Thinking of another alt
The ability to feel like I can carry BGs and outplay people in 1v2+s is critical to my enjoyment of a spec. Kinda worried about Shammies because they have limited anti-CC mechanics and they can’t attack during their one invulnerability.
So how do people feel about Enhance and Ele?
Do you feel like you trade well into Ret/MM? Do you fold when multiple people target you? Do you feel like you don’t like to stray too far from Healers? Do you feel like you can carry team fights?
But can do 1 million damage coming out of that invulnerability. 
With cooldowns up you can pretty much pick a person to die since very few people have seen this. They don’t know what to watch out for. My mastery can spike much higher than these clips now (>140% when everything has procced).
That said, I’d recommend playing with a healer in team fights. It is fine in 1v1s and some 1v2s (depending on classes).
no no more shamans plz staaaaaapppppppp lightening me to death plz D: just staaaaapppppppp it

Been playing ele shaman, it’s good in overall damage and can bring down entire teams to low quickly.
But in a 1v2 it’s difficult since any competent dps will be able to chain cc and interrupt the shaman.
You have to really know your matchups. It can 1v2 against noobs all day but better players might be able to pick up on your setups.
Love my Ele.
One can have their presence felt easily but I wouldn’t say carry a team but definitely impact the fight. Survivability is good and healers don’t have to work too hard to keep you up.
Ele is is a good spot. Not too tanky but not squishy like upon release.
Damage is great and you will be right near the top at most times if played correctly.
Very fun class.
Meatballs go brrrr, I like seeing 15-20 of them go out. Ele feels pretty strong

Ele can carry fights with the insane damage it does. It also has very powerful offhealing, if specced for it. Can easily save your healer that’s getting dogpiled, or save yourself. Basically, if the enemy doesn’t straight up kill you in the duration of a stun or interrupt lockout, you’re not dying unless OOM.
You do fairly well into most FOTM bg specs like MM (high armor with mail + shield helps a lot). Ret is also manageable. You have a large amount of anti-caster tech as well. That said, you’re going to have problems if multiple people focus you at the same time. Outside of Burrow, you don’t have a lot of escape options. But, if you have some LOS to work with, you can kite with ghost wolf and abuse your healing to pull off some pretty silly stuff…like winning a 1v3 against three FOTM hunters in the middle of twin peaks by using the rocks on alliance side mid as LOS, for example.
It’s a challenging spec but also very rewarding. Very good for solo shuffle also.
I want to make a shaman that only spams chain lighting and lava beam.

Shamans dont seem to care what they’re fighting in my experience. they just chain lightning everything.
One look at the solo shuffle leader board will prove this.
Maybe if solos shuffle was last one standing, instead of first to die…
