What is the highest Shaman DPS you've seen in Wotlk? (ICC25 DBS?)
Which do you think tends to have better dps, Enhancement or Elemental?
Hum, in my oooooooooooooooooold memories, i think that Ele was better, but i'm not sure
Enhancement wins that battle.
Very , very close. Comes down to the skill level of enhance/ele, but if you are talking about both played perfectly to perfect situations, enhance outdoes ele. Not by much though.
Enhancement slightly tops the DPS of Elemental, but it is more harder to do so (as it's a much more difficult DPS role - those most difficult, infact). If you haven't done lots of research about your class, or don't have low MS/Latency or High FPS, Elemental will probably do more DPS for you.
Remember, Shaman's are a very supportive class, your role isn't to be doing the DPS of Ret Paladins, Frost DKs and Fury Warriors.
elemental out dps enhancement, and ppl loves elemental shamans.
Elem better than enhance? I bet you have never seen a good enhance.

That's some nice dps! What rotation/priority do you use? Are you full BiS?
I totally Disagree with that. Enhancement has the potential to outdps Elemental its just that Enhancement has harder rotation/priority and a very item dependent spec but once an enhancement shaman got BiS gears played by a skilled player, I'm quite sure he can outdps an Elemental.Quote:

The priority is same as everything you see in the guides. Im near bis only missing waist/back/wrist/trink (i got a ton of trinkets atm), and abbout the dps... i could have gone higher if i didnt screw up with magma totem+fire nova and if i was with double mongoose, or atleast with abit more crit rating.Quote:

Alitle bit harder than ele? Rotation? Enhancement doesnt have any rotation... its a priority list. Its alot harder than ele. Even a total ****** can pull viable dps as ele. But yeah, dps is pretty much the same at BIS gear.Quote:
