[WoW] Melee(Enhancement) shammies (various instances)

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Uldaman @ 42 ('http://www.vimeo.com/1021110')

Went a lot easier than I expected, in spite of being in greens and a couple of lowbie blues. Positioning really isn't a problem.

And OMGBBQ, grounding totems nerf the crap out of some of the most painful things. I love 'em. :)
================================================== =
Zul'Farrak @ 45 ('http://www.vimeo.com/1082933')

This was a fun run. Good loot here and there and some interesting boss encounters that make use of all your shammy tools. ;)
================================================== =
Maraudon at 50 ('http://www.vimeo.com/1083368')

This one was rough. The two-packs of giants and Princess are hard on the beaver.
================================================== =
Sunken Temple @ 50 ('http://files.filefront.com/Sunken+Temple+50/;10420475;/fileinfo.html')

Fairly easy except for Eranikus and a couple of cases where I didn't watch for adds or let a runner double-pull on me. :P
=================

So, unless things change, this is the last enhancement-spec vid I'll be posting as I'm now elemental. I may switch back for fun here and there after I get some enhancement-type gear but that's way out in the future.

Hope you guys enjoyed these.

[Mystrana]

LOL thats awesome WD :thumbsup: 8o :love:

[Jutto]

Haha very nice! Im gonna try enhancment at 70 that's for sure =).

[Tdog]

Nice. Never did Uldman on my orcs prior to me starting up my 3 new accounts. I'll have to stop in there with my new team once I get back up to that level. While DW windfury does in deed look fun, that 5x healing stream totem is ownage and is what is really catching my eye. Blood thrist and 1x healing totem helps but you really didn't seem to require much healing at all. Then again my guys are in zerker stance like 90% of the time :)

[Shaitan256]

Haha, That's uber , I gonna respec my Shaman before he Gets resto. In the moment I don't need a healer WF totem + Seal of light is Imba My healer is unemplyed or something heals a bit @ bosses and that's it.

I started to test it also, cause I don't wanted to do what everyone does, and i noticed it too, it isn't so hard to with positioning. but it's a bit confusing sometimes If you have casters also.

Keep it up, I'ts cool, I love it.

[Nifter]

Wow, awesome stuff.

Did you level as enhancement? If you did, would you say it is easier than elemental leveling in terms of speed and availability of gear?

Would a paladin + 4 enhancement shaman have the same luck in instances? Having light on a mob to keep health up for everyone in the party, + 3-4 healing stream totems.

[Jozhua]

very enjoyable vid! nice to see some melee instead of casting

I'll switch over sometime after about 58-60 when I get some outlands gear that lends itself better to the elemental builds.

As for a pally + 4 enhance shammies, that should work pretty good, too. Plus the added benefit of judging wisdom and getting some real mana return out of it instead of the pitiful amount that mana spring totem gives you.

Very nice. I started out elemental, but after reading your post, "...dual-wield+windfury is like driving an out-of-control hummer with a huge weed-eater attached to the front of it", I've been considering switching to enhancement. I've already been playing a mix of enhancement/elemental play style, and the more time I spend on them, the more I see the benefits of leveling enhancement. When I ding 34 tonight, I'll probably respec.

Any chance you could link your build?

Thanks!

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Did Zul'farrak last night at 45 with no issues (one guy died on Antu'sul because I slacked with heals).

Build is pretty much straight DPS enhancement. ('http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Magtheridon&n=Dondangelo')

[edit] If I can remember, I'll record a quickie vid of it at 47 tonight.

[Shaitan256]

GZ. and yeah it's realy a straight DPS build. Is one eventually going to have Imp. Stoneskin(would you show us your Final spec, I mean the spec you want to archieve)?

[Tight]

omg that is sick.. :D i have to try 4 warriors/enh shamans and a healer as well... looks like so much fun..

[BobGnarly]

So yeah, I just wanted to post and offer props for the fine selection in music. QR rules!! :thumbsup:

Oh yeah, and nice video too hehe

[Icetech]

that is awesome:) my shams just hit 40 last night, will try ulda around 44 prolly, i like to go in a little safer:) thinking of RFD tonight... last instance i did was SM library...

P.S. how do you have your healing setup? I seey our main hotbar is all healing...

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Healing is basically like so:
1 = all cast downranked lesser healing wave on main
2 = ditto for 2nd guy in group
3 = same for 3rd guy
4 = same for 4th guy
5 = same for last guy
6 = same downranked lesser healing wave but [target=focustarget] so I can heal someone else
7 = [target=focustarget] healing wave (for big heals on my target)

I finished up Sunken Temple with that group no sweat until the last boss, who pretty much spanked me. Not terribly surprised as he always hits hard on squishies (and DW shammies are squishy, no doubt).

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Added Zul'Farrak movie. ;) ST movie incoming when I get it done tonight.

[Shaitan256]

GZ. liked it;)

It's like 10 Hurricanes.

Maybe the next Background Music choice? Rock you like a Hurricane (love it on Guitar Hero 3^^)

Keep it Up.

[Tdog]

Loved the ZF video. Working on getting to 45 atm then I'll be on my way to try it out.

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Maraudon @ 50 vid added. May take a while to convert but you can still download the WMV while that's working. ;)

[Shaitan256]

I love to see your progress ;) and for you it's quite fun I guess? i hope.

Hope to see you rocking Heroics as soon as possible.
btw. cool music.

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Yeah, it's fun. Otherwise I wouldn't be doing it. ;)

Sadly, Sunken Temple will be the last enhancement-spec video I post. I'll continue making movies but they'll be Elemental stuff you've all seen before.

[Shaitan256]

[Ughmahedhurtz]

I may respec to enhancement as an experiment later but it will be after I gear them up for elemental play. Enhancement just plain sucks for PVP unless you're going up against another melee.

[Shaitan256]

Enhancement just plain sucks for PVP unless you're going up against another melee.100% Agree

Yeah and I guess HC with only Enhancement isn't really great at all. But just to know if it's possible would proof the Imbaness of a 5 shaman grp once more ;)

[Kaynin]

Really cool vids. My favorite class and spec too. <3

:thumbsup:


And I disagree. Having been a 1900+ rated 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5 enhancement shaman as a solo char, I can safely say they don't suck for PvP. But it is true enhancement shamans heavily rely on the synergies with paladins in 2v2 tho. My highest 2v2 without a paladin was a duo shaman team at 1750. :<

It wasn't meant to say that, Enhancement Shamans suck in PvP, but it's hard to handle more than 1 Melee class as a Multiboxer in PvP, because Follow Breaks @ auto attack.

[WoW-Melee] How the hell did I miss this one? Tauren have a longer melee range. ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=7776')

[Shaitan256]

Yeah that would be a choice, but 50 lvl's again? and it wouldn't really fix the fact that the follow breaks. but it ould make it easier to keep up with staying in the melee range. hm... the alternate Movement wold be some kind of Problem solve like a second WASD for everyone on UHJK or IJKL
just to kep up for short times.

just to kep up for short times.I was mostly kidding as I don't actually expect him to reroll. The Tauren melee range is damn nice in ZF right now that's for sure.

In PvP most kiters I wouldn't think would be smart enough/able to run directly away from you as that's the only way your followers would eventually be way the hell behind you, Frost shock would be your friend assuming you can get in range of them and even if you couldn't on your main, with a quick enough main swap your group should be running at full speed with just your previous main lagging behind for a bit and would put additonal strain on the person trying to kite you to now switch to the new main character.

Of course if you had say warriors you could intercept/hamstring that fool on a rotation like a certain multi-boxer does in ZF on those annoying ass runners in ever freaking pull :D This is all theorycraft of course as I've never done melee multiboxing PVP and tbh probably never will, not because I'm bad at PVP or because I don't want to try it out but just because I hate pvp peroid. Might be fun if people weren't so into stroking their epeen that people might actually be able to relax enough to enjoy it.

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Sunken Temple vid added to the list. As I mentioned, that's it for enhancement spec vids for a while.
