I have 3 glads with different enh shamans. In season 6, 2 out of 5 enh took a glad with me. I have a million screenshots to prove my point. enh is just killed as a class in pvp.
enh has 2 major problems:
WF is dont work. Not only that, WF really can’t be proc in the game. EVEN IF WF rolls - it does an average of 800-1,300 damage MAX! Everything is a comparison?
VS Coil DK - 2-5k (40 rp) VS Cat RAKE - DOTS - 1K + Rip 1k-2.5k (crit). That is to say, CAT has 2 DOTS constantly 2 times more DMG than the 20% proc of enh! Wake up! WF with proc < random dot. And I’m talking about one tick. Not sumar damage. Ambush Rogue - 5k. Mortal wars (with -50% heal) + Overpower 3k±. Even Judj and Exs Pals - its 3-4.5k dmg. And I’m not talking about the casters. Chimera Hunters 3.5-5k
Shocks shaman 1k dmg. Zero crit. Which is to say. You have skills that are 100% clickable at any given moment. They hit 3 times harder than the strongest enh skill, which only has a 20% chance of hitting you.
Stormstrike? 800 dmg. IT’S NOT DAMAGE TO THE LATES, IT’S DAMAGE TO THE CLOTHS. The numbers can still be reduced by a factor of 2.
Can you explain why enh as a class has 3 times less damage than the others? Ah yes. He’s got PURGE! - Which DOESN’T WORK! A million resistances. A million. Restor druid - Anticlass. And that’s your reality and that’s your game. That a class that has purge 2 buffs - CANNOT do anything against a Heal that heal HOTS. Because purge doesn’t work!
I realize that in 2008 Bloodlust and Wolfs were imba, but it’s 2023 and people are using Keys to Keyboard! Now the rogue with Dance killing the shaman in SHAMANISTIC! Feral does 80% dmg without a bers in 6 seconds! Ele have 100% crit and 1 buttoms - 5k dmg.
BUT enh does 1k damage to WF. At least he has a purge that doesn’t work!
BALANCED Even in PVE, you havent enh. YOU HAVE SPELLenh. Look at the problem.
You’re welcome. It’s not normal. Give an enh life!
Biggest issue with Enhance from a PvP PoV is that the spec just has no buttons to press.
Whether they win or lose, Enhance damage breakdown is almost always like 85% Melee/Windfury Attack/Wolf Melee. Maybe there’s a couple thousand Shock damage here or there, likewise with Stormstrike.
The spec’s entire gameplan is to run at a guy and right click while spamming Purge and Tremor Totem.
Just play it in an unga-bunga comp alongside a BM Hunter or an Arms Warrior and bind Purge to a foot pedal, it works well enough in its niche.
I remember in 3s I played with Turbo on 2500rating. My war couldn’t reach priest and I hit the priest. He removed hero from me. Priest didnt heal himself for 10 seconds and healed the rogue my war was on. He was still on 30% xD 0 pressure by me in full BiS on clothie.
The problem is Purge is unreliable. So they survive a lot actually with 1 decent peel. Either way the top Turbo team is 2650 atm so that says a lot and in S8 enhas become even more weaker.
Yeah but it’s not like the spec has anything else to press other than Purge, which was part of my point. Stormstrike damage is negligible and only really serves to help stack Maelstrom Weapon. If I were a PvP-minded Enhancement player, I’d be asking for actual things to do rather than to just right click harder.
It’s a zug spec like BM, which offers very little outside of ape pressure during CDs and then falls off a cliff. Damage buffs won’t solve that. Every time I watch an Enhancement Shaman (although Resto and Ele both do it too) run around spamming Tremor Totem for 8 gcds in a row I die a little inside.
So they survive a lot actually with 1 decent peel. Either way the top Turbo team is 2650 atm so that says a lot and in S8 enhas become even more weaker.
