Enhancement is like demonology warlock. Developers don’t like to play with some of the spec. So they don’t want to spend time on accually developing them. When they become “OP” in a way, they see it as a gimmick and nerf it to the ground so their more “eloborate” spec can shine like they are supposed to.
If you came here to whine about or threaten not to play that spec (ie: enhancement), I’m sure their inner response is like: “Damn right moron, play a real spec!”
This is their game and they don’t want to spend time on some of it’s aspects. I can’t blame them for it. If you want to play such class, give up hope of being FOTM. Revel in the underdog fantasy and you will have more fun.

I’m all for playing underdog specs, but enhance is worse than an underdog. In PvP it’s almost unplayable. It’s not too bad in PvE, but we had a fully geared enhance in a group the other day and the tank was fighting him for third spot in DPS. The only time he shot up was when his trinkets were off cooldown. Yeah, he only managed to pull some numbers thanks to abilities not even available in the Shaman spellbook. That’s a flaw in my opinion.
They need adjusting.

I don’t wanna be “whinning ol’ good days weeper” but why they changed enhancement after cataclysm i don’t know, this spec looks like developed for retard players, with worst ever animations. From my favourite in cata it became worst now.
Biggest mystery is: Why they are changing things that are excellent and replacing them with sh*t?
I actually don’t mind the animations. They look powerful, but they just don’t feel like it. I pop my cooldowns, slam those hammers down charged with lightning… and the enemies health bar barely moves.
And for a melee spec, they have very little defense, which is probably one of my biggest gripes.
I miss my rng windfury animation with tornado around me and 5 different damage points on my screen, that was powerful, builder > spender rotations are boring, crappy and most hate them.
To be honest, dps wise in pve, i think it’s not bad. I consider my guild mates around my “dedication range” for mythic progress. I’m usually in top 5 during progress fights (damn weapon still didn’t drop).
While i can’t complain about numbers, the way we deal it feels wrong and unsatisfactory. Like explained in many many posts in these forums, playstyle is while being easy, unforgiving and hard to execute. Thus giving an image of enhancement something like steamedhams proposed. People don’t wanna invite me to mythics even when i have better gear than them. Cus they don’t know ill do at least %15-20 more damage than them.
Enhancement is hard to invest into (like most of specs) and people who accually do it doesn’t feel rewarded enough for their efforts so they just play dh or rogue.
All this talk is for pve ofc. Pvp requires burst damage and kiting-chasing and survivability. Every single ability of enhancement is designed to divert it from burst (except ascendance). It’s literally impossible to be competative in pvp for obvious reasons.
Well as for animations, if Stormstrike would lookd like Crush Lightning, when you call lightning from the sky which empowers your weapons and then striking opponents that would be better.

Not trying to sound disrespectful OP, but if you don’t like the animations or how the spec plays these days, why level an enhancement shaman? Just pick something else and be happy.
