5v5 Arena 5 Enhancement Shamans

[Mercbeast]

Throw a DK into the mix with 4 Enhance Shamans. HB will keep pretty much everyone perma snared allowing you to keep on target. Grip will also help you pull targets in for quicker DPS on target.

With the buffs to Enhance, some pretty significant boosts to damage it looks like to me, this team could be functional in 4.2

I do run 4 enh + 1 dk in arena and with only weapons + one other arena gear i'm at a 40% win ratio. Not extremely good, but not so bad either.

I made isboxer click thingys above me grid to help with MW5 Healing.

I made 5 click buttons

[ DK ] [ Shaman1 ] [ Shaman2 ] [ Shaman3 ] [ Shaman4 ]

Clicking one of them set the step of en mapped key to heal the one just cklicked as part of the shamans normal Isboxer spam.
Clicking another one will deselect the current and change the step of the mapped key to heal the new target.
Clicking the one that is already selected will disable automated MW5 Healing.

I also have a key from the default spam that tries to Hex Arena1-4 from shamman 1 to 4 when possible (i.e hex is off cooldown, MW5 is up or i'm standing still)

By the way besides stacking up Honor for 4.2, i,ve also stacked up full justice point. And was thinking of converting to honor when 4.2 hits. Just to boost the amount of gear i can get at launch. Anybody else do that?

Is anyone boxing Enhancement shamans in arena this season?

If so, I want to hear about your success!

I've been thinking about giving it a try.

Don't really see enhance has the staying power vs casters.

No root breaker, if rooted, the dps reduces to virtually none. You can only purge or shock. No gap closer, you can root them with frost shock, but still have to walk to them. DK's DG has a long CD. At blade edge, if you let them jump onto one of those poles, you can forget it.

Defense wise, once wolf/shamanistic rage wear off. The shaman is pretty much done for. So either you kill them with wolf up, or just straight up loss. If that team let you get the 2nd round of wolves, then they are not that good.

Unleash frost + DK frost snares = 70% snare which will allow you to get on target much easier. I don't think mages are any more of a problem for this team than they are for any other melee team. A good mage means a loss for you pretty much no matter what.

Priest healer is awesome for mass dispels, but yeah I hate mages.

My DKs are tons of fun and I was considering 4 enhance for my next pvp team? (I would do 4 and leave a spot for a buddy to sinlge heal in 5s)

Does anyone have an update on their enhance pvp experiences? I'd love to hear it before I commit. Cheers

Enhance is fun. It will never be like the Dk's. If you are looking for a change of pace give it a try. I can win games with my 5 enhance in arena. If you are planning on high ratings with them think again. They are great in the bg's, tol, and will earn you points in arena each week once you gear up.
