I dont get why people say enhancement damage is so low. I mained an ele/resto shaman but got bored so I respeced my resto to enhancement. I had enough honor/JP sitting around to get up to ilvl 378, using ilvl 378 PVE axes and the PVE shoulders. My first test of my dps was on raiding trainer's dummy and i had absolutely no clue what I was doing. Like basically just button mashing stomrstrike, lavalash, unleash elements, and flameshock with not real order or anything. Pulled 20K dps. Now that I have had some more experience and actually using a rotation somewhat intelligently, I am pulling 25K dps self buffed only on training dummies. Still around ilvl 378. I know this is perfectly acceptable/good dps for FL normal and probably a bit weak but still fine for FL HC. Is the main problem that the top end is too low, as in the actual optimal dps is too low? If so, what kinda range are we talking here?

I'm happy with mine enhancement shaman, dps is pretty nice.

Iam satisfied too. Enhancement is my main spec and in FL iam in top 3 dps :). But i am afraid of upcoming Tier 13 with bugged "Maelstrom Weapon proc rate" can be unusable :(

use t13hc 2p and 2p t12hc, the 4 piece is pretty meh tbh. 397 helmet, T12 Shoulders + Gloves, t13 chest + legs.

Lava Lash is generally our highest damage ability. Sometimes it comes in second if we get lucky with melee crits, but it will always either be first or second. Lightning Bolt comes in higher with 2 piece tier 13, but is still nowhere near as effective as Lava Lash. It stands to reason that a set bonus that buffs our prime ability by 20% would be more effective than one that "buffs" one of our much weaker abilities.

I say "buff" because getting extra Maelstrom procs during Feral Spirit is not particularly useful. Effectively, it takes UE and our shocks out of our rotation while they're up (replaced by Lightning Bolt). Lightning Bolt does not do enough damage more than the abilities they replace to make up for the extra Lava Lash damage we lose.

Can anyone tell me what are the best combination of trinkets is the best for enhancement that's available atm? I'm currently using these two.[Ancient Petrified Seed] [Matrix Restabilizer]. Your opinions would be much appreciated.

[atmosphere01]

Seed and matrix are BIS until dragon soul gear comes around.

Is it worth to roll a enh shaman for pvp?

[fab2lats]

My friend is playing Enh sham in PvP and he wrecks everyone. Enh shamans are pretty uncommon in PvP so noone knows how to counter them :D Their attacks are elemental based so plate classes go down easier. That is all i know :)

Funny that Molten thinks Maelstrom Weapon proc rate isn't a big deal, how about fix things what have been there for a longer time...

Dont stress bout it, if you get anoyed by it try play offspec for while is with most class like that (only 1tree working pretty good) i gues we will have to wait till al PVE (dungeons) are scipted

I consider myself one of the best enh shamans on the server and feel enh shaman DPS is fine where it is single target. Aoe is still bad. But that's just how to was in 4.3

maelstrom prcs is for survival nothing to do with DPS pvpwise
