Enhancement needs enhancement! Remake Ancestral Knowledge into something useful! Combine Improved Weapon Totems and Elemental Weapons! Add more spellhit! Replace Totemic Focus with Tidal Focus! Erase or remake Thunderhead so that it's useful! Make Ghost Wolf instant cast, at least with talents! Make...

Does lightning shield scale with spellpower? Actually, i would really appreciate if someone could tell me how to check what shaman ability scales with what. It scales. https://www.wowhead.com/classic/spell=10432/lightning-shield Look under the effect section Effect Apply Aura: Proc Trigger Spell Va...

More orbs is always fun, as long as we get to play around with them. What if there was a way to spend some on melee or spell hits / crits? What if there was a way that if an enemy hit uses up an orb, it hits every enemy around you? Does lightning shield scale with spellpower? Actually, i would reall...

Very reasonable observation, +1

Bump!

I completely agree, and support is immensely crucial in what we do, but can we maybe have just a little bit more zug please? It says a lot about enha that the most desired aspect of it is something that's mechanically broken and feels clunky to me, and even then, we are just about as desired as half...

This sounds like a very creative solution to adding harder modes of the game, and what is even better that it makes the game feel like a game, as in, something you play, not a second job.
Big +1

Well, I'm not exactly pushing for it to be removed, but at the same time I don't feel like it should be improved upon when from a design standpoint the WoW devs didn't want it to be a thing. I don't see how any buffs are arbitrary when the spec is just bad. I'd rather actually fix Shamans than lean...

Yeah but as a quick fix please swap the talents in resto and fix the broken enhancement totem talents, just as a band-aid that would be hella nice

I love this idea, and definitely support it, as dungeoning is my favourite thing to do in the game 50+.
+1 from me

I also agree with the points made in this thread. Every profession should be a viable tool to finetune your characters stats, and almost 90% of everything i make is vendor / disenchant instead as either LW or BS.

So, if i' not wrong, in general, broad terms -add some spellhit somehow ( xtra% melee hit could also xtra% spellhit for shaman, or at least enh?) -fix the broken talents (and move some around in the resto tree so extra hit is not behind 5 wasted points if you don't heal?) -make a way to sustain mana...

That's a much more reserved approach, and i can agree to it as well. And it still leaves many space for lots of potential tweaks and changes afterwards.

Then gib spellhit But i get you. I would be happy to see at least an acknowlegement from the dev team, any communication would be nice, even a "no, sorry, shaman is fine, deal with it", so that i can stop investing my interest and hopes into the topic. I agree with what you say, though, it...

How come there is no reply from any dev / community manager / mod on this thread? I think the passion here for a fixed shaman is obvious, and fixes are desperately needed, especially now with the new patch coming Don't forget threat. Threat sucks for us, there is not enough for a tank, and there is ...

I kind of feel like while maelstrom is a sort of a copout, it feels very neccessery to have it as enh. I feel like there is no other convenient way to weave spells into the alone sadly underwhelming melee gameplay. I would make it so that any critical strike contributes to a stack, and around 3 stac...

But please as soon as possible switch tidal focus with totemic focus, the fact that i have to waste 5 points of talents on something completely useless just to get some hit is plain unreasonable.

The Grove could have at least a totem and and an idol, WC an idol at least, SFK and SMlibs/cath a libram, it would make a lot of sense. To have craftable versions feels debatable for me, but ones dropped from mobs is a hell yes. Even if it's just for minor upgrades, it would feel pretty great; that ...

Well, why not both? And that's actually a fun idea. Still, I respectfully stand by my arguement; fix 2H first, then consider switching the dead talents out to ones that can support (if it's even possible to manage on this client) dual wield. And btw when I say totem scaling, I would love to see enha...

As long as dual wielding is an option and not a fix, I stand by the idea. But if it's introduced as a fix and not an option, it kills the vanilla shaman please maybe consider adding spellcrit to thundering strikes? Apologies if it has been said in this thread, before, but tidal mastery/imphealingwav...

This is it, fellas
Time to actually fix the classes
Looking forward to shaman buffs <3

Well, I'd like to scream into the void in here as well; I feel like shaman is incredibly stunted. We have crazy good tools on paper, but the numbers just fall short, as if we're feared for being too strong on our own, or offering too much power to our allies. The result is us hitting like wet noodle...

I would really, really love to see some form of scaling on totems, a clever, class specific way to manage mana, and less bursty (but MORE, just to make that clear) damage overall, threat also needs to be addressed, and a good redesigning to the tier sets to make them useful for all specs. Lots work ...

Would much rather see far-spread vermin races such as naga, gnoll, razormane, or maybe even centaur playable first, and also unfortunately with the correct lore, though roleplaying as as someone inflicted with the worgen curse would be very interesting, playable sentient worgen kind of don't really ...

This is a perfect opportunity to ask for shaman fixes We are bleeding from so many wounds it's crazy. Please make shamans stable, rewarding and satisfying to play, not just fun! Apart from windfury, enhancement is super weak, elemental is 'okay' sans mana, still undesired in raids, resto is just enh...

Every spec of shaman needs love. Even resto. Devs, i know we are sucky, and it sucks to touch an already fragile imbalanced mess, but i believe in you, please make shaman satisfying and rewarding, not just fun. +1 on the idea of changing the status quo, and making us not neccesserily stronger, but a...

This idea makes a lot of sense, i like it and would love to try it in action!

Tier sets definitely need to a rework. I would also suggest making Ancestral Knowledge into something useful - instead of a +5% max mana, I'd rather have a +X% mp/5 that works during casting. That would make the talent feel less like a waste / nearly useless gateway to Flurry, and would boost leveli...

Hello fellow Shaman enjoyers! There is a lot of discussion and speculation about changes for shamans, and as someone who has been playing enhancement since forever, I'd like to advocate for my most beloved spec here. These are just my personal opinions, and although I am not a person of math and mec...
