Prelude to Level 85 PVP Enhancement Shaman Team

[pinotnoir]

My 5 shamans were in stasis on Magtheridon. I decided to level them up to get some enhancement gear. At level 81 I finally equiped nearly all slots with enhancement gear. Today I worked out some basic macros and keymap setups for them. This team may be really fun at 85. I love my death knight team. This reminds me of them without the death grip.

Nice, man.

With all those Ghost Wolves you could have a sled team for the Iditarod.

Edit: Nevermind... you need 12 - 16 dogs for a sled team.

It's nice to see different team compositions, rather than everyone running nearly the same teams.

I'm a little unfamiliar with Enhance Shammies.
How many of your moves are AoE/Cleave?

Are 5 minute Fire Elementals worthwhile for non-casters?

You'll have 5x Hex, usable on anyone.
A full complement of totems.
I really like 5x Tremor Totem on round-robin, as it acts as an extra five (raid-wide) trinkets vs Fear/Charm/Sleep effects.

Ghost Wolves is going to be huge burst.

Everyone can rez.
Everyone can ankh.
5x Healing Stream should be fairly significant healing.. is that raid wide or party wide?

I hated shaman until i switched one to enhancement. Once I got all enh gear it did way more damage than when it was elemental. Their totems help the other melee and they can recover you from a wipe.

The macro I have right now puts down a magma and cast nova. It's timed so I should always get a magma down before it expires. I was thinking of making a macro in isboxer like my mind freeze for wind shear round robin. It will lower dps but would be casting interrupts rotating through 5 shamans. That would be nice in pvp. I have the tremor round robin setup and tested that out in AB yesterday. My lvl 81 guys with 40k health were ripping through lvl 84's with 85k health like a hot knife through butter. The stoneclaw totem gives me a shield so I can drop that with all of them before a fight to give myself the shield. At this point I figure my healing would use my mw x 5 or x whatever number is up. If I have click healing I could have them all chain heal. Or I can macro in a chain heal every 10 seconds or something. These guys have lots of options. I love how fast they kill stuff verses standing there waiting for cast to launch. Melee is a blast!

The Tremor vs Fear/Sleep/Charm is great, and it is raid-wide so you don't care if your team is in three different groups in an IoC or AV.

How much healing do you get from 5x Healing Stream Totem?
I would probably have one shammy glyph that for the resistance to Fire/Frost/Nature.
Is Healing Stream for the raid, or just the group?
I seem to recall Mana Spring did not stack with itself.

The Wind Shear would be exactly like the Mind Freeze.
Or alternatively you could have it target arena frames, if you'll do arena.
Or possibly target your focus.
Or maybe a macro for each, and switch them in as you need one or the other.

I really like 5 minute Fire Elementals.
Do they hit for so much, or does it scale off of spell power?

This looks like great fun, keep us updated!

I've got 4 enhance 1 holy pally at 85, and its getting pretty fun

[entertheshaman]

i have 3 enhancement at 80.

i just set them up with the pseudo priority system i saw on mogs Dks with the wind shear like mind freeze.

the only thing i cant work out is what to do with maelstrom procs. you mentioned macroing them to cast a chain heal every 10 seconds. That might work? how would you do that? anyone come up an answer? for pvp i tried simply having chain heal on my psuedo priority button mash and because they move all the time they just cast it when it is up. but sometimes a player will just stand there and they wont run through and try to cast chain heal wihtout procs so its annoying.

[Mokoi]

can you just make your chain heal button

/cast Chain Heal (Rank X)
/stopcasting

that should make it so you don't cast if its not instant, right?
