Is this a normal thing? Why do I feel like I’m missing so freaking much? God, bring back hit stat or something so I can remove these bloody frustratin’ misses >:[
Dual wield specs have a hit modifier I believe. We miss roughly 19% of our melee swings. It is intended.
This. And there’s some bugs that is included that Enhancement suffers greatly from too. There’s a post somewhere and its a HUGE one too. We do not perform as intended beyond the abilities we have to use. Doesn’t help at all because we rely on RNG based procs than any other specialization, let alone classes currently.
Sadly its not being addressed still, not even a single pip in PTR…

I’m assuming you meant we rely on RNG “more” than any other spec, and that’s completely false. Frost mages entire rotation and gameplay rely on Fingers of Frost and Brain Freeze procs. Outlaw rogue DPS depends in large part on getting lucky with good Roll the Bones buffs. Frost DKs literally can’t function without Killing Machine and Rime procs.
The only RNG we have nowadays is Stormbringer.

Yeah we definitely don’t rely on rng procs much at all. In legion/BFA we did but now its all gated behind cooldowns and maelstrom weapon. The RNG is only there to slightly mix up what is imo a pretty boring and repetitive rotation.
Other specs with more RNG would be affliction where its entire builder mechanic is rng on dot ticks, and demonology which has its demon bolt builder tied to rng procs. Fury has a fair bit of RNG too
Well that is very build dependent. Considering there are two popular builds atm: doom winds and wolf bones.
Doom winds amplifies the rng tied to storm bringer, greatly varying the amount of damage you can do in one burst phase to the next. Maelstrom stacks are also on rng as well.
Wolf bones (our top ST build) relies on the same to rng above - storm bringer to a lesser degree. However you get the added fun of hot hands low proc rate and whether it will happen when you have your elemental spirits out. And whether your spirits will be amping your fire damage.
I would not say enhancement is not an rng spec lol
You absolutely SURE about that? You forget we have to CONTEST with our own RNG on top of RNG. We have to dual-wield weapons, a staggering 19% miss chance by default and no means to improve it, thankfully not able to make it worse unless debuffed in some way. Meaning even if you hit, you still gotta deal with the RNG change of it proccing.
Then we also got to attempt to stack Maelstrom. Further adding the fuel, our Windfury is a RNG in itself, especially typical for Shadowlands. If you run certain talents, that’s additional procs to be concerned about.
Even though it isn’t known or obvious before but remember when our imbues sometimes gets removed for changing zones? If that didn’t happen, it sometimes doesn’t actually tell you it isn’t working either, thus have to forcibly reapply them even though its been applied. This is more of a bug than RNG but it just comes to show we’re extremely high maintenance. We’re just bug-ridden, full of holes, and RNGs on top of RNGs. Its even worse that spending our Maelstrom via abilities is actually a hinderance because it in fact resets the Auto Attack counter too, causing problems why we aren’t doing as we intended, doesn’t matter if its Instant Cast or not.
Its a mess, a fun mess but some extremely glaring issues.
Nobody is saying enhance is not an rng spec, not sure how you comprehended that from what I said. The dude said no other spec has as much RNG as us, so I showed examples that is not the case. That clearly does not mean enhance has zero rng, just not the most in the game.

them low hot hands parses beg to differ when yourvsitting at the bottom and with no aoe awesome build right there.
Boring and repetitive. I hate enhancement and what blizz is making out of it. As if those in charge are being punished by seniors, cokblocked to make it a good spec.
All lightnings (and frost) should not be usable abilities anymore but procs on melee swing, and create new roads for this junk spec. It is a passive… numb minded way to fight for people sleeping on gas, in constant dream state, disconnected from reality being entertained by electricity.
