You won't get a response from a developer because the T-WoW staff have already very clearly stated objectives: finish what blizzard started / buff things that sucked horribly / fix things that were overlooked/unintended
"being somewhat mediocre" is not "sucking horribly" btw so likely won't be addressed in any significant way. MAYBE minor buffs if you are lucky
Enhancement Shaman is not intended to be a DPS powerhouse as they are a tanky support class/spec intended to fulfill whatever role is needed of them at that moment (such as tossing a quick emergency heal for example) or (off-tanking particularly hard mobs/bosses).
Indeed, under the 'Skills' tab you will find:
Elemental COMBAT
Enhancement
Restoration
You are not intended to be a badass chad DPS as you not even referred to as "combat". Indeed, you only have a single (painfully mediocre) melee ability (Stormstrike) and it is a deep talent as well.
Note: It's no coincidence your ONLY melee attack also has a support side effect: increasing Nature dmg on the target (intentional design: can boost a teammates nature spell damage).
Tanking/Support is baked deep into the DNA of Enhancement shaman and this is as it should be in T-WoW.
Only during WoTLK was it ret-conned and "revamped" to become an uninspired dual wielding Warrior wannabe. A repulsive choice imo and ruined what made the spec intriguing to me.
Enhancement Shamans shine in 5 man content as this is where they thrive. They can also Main Tank low tier raids like Molten Core.
Not every class/spec needs to excel in every aspect of the game. To attempt that concept is to make Vanilla into Retail.
Do not want. >_<
Dude you are the only person in the entire forum still hating this discussion without any objective reasoning.
You are arguing against an imaginary strawman you created in your head. You spent the time to write this long post, again, because you have been laying out those points since the beginning of this thread, and you have been debunked and argued out of them like 5 times already. I am not going to spent time to do it again, you can just read the previous pages, but I doubt you read anything postes here at all. You just repeat the same 5 lines over and over again without them making any sense anymore.
At this point I am worried about you.
Why spent all this time to sabotage this thread?
Did your wife run away with an Ench Shammy or something?
Srly, at this point it seems like you just have a personal vendetta against shamans.
