You can play as an Enhancement shaman in PvP and PvE. This Shaman spec is a lot of fun, especially is a caster class is not exactly your cup of tea. However, the Enhancement spec for PvE DPS should be slightly different from the PvP spec. So, in this short Shaman guide, I'm going to tell you how to train your Enhancement shaman for PvP and PvE.
Enhancement Shaman Spec for PvE
Since you're going with the Enhancement talent line, at least 30 points must be trained in this line. However, not all of them are PvE-oriented. So, to be more effective are a melee-DPS shaman, you should leave out the following talents from your spec:
1. Ancestral Swiftness. This talent allows you to change into Ghost Wolf quicker and also increases your speed while turned into Ghost Wolf. Obviously it's a talent for PvP.
2. Toughness. This talent increases your stamina and reduces the duration of movement impairing effects. Again, a PvP-oriented talent. In PvE you don't really need extra stamina and HP as a DPS, you will have healers in your group to back you up.
3. Seasoned Winds. This talent enables you to gain spell resistance if you successfully interrupt an opponents spell with your Wind Shear. Another PvP talent.
4. Improved Shields. In a raid or 5-man dungeon group you shouldn't rely on your shields as a melee shaman.
5. Earthen Power. This talent enables your Earthbind Totem to remove the snare effects from your party members. This talent might be useful for various boss encounters. However, it's up to you to decide if you want to support your group better, or to gain more damage.
Leaving out these 5 talents, you will gain 10 extra talents points. The best option to enhance your melee DPS is to cap the following talents from the Elemental ability tree:
1. Acuity - which will grant you 3% critical chance for any attack.
2. Concussion - especially to increase the damage of your Shock spells by 6%.
3. Call of Flame - to gain 20% damage for your Fire Totems and Fire Nova, and also 10% damage on your Lava Burst spell.
4. Reverberation - to reduce the cooldown of the Shock spells by 1 second and the cooldown of Wind Shear by 10 seconds.
Enhancement Shaman Spec for PvP
The second part of this short Shaman guide refers to the PvP Enhancement spec. This should be pretty simple. All your points should go in your Enhancement spec talents. The only talent to leave out from this ability tree is Unleashed Rage. This grants you expertise, which is pretty much a PvE statistic.
