How should I make use of the 31 point enhancement talent Stormstrike? The mana cost is high for something in a predominantly melee spec, and it provides only one extra white attack on a long cooldown.
What situation are we talking about here? pve or pvp?
IN pvp it’s jsut another chance to proc windfury before you get exploded or kited to death.
The situation in Pve is alittle more complex as it soaks up a debuff slot.
Ideally we shouldn’t be using it at all on fights without adds but with adds needing to die quickly + the chance that a full stack of debuffs won’t be going up stormstrike away.
I Generally just use it on trash and forget about it on boss fights.
Where it shines is farming where you can make the most use out of the actual hit and the debuff it provides.
Ok thanks. So it sounds like it’s worth using in PVP and PVE unless the debuff is an issue then.
What do you use the debuff for? To be able to burst someone with max rank Earth Shock afterwards?
I’ve been leveling as 1h+shield with flametongue weapon, so I imagine to get the most out of stormstrike a 2H would make more sense, and with windfury.
SS into an ES is pretty deadly if you get WF crits. If you’re playing alongside an Ele shaman and coordinated them it’s also pretty dang deadly.
Shaman are all about dat 2H when you’re enhance.
if your attack speed is 2.0 with flurry, then using it every 20 seconds will essentially increase your attack speed by 10%, not considering the debuff
and your attack speed is probably slower than 2.0 with flurry
Good point about synergy with other nature damage. Alright I’ll look into 2H. The 1H blue and epics have been super cheap though when leveling lol.
