Hex Boxing dk group with echancement Shammy

[Ualaa]

What does an Enhance Shammy add, that a DK does not?
What are the advantages or the disadvantages?

Hex seems to be a large advantage.
Purge cannot hurt to have as an option.
Tremor, as an extra party-wide trinket vs Fear/Charm/Sleep.

A lot of the buffs are overlapping.
You could glyph Healing Stream, for Fire/Frost/Nature resist, if your healer was not a Paladin.
But Horn of Winter and Icy Talons, are the same as the Str/Agi totem and the Haste totem.

Does Enhance do as much damage as a Frost DK.
I mean once they are geared.

You lose a Death Grip, a Hungering Cold.
The single target is probably pretty good.
Do you have anything like Howling Blast at range?

Curious on your thoughts, as there has to be enough incentive for you to experiment with this.

i would not think they hit as much or even close as the dk's can hit peeks of 28750dps on dummnys

You lose a Death Grip, a Hungering Cold.

Yes

The single target is probably pretty good.

They got some good AoE changes now

Do you have anything like Howling Blast at range?

ins cast lighting blot but thats about it if its got a buff stacked

Ill keep this post updated more as i gear them and play them more though the weeks
to be fair this is olny the 6th char i can not see it being used much outside of av/ioc/worldpvp
and might even level up a 5th dk but we see how it goes

I may add a hex round robin key for my shaman team. I have been doing some pvp with them at 85 and so far I have ignored hex.
