5v5 Arena 5 Enhancement Shamans

[pinotnoir]

This is my first week of running arena games with my enhancement shaman team. They are in full honor gear with the epic off hand in most of the video. I added the main hand later on in the video. It's pretty frustrating, but I had better success than I anticipated. I ended the day with slightly more losses than wins which was pretty good for the week. If I can average 50-50 win loss on this team I will be happy. By no means am I uber at arena. There are a lot of things that can be improved. Enjoy the video.

Damn insane survivablity. Amazing that you last that long in some matches and actually manage to kill them.

Small tip: changing targets if FTW. I know some spells needs stacking for optimal damage, but especially vs druid healers it should make getting a kill easier.

Really well done and +100 for the first enhancement shaman arena video!

You know, people have been playing shamans almost since day one of Multiboxing in WoW. Almost always doing ele spec. It's pretty amazing that you're the first one to actually post some success in arena with Enhancement. Keep the videos coming!

Wow, I am pleasantly surprised to see how well (great control) that team is working out. I always thought that would be a fail team, due to its weakness to roots. I am also amazed to see how much healing they do too. One tip though, that first druid you tired to kill but had to switch because he was getting crazy heals. I didn’t see you using purge on him, it works very well against resto druids. Oh, and that other 1 pally, 4 DKs boxer. I wouldn’t go after the pally first unless you think you can burst him down inside 1 GCD.

I am also amazed to see how few buttons you use. I have almost every button/hotkey filled up. LOL

Great video, its nice to see video's that show the pains of gearing/learning and not just the flawless parts.

I have purge in my cast sequence on all the shamans. Someone is casting it throughout the fight. I may use a dedicated button in addition for those damn druids. That dk boxer was our favorite helper here on the forums. There is much I can change to improve. Overall its really fun to play. Much more fun than 5 elementals IMO.

I dont understand why people have IWT on their main still, isnt that like really messy to control if u whant to be able to se how the fights going etc? Cant immagine it on high rating so to speak.

Well you beat me to the punch, I have been wanting to do 5 enhance but in pve not pvp... will likely fail horribly and ill throw a tank in there.

Good job though, nice to see different comps.

Thank you for posting the video, it is always fun to watch other boxers, especially non-standard comps.
And my Gnomettes insist they deserve lots of cookies... now that they're YouTube stars.



I definitely felt the pressure of your team.
With two shammies dead, after my bubble expired my Pally could not out-heal your DPS.

The other game between us was a little closer than the one in your video.
It is worth noting, my team has six or seven weeks of arena gear vs your enhance Shammies having just the off-handers.

With equal gear, it would be closer still.
Especially with the Conquest main-hand weapon, as getting Conquest 2-Handers was a major jump for the DK's.

Your team definitely has potential to grow, both as your gear increases and as you refine your hotkeys/macros and gain experience with them.

Next time I will focus your dps instead of the pally. As for the IWT main. I like guided missiles so I can focus my attention on spamming my keyboard. When I disable IWT on the main he loses out on dps because I am busy spamming. The auto guided missile targeting works best for me. If they have to move I control them manually. We already have to many things to worry about in pvp.

I see lots of survivability, but not too much burst. Not saying it's a bad thing.. just thought Enh put out more than that.

edit: Also change your tab to target only players so you dont accidentally get pets etc.
