I was just wondering if silencing an enhancement shaman when they use ascendance + doomwinds stops a lot of the burst dmg.
You’ll get 100-0’d and you’ll like it

no because is not magic dmg…
what you need to do is stun them or disharm them.
the thing is, enhance burst is a one shot try thing, they have this one chance to win the game and if they fail things get significantly harder.
I understand how people love to cry about enhance burst, however they get literally 15 seconds of spotlight every 3 minutes, and most matches do not last until second ascendance.
so deal with it.
They win games all the time with ascendance procs. On use ascendance is mostly bait against anyone that knows whats going on. They get every CD out of the way with this.
It’s the following procs when you have nothing that generally win them games.

Considering how many times I’ve seen an Enh trinket out of my disarm when they doomwinds gonna guess disarming is the effective one
you know enhance can’t randomly proc ascendence out of nowhere if they pick the usable ascendence talent option right?
you have to pick either one or the other.
personally on my own experience, i lost far too many matches until i finally got better at learning the good timing to burst ascendence, as for the rng ascendence proc people can play that if they want to, but for me is far too unreliable.
Enhance burst with ascendence isn’t healthy for PvP. I legitimately got globaled on my hpal by an enh the other day. I stunned him when he popped his heroism after doomwinds was used because i knew what was coming. It got insta cleansed and I went from 100-0 before my global came back. Couldn’t even bubble.
Don’t bother trying to defend it and say different ways it can be countered. I am aware, but every other class with that kind of burst gets insta nerfed and has power redistributed elsewhere, because it’s not fun to play against. Bliz hates enh sham, so i’m sure they will get a lazy %nerf again
well if you look at ret paladin for example… their burst is not as strong as enhance, but its still very strong and they can do it every minute.
if enhance does not get any type of rework on how he works then at least i expect two things:
1 - reduce the burst dmg but make it reasonable in cd time like pala wings
or
2 - nerf the burst but increase the sustain dmg of enhance by a lot
enhance got many problems other melee do not have, his defensive options are not very good, snares and slow are a big problem as well as other melee got different ways to deal with it but enhance barely can do the same.
his cc options are bad as well, static totem is something most shamans do not use (i do… i want cc dammit), and hex is a cast spell that can be quite hard to use if you are being trained, and you can also move as a frog to position yourself for the moment you get out or simply to take aoe dmg and free yourself from the hex.
most of this stuff like roots, static and so on…they work fat better on the design of elemental shaman than enhancement.
ultimately the only reason enhance can get anywhere is considering he lacks healing reduction effects as well, is because he got dumb damage.
