Hello I've made a new video th-cam.com/video/88TC5iI-BJE/w-d-xo.html that covers a few things that have changed since this guide has been released. - Flowing Spirits is no longer bugged and is now a competitive option - My AOE opener and Ascendance rotation were a bit off and are corrected in the new video. - I have a deeper analysis of talents & a second viable build in the new video Also it's come to my attention in this video at 8:27 I press a lightning bolt, this is an error and I missed it while i was selecting clips. This should be a chain lightning.
Good timing for me! Would love some more "Gameplay" footage where you explain it aswell. Its hard to keep up with exactly whats happening when learning the class, other than that love the guide :)
This is easily the best guide. Thank you for laying everything out in such a concise and reltable format! Really appreciate the time you put in to this.
So glad I just found your guide! This is definitely one of the best rotation guides I've seen for any class. As a somewhat new Enhancement player, this is such a good resource!
Thank you for this. I’ve been struggling to figure out this rotation. It took me awhile to get enhancement down and do everything right. This rework has put me behind weeks. My brain has been unable to comprehend this until now. I love playing shaman so thank you so much!
Your'the KING. Explaining so clearly a spec as complicated as Enhancement isn't easy, but you did it well. On top you got the street cred of actually being one of the best players in the world. Well done m8 and thanks on behalf of every fotm reroller.
I dont know why, maybe its the uber simple photoshop graphics, and NO constant gameplay and chaotic camera going on in the background, but your guide has helped me wrap my head around the rotation the most so far. Many thanks!
dude no kidding, they had me worried my spec was dead, til i actually got some M+ with the guild and was relieved to see it was not a full panic situation
10% nerf to lightning bolt and chain lightning, 15% nerf to tempest. about 8% overall nerf. spec is completely fine it was overtuned before will still be very good flowing spirits is fixed i will test it another day
Will be felt for sure... Kinda stinks. Enhance was popping off with crazy gear. But for the average item level guy enhance is mediocre at best. Now they will struggle for sure. At least it's abit easier to play now.. still don't get how frost, ret, assass is nerfless.
About time man! Haha! Thanks for making such amazing guides man! Just came back to retail from slumbering since wotlk though I played enh in classic tbc and 2 phases of classic wotlk. Still stuck on the lava lash talent as there are so many complex factors to consider in the enhance tree (and orhers I guess, I only have one char). Love the playstyle atm, doing decent damage even at 587 ilvl, but this will surely push it a bit further! Looking forward to more updates from you man! Have a good one!
Man I didn't know at first why they are nerfing us next week (was doing average damage before 626 1.8 overall) and then I followed your guide and doing sometimes 5mil that's insane Thank you
Hi, thanks for this amazing video. In 4:50 min you say to only user primordial wave with tempest, so even primordial wave is on CD we have to wait until having a tempest and neve use it with lightning bold?
Thank you blaster! Love your enhance guides and stream. One thing I notice is that tempest will proc during ascendance but when incast windstrike to get to 10 maelstrom the tempest buff goes away. Am i seeing things or playing that part wrong?
When you windstrike, you also cast a lighting bolt or chain lighting (based on the most recent one you cast). So when you get the tempest proc and lightingbolt/tempest was the last one you spent, than the windstrike will consume the proc and send the tempest
the info about using healing surge in the prepull was great, i knew to pop asc and wolves to start with 10 stacks of maelstrom and wondered why it always feels like im still ramping when the other dps and already popping off
Okay so for enh shammy, where does hand of justice stand? bloodmallet says its better than my champ 616 treacherous transmitter (i only have a max lfr vet 606 hand of justice). when i sim it also says that the hand of justice is better. will say i also have a hero track skardyn's grace thats currently 619. so im pairing it with that. can't really find too much info on hand being actually good atm but it feels bad to use it since its so low vs my other trinket.
hey man, GREAT guide. Really! Most guides people go on more tangents than a trigonometry homework... One question tho, how is it going on the surviving side of the spec? Ele feels like paper after the CDR nerfs, does it affect Enhance aswell and it requires tons of externals to live keys?
Hey man really appreciate the guide, I wasnt sure how to use Ascend windows properly and this was super helpful. Just a quick Q if you see this - what enchants you running? Ive got 2x radiant but ive found the proc rate super low compared to depths
Great guide. You're section on priming Thorim's. I'm not sure I understand how it auto primes with hitting two targets with primordial wave. Do you mean the spender from primordial (LB/tempest/CL)?
dumb question, why/how does crash lightning generate maelstrom? does the initial hit (and follow-up splashes) count as "dealing damage with a melee weapon" and trigger maelstrom that way?
yes i believe each hit counts as dealing damage and the original crash lightning (not the copied effect) can also proc windfury so it generates a lot of maelstrom on big aoe
hmnnnn 2 questions 1. im not sure - i dont understand something here wrong - or i failed something on my WA - but, when im using ascendence sometimes, i think not always, it seems when i have tempest rdy to use - and try to get to 10 maelstrom - windstrike is eating?! my stacks 2. not rly related to the vid - but maybe some fellow shaman mate has a solution i like never look at the "targetframe" - i always look at the platerbars - so i dont rly pay much attention if i have a target "active" - what is 90% of the time no problem, using melee - targets your nearlyst target anyway - but sometimes - my target dies the moment when i wanna use spenders - but spenders/"casts" dont autotarget the closest target - so i have 1-2 seconds before i realise i have no target ...xD - right now i try with "enable action targeting" - what stopped me stand there with no target - but - makes me sometimes use lavalash on the wrong target - since another mob runs closer to me - so it autoswitches away from the flameshocked target sry - my english is bad- i hope someone can understand what i meant to say/ask thx
hey zor thas i used to be an enhance main like 7 years ago just came back to wow yesterday been looking for guides i really like your guides on rotation but do you have any guides on what weapon buffs to add on to our weapons are we still using windfury or and flame weapon or has it changed in anyway
Really good guide, it's helping me alot. The only thing I don't understand is the use of Lightning Bolt at 8:27, how come that spender is not a Chain Lightning?
yo i can't believe i missed that when choosing the clip wtf. that is definitely wrong and it should be a chain lightning i'm uploading a new video in a few hours with an updated ascendance opener as well.
@@zorthas4114 Ah no problem. Just have had a really hard time understanding priming Ascendance, when to use what etc before this video. Started feeling confident about it and then that Lightning Bolt just shattered my dreams haha. Thanks for clarifying and making a good and comprehensive guide :)
hi ! first of all, thanks a lot for the guide. made a lot things crystal clear to understand. I have one question tho, how do you start the dungeon with a tempest proc ready please ? even if i pop my ascendance and spam healing surge i'll be like 10 stacks away when the dungeon starts. do u use training dummies ? thanks again !
If you are 10 stacks away and use ascendance on the pull timer then you can farm an actual tempest proc while waiting for the gate to go down. Only works on dungeons where you enter the first pack quickly
Hey, great, very informative video but I have a question, after Tempest they give you a charge to make a free lightning chain, is it better to use it without maelstrom charges or charge them and use it there?
Really good guide! Even with some reasons why you think its not worth and stuff! Very cool! Thanks man. But i have a question... Is it right that hot hand buff doesnt get consumed properly? I have problems to get it consumed nearly every time! I have to press lava lash 3 times to really consume...
I haven’t played enhance since TBC when I got my Heroic LK kill but now trying to relearn it feels hard since I’ve played ranged for so long. This is my fourth time watching this video 🥲
JEsus I thought I knew what I was doing. I was so wrong. I had primordial wave all wrong, forgot about needing flame shock applied. I was neglecting flame shock. No wonder my damage was garbage. I just couldn't understand.
Heyo thanks for the Fast update! Do we wanna spend on 10 in ST aswell as long as we have builder? And primordial wave does not trigger double tempest in ST anymore does it?
I've been watching your guides, I'm really struggling to do big dmg in really large aoe packs, but then I'll do over 5 mil on a random 6 pack. Not sure what I'm doing wrong
So in Ascendance Tempest isnt autocast anymore in AOE situations right? Before 11.0.5 it was way better I dont the same as u do but on dummies and i only get up to like 4,5mio dps. I struggle alot with the no more autocast of tempest and i got a friend who plays enh aswell and he says he just spams windstrike and tempest is getting autocasted and he hits like 8-9mio dps. Is there a way to get it back to autocast?
Hello I've made a new video th-cam.com/video/88TC5iI-BJE/w-d-xo.html that covers a few things that have changed since this guide has been released.
- Flowing Spirits is no longer bugged and is now a competitive option
- My AOE opener and Ascendance rotation were a bit off and are corrected in the new video.
- I have a deeper analysis of talents & a second viable build in the new video
Also it's come to my attention in this video at 8:27 I press a lightning bolt, this is an error and I missed it while i was selecting clips. This should be a chain lightning.

This is easily the best guide. Thank you for laying everything out in such a concise and reltable format! Really appreciate the time you put in to this.
Thank you for you guide, it has been the most informative as well as easiest one to follow that I've found so far! I pray for you to have good RNG
This guide is so good he brings everything on point on don't talk confusing stuff.
So glad I just found your guide! This is definitely one of the best rotation guides I've seen for any class. As a somewhat new Enhancement player, this is such a good resource!
This has to be the best guide I've ever seen in wow. Brilliant job mate. Cheers.
I believe this is the only guide on yt explaining the philosophy of the priorities this clearly. Good job.
Thank you for this. I’ve been struggling to figure out this rotation. It took me awhile to get enhancement down and do everything right. This rework has put me behind weeks. My brain has been unable to comprehend this until now. I love playing shaman so thank you so much!
Thank you Zor thas for the educational enhancement shaman guide
very good guide, clean and understandable! Tank you for putting the time in it! Respect o7
New to enhancement (and shaman). This is THE best guide I’ve seen yet. Thanks again for simplifying the rotation!
your guides are so straight forward to understand, you're doing god's work
You are awesome man, thank you so much for the enhancement videos in the last month or so.
Cheers for this! Straight to the point, def one of the best guides there is.

Thank you again for thr quality guide. These have been really helpful for getting back into WoW
After the chaos that was the enhance discord after 11.0.5, this is an amazing guide providing all relevent M+ info. Fantastic stuff.
dude no kidding, they had me worried my spec was dead, til i actually got some M+ with the guild and was relieved to see it was not a full panic situation
ppl on class discords believe they are class scientists but are clueless most of the time
10% nerf to lightning bolt and chain lightning, 15% nerf to tempest. about 8% overall nerf.
spec is completely fine it was overtuned before will still be very good
flowing spirits is fixed i will test it another day
Is it worth to play Totemic now, after the nerfs for stormcaller?
thanks for giving context on this so quickly
@@Nayden10 no
@zorthas4114 did you tried ?
Will be felt for sure... Kinda stinks. Enhance was popping off with crazy gear. But for the average item level guy enhance is mediocre at best. Now they will struggle for sure. At least it's abit easier to play now.. still don't get how frost, ret, assass is nerfless.
great guide and explanation. Am a complete beginner and this was really helpful. Thank you!!

thank you for this guide, nicely done and easy to understand and straight to the point
Super detailed guide, fantastic job!
Fantastic guide! Instantly subbed and I don't even play Shaman.
I love the way he is saying "Doom Winds "
So happy that i find your videos, thx a lot !
Appreciate your guides, they're excellent.
And again he delivers! Thanks a lot!
Awsome dude that was a great and decent guide enjoyed watching it.
This is a fantastic video, well done
best gameplay guide I watched
Thank you for this guide, it really helped!
Great guide and explanations! Thanks a lot!
Very good guide! ❤
Thanks for this supper helpful for correcting some mistakes ive been making in my rotation
Best guide, thanks allot mate!
BeFantastic guide!
thanks dude, just what i needed )
Hi Sir youre Guides are awesome keep Up the good Work 👍👍👍👍
Great video man, helped me alot
Best guide from the best enhancement shaman
zorthas the absolute goat
had to watch this video about 12 times to finally understand enhancement
I appreciate your amazing guide but this has to be one of the -if not the #1- most underrated & hard class/spec to play.
thanks zorthas! i went from +2's to +15's after watching your video! very informative and thank you!
Ive done my weekly homework 20s after this video!
Do you mind uploading your lateset WA for shaman? I like the look and layout TY
very nice guide!
Thank you Mr Thas!
Very informative.
Man I didn't know at first why they are nerfing us next week (was doing average damage before 626 1.8 overall) and then I followed your guide and doing sometimes 5mil that's insane
Thank you
Zor carrying Frostmourne like a king
Great vid! Do you offer coaching?
Do you need to press Crash Lightning during Ascendance to keep the buff while in it? Assuming that you're at 8+ stacks of maelstrom
I don't think so but I could be wrong
not really a lot of the time its better to just ride the end of ascendance without it
Hi, thanks for this amazing video. In 4:50 min you say to only user primordial wave with tempest, so even primordial wave is on CD we have to wait until having a tempest and neve use it with lightning bold?
Is the ELementalist Build still viable as i heard its completly Dead now? Bc i accept lower dmg for nicer plazstyle :)
Its not dead. It still top dps. And much easier play
MY GOAT
much appreciated. Would you be doing another vid for the raid too?
Thanks for the Video! Do you know Deity ? He used to play WoW enhance too. Do you use Macros and if which ones ?
Thank you blaster! Love your enhance guides and stream. One thing I notice is that tempest will proc during ascendance but when incast windstrike to get to 10 maelstrom the tempest buff goes away. Am i seeing things or playing that part wrong?

Okay so for enh shammy, where does hand of justice stand? bloodmallet says its better than my champ 616 treacherous transmitter (i only have a max lfr vet 606 hand of justice). when i sim it also says that the hand of justice is better. will say i also have a hero track skardyn's grace thats currently 619. so im pairing it with that. can't really find too much info on hand being actually good atm but it feels bad to use it since its so low vs my other trinket.

One question tho, how is it going on the surviving side of the spec? Ele feels like paper after the CDR nerfs, does it affect Enhance aswell and it requires tons of externals to live keys?
Hi, Amazing Video,,, will start using this guide for my new Shaman,
any recomendation on ST or ST Cleave Builts for raids ?
Hey man really appreciate the guide, I wasnt sure how to use Ascend windows properly and this was super helpful. Just a quick Q if you see this - what enchants you running? Ive got 2x radiant but ive found the proc rate super low compared to depths
think radiant is better for m+
What comes after the fire shock in the rotation? Can't find that icon.
Great guide.
You're section on priming Thorim's. I'm not sure I understand how it auto primes with hitting two targets with primordial wave. Do you mean the spender from primordial (LB/tempest/CL)?
if two targets have flame shock it should prime to cl
im on 20k haste - would you use alchemical chaos or simply mastery flask? chaos haste procc cant be good at that point right?
dumb question, why/how does crash lightning generate maelstrom? does the initial hit (and follow-up splashes) count as "dealing damage with a melee weapon" and trigger maelstrom that way?
yes
i believe each hit counts as dealing damage
and the original crash lightning (not the copied effect) can also proc windfury so it generates a lot of maelstrom on big aoe
I find that building before key is started does not keep stacks anymore. It always resets me to 0, however if I proc Tempest I keep it
Great guide. What enchants are you using?
hmnnnn 2 questions
1.
im not sure - i dont understand something here wrong - or i failed something on my WA - but, when im using ascendence sometimes, i think not always, it seems when i have tempest rdy to use - and try to get to 10 maelstrom - windstrike is eating?! my stacks
2.
not rly related to the vid - but maybe some fellow shaman mate has a solution
i like never look at the "targetframe" - i always look at the platerbars - so i dont rly pay much attention if i have a target "active" - what is 90% of the time no problem, using melee - targets your nearlyst target anyway - but sometimes - my target dies the moment when i wanna use spenders - but spenders/"casts" dont autotarget the closest target - so i have 1-2 seconds before i realise i have no target ...xD - right now i try with "enable action targeting" - what stopped me stand there with no target - but - makes me sometimes use lavalash on the wrong target - since another mob runs closer to me - so it autoswitches away from the flameshocked target

yes we are using windfury and flametongue
How do you start keys with stacks? Do you just have to use turnip punching bag or something?
Awesome guide, as new ehancement I have some doubts, tempest should be use only when proc isntant? or we should be using it even casteable?
Really good guide, it's helping me alot. The only thing I don't understand is the use of Lightning Bolt at 8:27, how come that spender is not a Chain Lightning?

What are your UI settings? Looks clean
Are you planning on doing a raid build? Or does it pretty much stay the same?
niiice i am new enhance user from ele, you got a beginner guide for it like rotations? :D
JEsus I thought I knew what I was doing. I was so wrong. I had primordial wave all wrong, forgot about needing flame shock applied. I was neglecting flame shock. No wonder my damage was garbage. I just couldn't understand.
Love this build. I still think Enhance has too many globals to press though. Flowing Spiirits hopefully is good so I can press one less thing lol.
Heyo thanks for the Fast update! Do we wanna spend on 10 in ST aswell as long as we have builder? And primordial wave does not trigger double tempest in ST anymore does it?
what a your take on Flowing spirits?
I've been watching your guides, I'm really struggling to do big dmg in really large aoe packs, but then I'll do over 5 mil on a random 6 pack. Not sure what I'm doing wrong
Ow lord 14 min long zor thas vid, thats a lot of homework
In AoE, do I press crash lightning at higher priority over stormstrike or just when buff is not up or I need to generate?
what do i want to do if i dont get a reset after my chain lightning during my opener?
I see some shams using crash lightning between windstrike in ascendance burst, it is worth?
use it once in ascendance
So in Ascendance Tempest isnt autocast anymore in AOE situations right? Before 11.0.5 it was way better
I dont the same as u do but on dummies and i only get up to like 4,5mio dps. I struggle alot with the no more autocast of tempest and i got a friend who plays enh aswell and he says he just spams windstrike and tempest is getting autocasted and he hits like 8-9mio dps.
Is there a way to get it back to autocast?
shouldn't we be spending at 5+ MW instead of building to 10 for the refund fishing?
This is probably the most complicated rotation of all melee o.O !!!
Can you make a video as well for raid heroic+Mythic? also GREAT video!!
