@@ZucoWoW sadly, there is no chance.... I think 100% will be used like this: doesn't require dual wield until you spec in enhancement and then it requires dual wield or at least 1h weapon. I think they want new players to have like 1h and shield in order to feel safe but also to be able to deal damage with Stormstrike... Ice strike and lava lash require dual wield ... ( it would be amazing to have 2h ... but they simply don't want subscribers :))
Imagine it a bit like Frost Dk For Example Using 2 Handed Weapons: +40% Stormstrike Damage +20% Windfury Damage Using 2 1-Handed: +40% Lava Lash Damage and a Second Charge +50% Flametongue Weapon Damage I would like that
Based on the wording I'm not sure it will even be usable with a 2 hander. I think they just mean it will be usable with a single one handed weapon the same way ice strike is currently
It makes sense that the change is to make it easier for new players to use all abilities while leveling and earning gear to learn. The only way I see them allowing 2H enhance is if enhance becomes the rumored shaman tank.
With the current iteration of windfury weapon, the way I can see to get more windfury damage is to equip a main hand dagger. But, that nullifies use of stormstrike, which means overall damage goes (way) down. The only "niche" use I can see this stormstrike-with-one-hand gameplay is if a quick dagger goes in the offhand for more hits of windfury. This eliminates lava lash from the equation, but there are builds that don't need lava lash. I'd be curious to see what you come up with once ptr is testable.
I dont see it happening. Currently it would mean "staff agility" to be equipped when 2H weapon were axes furing previous expansion (until wow lk) It would mean so much issue with loot for shaman who could equipped everything (almost). Also 2H weapon could be used for shaman until wowlk only because we could buy or get a 2H weapon axe.
imagein if 2h could chose to go stormblast with widnfurry or elementalist with flametounge, id be ok with that. but that will never happen, so it's just so that lolvls don't have to find 2 1h weapons to uncripple them selfs. thematically 2h totemic, and dual-wield stormbringer would be cool.
2h shaman is all I want. Why am I able to equip 2h axes when theres no use for them? I wonder as well if the change to stormstrike will allow for offhand shield play 🤔 I am always on the lookout for weird fun builds. Agi shields could also easily be a retroactive change.
Zuco homie I need you to put the Copium down and take a few steps away. Like it was said by another person. They are changing Stormstrike to work with a 1h weapon because the game at low levls doesn't really make it easy to get good weapons. You either have to get lucky or have a shit ton of gold because people put low level items on the AH and it costs an arm and a leg.
"So you're saying there's a chance?"
-All old school enhancement shammys
THERE'S A CHANCE!

*pulling the unstoppable force out of the bank*
Imagine it a bit like Frost Dk
For Example
Using 2 Handed Weapons:
+40% Stormstrike Damage
+20% Windfury Damage
Using 2 1-Handed:
+40% Lava Lash Damage and a Second Charge
+50% Flametongue Weapon Damage
I would like that

That's very likely the case, yeah.
Most likely weapon and shield offhand not 2 hander
It makes sense that the change is to make it easier for new players to use all abilities while leveling and earning gear to learn. The only way I see them allowing 2H enhance is if enhance becomes the rumored shaman tank.
Imagine using a shield again and having an elemental shield bash that would hit in a cone or something.

Totemic issue is that you're missing out on the free sunderings from the initial lava lash
PLEASE I NEED THIS TO HAPPEN!
Wait. Enhance… with a shield…. Could be cool af.
But they likely just want people to be able to use the ability no matter what.
Waiting for those blue patch notes to detail how a Shaman tank plays
i started playing SoD just to live the dream. it's amazing.
maybe not the best gameplay, but i love the thematics.
I dont see it happening. Currently it would mean "staff agility" to be equipped when 2H weapon were axes furing previous expansion (until wow lk)

Would love if Totemic got some love/rework in Season 2.
Bro, thats a LOT of jumps...
@@americanmambi I did say it was 99.7% hopium :)
This would make me resub.
Sadly not going to happen probably

Thank you for giving some insight on the topic! Didn’t mean to call you out yesterday I just really wanted to know your thoughts on it 😂😂😂
Still need tank shaman :P Obligatory mention of needing guardian of ancient kings visual update for pally.
doesnt matter, lava lash still needs an offhand that would need to change too
@@derpzone7425 Well you just wouldn't use Lava Lash
2h shaman is all I want. Why am I able to equip 2h axes when theres no use for them?

@@phurygaming3347 But the Hopium though
I saw that and lost my shit, but we will see
They need to make totem weapon buffs castable on 1 weapon. 2 handers can have 2 buffs. If they don't do this no flametongue.
Old school shaman hohoho double windfury flurry prog
Dude at this point it’s just a meme. Blizzard puts random stuff like this in the game just to tease the players. lol
If it can two hand i will 100% be picking it back up.
Hopeium, not copeium
Bro, you have a windows update
@@nadiamond LOL... Thanks bro... This comment made my day
It's more to balance, they're never bringing it back...
Not a new player, but I recently started playing the game... And Yea... Enhance sham is really confusing.
Are you excited for the changes coming in Season 2 to help with all the confusion? Does it look like it will get better for you?
@ZucoWoW I won't know until I get to play it. For now I just blast everything with lightning.
i care not for these changes to enhancement, i would rather them make a focus on a legit tank shaman, something fun, not OP, just fun
For me is copium for tank shaman 😂😂😂
It’s because they made ss available at level 10. Nothing to see here. Move along
