Exactly. It seems people lack an understanding on the shaman class.
Or never played one back then cause they were previously Alliance lol

My knowledge is only from a few years ago. The ONLY enhancement shaman I saw in 60 raids ran a nightfall. But unless the shaman is vastly overgeared, he will be whopped hard by other melee. But roll enhancement if you like. Your struggles to get a raid slot later aint my problem.
i think you should turn the mirror on yourself when you say that.
im sure that with gear they do plenty of dps and maybe can compete with hunters aq onwards . i dont think they will be able to compete with warlocks mages fury wars and rogues though.
in fact i wont even ask for the video cause i know it was on a pserver and their info is flawed to the point that you can just throw it out and fall back on common knowledge from vanilla itself .
youre fooling yourself but enjoy doing what dps you can manage to do and dont try and blow smoke up everyones butt.

Man, not gonna lie, I will be the f*ing ret paladin of the Horde as enhancement Shaman, I just love the fantasy of Shamans in Classic + wielding weapons and the elements at the same time.

I’m not kidding either…the guides for Classic on WoWhead feature Ele/Resto only. Enhancement was under honorable mentions and it states that it’s not viable for raids and that Nightfall can be used by a resto shammy LOL
I think you should research the matter if you’re so interested. You lack knowledge on the subject. 
Haha, not only are they wrong about Resto, but Elemental is harder to utilize in a raid than enhancement.
i have. you have mana issues unless you just auto attack and plop totems down and get very lucky with windfury crits and have a tank worth their salt to hold aggro off your spikey aggro gen when he hits 5 sunders and you double windfury into a trinket extra attack and pull aggro.
but that would be once in a blue moon that you get all those procs and arent oom even with consumables like 4 mins into the fight.
but ya i guess i dont know.

You may want to familiarize yourself with dark/demonic runes. Also, auto attack is the vast majority of the dps of enhancement shaman. You seem to be applying 15 year old faulty prejudices to the modern day.
lol . have fun. i hope you get a raid spot to do your leet damage.
Thanks 
It’s going to be awesome!
They are probably the least scary spec of any class in pvp. A bunch of people made videos of the rare instances you quadruple proc with hand of rag. The reality is you do no dmg and people just ignore you and you aren’t getting hand of rag.
Most of your kills will be you stealing the kb from a ranged class that did the real work. Enjoy going 4-22 in wsg.
By farming dark/demonic runes a person can effectively trade health for mana like a lock, just not as often, but it’s often enough to avoid going oom if you have enough of them. But as far as pulling aggro on a triple WF crit you are right that really can happen, but as you said it is once in a blue moon. The thing is, Enh brings some good dmg buffing for their group through their increased dmg on WF totem through talents and such. It’s not only their DPS but other’s dps that improves as well.
Note - Keep in mind that certain buffs were not raid wide but applied to the specific group they were in. Can’t remember if totems fell into that category or not
Yeah Elemental is the way to go for pvp. Enhancement was OP pre-nerf if you were super geared. It’s not much of a legitimate threat in pvp.
Many people fell into the pvp video trap, like when rogues show them murdering people all video. They cherry picked the 1vs1 gank wins. They didn’t show all the times they got wrecked to overpowers, flares, dots, etc. I think this is one of the reasons why streamers are popular. Their action is live and unedited. They can’t edit out 9/10 bad fights and stockpile only the 1/10 good fights that make them good fantastic. Power of editing!

Rogues are at least a real threat in PVP. They may not fair as well in big team battles, but they definitely have their strong-suits. Enhancement shaman in pvp lack CC and mobility to really have an impact on the game. Elemental is just much more effective.
Are people calling Enhance a meme specc? Shamans have always done well in PvE, even in classic I never remember complaints about enhance PvE

Thank you unfortunately many people dismiss enhancement shaman as an noncompetitive meme spec. It’s going to be great to see them kick some butt!
It’s so funny to see people complain about raids being easy but then want to bar particularly classes from raiding, so which is it? Either way I’m raiding ret my guild doesn’t give a damn they want me geared for PvP.

When the raid leader finds out there’s an enhancement shaman in one of the groups:
