Thank you blizzard to finally realise, that enhancement is a melee spec, and not a melee elemental shaman (after 2 xpac).
Buffing melee skills is the first step into this.
Allow Stormstrike to be used with main hand only seems fun for rpg atm, wonder if is a start for 2 handed support or maybe shaman tank?
Crash lightning new animation sounds fun, cant wait to test it out.
yeah i dunno wtf they were smoking making enhance damage be 95% ele shaman spells
So bringing it back to the SS spam from bfa. Yikes
And not big fan of Prim wave becoming Fire nova 2
Each of their own, i personally rather spam ss than lb as a melee spec.
Yeah i know, you’ve been crying for months about “muh melee have to press LB” , because god forbid if we have battle-mage like spec everything must be range or fury warrior like melee. Can’t have something in between!
Def. the chances to enhancer would be nice to test out, after they made dk c tier.
I hope they make it a little different than BFA…
Sorry its just lazy design that 2 different dps role share most of the dmg spells.
Shocks could have more major role in enha as mid range spells, and we could have a more battle mage spec.
Also the “introduction” of the spec is nowhere near about spamming lb, but that just me.
Vanilla started as ss with shocks, tbc give dw and melee dmg. Wotlk introduced maelstrom weapon crap what noone asked for, removed in legion finally, and returned in sl since, as its horrible state with gutted melee skills. I m happy that melee skills gets more focus for a melee spec. God forbid it.
Sorry to rain in your parade but 100% on the main skills will not do that much. The main damage will still be spenders, with the only change being SS doing 10% instead of 5% damage for storm.
The real change will be the nerfs to the wolves, which will impact our overall damage in a big way, and the change to how hot hand LL interacts with totemic. Totemic might be back to the elementalist build, with a bigger impact on LL and fire/physical damage now that sundering proc the totem.
Encha shaman by definition should be a melee class not a CASTER!!!
It is a melee class. This is how battlemages work.
They play in melee in order to empower their spells for the big payout.
It is like saying BM should not be mobile because he is ranged. Sure you could put all their skills with cast time or just accept that they cover a niche playstyle.
I kinda like that EShaman is a Melee+ranged hybrid.
I like classes that are not over specified.
But yes, melee needed a buff. I just hope they dont neglect ranged.
One of the main reasons for the big Enhancement change back in Shadowlands was that a lot of people complained that the spec felt like playing fury warrior, only in blue and with maelstrom instead of rage. The spec has gone through insanely chaotic times. Now it’s in a stable state probably for the first time since I can remember. 
At this point can you stop trolling every thread related to shamans?
All dps classes (aug maybe the exception) is the same. Fill up a bar and spend it. Some classes also have pets.
I still pref legion version. Maintain weapon buffs and trash out malestrom weapon was amazing for me.
