if its a blood dk or unholy or frost they are rolling for the same thing so just deathknights the 3 specs don’t count as 3 separate classes, last I check there isent any agility 2h maces feral and guardian druids use staffs and polearms
Honestly I don’t like the idea of 2 handed enhancement shaman.
-
Is the reliance on auto attacks and wind fury. I don’t want to be an auto attack but and depending on ranged burst damage.
-
If they do make enhancement depend on wind fury, they would nerf us in other regards like healing, bluffs, survival, and cc.
-
The burning crusade shaman is my favorite. Dual wielding and using spell power and spell damage. I like that are shocks and spell damage is our main source of damage and not physical.
-
Glad they are getting rid of maelstrom to try new things and bring back old things. I think windfury is an unbalance mess and a boring mechanic and play style.

I rather be a support dps specialist than a burst warrior and I rather be a duel wielding elemental dps that is versatile than be a physical dps warrior. I like are spell damage elemental damage and I like some range attacks and healing as we as control and utility.
I hope they don’t bring back windfury. That would be very boring and make me not play enhancement. I rather they buff our healing and gives us more utility and stuns as well as some decent sustain damage.

the class already has horrible self defense design, terrible heals, terrible means of any , you got a useless 3 second cap totem that nobody in their right mind would trinket and with 90% of the community being orcs its even shorter than that, and you have a hex that has to be casted and is most the time used to bait a dps kick for your healer, with all the added spells and abilities it wouldn’t be soely relying on auto attacks and windfury, people are forgetting that we are pushing for the choice of having the option to play a 2h enhance

If they bring us 2 handed weapons, I would want windfury removed. Make us be able to parry attacks and do elemental strikes with our 2 handed weapon.
Also would be nice to buff other people based on our crits or attacks with elemental damage.
Could even allow lightning to fly out of are 2 handed axes and get a range attack as a spell strike ability.
Blizzard PLEASE bring back 2h Enhancement! I’ll drop my rogue to 100% main my shaman if that happens.

Ah, but there are if you make every mace with strength able to switch to agility as well.
Druids can use two handed maces. There just aren’t any agility ones because only they could use them. It was much more simple to make all agility weapons staves and polearms for druids, hunters, and monks.
But now you want every weapon to be used by basically every melee dps type. But why stop there? Why not make it so every weapon has agility / strength / intellect stats attached so every class fights for gear?

not wanting windfury for a enhancement shaman? why even play the class? everytime you think of a enhance shaman what is the first thing that comes to your mind? windfury. that being said If that’s the case just play a frost dk your a 2h wielder doing frost damage same thing

so you add 1 more class to mix
so you got dk warr pally and druid intellect has more classes that share the same stats, it wouldn’t be a issue
and either way personal loot is a thing so it wouldn’t even matter nobody is fighting for anything
The first thing that comes to mind when playing shaman is hybrid. Support. Healing. Utility.
Windfury is not even good in classic wow. Why bring it to retail ? It would be best if they buffed are elemental damage and gave us more burst in other ways.
I know you want 1 shot mechanics but that would nerf are pvp and raid and dungeon.
nobody wants 1shot mechanics , people want to play the class and be different from others, just like frost dks are having the choice of either DW or a 2h its the choice of being different and playing the class how you would like to
once tbc came out you had the choice of DW or using a 2h they both had their ups and downs, same logic applies now. yes enhance still need a lot of work when it comes to actual survival but at the same time we still don’t know the full extent on all the changes
" As with Elemental, the Maelstrom resource and Maelstrom bar have been removed from Enhancement Shaman. Enhancement will return to a specialization based on managing a number of cooldown abilities"
does this mean that we are reverting back to mana? does that mean we will have a higher mana pool to have more self heals? we are getting healing tide back, what other abilities are we getting that still haven’t been listed? its still to early to say anything. people just would like the option of making their toon different than the next guy . this thread is about allowing shamans to have the option to use 2hs if they really want to

You’ve never raided before, have you? Personal loot does nothing except make It even harder to get that one item you want to drop. And if it’s a specific item that only a few people in your group can have drop, then it’s not going to.
But then that one person does get it. Then they get it again the next week. Now they have to roll that item off. If you have few people in the raid that can use it, then great. Less people to roll against.
But then, imagine getting a highly-desired trinket or ring twice in a row then having to roll that off. Then imagine everyone in the group rolling for it. It really sucks to have to compete with so many people. So why would you want to expand that headache to another class - our class, for a weapon type a small portion of the playerbase actually wants because they’re nostalgic for Vanilla?
Variations of gameplay are fine. I like having multiple options. Going back to an archaic playstyle shouldn’t be the way to do it unless you have some grand vision on how to make the alternate playstyle fun, modern, and competitive while also using the rest of the kit.
They already nerf our healing and other abilites without depending on windfury.
I don’t know. But I actually am excited to go back to Maelstrom Weapon gameplay. It was really fun being a spellblade. Not a fury warrior with some magic damage.

On my brother behalf that has played Shaman since Vanilla! It is only fair and highly demanded for over a decade that 2Handed enhance is a Must return for enhancement shamans.
If DKs and monks get it back then god d.mnit so should Enhancement!

No, they go on to explain that Maelstrom Weapon stacks will be the resource.
Well, you’re both right. Mana was a resource, but the mana costs for attacks and spells were negligible and was really only used for healing.
Ima lay this out for ya. If some one puts something out for a roll then for all purposes it’s a bonus roll.
Allow enhancement shamans to use pole arms. Boom. Enhance rolls on staves and pole arms. So that’s 3 fighting over items. Staves and pole arms are already supported by the transmog system to be axes, maces, (and swords for those who can use them.)
