Hum, in my oooooooooooooooooold memories, i think that Ele was better, but i'm not sure
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.
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.
Although I still prefer Elemental Shaman in the raid, who doesn't want that +5% crit chance and +spell power totem in the raid
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.
Exactly, there is not possibility for an Elemental to beat an Enhancement.
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.
Well there's a possibility. If both got low ilvl gears, ele can outdps enhancement, but if both have decent gear or even on their BiS gears, enhancement has the potential to outdps an ele because enhancement is very item dependant spec.
One of the smartest things said in this thread, i salute you my friend. Also there is still the spec knowledge factor.
