I have enha and ret, both are mele dps and enha is super trash in pve and pvp. Im not talking about cringe tank-ele specs, im talking about 2h/dual normal enha.
U cant do dmg in pve and pvp vs any mail/plate users, u cant heal urself well from 5 stacks, u cant survive without tank rune any stun.
2h procks wf so bad, it can have no procs all duel, duals not upgrading from Stormbreaker bonus.
Enha dps is like tank dps, look https://www.wowhead.com/classic/news/season-of-discovery-phase-7-dps-rankings-naxxramas-week-2-372139?utm_source=discord-webhook
My Suggestions:
- Healing wave(not only a lesser one) from 5 stacks of Maelstorm , but only for duals and 2h enhas.
- Extra wf proc when u using stormstrike
- lava lash for 2h weapons
- Greater wolf rune gives -1 sec cast for Ghost Wolf if u wearing dual or 2h weap, so it makes its instant with 2 talents and ur speed cant be lowes more then 100% in wolf form(like in wotlk)
-Stormbreaker set bonus(t2) also increacing off hand stormstrike damage

That chart means literally nothing, that’s all 4 hardmodes activated during week 2, warlocks essentially have infinite mana so it’s pretty obvious why they’re #1 by a mile as these fights can take a while.
Enhance is middle of the pack and a perfectly viable spec and ret paladin is braindead easy for some of the highest damage in the game with twisting.
I’m not a professional pve player, I play a lot of pvp, but I play pve, and I also devote quite a lot of time to the game. The investment in Enha, rotation, and your pve skill does not pay off. Your time investment means nothing, your DPS will be insignificant compared to other classes that only press 2-3 buttons. This is a problem
if you go look at actual sims & charts enhance are 13th overall on 120/60s fights, they are far from useless.
If you want a useless class Destruction(fire) warlock & frost mage(120s fights) are both hurting FAR more than enhancement shaman.
The “Destruction” warlock on your link is using destruction talents but shadow spells, not fire.
Met an Enh shaman in bg with might of menethil that took me to 20% hp on my r13 Mage every time he connected. I checked logs and his Stormstrike crit me for 3200 +wf proccs that was a total of about 6000 damage in an instant. Is that not enough damage?
3200 stormstrike crit? Even with full world buffs and zerking + sebaceous on you , I’m skeptical.
There are no modifiers on SS …, it’s just a white hit.
The most comical part of enh is that they turned Ret into what enh shaman dreamed of while trolling shaman with DW and 2h specialization rune.
here you go: h ttps://imgur.com/a/BUsGmyX
That was 6400 damage instantly. And for the 2 hours I was queuing, everytime I met him he always did between 5000-6500 damage in 1 sec. Maybe I’m just unlucky I guess. btw I’m not complaining about it. But this is alot of damage
Maybe the 150% damage increase from shoulder + T2 2set gets it there not sure. The odds on that happening are very low though, thats the rub with enh… its a slot machine unlike ret where it happens everytime you press your buttons unless there is someone to spam dispel you.
on a side note he has like 7khp inside a BG in that gear.

It’s because you’re spending too much time doing “unga bunga” and too little time doing “I unga therefore I bunga”.

Sorry bud, tank shamans killed all of Your melee spec due to the PvP abusers. RIP.
This is so stupid. Tank shamans should be in the game, but not ele tank shamans. I’m talking about the fact that a tank should remain a tank, and not have super protection, super healing and super damage (AoE and instant lava)
Your timeline is wrong. Tank shaman arose from the ashes of over nerfed enhancement.
The top shaman DPS in naxx is enhancement shaman 
He can’t get shaman to work so clearly something must be wrong with it!
Its week 3 of naxx, most people are still gearing up and parses are going to be skewed due to luck of the dice on winning gear. Plus, a lot of the top guilds funneled tier to their locks and tanks due to the lock 6 set being absolutely bonkers, especially in longer fights, same with the tank sets. Give it some time, once most people finish up their 6 sets and get some of the off pieces and weapons from naxx, it will even out.
Don’t need to tell me that you didnt play the previous phases. Enh shamans were using tank runes with dw and instant 0 mana cost healing while killing people in 2 seconds.
They have tried to balance tank shaman and they just can’t.
Thats the reason, if shaman tank never existed they would not break their brain balancing a class that can make 5 things at the same time because dw and 2h are another balance issue.
Current “tank shaman” are running shield mastery, WoE or both. The enhancement shaman from p2-3 got nerfed into oblivion in PvP so everyone swapped to some form of shield using tank spec.
So week 4 now, enha still trash
btw for pvp they need to give enha insta Healing Wave. Now enha is super squishi, on p2-3 enha have tank rune without shiled + 800 ap from rockbitter and healing power from AP, now just give us insta heal from 5 stacks of Maelstorm.
A 900hp instant heal won’t fix enh in pvp.
Don’t need to tell me that you never played Enhance DPS.
Way of Earth + Rockbiter was dominant in phase 1, but that got nerfed I believe after phase 2. Maelsrom Weapon got super nerfed after phase 3 (and you still had to melee attack 5 times to get the stacks going). No enh sham, even a geared one, was nuking people in 2 seconds. The damage was nice, but nowhere near what you’re stating.
I mained an Enh DPS shaman myself from phases 2-5, and it’s been a struggle since phase 4. I guess at 60 with full tier sets, they’re doing okay, but leveling one is difficult. It’s almost like leveling a warrior, where as you need the right gear to have an easier time of it.
I can’t speak for tank shamans or ele shamans really, but Enh DPS (DW) yes, I can speak on that from experience.
