Shaman DPS Enhancement 1.12 (Classic)

[Damien 1,514]

This thread is for feedback concerning our Enhancement Shaman DPS guide.

 

[Guest Dan]

Reincarnation has a 1 hour cd not 30 minutes

[Seksi 208]

That's a typo, thanks for pointing it out, will fix it today along the other improvements to the guide I'm already in middle of, stay posted! ? 

[CaperfinWoW 21]

Might want to mention the spellhancement shaman meta that is quite popular in the end game portions of the game.

[Guest Fiyakrawtch]

You should include something about what level enhancement shamans can start to utilize dual wielding (the level they can learn it at in classic).

[Seksi 208]

Shamans can never dual-wield in Classic ? wait for Burning Crusade to come out! ?

bracer enchant (mana regen) will be available only p5.

which is the one to go for now? str? int?

[Guest Zagara1]

The crystal of zin-malor is alliance only...

 

so much of this guide is wrong its absurd. You basically copy pasted a terrible wowhead guide.

this needs a revamp/update. most players doin mc/ony since a while, how comes there is still only the (dabatable) pre-bis listing

[Seksi 208]

Been super busy in the past few days, updating this right now.

[Totano 0]

still needs a non - preraid bis section ?

according to many (including the official wow classic shaman channel spreadsheet) rapidity enchant is more effective than voracity agi/strength)

skyfury helm > than both backwood helm and crown of destruction

True, but its not available yet ? instead you get Helm of Latent Power, which has no strength or any melee stats, really.

True, forgot to update this when Dire Maul released, the changes will be live soon, thanks!

[Guest Crest]

On the totem weaving raid BiS Gizzlock's hypertech buckler is listed as the best, despite malistar's defender having strictly better stats.

[Seksi 208]

Nice catch, will fix this alongside the update for BWL patch and the new BiS list!

[Guest Nobody]

The advanced reading link is broken.

[Guest Kukukachoo]

You might want to add the Abyssal Templar, Dukes, and Lords loot list.

Abyssal Mail Legguards / Abyssal Leather Leggings ... Of Striking: 1% Crit, +15 str, +15 agi, +15 stam is better than Devilsaur Leggings.

Abyssal Mail Pauldrons / Abyssal Leather Shoulders ... Of Striking: 1% Hit, +13 str, +13 agi, +13 stam is 1 less hit but better than Truestrike Shoulders.

Also, if your goal is to keep nightfall procs up, atk speed enchant on gloves, arcanum of rapidity on legs and helm, and iron counterweight on nightfall, also using juju flurry from frostsaber e'ko. One note about the juju flurry is that it works the same way as seal of the crusader, in that it increases atk speed, but deals less damage per hit.

Lastly, Zulian Tiger Cloak from ZG is on par or better than Deathguard's cloak especially if you need the additional 1% hit, and may be easier to obtain.

[Seksi 208]

Great suggestions, added all of them (except for the Leather parts which people can get if they drop instead of the Mail ones but same sources so if you are farming for the Abyssal Mail you will find the Leather as well naturally), thanks!

update says Phase 6 BiS list was added on Nov. 2nd, it doesn't seem to be listed. is it hidden till p6 goes live or maybe a publishing issue?

Good point, was supposed to show up below the current Phase 5 BiS list just like in the Healing Shaman guide. Will look into this, thanks!

[Guest Toron]

just to clarify, I see the Frost resist section, but nothing on P6 bis outside of FR. Thanks!

Should be seeable now, just tested ?
