Any opinions? :D Planning to dual box two shamans and I'm new to this ! Remembered back in the day what a pain elemental leveling was so I figured 2 enhancement shaman? Doesn't seem much of a bad idea does it for leveling 1-80?

Elemental is still way to go. Dual makes good stuff better and lowers the mana problems. aim and 2 LBx2 will kil most mobs at level. By the time you taget the next mana bar is full

My x2 shamans team just reached level 80 a couples days ago. That was a very nice experience overall, I've had no trouble leveling them excepting a few group quests in Dragonblight I couldn't solo (the mobs were hitting too hard for me to heal while dpsing them fast enough) . Wind shear x2 allows you to prevent most casters from ever casting anything, there are enough choices of totems to not duplicate them in most situations.

I could join random dongeons during the leveling course, as DPSx2, and I enjoyed the experience a lot. No problem whatsoever even when I had to move out of things. Now I like my team so much I'm looking forward to gear them a little through random heroics, maybe as dps+healer if I can set up good macros.

The only weak aspect I can think of is that it doesn't seem a good combo for pvp purposes, but I really don't excel at that so I may be wrong.

I'm rolling around with 4x elemental shammies - everything I fight dies from either the first round of lightning bolts or 1 round of lightning and then follow it up with a shock. With only 2 characters, I imagine that you'd need to do LB + shock all the time, and maybe a couple of melee swings to finish things off, but it should be very quick.

Enhance is fabulous if you're solo, but why bother getting up close and personal when you can take almost anything out before it can even react to you?

With two shamies, most mobs die before they can melee hit you if you care to pull them from within the distance limit. Since most mobs don't hit very hard, it's not a big deal if they hit once or twice before dying :D As I said, casters are never an issue either. If I was into 4x boxing, I would definitively have gone your way, 4 shammies together must be twice the fun than 2!

Yea, because I won't dungeon unless I have quest for it as I personally enjoy questing alot more (yes! I'm outa my mind!)
I was thinking of two enhance shaman is pretty much because of less squishyness when dealing with group quest and I know how you guys say 4x shaman ele things fall over but I'm only doing 2, and if I'm doing an elite quest, its not gunna look quite pretty >"< So just wondering if enhance would be better choice? I would prefer both of them be same spec as I am new I rather stick to same spec and more or less same keybind if you know what I mean :D

I'd go enhance for 2 personally. Wolves will help tremendously. I remember at the END of BC i leveled an enhance shaman and wolves let me solo every elite quest from 60 to 70 with little to no probem (minus durn and RoB)

Over the past year I have leveled 2 of everything to at least 60. I recently just got my enhance shamans to 80 and I have to say they were the most fun I've had with any class. I dual specced one resto and the other elemental and am now going through heroics. I understand when folks say to use 2 elemental, as my mages and boomkins would always kill a mob just before it got to them. All a matter of play style I guess.

activate click to move
add a button for interact with target
hit that after your "start attack" type thing and it will run to it and smack it.

Wouldn't that need mouse click to be sent which is not possible with keyclone >"<
Can you guide me on the "button for interact with target" please :) Cuz I'm both dualbox noob & comp noob!
I'm only good in PvE resto druid healing :P
