Leveling 70-80Follow

So i was wondering, without breaking it down to an exact science, would it be more efficient to level as enhance for elemental for WOTLK, or is it so even that it doenst matter. thanks

Probably the same as always:

#1. Enhancement
#2. Elemental
#3. Resto

Because enhancement doesn't have to cast to do damage, they can conserve mana for healing and yet still kill fast.

I can imagine resto being popular in the 55-70 section though. Lots of deathknights, but no one to heal. =)

Since you are resto you might wanna make a change. Some shammys are gonna level resto just so that they can heal new instances from the beginning. But we all know how "fun" resto soloing is =/

I really hope you have some offspecc set of gear in bank waiting? I'm myself missing neck and feet from my enha set so that's the way I'll level. Mainly cos I really enjoy mechanics and speed of enha and also cos I already got 70 mage to level.

If you don't have gear for enha now you can easily respecc elemental for X-pac and use your healing gear (spell power change) from 70 to 75 and then go enhacement after getting that gear from Q's & instances. I'm sure there will be both (or all 3) specc out there since people are so used to their toons that they wont change specc for leveling.

I would probably prefer to stay Resto the whole time, but I'll be leveling as Enhancement to 80 and probably past until I complete any non group quest before switching back.

I just really, really look forward to summoning spirit wolves every few minutes.

i found ele was a lot faster than enhancement after once i got a fair bit of spell dmg.
in groups, i would be 10-20% above the enh shammy, and miles above anything else.

If you were to keep your weapons upto date with your level i can see how enh may be as good as ele, but its just not nessescary when leveling.

If you are currently resto I would say go elemental since you already have a spelldamage kit.

I was going to level enhance since my gear was better than my Ele gear. But since Blizzard made raids so easy my Ele gear has become a lot better. I will probably level Ele mainly because I dont want to regem and enchant all my enhance stuff.
