Enhance rework makes me want to quit

Enhance was incredible in DF s4.

All they had to do was clean up the 2 point talent nodes and make some tweaks to the Ascendance talents like they did for ele and resto.

Instead they have wasted a lot of valuable dev time making the spec worse. Unbelievable.

Been playing around with elementalist builds and they seem pretty competitive. Ran one for a key and pack to pack consistent high damage, with ascendence here and there to pop off a bit especially on single target.

Fun too, procs hit right and you can get a pretty comfortable groove going.

Edit: totemic elementalist, should say

Kinda agree to be honest, I don’t think this patch enhance is more fun than the previous.

The new talents are cool what they should have done and have done to a degree should have been to remove 2 talent nodes and fill back up with other talents.
But instead they also nerfed certain interactions for stormbringer, and killed pwave capstones even further which is insane.

1: bring back 3 msw refund for tempest and make it baseline and work in AOE and st
2: supercharge back to 3 and works with elemental blast not as a bug but as a feature
3: arc discharge longer duration to use the buff, or it also works if you use ele blast and launches a bolt to the target. If you have double tempest, if launches a bolt or chain depending on which one you cast last, just like ascendance.
4: pwave primal maelstrom needs to be buffed to more or less match the MSW generation of static accumulation.
5: unnerf splinter
6: more things need to work with blast, things like supercharge and awakening storms.
7: lashing flame rework or removal, my suggestion would be buff instead of debuff and 50% damage+25 or 50% tick rate. So you would actually feel a little difference instead of it being just a damage amp
8: increase hailstorm max stacks to 20 or more.
9: msw max stacks to 15, only 10 can be used at a time though.
10: bones 4 % MSW proc baseline, the choice is between passive or CDR wolves.
11: less or no 2 talent nodes more talents to fill the tree back.
12: legacy procs stormbringer, and makes your next storm strike deal frost or frost and physical damage.

After you’ve done this do some % nerfs here and there and it’s done.

Yeah no, old Supercharge and Static together were degenerate and completely overtook the Enhancement Shaman. I don’t know why they don’t touch Static and this version of Enhancement is a BFA level of stupidity.

Even if you buffed them, they still won’t get picked because Static and Thorim are way stronger than unnerf version of Splinter.

Support and Lightning Rod should be the same as the Lashing Flame rework.

We still have too much MSW generations and that won’t solve anything.

It still won’t get picked and it doesn’t offer anything to enh’s engine. Elemental Assault gives a lot of MSW, Feral Spirit gives a lot of MSW and Static / Thorim’s gives a lot of MSW. Legacy of the Frost Witch doesn’t give anything like other talents.

Yeah, copied a build I saw on a high rated enhance for m+ (elementalist totemic), and man, I’m having a blast with this build. Great AoE and solid enough ST - makes me happy to have a theme of storm, earth and fire like a WC3 shaman :joy:

Enjoying totemic way more than I thought I was going to
