[quote='Narezza',index.php?page=Thread&postID=90122 #post90122]So, Im working on a shammy team to start my MB career, and I am planning on running instances as I level. Whats the common practice for speccing? Does everyone go elemental for ease of use, and just take the damage, or do you put a main into enhance to 'tank' for the group?

[b]All go elemental and learn how to kite with earthbind & stoneclaw totems, blasting away with lightning bolt / chain lightning / frost shock.[/b] You *can* spec 1 as resto if you need a dedicated healer later on, but the 5x elemental kite method should get you far.. especially when you hit 50 and get totem of wrath. +15% hit and +15% crit is a ton of extra dps.[/quote]In the context of leveling, this is patently false. Check out [url='http://www.vimeo.com/user404642/videos']my vids[/url] for what 5x enhance shammies looks like in instances. I found this much easier to do than elemental, primarily because itemization for elemental sucks big hairy donkey balls until you hit outlands, IMO.

I leveled up to 53 as enhancement and then switched to elemental once I had a few pieces of +int chainmail and the talents to actually make it work halfway decent. Once I switched, I didn't bother with instances again until I hit outlands (just straight quested).

Bottom line, though, is do whatever is fun for YOU.
