Hello to everone!


My question is - since i got a 51 lvl troll shaman with enhacement spec and i am interested in elemental spec because i like to throw lightnings(Zeus Rulezz :P).I need some experienced advice about switching from enhacement to elemental.Is it a good thing?Since i like PVP very much which one is the better one?And if i switch to elemental can i lvl up easily or is it going to be harder?

Thx

The answer lies deep within your own heart. The catch is that it is locked by a fierce magical incantation called self-doubt. In order to banish this demonic seal from the truth you must wage an internal war in which you respec your character, try out the spec, and come to your own conclusions.

But be ware... once you go down this path of self-assured righteousness forever will it dominate your destiny! Its hold will keep you from relying on others to validate your desires. Only those with nerves of steel contemplate this choice, and only soldiers who are pure of heart with courage rivaling the greatest heros succeed...

So do you feel up to it? (You can kinda cheat by reading the stickies and other threads in the forum, but be a rebel go at it solo!)

I would wait until you pick up enough elemental gear in Outlands first. I switched to elemental the second I hit 58 and the first three levels of it were pure torture. Once I picked up some gear and learned Water Shield it started to pick up and be about equal to leveling as enhancement.

short answer: yes
long answer: does your guild have an enhancement shaman? they are a great boost to the melee dps in a raid. If the answer to this is no then the answer to your question is: do what ever you like best. If bashing the crap out of stuff is more your thing than hitting things from a distance for insane dps, then stay enhancement.

The gear upgrades you get for the initial quests in Hellfire will be a huge upgrade from old world stuff regardless of your spec.

You can go ahead and buy a bunch of elemental stuff and switch and get yourself ready to deal with those initial quests in outlands if you want. Being as you're only 51, you still have 7 levels to acquire some decent stuff and experience before heading to outlands anyway.

I leveled 1-70 elemental and in my opinion it was easy enough to do those initial quests in outlands as elemental just as I've heard it is easy enough as enhance.

It's really just a matter of what makes you happiest.

For PVP shammies are kinda hurting either way do to our lack of CC and oh **** buttons. Enhance seems to have a slightly better time against people who can't kite you as effectively do to the burst dps in close range. Elemental has problems with people who can interrupt your casts and get in close to you quickly and once they are close you're melee dps is much lower.

Find what you want and run with it, only you can decide but know that going one way or the other isn't going to hamper you leveling.
