Enhancement/Survivability (8/63/0) by Draanikvinna
Strength's:
Increased armor, increased dodge (no need to use weapon chain) and 6% reduced damage from all resources.
Weaknesses:
Not so much damage from spell crits. No increased melee crit when spell crit occur.
This spec is the enhancement spec I'm currently using. I prefer this spec when socketing defensive (will come to gem choice soon). This spec is nice in 2v2 and 3v3 bracket due to not being slowed as much. You got more armor and with a shield you should be around 19k armor or so.
Other than that it's just a bit different from the normal enhancement spec that is used in the higher brackets. Shouldn't have to explain how much earthen power and spirit wolves are a must.
Glyph's:
Glyph of Lava Lash, Glyph of Windfury Weapon and Glyph of Flametongue Weapon is the glyphs I'm using, I think they are the best for enhancement pvp, after 3.1 (if they aren't reverting the change) you will of course glyph Stoneclaw totem.
Gems and Enchants:
defensive, that is really all I can say.
Blue gems: Stamina AP or Stamina Crit
Yellow gems: Stamina Crit
Red gems: Stamina AP
I enjoy this gem choice since Shamans in general are somewhat squishy but with these gems and a shield equipped you can tank pretty well and with SR you can negate a lot of damage.
For the enchants I am using high stamina enchants (keep in mind not to gimp your ap and crit to much though) but at shoulders and head I'm using the ap resilience enchants from Wintergrasp.

| Btw the 3 points in Static Shock is wrong, they should be put in Mental Quickness. | |

| Thanks for this! Next up: 2v2/3v3 guide? :D | |

| Yeah Static Shock is a terrible idea, espically with nothing in mental quickness. I'd take points out of toughness for elemental dev/concussion. That is of course till 3.1 and its actually a good talent again. | |

| I'm going to assume that the static shock placement has to do with the tree being wrong. Static Shock and Mental Quickness should be in different places in the tree. I'd drop Toughtness and 2 points from Ancestral Knowledge to push further down the Ele tree, for reduced shock CD. I find that that 1 second reduced CD on my interrupt is a necessity. | |

| You can't drop any points from Ancestral Knowledge in this build, because you need them to get to 2nd tier. You have to sacrifice something else to get to Reverberation. | |

| Hi Draanikvinna, thank you for your effort. Making arena with an enhancement shaman is really difficult so your support is really appreciated. Simply no one like us. I' m using a 17/54 build. Playing with an hunter surv. I'm at 1700 - 1750 now hoping to go up to 1850. I don't think i can go upper than that now. Hope to go up in 3.1. I think that macroing earthbind first then fire nova totem second is good for a 2 sec stun at start. I don't use earthen power. It pulse every 3 second and with toughness up (+spirit walk) i don't need it nor my hunter so i free 2 points. I don't like anticipation i prefer to use titanium weapon chain off hand and berserker main hand, in this way i have 3 more point to spare. Going with double dps team like mine means that you will use your first 5 stack maelstrom weapon to make an istant lighting bolt instead of an instant heal. Cause in my team damage done is > than some healing in the first 20\ 30 sec. especially versus Dps + healer teams. As for glyphs i prefer Shocking - Stormstrike - Windfury. I ll use Feral spirit - Stoneclaw - shocking or stromstrike in 3.1. we shall see. Finally thank you really much for your effort. | |

| Main thing with using weapon chain in OH is that if you are using a shield (wich you should alot of times) and get a disarm, guess what? | |

| My apologies, I thought he had Earth's Grasp. Gaurdian Totems then. | |

| Draanikvinna | Mar 11, 2009 - 3:51 PM (HideShow) |
| Using imp fire nova totem spec atm, may post it if ppl are curious. | |
| Milkfloat | Mar 12, 2009 - 7:21 PM (HideShow) |
| How do you control your wolves? Have everything on auto cast, or manual or some nice macro? Also the new glyph of hex looks interesting, dunno how often you use it offensively. | |
| Shankmayn | Mar 17, 2009 - 2:00 PM (HideShow) |
| just curious, i play resto but wondered if say a glyph of lava, and flame shock the targ insta lava burst is a good idea?? thinkn of hancy for 3.1 | |

| Id take 2 points out of ancestral knowledge and put em in earth grasp just because you and your team are very dependent of the dispel it does. also next patch that totem will give you a shield depending on the health it absorbs, wich means the shield will be stronger if the totem has more hp. | |

| Mostly play cleave and it's 2 more yards | |
