I haven’t really enjoyed it since WOD.
Shamanistic Rage, usable while stunned, glyphed to remove magic effects(my DH can remove magic effects and even reverse it)
AoE blessing of freedom totem, we get kited so easily as enhance
Ascendance, baseline and off GCD
Actually a few things were off GCD and it just made shaman feel better. We have too many things on GCD right now
Feral spirits used to break a root, heal, and stun. Much more preferable to now imo.
Stoneskin I think it was called, gave us a barrier for dmg absorption.
Heck as a pvp only player I even miss chain harvest from SL I didn’t want primordial wave, yet priests and demon hunters got to keep their preferred abilities.
Also can we get ascendance baseline and down to 2 minutes. It’s a joke of a burst cd. It needs to do nature damage again at least and then just remove the AOE on activate and take away the GCD. Who do you think wins everytime, Metamorphosis for 40 seconds, monk bursts that Parry everything, pallies with wings and bubbles, rogues with stuns and 1 button rotation, or ascendance.
Also doom winds needs to get off GCD also or be baseline with wf totem again.
I could play other classes but my shaman will always be my main and I can’t enjoy my alts if I can’t enjoy my shaman idk why lol. All I can do is let this sub run out I guess. Until then use it to post on forums so the nonexistent enhance devs to not read

Tremor totem, grounding totem all need to be off the GCD. Ascendance and Astral Shift should be off the GCD, AS usable in stuns.
Thunderous Paws should be 100% movement speed increase on a 20 second CD.
Give Shamanistic Rage back, usable in stuns if AS still isn’t. Add in a port totem that has double the health of the shaman or can’t be killed.
Make hot hands 1 point. Move Hailstorm/Fire Nova to be underneath Lava Lash. Make Molten Assault 1 point. Move Refreshing Waters to the class tree since every shaman spec has it in their spec tree (seems like the purpose of a class tree here). Replace it with Shamanistic Rage.
Buff Lava Lash damage by 75%, buff Ice Strike damage by 100%.
Remove overflowing maelstrom, return our MSW cast to be 5. Buff MSW to be similar numbers as now and remove the negative healing in PvP.
Once this is done maybe then we can compete with mages/DHs/wars/rogues and everything else that gets to be A/S tier for an entire xpac like the last 3 xpacs.

All perfectly reasonable comments which won’t get looked at because class favourtism exists and shaman is at the bottom

I desperately want to get into arenas on my main. I seriously enjoyed solo shuffle for a bit but between the long queue times, getting nothing when someone left, and being railroaded right out of the gates with both DPS bursting on me and my own healer unable to do anything or even my own defensives doing anything…I decided it wasn’t worth it until Blizzard did something.

Revert some of the nerfs on healing surge in PvP!
28% MSW nerf plus 30% healing surge nerf that carried over from shadowlands is TOO MUCH!
Get rid of some of the nerfs so our heals are effective. Our heals were SO much better in shadowlands and we weren’t dominant then (AND we had chain harvest).
Also, please consider making overflowing MSW increase max MSW count to 15 so we can still bank a heal. Banking a heal is critical to enhance survivability and we can’t do it anymore with overflowing MSW. Meanwhile, we are basically forced into playing overflowing because 5 stack MSW casts are so weak.
Please help enhance out in PvP. We are doing terrible.
And it is, in large measure, due to unwarranted PvP only nerfs rather than the baseline kit.
For the life of me i cannot figure out why players who are enh main bought dragonflight and expected things to change. The writing was on the wall. Play a different spec in pvp. They all play the same outside of defensives and a few utility spells

It wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t see busted rat classes like DK/DH/WAR doing everything we do but better and blizzard still choosing to nerf shaman specifically in pvp. What a load of garbage

And Primordial Wave/Ascendance. IDC about the “throughput not in class tree” excuse because it’s a bad one. DK has abom limb and empowered rune weapon in class tree. I want the spec trees to be unique and as it stands 3 talents are shared across the entire class in each spec tree and it’s genuinely just lazy.
I really feel like the Shaman devs, if there are any, are really letting us down.

We really lost a lot from pruning, and while blizzard tries to unprune classes again, shaman stays short.
Totems used to be on their OWN GCD, Stoneclaw totem would solve most of our current problems(a barrier on ourselves and our totems). SHAMANISTIC RAGE FFS, a real defensive on a 1min cd, not the garbage we have now. Wolves heal, Hex insta with MSW.
Last time I remember Enhance was actually meta was back in Legion, doomwinds was off the GCD 
. We never were a tanky class but since BFA we are actually a piece of paper on mail armor.
Blizzard we don’t ask much, just unprune our class. I like our talents trees, I like the current playstyle of enhancement but I don’t like not having defensives or healing and just kite like I’m a caster except every 1.5min.
