Enhancement shaman advice

Hi there everyone,

So I’ve been playing my first ever shaman for a couple of months now and I’m just looking for some advice on any changes to gems, talents enchants etc to increase my dps.
For example I am currently stacking haste as gems but I’ve seen others using ap, agil, haste or a combination of them all.
I’ve been stacking haste as it increases my white damage and maelstrom profs but I may have that wrong.
Any advice or critics is welcome :)

Here’s a link to my Armoury, thanks in advance.

AS i see last time in a youtube video they stack haste and ARP they can do 20-25 k damage with the stormthing!!

question to you , are they fun to play?

Hey there thanks for reply.
There’s a lot of YouTube videos out there saying a lot of different thing.
One thing is for sure, we do not aim for any arp what so ever!
Since posting this thread I’ve started raiding in icc10 every week with my guild and I’m finding it a lot of fun. We’re currently running up to bpc but we’re getting better every week.

I’d recommend playing enhance shaman. They’re a lot of fun and not many others are around so it’s fairly easy to get gear (although you do occasionally have to roll for gear with hunters or roll for weapons with frost dks and rogues).
I’ve noticed it’s very hard to be the top dps, I’m usually in top 3-5 in raids. I think this is due to us being one of the only class/spex which doesn’t have an exact rotation. Fun to play, difficult to master. I’m still learning.
What we lack in dps we make up for with raid support. Bloodlust, totems for every occasion and unleashed rage are a few notable mentions which really help out your raid.

What if I told you every enha guide and BiS list was wrong and enha is top dmg class. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRoRn1-5w20 Recorded yesterday in our guild run.

Link to armoury please?

How can people play with all that clutter on the screen?

@diskrasa you're talking **** mate.
Since first posting this thread all ive done is swap my haste for +20ap +10 haste gems and perfected my rotation. im top of leaderboards. you are playing on icecrown and bis.. im playing lorderoan and work for my gear, don't miss lead the community

Agree that proper rotation and better proc management brings u more dps than item switching (switching same ilvl i mean), but still there are couple of unsolved questions.
He is advertising his SP build, that i am also not agree, but: spell power build not differes so much in terms of solo target, and brings us a lot more aoe dps. In terms of aoe: marro spikes, ldw mobs, dbs adds and so on. We can have pretty huge improvement in total dmg during full dungeon. Why not to try it.
About armor pene also questions: basically armor pene is bad, but according enhsim rs boots won compare to bpc ones. With solo target modelling ofc.
So u can make any combo of items with aimimg more total dmg, or solo target dps or some numbers in between.
That are my current thoughts.

There are three kind of gear builds that you can go for and they are all viable in the end game.

1) Double FT build with caster MH and half SP items: http://forum.warmane.com/showthread....311020&page=16
Best AoE dps, decent single target dps.

2) Arp build with DBW and arp gems: https://pastebin.com/3pwXKXJp (save it as a text document and then open it in RAWR)
Best single target dps on bosses with short uptime such as PP.

3) Classic haste build: http://forum.warmane.com/showthread.php?t=311020
Best single target dps on bosses with long uptime.

I’ve done some playing around with gems and the best option for us is 20 ap and 10 haste so long as you have 26 Exp and hit capped

Also need the 264 haste totem

There is no reason to take 20ap 10haste over a 20 haste gem unless you need to match the socketbonus.
