Why is a non-Resto shaman so frowned upon in Lordaeron?
I so wanted to make an Enhancement/Elemental Shaman my first alt after I I start getting heirlooms on my Prot Pally, but everyone I've spoken to says "Go Resto or don't play Shaman."
Is Shaman DPS really that abysmal here? I was always led to believe that Shaman DPS in WotLK is pretty solid, maybe not top tier but definitely competitive, with the difference being that Elemental is super easy to play, whereas Enhancement is much more complicated with a difficult rotation and a complex list of priorities, but can outparse Elemental in capable hands.
Enhancement Shaman is really something I want to learn and commit to, but I need the security of knowing I'll be able to find a spot in ICC raids if I play it.
