No intelligence for enhancement shamans? Doesn't work for me. I have quite a lot of int bonuses on my gear, mana goes down way too fast otherwise. Even if i dual wield and do good damage, i still use my shock spells a lot, put totems and heal myself if needed. I wouldn't go far without int!!
It must be different for resto and elemental shamans, i don't know really. But i think enhancement is all about that fine balance between intelligence and agility/strength stats (on top of stamina). Having it all is great, that's why i looooove my rare/epic items ;)
O.K. Here is my shaman...http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Baelgun&n=Afatis Hes getting new shoulder/neck next level and I just healed some group quests so he has the wrong cloak on, must have forgotten to switch that back.
BUT...I feel like I have good stam/str/agi/int combo because I kill fast with little or no downtime, my downtime is (no kidding) the time it takes me to drink about every 20 mobs. Although that is if I can bring them in 1 at a time. If its 2 every once in a while its slightly less. The trick is to use water sheild and mana totem every time. Use shamanistic rage either every time its up or on 2 man pulls to get the full value, usually I get about 130 mana per time it procs and its like 80% proc so over the whole time I get about 2000 mana.
Use your trinkets/warstomp/racials alot, a 1 or 2 min cooldown is nothing. Always put down all totems and pull to the totems and Totemic Recall once you have the timing down to like 5 seconds because its mana efficient.
Do this and you should have VERY low downtime.
Edited: I wanted to add something on the plural form of Shaman. I use Shaman and the plural form of Shaman, its kinda like fish. :D
