Well, being inspired kruschpakx and his amazing ability to pew pew, i started my own 4 enhance shaman. I have experience with ele shaman back in BC days, but it didnt last long, melee teams looked a lot of fun, indeed that was true.

So i started this about a week before thanksgiving, then bought mop on black friday for the 3 non upgraded teams. now almost a month later they are all 90 (two weeks now) and almost fully 522 griev geared. They all sit around the 450k mark in hp, but are missing many small pieces that are filled with isle 496 gear.

I will be maintaining this thread with videos and thoughts, as well as random tidbits and conversation.

My strat for 5s is very much like kruschpakx, as i am inspired by his success, though a little different.

Key differences are i use earthgrab totem on 2 toons, one will put down earth grab, the other capictor totem, one windwalk, one stormlash. I try to do this to stun a few people while trapped by the grab, as i am not using totemic projection, this makes it easier to get a stun. i have this button mirrored with the other set so i have essentially two chances at this.

I use the talent for double of the same totem up, with earth ele and other general sloppiness, i like not canceling a totem i want.

I also do not use rushing streams, instead Ancestral guidance in a macro combined with shamanistic rage, this is my wall macro and i can generally heal up full with this, very very effective with chain heal and ascendence, though the cooldown is a bit long. I just can't remember to put down healing stream.

I do like echo of the elements with chain heal, but the instant (and reliable) hex is more important, especially combined with primal elemental stun for trinket forcing.


I have not done a lot of 5s, rather i have been just capping my mid season catchup (over 100games each) by dual boxing 2s. So that in mind, i will leave you with a video of me capping 2s dualboxing. Note that there are two different sets of toons in the videos, and initially i TANKED my mmr while learning, so it's been a slow climb up since.

Here is my first video. No fancy editing, as i don't know how and it's 4am. Note that this is all at very low mmr. The highest team i faced (though not sure if recorded) was 1600, most were much much lower. This is not a check my skill video, more just a proof of concept and entertainment.
