Enhancement Shaman

Even though every class and spec is getting changed somehow for Shadowlands, not all of them are getting major changes.

World of Warcraft has seen a very high number of changes to its classes and specializations over the years.

Shadowlands is on the horizon, and big changes are coming for Shaman of all specs.

Patch 7.1 Return to Karazhan is live, and brings with it both new content, and class updates.

Artifact weapons are one of the key features in Legion -- focal points of not only class power, but also class fantasy.

Okay, so this is a bit of a departure for The Queue, but I’m really curious about some things and I figured I could ask here. Y’all are of course free to ignore me, but:

I spent my level 100 boost on my Shaman because I missed playing him, and I always liked Enhancement. And I think it’s an interesting new design they’ve gone with, and Maelstrom as a mechanic has potential to be fun. But even now that he’s in ilevel 660+ gear he just explodes when I get adds. Like, one or two adds, and I’m down to half health. Even with spamming heals on myself it’s brutal. Is anyone out there playing Enhance and feeling like it’s just a tissue paper spec? None of my other characters had this hard a time in Tanaan.

This is the Queue. I asked you a querstion, and now I answer some of yours. Fair’s fair.

It strikes me as a little bit funny that for all of the time in which I've been talking about Enhancement in Legion, I haven't really analyzed the Doomhammer traits in any particular depth.

I've said here -- multiple times, even -- that I'm pretty happy with the state of Enhancement Shaman in Legion.

The Legion alpha is rolling along, and the good news is that the changes to Enhancement Shaman seem to be just a wee bit less severe than they were the last time around.

There is honestly no substitute for actually getting a class in your hands and playing with it.
