Two Hand Enhancement Shaman

Good Morning Blizzard,

Would it be possible for you to simply enable Shamans to use Stormstrike with a two hand weapon?
A simple request and I think it would be a simple fix right? This would enable Enhance to be sort of viable with Two Hand weapons, and would add a lot of flavor and fun.

Historically Enhance Shamans rocked a Big Two Hand Weapon and I feel we are missing the essence of what that specialization used to be.

Just a thought,

Thanks

I doubt it would happen any time soon but it wouldn’t surprise me since they brought back 2H Frost. Lots of fun with 2H Windfury crits despite Windfury being a shadow of it’s former self.

If tuned right, 2h enhancement wouldn’t replace what we have now.

Problem is wouldn’t they have to make weapons specifically for 2h enhancement that no one else can realistically use? weapons generally have two primary stats: stamina and whatever the spec uses.

I would assume they’d use the same kind of weapons that Survival Hunters or 2H monks use. If they like the axe look, transmog works.

Survival hunters only use polearms and shaman’s can’t wield polearms if I remember right.

Edit: Also on a side note, monks, specifically windwalkers which had the unpruned feature of being able to use a 2 hander again, only just got the functionality working in the last beta build or two. I’d take serious issue if they fixed enhancement shamans to have that functionality in 1/6th of the time it took them to get it to monks.

Not neccesarily. There’s agility staves that can be mogged into whatever two-hander once you get them.

I think it’s too late to hope for it in SL, though. Should be easier than ever to tune due to how AP scaling works now.

I’d have at least liked cosmetic only two hand mogs. :confused:

I know it would create more work for them looking at gear and stats if they were to really make the spec two handed.
I’m not even asking for all that, I just think it would be great to have options , and I don’t see why stormstrike should be restricted to a one hand weapon.

Furthermore, Its interesting that they still even let a shaman use a two hand mace/axe. Why even let you equip one if you can’t do anything with it? Ya know. (i.e. Shamans can use actual two hand axes. not a transmog)

It used to be a thing until Wrath ended and they intentionally killed it.

So you can collect mogs. I can mog a 2 handed staff over my 1 hand and offhand while in healing spec. Don’t know the story with whether you can apply that to dual wield, might be a thing where you can’t because you’re still auto attacking with two weapons and they can’t do that for whatever reason.

Is this something new in Shadowlands, or are you referring to Artifact weapon mogs?
