5 Enhancement Shamans

[Curryman]

since shaman tanks are a thing in vanilla you wont have much trouble with 5 enhnace, 1h shield or 2h depends on which dungeon, we dont really know all the exact numbers but shamans are quite tanky with anticipation and mail even without a shield ... since you will most likely get more 1h weapons anyway you can play around with using frost shock on the 2h shammys and max rank earth shock on the 1h shield shamans to maintain aggro on them. And yes healing stream stacks. One thing that is also to consider is that stormstrike debuff doesnt stack so you might want to rotate with stormstrike + 2x shocks. Build wise i would stay in the enhance tree and at lvl 53 respec enhance/resto for 3% hit on melee/spell. You can probably also play around with giving 1-2 shaman all the spellhit/crit gear and go 21/30/0 or ele/resto on them and let them eat all the stormstrike buffs. If you ignore mana reg problems inbetween fights you will certainly have a lot of fun with that comp anyway (maybe make good friends with mages).

Regarding aoe, if i remember correctly fire nova had a small aggro radius so if you drop them right after the pull with lightning bolt mobs should ignore them, I'm quite sure firenova totem intial aggro generate more aggro than a stoneclaw tick, the good thing is the aggro from its damage isn't shared with the shaman so they will proceed to hit stoneclaw until you attack them.

Thanks for the insight. I was thinking about paying a mage to make water below the cost of vendor water, but it might be tough to find a mage that wants to sit and make 25 stacks haha. Yes regardless of the mana issues, it could be fun.

for what? vanilla enhance is boring af in raids because it does no damage and in melee groups you spend 90% of your time with switching between wf and grace totem ... grind alterac exaltet and have dungeon bis gear, farm some free action potions, you'll oneshot t3 cloth with 1 lucky wf procc thats where the fun is

Agreed, ignoring raiding entirely and focusing on some personal goals sounds like fun. I was mostly thinking multiboxing in raids in general (regardless of comp) might be tough for others to accommodate.
