Huh? Enhance single target is pretty middle of the pack. It’s not bad, but it’s certainly not something it can do that no one else can.
And it in no way makes up for the deficit in AoE.
Which is to say that it’s a Blizzard created Design problem. The DPS structure IS fine. The issue is tuning and caps. Compared to Ret Paladins or other meta melee specs, their damage is front loaded compared to ours. Which doesn’t work in PvP environment, on top of lack of pressure and control.
Enhancement is in its own class. It’s both a rotation and priority spec. Yet, there is a 2nd tier priority to it if you look at Ice Strike, Primordial Wave, and our current Tier set. Things have to be done right enough to put out the dps or it suffers. Hey, you took damage and the Healer drags their feet in getting to you? No problem, just self heal and burn all of that saved up Mealstrom stacks. Meanwhile, Mr. Warrior brains goes herpy-ty-derpy cause Ignore pain hurts their dps. Must be nice to not have any responsibilities and do high damage.
You know, GOD FORBID a Shaman do certain Affix mechanics, self heal so other greedy party member’s dps doesn’t suffer while dropping compacitor totem and thunderstrike to help control trash mobs. And be told we’re trash once in a while cause of our low damage compared to the meta trash.
while I really don’t get the bladestorm reference this person is talking about prio funnel, which enhance is built for even now
It’s just that current tuning and other classes allow them to also excel at this niche, while surpassing enh in other areas.
