No one is worrried I think about ele resto. People are worried about enhance. We know that enhance is only next phase getting flurry, which every other melee is getting some other strong talent or as a warrior getting flurry, sword spec etc. enhance gets an imbue which in era is basically statistically similar to rockbiter albeit we don’t know any bug or unknown interactions of DW and windfury, And enhance gets 1 extra attack every 20 seconds. Currently enhance is around 22-25% below the mean dps. These items listed above aren’t really going to change that much unless massive DW bugs exist with windfury or changes. I wrote a whole post on this.
The reality is people say enhance makes GREAT tanks though have their head in the sand. Once fury prot is online or feral over takes threat, you aren’t bringing an enhance to tank. Why would you? Fury prot will do insane damage, and we know it holds monster threat. If feral tanks can continue to use wild strikes and tank you have a free totem buff with leader of the pack in your tank group. Hell they even might provide mangle still. “It’s just level 25 wait for cap” is the most don’t look up logic as the meteor is hurtling towards your spec. Enhance shamans KNOW there are huge glaring issues like unable to scale with whetstones or split stats between spellpower and attack power for your hybrid damage.
If this was classic I’d understand the well enhance is bad argument, but it’s suppose to be season of discovery where you can play the old “bad” specs. Not stuck playing the same 2 specs as we did for years in classic/private servers.
