How good/bad is windfury totem?

How much damage bonus does a windfury totem give for each player?

I don’t know the numbers but I heard a few months ago by a top raider that it’s nice but it’s not going to make enhancement viable for the top percentage of players.

The bad part about WF Totem for me is you have to keep dropping it every pack pull or if your group moves out of range. You also have to be careful not to trigger Doomwinds at the wrong time, if you take the legendary, as it’s tied to a group buffing ability.

So I am a deicated enhancement player and I will tell you that with the groups i run with you can see Melee attacks being pretty high up in their damage. WF totem has a 20% chance to give every melee and I should also say hunter to hit or shoot their target an extra hit.

I have ran in guild mythics and I have asked if the melee and hunters if they have noticed an increase due to wf totem and they said that auto attack damage was higher up on their dps than it was before.

So this has been my experience with wf totem since I started running mythics and hard mode.

I would think pet classes would notice a bigger difference as well since some of them have their damage ties to pet melee, ie: UH DK.

Well I have ran with a mix of hunters either bm or MM. I did run with a unholy dk and he was confused at why he was doing more damage than usual. I am not sure if wf proc works for army of dead but they are melee. I just know he said his dps was higher. But he was using everything. And in my raid most of the melee had auto attack damage at a higher point than usual.

Again this is just my experience.

This being said I am still seeing a reluctance of people to invite me to mythic +. And it seems I shock people with my dps when they do invite me. So work hard my Enhancement brothers and sisters to help banish this negative stigma about Enhancement Shamans.

got keystone master last week and i think the solution is DEFINITELY… make some friends. push your keys with discord, if necessary. it will happen

WF totem also greatly helps classes that rely on auto attacks for resource generation. Think ret pally BoW and havoc DH with felblade/demon blades. I think it also helps warrior rage gen too iirc.
