[Enhancement Shamans] Preperation for 5v5, macros, talent build and other partly useful stuff

[zenga]

Was kind of surprised about buffing windfury. I thought they were trying to tone down burst.

I can't remember any damage buffs for pvp reasons since I started playing. Definitely not in hotfixes. Only can recall the opposite, i.e. nerfs for pvp reasons. Point being, those tweaks are mainly based on pve. so pvp burst isn't their main concern.

I just set up my 5 person team (4 enhancement and one protadin (for questing)). I used alot pf the ideas from this thread for it and with my crappy iLvl 400 or so gear have manage to get my party wide DPS to around 20K each with crappy green weapons. I will probably start grinding some AV and isle soon for some honor gear or pay some one for carrying for a win. In the off time I have been hitting the new content and have managed to get some plate an mail gear to update my toons to some PVE 497 gear, still have a long way to go but had to get started somewhere. My ascendance macro is hanging up on the slot 13 an 14 trinkets as I have crappy green questing trinkets as opposed to buff trinkets.

I am currently running WF on main hand and FT on off hand, is that what the basic plan is? I hate to admit it I mostly played elemental or resto before in big "The Zerg" AV, Isle and FTH events so getting into enhancement has taken some practice. On a different but related issue I have my 4th shaman and 5th toon always lagging behind on DPS even though it is set up 100% identical to the rest. Any ideas or is it probably just latency forwarding the commands through ISBoxer and Jamba you all think?

yes wf/ft is the way to go now, unless you play with unleash fury (which is the worst of the 3 talents)

for gearing get 4p set bonus first and then double trinket for the extra 10% damage reduce

beeing different in dps isnt uncommon since there is a lot of rng aside from crit with enhance (wf and eote proccs/eb buff)

I did some 2s today to cap points on second shaman team and I have to say primal elementalist feels stronger in 2s but I'd say eb is better in 5s, still didnt play any 5s because my pally didnt show up today, not sure about taking a druid now they seem to be weak according to aj. I hope I can do some 5s tomorrow..

In regards of 2s, just leave vs every heal x (except heal mage) and enjoy 100% win vs a majority of double dps comps, double enhance seems to own every two dps comp now since I cant get killed in rogue opener anymore (ok 1700 mmr but still)

did my 1st arena game last night and wow they are really strong lots of healing as well that is nice. i hope to get some more games done when am feeling better.

some groups i won
warrior/warrior
rouge/rouge
ele/hunter
dk/rouge

lost a ech/ech and most games with a healer.

Going to try and start farming some gear for weapons this weekend and hopefully will be in arena next weekend with the team. Nice work on the accomplishment.

congrats havent done any 5s yet because eu queue sucks this week somehow had to wait 5+min for 2v2 invite yesterday and didnt get a 5s invite after 15 min so again 5s delayed to some other day, but as diablous said "you can only delay the inevitable"

cant wait to get weps then 100-0 oneshots should just work out fine, surviving rogue openers without having to panic oneshot and immortality vs dotcleave teams will also be a big deal this season

Ya I managed to win 2healer groups so when I see a healer I just take it as am not going to win if it lasts to long I let them win or leave. Still going to lose anyway. Talked to a gm about ques last night they said there working on it as its a little bugged. asked about follow in bg's said good things come to them that wait.

Well even with my Krushpak-lite set up and sucky gear managed to eek out a few 4 wins today before I kept getting into the same team (UH DK, Ele Shammy, Warrior, HPally, Disc Priest). Will try for more later. Did start buying some S14 Honor and hopefully soon will be able to get some conquest gear. Rating only around 384 for now but I am on the boards this season at least, not bad considering I quit playing in S12 on my paladin and never even tried it with my newly 90 enhancement shammies. In the mean time I did grab the 10000 coin 497 weapons off the isle (only 1 each at this point so still need a offhand), missing the PVP power but higher DPS weapons were better than the blue and green ones I had.

where do you get those weapons from? only weapons I seem to be able to find on the isle are 476 ones

nice, checked 2s queue again today and seems it got fixed so I'll try some 5s tomorrow hopefully, but I think without the new weapons I'll struggle on 2k+ so I'll play my former mainteam with 1500 mmr at first to get some impressions
