4x Enhancement arena?

[asonimie]

Been testing it for a few days now, and sorry guys it does'nt work very well.

With no MS and lousy burst, 1 healer can outheal full cooldowns (minus heroism). I tested against a druid in tree form.... took me about 30 seconds to finally outdps his healing and kill him. All I can say is I am REALLY surprised how lousy the dmg is... and I believe strongly it will NOT be competitive at higher than 1600 or so.

Edit: On a better note, they FINALLY FIXED the battleground group shifting. You can now move people amongst groups already containing players. Currently in 3.2 you can only move BG members to an empty untouched group slot.

Aelli and i had a long discussion about this setup and came to the conclusion it wouldnt work either. Im above 1800 and had 2200+ arena points. was so close to buying the axes to try but then i thought how the hell am i going to get out of roots. a good mage will keep you in place all damn day. If im correct earthbind only works on snares right? 8 Dogs seems awesome but to what extent. Thanks for confirming now i wont waste arena points on that setup!

even with the hounds?

IIRC enh shammys did have a MS during a PTR? Maybe you could see it return.

Even with hounds. I know I was truly shocked, after playing my rogues for 2 days who can 2 shot anyone who isn't prot specd. I was saving points for enhancement gear also, but I'm glad I tested this. DON'T BUY IT. Will not work as is.

Were you spam purging the HoTs? because I don't see how he could heal without kiting you completely. Should also try it on other healers as well. I bet you global priests without pain suppression up, and rip through them quickly anyway when they do.

Maybe pve would be better for quad enhance!

[heyaz]

i don't understand how that cuold not work... enh shaman solo just rip things apart. strange how some things just don't work 4x.

Good thing, I almost starting buying enh gear tonight because they're all honor capped
guess I'm getting gems or resto stuff

Theorycrafting, I'd think an Enhancement would add a ton to a melee team.
The same as an Elemental boosts the crap out of casters.

Of course, in practice... mixed teams are rarely as good as the sum of their parts, at least in arena.
