This is my 2nd toon which I would like to create and develop. I already have a lvl 70 SP and 70 hunter. Somehow I have managed to develop my SP to a reasonable raiding spec and I am happy with the progression that my priest is doing. I have seen a few good shamans playing. So I want to try a shaman for a change. Current level of my shammy is lvl 25. However after reading a few of the post here i am confused as to which spec i should chose. I kind of like the enhancement tree but I worried as to how enhancement would fair in end game content. Do I need to respec to Restro or Ele. Every time in either general chat or guild recruitment channel I only see guilds looking for restro shammy. Can an enhancement shammy cut into a raiding guild?
If i want to dps more, its ehancement tree a way to go or the ele tree. I do have a few other questions in mind but would like to hold them back till i am lvl 70. Do you recommend that I go enhancement for levelling and the respec back to ele. I dun want to going into restro eventhough its awesome. I want to try something different.
Your views on this is much appreciated.
Thank you
A confused shammy

Play whatever spec you enjoy, all three are viable raid specs. That said, most raids only have 1 elemental and 1 enhancement shaman max per raid just because most totems don't stack. Healers are usually always in high demand, so yes you probably will have a better chance of getting into a great guild more quickly if you go resto. But, if you are good at your class I think any spec of shaman can earn a raid spot.
For leveling the easiest one to go with is enhancement simply because there is not much gear for elemental shaman until you hit Outlands. You will also rarely have to sit and drink/eat as enhancement.
Crazy thing is .... I also have a level 70 Hunter and Shadow priest, with my shaman being my third 70 :) Because my first two characters were ranged dps, I leveled as enhancement for a change of pace and to see what it's like to be in melee range, up in the mobs face. It was fun, but I really wanted a healing character so I went resto. I don't regret it in the least, I am having a lot of fun in PVE. I also hold my own in BGs (haven't tried arena yet though).
Good luck to you!

If you want to top the damage meters def go elemental.
Ease of leveling to 70? enhancement
Like healing? Resto.
