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

[Kruschpakx4]

thinking about looking for a mistweaver for my next 5s session, the extra 5% crit buff and ring of peace would be a nice addition to my team but not sure how good this class is for 4 dps healing

I'm also planning to use the procc trinket against certain comps like double/triple melee where I have kill something quickly and need as much firepower as possible, as it proccs really early and almost simultaniously on all toons together with double dancing steel, I'll go for the oneshot within 20 seconds, use the engineering hand enchant together with it and have about the double amount of bonus agility as with the on use trinket, best case 53k ap with oneshot (even more with eb up), its around 150k damage per toon on resilience with one auto hit included and no crit luck, that would increase the oneshot potential quite a bit, also adds more dps

I just did a little testing with the [Assurance of Consequence] which grants 9317 agility, with that alone im up to 51k ap. Though the proc rate seems to either be real crap, or will not overlap with dancing steel. as the only time i got it up was when dancing steel was down (which is rare). Probably coincidence. Added benefit of dropping 30 seconds off ascendance cooldown. Though i find if i haven't won by CD reset it's usually gone bad anyway.

Wow. With both the 9k proc trinket and the on use (496) trinket and without dancing steel i can get to 65k ap. Sadly it is too random to have happen one more than one character. It sounds like the pvp proc trinket is doing better for predictability?

at that AP i was getting 305k mainhand crits (61% mastery at 65k ap) and 158k crit offhands. on a target dummy though, haha.

pve trinkets aren't worth it for the sake of 10% dmg reduction and they're getting scaled down to 512 in arena anyway

well looks like we see season 15 after all. Can not see any class changes. though more ilevel (540) could be fun for one shooting goes down to what they do with resi. Up it or leave it the same and only go off the few bits u get from gems/gear

[Kruschpakx4]

That entire resilience mechanic is bullshit anyway, the'll have to buff it somewhere to 82% and crit rating will go up to 40%, the more crit the better for us :-)

Just hope for some warrior nerfs and no changes with enhancement

[karr]

I would think solo enhance needs some buffs personally. Their self heals require a glyph and even with it really not great. Almost no cleave either, though has anyone played around with fire nova?

3minutes is a while to wait to be viable, again talking solo.

[Kruschpakx4]

people complain about enhance burst so I'd rather want them to not do anything with it

[ebony]

How do you play with your spells macio or you run them all when you can when there not not on cooldown, i been using the same way i ran my deathkights on a spam bar but my dps seems to lack a lot to the fact that a group thats really under geared can own the hell in to me in sec's i seem to have next to no dps at all at times.

[Kruschpakx4]

not sure if I understand that correctly but I'm not really trying to do a perfect dps rotation, I'm using a sl/ll/earthsock castsequence even though I'm aware of losing quite some dps but its always nice to have all 3 spells hitting within 3 seconds to have a higher burst peak, dps is not that important imo, I'm also using arena 1-4 earth and frost shocks sometimes to spread weakened blows and slow.

Broke 2100 today after 2 hours, I've played with pally again and we did surprisingly well against triple melee, although we sucked hard against double caster teams but somehow I didnt land a single oneshot against those double caster teams dont know what was going on but anyway I'm certain of breaking 2.2 next week

[karr]

Not sure what battlegroup you are on, but for mine 2300 is glad... that would be quite a feat!

This is the macrotoolkit macro i use.
#showtooltip stormstrike
/startattack
/castsequence reset=0 0,0,0,stormstrike
/castsequence reset=0 0,0,lava lash
/castsequence reset=0 0,unleash elements
/castsequence [mod:alt]lightning bolt;reset=5 flame shock,earth shock,earth shock

It was much longer, using trinkets and other CDs, so this is pretty barebones. I might throw in EB, but i kinda like having its own key.
