Subject: A Fix for Enhancement Raiding Shaman |
| |
A lot of people say that Enhancement Shamans are useless in raids. Well, this can be fixed with a few simple solutions. If we switch around the skills in the Enhancement tree, Shamans might actually have a role in raids. First we need a few changes:
1) Make 2h Axes/Maces trainable!!
With the nerf to WF, there's no need to have this a talent any longer!
2) Make Parry the new 11 pt talent.
I understand that this talent shouldn't be trainable for Shamans, but it is not worth a 21 pt talent slot.
3) Make Stormstrike the new 21 pt talent.
With competition like Nature's Swiftness in the 21 pt talent slot for Resto, Enhancement needs some balancing, and Stromstrike is NOT 31 pt material.
4) Make the 31 pt talent a new Shock Spell: Wind Shock.
This Enhancement only spell could do something like this:
Wind Shock
X Mana 20 yd range
Instant Cast 6 sec cooldown
Instantly shocks the target with wind, causing Y to Z Nature Damage, and reduces the Shamans threat. Damage from this spell generates no threat.
With an aggro management shock, Enhancement Shamans would have at least be able to melee in raids without a high risk of dieing.
Also, Stormstrike's debuff should also affect the other elements (Fire and Frost). This would really give Enhancement Shamans a Raiding role.

We realize that many of you feel this tree is lacking raid viability, Badomen. As I've stated before, we definitely wanted to add more to the tree in terms of what it has to offer the "raider". In any case, we've read the feedback and concerns provided on these boards and will be watching this tree very closely once patch 1.11 releases.
Continue to provide your feedback, and we'll continue to make adjustments in problem areas.
Concerning the Two-Handed Weapon skill being trainable. We've considered the viewpoints of those that have suggested this change, however, we feel that this is an important element of the Enhancement Shaman that makes them unique compared to others specs. We simply don't feel that this is a good candidate for a core ability.
