PvE: Enhancement Shaman Raid DPS [BiS - Sunwell Patch]
Greetings, my fellow shamans!
I am Ztoned (pun intended) and I've always been playing shamans - Resto on the official servers, Enhancement on Warmane.
I would like to ask the highly experienced raiding Enhancers around here for help. I feel like I have serious issues getting to the DPS I should/could be able reach. According to recount, I'm doing DPS between 650 (ew!) and 1.100, depending on the encounter, usually it settles at around 800 - 900 DPS. I feel like this far from what I could be doing with my current gear.
I've been going through countless of forum posts and alleged Best-in-Slot lists, however most of them do not take into account the latest patch including the Isle of Quel'Danas.
My rotation looks like this: drop totems (usually Windfury/Grace of Air twisting), Flame Shock --- Stormstrike --- Earthshock, rinse, repeat.
Since I'm not too deep into raiding yet, I made up a list of items I still need to get my hands on, including things like the Midnight Chestguard, Shadowmaster's Boots, the allmighty Dragonspine Trophy, Grips of Damnation, the cloak from Gorefiend, and so on.
Long story short: In my eyes, my DPS is not satisfactory. Do I just suck as Enhancer? Is it the gear? Also, what do you consider BiS for a shaman in 2.4.3? I want to improve. Honestly, I'm sick of flametongue-using, dagger-wielding Enhancers passing by on the damage-meters. I know we're not supposed to top the charts, but still I feel like it's not what I could be capable of.
I'd appreciate any help from you guys.
Cheers and thanks,
Ztoned
