Anyone here plays enhance for raids? Would like to have a nice discussion regarding gears and whatnot, especially playing with our asian ms =/

very easy on the gear part just take all *our gears and your good 2 go


*our as in hunters

well, its more to rogue gears, but yeah itemization for shamans are way too bad. Hunter gears viable for shaman are only a few, Shoulders from Akama, Illidari Council trinket/helm, MH leggings, RoS belt. I think thats about it.

enh shaman = str
hunters = agi

Tumpang thread

Are there any good STR mail gears around other than PvP gears?

yes, we all know that, but other than your tiered gears there isnt much mail item with stats. Hence forcing us to get rogue gear.

Its extremely rare to find mail with str stats. Best bet would be to go for tiered items probably, although there are some gears that are superior compared to t6 eg, cursed vision/midnight chestguard.

Most of the best shaman gear according to itemization points are rogue gears.

Isn't the EJ forum post enough?

easiest way is to armory enh shamans from the progressing guilds

EJ forums dont show a malaysian/singaporean enhance shaman DPS on teron, for example. Ive read EJ's and more, armoried more than i care to remember. The problem is, how is my DPS compared to the other asian ms shamans?

pve and latency delay is pretty trivial /sigh.

its not like bosses are kiting you around giving you "out of range".

you just sit there, and press buttons with 0.2-0.7 sec latency delay. (200-700 ms) stormstrike... totems... bloodlust? err... purge? not a wholeeee lot of skills to press either LOL

go get a gamepath/lowerping instead

way to stray out of topic. if you dont have anything to contribute why post? need to meet your post count quota?
And yes, i already have lowerping.

Hmm...would it be that much of a difference though? Some of the malaysian numbers on WWS doesn't differ much from a top raiding guild located in US/Oz. So, you could still possibly use those numbers as the variance may only be 100-200 DPS. Then again, also depends on the amount of damage done during the encounter.

im sure its still in topic as you are now talking bout latency of ur enh shams. or perhaps you are straying off topic urself? if thats the case both of us are guilty as charged then.

regardless. there isnt much you can do outside vmlinux/lowerping/gamepath. so why bother? 200-300 ping is the MAX you can go due to the internation distance between nodes of msia to wow server. want better ping, goto US.

that said, there isnt much point to dwell on "asian ms", especially in pve. heck who am i kidding, not much use b****ing/whining/discussing bout it either in pvp as there really isnt much can be done

and FYI: posting on WoW forums doesnt increase post count. in case you havent noticed.

quite a difference, i dont know if its gear or latency, but seeing 2k and above dps on teron or even brutallus for the matter and yourself doing 1.8-19k kinda makes ya wonder whats wrong. Granted, 100-300 DPS isnt much, but hey shamans kinda needs to prove themselves in raids imo, with so much talk about shamans not viable for dps etc etc.

Yes im aware alot of guilds are recruiting enhance shamans now, as they finally saw what they could do. Go back a few months and you could see the amount of hate enhance shamans get. I literally took 2 days for convince my (ex)guild leader to let me go in to KARA as enhance back in the day we just were able to down prince.




latency is linearly affecting DPS, the less latency you have the more DPS you get. The topic was mainly to get/find any other enhance shamans around the same region as me so i could compare stats/DPS. I dont see a big deal of discussing latency in the topic, i was referring to you commenting on the DPS rotation of a shaman. In boss encounters i pretty much stay in GCD 80% of the time, so dont tell me its only stormstrike/autoattack.



So i just did. thanks for the info. Now, why were u posting then?
