Hi yall,
What do you think of enh shammy rn? Do you think its good? Is it fun? Lmk your opinion
Pve - the best, most fun class. Even if not competative sometimes (historicly).
Pvp - the absolute worst ever. People place enhancement under tanks @ tier lists sometimes.

I am having absolute blast with it. Last time i had so much fun with Enha, was back in Cata.
Sucks hard with all those gcds. Nothing is fluid. Ascendance procs over hot hand, frost weapon cd on both of those which mandates to use or delay the next cd etc etc.

it’s feels terrible we don’t have damage, no cc and we can’t do anything against root the only the thing that is good is our survavibility which at this moment feels great but the rest is trash
Fun things that make pve engaging, turns pvp into a nightmare.
Imo even pve is quite overwhelming atm for enhancement. We hit like 4 gcd with ultra low damage. Even after we ramp up things, it still falls to rng to get anything out. All this while our expected up time on target is %100.
The moment you are on target, u have to ramp up. The moment target gets away from you, your damage is basicly zero. There is no other spec like this in the game. All tax no reward.
On top of it. Conflicting priorities, missed and overwritten procs kinda burns your brain with micro sadnesses even during pve. One moment you have nothing, one moment all your procs come online and you have to be on target, reacting according to your wolf types…
Also -insane- button bloat like no other.

No it has extreme button bloat still that makes playing shaman in general unfun and extreme chore.

I think this was pretty well written and filled most issues. For pvp it feels awkward as hell (not that I’ve tried it a lot though), pve fits better ofc.
I dislike mostly the button bloat ofc, so many buttons that seemingly don’t do enough damage and/or overall dope stuff.
And I might be slightly alone in this but I don’t like Maelstrom Weapon at all, it feels awful to count stacks literally constantly through battle. And since it’s the most efficient damage dealing ability you have, it feels really bad to overlap stacks. And as a melee to have lightning bolt etc. as your top damage just doesn’t feel very good to me either.
But the archetype is very cool, Stormstrike and Windfury are GOATs when it comes to spells I like. Would be nice with less build-up spells though and not as many buttons all over the place.
And if Crash Lightning could be a little bit more similar to Thunder Clap in reach and visibility that’d be cool.
I used to love it but i absoloutley hate it now. Its not fun to have so many abilities to track but the biggest problem for me is that it doesn’t feel rewarding. It doesn’t feel like there are any cool moment in the rotation. all the animations are crap in melee. elemental blast seems to be a focal point but it clashes with priomordial wave and I cant stand frost shock being such a big thing.

I only play it in PvE. Fun class with good build variety and interesting rotations.

I find hero talents kinda boring, atleast compared to some other classes.
Stormbringer. 1 more lightning bolt with aoe radius.
Totemic. Totem which do x dmg in range.
But you have to admit the visual of Tempest is insane… That was a good job indeed.
Not to mention the sound effect… chills

I have been playing main spec enhancement since tbc when it became raid viable. In the wintern and in the summer, in buffs and nerfs , always have been enhancement shaman main.
I am sad the new ascendance looks are like a one colored face clown…
Annoyed that they keep nerfing things, making the hero talents uninteresting visually and game mechanism wise. I can write so much more here but who will reply or actually think over and rediscuss or rework these? noone…
Will i keep playing enhancement shaman casually (being dad and jobs et c) still even with all the problems in every expansion? yes ofc. 
Have to agree there. Too much bloat just to make it feel “busy”? Im not sure what’s the logic behind the rotation.

To be honest a lot at the moment.

MSW + wolves are too op atm, it’s like the only way to play.
I hope the totemic rework lifts up a somewhat different playstyle than MSW spam. Otherwise I’ll just stick to ele I think.
And hopefully not have a rotation of 1,000 buttons D;

I hope we will never have to play totemic because the totems are probably the most outdated mechainc this game has. Imagine playing melee dps on heavy movement fights and having a stacionary totem to track as your main source of damage.
I have absolutely no issues with the recent wolves nerfs as long as we are in pair with other dps classes.
HOWEVER it’s kinda funny for me that when we desperately needed dps buffs (in WoD and BFA) Blizz explained they need to wait for another expansion xD. And as resoult we were almost unplayable for whole 2 expansions. On the other hand when we are one of the best dps, they are able to nerf us within 2 weeks
