Enhancement Youtube/Twitch Project

[eukal 1]

Hi there shaman folk,

for the upcoming old Nostalrius PvP launch on Elysium,
I am planning to upload gameplay, guides and to stream occasionally (mostly raids, dungeons and PvP), on for this reason created channels.
Containing PvE and PvP endgame enhancement shaman related stuff.
My intention is to provide entertaining and educational gameplay all relating to the enhancement life.

About my character:
I cleared MC/BWL/ZG as enhancement and hope to start AQ40 soon.

I am posting this now, because I just uploaded a short introduction video.

//Nostalrius/Elysium Basic PvE Enhancement Guide

Enjoy

That rogue better has an 'I was playing on a toaster with my hemo dagger spec and my secretary gave me a blowjob under the table' kind of excuse.

Jokes aside: what was your main character renew? I assume you switched to your hunter alt to tranq and then returned to your main to do real dps . (Not 'I modified realmplayers' dps).

Someone did pretty much the same in the Nost forum.

And he did post the overall damage too.

If you get through the trouble looking up raid stats, at least post some boss stats.

Who cares about trash?

And btw, was pretty much blue geared in most of the posted stats.

 

Anyway, I uploaded some stress test footage today.

i assume you have been dropped as a child, so i gonna be gentle...

 

Look at the rog for example " Magllor"  hes in the top on 1 and under tanks in another... you post something from a trah nuke.. many are "semi" afk on trash. and we know it.   you my man, are simply a crybaby, or to butthurt that you where proberly FORCED to heal on you class while others had fun with a hybrid. 

 

Eukal keep it up!

That damage count only averages the damage done on the bosses.   Looking at boss fights individually, there was only 1 boss fight in your BWL run where you out DPS the tank.

 

This is why 99% of the meme specs are not allowed in raid.  Cause you run in a sub par spec and go "Fail-Hard" at the same time.    Less than 7k damage in 65 seconds before you die?!  http://realmplayers.com/RaidStats/FightOverview.aspx?Raid=19727&Fight=2

 

On a AFK auto-attack should get you higher than that.    A holy priest healing throwing a DoT out would out dps you.  And the ONLY redemption item you could have to make up for your less than Auto-Attack damage is Nightfall, which you don't have.

 

GG.

Oh, only every decent part of any decent leadership in any decent guild since the majority of the time spent raiding is clearing trash and that determines your groups cleartime.

 

Nightfall? That can be given to an offtank and even if you force a fury to use it, that would be more raid dps-efficient than an enhancement. Or even a resto shaman with a slightly modified spec. Melee hunter...?

most melee wants those totems.. so a melee shaman is pref.. i would say a surv hunter will only do more dmg in Naxx at Patchwerk ofc with the gear for it.. els a enhanc shaman would do better for grp buffs and nightfallen. so i cant see anything wrong in this.  its a private server... all know what to do.. not like retail vanilla.. so many dps outperform people from back then..   plus the clear time ??? comeon... most guilds clear it on 1 raid night if u have the water for it.. and with onyx and MC only content for a while.. stop whine about cleartime.. its not a contest for the majority of players to clear it fastest.. u get the same items for a 2 hours run or a 3 hours.

Goodluck with youtube video =)

[eukal 1]

Goodluck with youtube video =)

Thanks mate.

And thanks for the support Boomcat.

 

You guys can't change the fact that enhancement shamans got the best Nightfall uptime out of all other options.

Offtanks are often required to tank themselves, they are often not 2h hitcapped and they got not quite the enhancement shamans chance to proc Nightfall.

I could keep posting reasons why an enhancement shaman can be viable in a raid. Maybe not as viable as a full geared rogue, so what? Get a life.

 

This discussion is like all over the internet since 2005, why do ppl still complain?

I guess they just don't like to get onehitted in PvP.

 

And picking a random bossfight where I randomly died by some фекал? Yea right...

You guys are still comparing a mostly blue geared enhancement shaman with full epic geared people.

Look at Roji, his gear was/is way better and he does pretty well for an enhancement shaman.

 

 

Btw I dont think Realmplayers is that accurate, If I remember correctly my dps meters (was using recap and sw_stats simultaneously) always displayed me in a better position.

???

Every decent guild should be running over trash like it is Hogger, so they dont care at all.

Hey, I wasnt here to bash enhancement shamans, if your guild wants to take one for fun, go right ahead. You can also clear content with 5 enhancement shamans. I just came here to make fun of Renew, because he played a hunter no nost if I remember correctly and hunters lose their viability past bwl, you can replace them with hunter alts to tranq unless you find a legendary zecov.

 

But you challenge me to it .

Enhancement shamans bring 2 benefits over resto shamans

1.) Nightfall: You better use them with offtanks obviously, if all tanks are needed you can have a fury warrior with it. Now you may debate if a fury warriors dps and the benefit from nightfall is better than the fury warriors normal dps, but it surely is better than the enhancements dps + nightfall benefit. The hunter part was a joke, hunters need TSA.

2.) Improved totems: Shamans either heal the tank or the raid, raidhealers generally use chain heal (and lhw to safe individuals). You can take a spec along those lines here and heal perfectly fine, you just dont get to use healing wave due to lack of healing way and improved healing wave: http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#hZxi0dVMZVcxtV0a (switch imp mana spring with tidal mastery or do whatever).

 

I have zero problems with you actively recruiting enhancements or saying that they are good enough to clear all content with, because they are. You could probably clear mc with 10 ferals and 15 ret paladins.

I do however have a problem with posts that sound like the author suggests that it is the most effective way to have enhancement shamans in your melee group. If you think that the small totem enhancements make up for the dps loss from dropping a rogue/fury, then I wouldnt want to be your math teacher.

Well, an enhancement shamans NF uptime is still better.

 

 

2.) Improved totems:

15% more strength+agility

30% more ap for group wf

25% better mana spring

+ totem twisting which is like pretty awesome for every melee group

+ decent offheal (carrying healgear around all the time for some situations)

 

http://db.vanillagam...Zxi0dVMZVcxtV0a

I don't think going hybrid like this is more viable than any 'normal' enhancer spec.

I would go full heal before I do something like this.

 

I have zero problems with you actively recruiting enhancements or saying that they are good enough to clear all content with, because they are.

Cool. But I am not really recruiting anything, I just want to spread my knowledge to those who are interested.

 

 

If you think that the small totem enhancements make up for the dps loss from dropping a rogue/fury[...]

Where did I say that?

Obviously any rogue/fury is a better choice, because damage.

As I said, this discussion is all over since classic retail, there is not really a point in any discussion because every fact is already there.

 

I played rogue most of my time and was always on the top, now I played demonhunter and was outdamaging like every pleb out there.

Dealing damage is getting boring, wanna do more than that even if its not viable like the top classes.

     An enhance shaman can have it's benefits

 

    they bring the raid a total of 475 extra Ap from windfury, 100 extra Ap from strength totem , 50 extra agility, the ability to twist between WF/GOA to keep both up with the 9 sec pulse, their own dps , Nightfall procs, (all of these are things Resto does not bring to the table)

   

They also toss off-heals, Tremor/grounding/FR totems ect., off heals , and wipe recovery.

 

   Enhancement is often judged as solely a dps class, but it's a utility class and their own dps is just part of that utility along with greatly buffing the melee group and providing nightfall.

 

Should you run around and bring 5 enhance shamans to your raid? Hell no

Do they bring something to the table that makes one viable for the top melee group? Yes in my opinion

Reading this thread scares the фекал out of me planning to play a shaman for the first time

It won't be easy, can ensure you that.

But the PvP that comes in the end is a hell lot of fun.

Thanks for the encouragement, I'll try to grab some tips from your vids and guides when I can. The only in-depth "study" I did on shaman was to watch Mark's Shaman video (but then again I watched all of them so can't be considered shaman study as much as vanilla WoW study )

[Stupid_Maniac 0]

I shall be watching, super excited to play as Enhancement. Was a Priest all throughout Vanilla so excited to change it up!

[Boomcat 0]

Eukal do you know if WF are done ? or is it bugged ??? because i think i remember on Nost, WF did not give the ekstra AP on hit..

[eukal 1]

As far as I remember the two extra hits were always higher, so I guess it did work (maybe not the right amount or something).

Don't know about the totem....

 

I might be wrong tho.

 

There was another annoying bug, WF wasn't mentioned in the combatlog properly, thus not working with WF damage display addons.

And the WF animation was missing completely.

Edited December 10, 2016 by eukal

[Boomcat 0]

indeed.. many of these "bugs" are reason while im not throw myself out in main Shaman atm..  if i do its resto/ele.. i love the Enhanc.. no doubt its my dream spec.. but if its not working proberly. sad face... some said WF did proc as used to... but with only + 50 dmg.. wich is ok´ish at start.. but 50 + dmg at lvl 60 is rather low.

Hey guys,

I just finished my Nostalrius/Elysium Basic PvE Enhancement Guide.

It contains...

*Build
*Stats and Caps
*Rotation
*Enchantments
*Consumables
*Pre Raid BiS Gear
*Addons
*Macros

Build:
http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#hZxVbdVMhtVoezV

Pre Raid BiS w/o PvP Gear:

Pre Raid BiS w/o ZG/AQ20/PvP:
http://realmplayers.com/CharacterDesigner.aspx?char=Orc+Shaman+Male&items=Headx13359x1508+Neckx15411+Shoulderx12927x2483+Backx13340x849+Chestx18530x1891+Shirtx5107+Tabardx19031+Wristx13135x1885+Glovesx15063x1887+Beltx18393+Legsx15062x1508+Feetx19048x1887+Finger_1x18500+Finger_2x13098+Trinket_1x11815+Trinket_2x13965+Main_Handx11931x1900+Rangedx22395+

There are obviously a lot of different gear choices, so there are many variants of reaching pretty much similar stats with pros and cons. This is what I clicked together, feel free to post different approaches.
I didn't include many PvP options, remember that you can always get decent gear via Arathi/Alterac reputation.

I did forget to cover races in this guide but I am planning to do a short video about this in the future.

Hope you enjoy it, took me like 15 hours of work. ;<
