Hello!
I have not seen this requested beyond my small enhance shaman circles in discord. So, I thought I’d try to get the discussion going on forums.
Please increase the weapon speed of a spellpower 1H mace/dagger/fist weapon in Ulduar to be 2.6 speed.
This would allow for enhance shamans to continue with the insanely fun spellpower gearing strategy, and aid us in scaling equivalently as other classes in this phase.
Without this change, I believe it would be likely that Wraith Strike still remains our best option even with the item level buffs. And, I think we can agree nobody finds it fun to have old underpowered gear remaining BiS for a long time.
Cheers,
Bozzy

First off being novel doesnt make something fun. Second it wouldnt let enhancement scale better because physical shaman scales better than spellhance.

The two things don’t have to be mutually exclusive. At the same time to think that Blizzard is going to do anything like this is a pipe dream.
this could hurt other classes like a paladin auto attacking for seal of wisdom procs

I for one would prefer a better 2 handed AGI weapon speed alternative for my shaman.

Not going to do it on your hunter?
We do not want blizzard messing with class balance this includes things like reitimzing stat wieghts like wep speed.
This is the same answer every thread asking for buffs or nerfs to a spec has gotten and the same every one should get.
We knew going in the rough power level of all specs and what is likly to come. As such you accepted the power level of your spec when you made it. You should not be expecting any changes and they should not happen. As no matter what change you make you will annoy just as many as like it and far more likly annoy far more than like it. Spell enhance is no different you knew uldar you would have non ideal wep speeds as such you deal with that. Just like warriors and ret pallys are having to deal with being below tanks in dps durring naxx.

The part that we did not know beforehand is the Ulduar item level buff. If there is not a weapon speed change, everyone else will benefit greatly while my spec could suffer.
I’m not trying to make demands or complain - just putting out there an optimization that could make many people very happy.
Since they are making very large changes to itemization anyways, I’d be super appreciative if someone at Blizz would consider the change.

Spell enhance is one of those true degen builds that just griefs others. It shouldn’t continue to be viable, I’m sorry
It’s like fiery weapon warriors

Spellhance scales poorly amd will continue to get worse throughout the expansion. I havent run sims on P2 weapons but certainly by P3 when arp starts stacking youll barely care about your sp other than as a small added bonus.
Enhance just isnt a high tier dps spec in wrath… Soz
No it isnt lol. Not even remotely comparable.
What a dumb post rofl…

Probably the worst idea I have seen in a while.

Not even remotely close to the same thing. LOL.
I’m guessing you have absolutely no clue how it even works. You assume we all wear cloth or something I’m sure.
It’s normal AP gear outside of 2-3 slots. (Weapon, neck, ring) And you use a glyph of fire nova totem… That’s literally it.
Absolutely nothing else changes.
Educate yourself homie.

That caster gear.
Another person who is clueless as to what spellhance is

Dagger.
2.6 speed.
Yes, yes, let the enhancement shamans ask for this change, so all the rogues can swoop in and snag those daggers for the aoe spec.
But really though, itemization changes should not happen.
