I suggest taking Shield Specialization for your first tier while leveling.
Run Wailing Caverns a few times as DPS/heals until you get Stinging Viper and Kresh’s Back, then you’re set up to tank it until you finish off your Embrace of the Viper set. I was able to keep up on gear from that point to continue tanking dungeons up to level 40. Got myself the full Chain of the Scarlet Crusade with the tabard.
Tanks, bad rogues, and oom mages.
It’s going to be funny when an enhancement shaman out-dps’ you. 
It’s ok though, you’ll learn.
This is literally the WoW version of the facebook antivax mom.
You watched one video with 2,934 views and think its more valuable than 15 years worth of people actually playing. In that time you would of thought that someone else would have figured the secret Enh trick that defies literally all current knowledge we have about them.
I don’t think they are as bad as people exaggerate but this guy has Shamans out dpsing Warriors in Naxx.
I was just loosely messing around with you - would be happy to see proof of Enhance Shammy beating Mages, Rogues, and Fury Wars.
However - As it stands, you’re basing your claim off of pserver data/target dummies, and pserver BIS-been-farming-Naxx-for-two-years parses.
Play it in progression and bring real DPS logs back to the forum. I’m willing to be educated.
15 years worth of knowledge based on a faulty premise and prejudice. Nowhere did I say they certainly “out-dps naxx warriors” I said they produce competitive numbers. Improving your reading comprehension would benefit you greatly.
It is possible to raid as enhancement shaman as long as you go full hardcore on pre raid farming, the amount of consumables was pretty big. Same isn’t truth for other hybrid classes.
Major reaosn to see soo few enhancement shamans was
-Can’t use stormstrike
-Oom fast
-no tier set to do damage outside pvp.
That and resto had mana tide totem, which was reaaaally good.
Also having no tier set means competing with A LOT of people for gear, which sucked hard and you would take much more time than the others.
I would gladly play it in progression to exhibit the capabilities of enhancement shaman. I’m just having a bit of fun with this thread as well. As someone else has pointed out, people exaggerate how bad they are, and people seem to be applying two different standards on what constitutes a legitimate dps spec.
I’d hope so. I’m a resto shaman.
That’s good, you’ll heal while I produce competitive dps. 
I appreciate your insight, but you most certainly can use stormstrike. The people claiming you can’t are not only factually wrong, but basing their presumption on a flawed understanding of the game.
As long as you keep me out of 0/22/29 and twist totems for the warriors/rogues you could have a spot in my raid. Don’t think you’ll out dps them unless you neglect them on the totems, in which case you wouldn’t have a spot in my raid.
Yeah, that’s a fair assessment. Gets more hate than it deserves.
Good luck with it - report back if you can prove me wrong!
(And no, I don’t want to see your sick one-shot PvP montage… 
)
The majority of enhancement shaman dps comes from auto-attack, which doesn’t interfere with Totem-twisting.
The problem is that the nature dmg boosting debuff that SS applies would get used up fairly quickly from either a hunter’s serpent sting, a rogue’s poisons, a boomkin’s spells, etc. since it applies to ALL Nature dmg not just yours. So technically yes you CAN use SS but you won’t see the benefit from it on your own dps…only that of others
Of course, or consumed by a thunderfury proc, the debuff isn’t significant for the shaman. The vast majority of their dps comes from auto-attack. Stormstrike is just an extra attack every 20 seconds, and should definitely be used.
No it shouldn’t be used.
Actually a enhance shaman with that axe that can debuff the boss to increase spell damage 15% would prob be very useful
True since it can help to proc WF, although it must be timed correctly so that you don’t end up resetting your swing timer and gimping your dps
You may want to familiarize yourself with dark/demonic runes. Stormstrike should 100% be used.
People have actually stated that a resto shaman can just as easily apply that debuff using that particular axe without the need for an enh shammy but the funny part, is that you have to spec into 2h weapon in enhancement to be able to do that…some people apparently forgot about that bit
