Tank spec easy

Tank spec. if they did a 2h enhance they could just add a spell like they did with frost dks. the issue i think they feel is theyd have to add agility to two hand wepaons as well as strength and i think they dont want to do it.

Id vote for tank spec.

2 hand enhance is literally just a cosmetic change. In no way, shape or form would it change how the spec plays.

I love enhance, but Id gladly sacrifice it to tank.

they could do like they have already done with some 2h that had str and intel depending on you’re spec or likr 1h swords that had str and intel. Or str and agi. they have already done this

this is the most wrong thing you could have said. lol

It doesnt change your rotation…at all.

Regardless of how the damage is time-stamped in the combat log, it doesnt change anything with how the spec plays.

you sure about that?

are you sure about that?

Simple.

How many times do I have to answer yes?

If you have some rebuttle otherwise, say what is different. Because you have shown nothing that refutes that the spec would play the same whether it is 2 hand or dual wield.

Yeah, another chopped up video showing only the RNG crits that align. Anyone that has played since the time of 2 hand enhance has seen countless videos that are never unedited play. They always chop out the boring parts.

Regardless, the skills are the same and the spec plays the same.

2h will mean no lava lash since it requires an off hand weapon

I agree, it isn’t as straightforward as these videos often portray.

Here’s how I actually see it. In my opinion, WOW should have a tank class that wears mail armor. And seeing as the new Evoker isn’t going to fulfill that role, many believe Shaman should. As many are aware, this idea has been around since classic, mainly because they had different abilities, talents, and whatnot.

If the Evoker isn’t going to tank and there’s no sign of Shaman’s doing it either, 2H Enhance is the more easily accessible option. That’s why my vote goes to 2H, not because it makes more sense, but because it’s more likely to happen.

Tank spec no brainer

There is a shortage of tanks - in the new expansion it might get worse as there is a new healer class - giving more options to play tank will help alleviate this.

Blizzard listen to the community please !

The entire skillset requires an offhand weapon…

It was obvious you had nothing.

Stormstrike is a mh attack it would make sense for it to be used just fine with a 2h.

Lava lash is an off hand attack. If you don’t have an off hand like you wouldn’t with a 2h, you just don’t lava lash.

2h, but will we get it? Unlikely since lava lash is assumed to be some unworkable obstacle to some…

Just make lavalash generate maelstrom when 2 handing instead of doing bonus damage (since we wont have flametongue).

Increase Windfury proc rate when 2 handing.

You have all the same other buttons working fine…

P.S. Every expansion Shamans ask for this… No update yet. Blizz is listening. Also bring back Shamanistic Rage.

I tanked a lot on my shaman prior to them removing threat generators for shaman. Albeit, I overgeared the content, but it wasn’t hard.

Warlocks tanked certain aspects of raids as well.

Dks use spells to tank, as do pallies, druid and DH. Tou can easily make an earthen warder type theme for a tank shaman

The idea of earth based shaman tank keeps popping up and is something that fits quite nicely into the shaman theme.
