About the Author
How is this pre-raid BiS when there are 5 tier 9 pieces? These require either raid bosses or the Triumph tokens, which drop from raid bosses. If the ilvl is above 200, it ain’t pre-raid.
Hey there! We have spent considerable time updating the majority of our guides recently! Everything is to be in accordance with WotLK classic! We hope to help the player base as much as possible!
1.8 melee daggers as BiS weapons? No spell caster weapon (Maexxna) and slow OH? No way this is BIS.
Hey there Miffles! If you want to play Spellhance, you should totally get a spell power weapon/slow OH! The reason why I went for double daggers is because of faster Windfury Procs/Maelstorm Weapon procs. Even if it would mean lower damage from LB weaving, you would still deal similar amounts of damage!
The slower your weapons are the MORE chance of proccing maelstrom shields etc have in wrath of the lich king. And that goes for almost ALL classes. It works like that to compensate weapon speeds. Thats why if your class uses skills that hits with weapons (for example stormstrike) you will always get more procs with slower weapons. This guide is misleading and realkly bad…
This is not preraid, ur supposed to have equally fast weapons i mean cmon
Hey there! I suppose you are worried about Weapon Sync. While the main choice does not have weapons with synched weapon swing speed, the alternative that I have provided does! The Pre-Raid section is supposed to be informative on what people can acquire before getting into a raid, not how to completely optimize every single aspect of our build.
Pre raid bis weapons are the black smithing dagger with spell power and the badge fist weapon
This is ENHANCE not spellhance. so you are completely incorrect
I would use Death’s Verdict or Comet’s Trail from TotC and Ulduar 25 respectively over Sharpened Twilight Scale seeing as Armor Pen isn’t very useful if at all for Enhance. The attack power provided on proc is nice but the agi proc from Death’s Verdict gives slightly less attack power and crit. The haste proc provided by Comet’s Trail is almost equivalent to Hero/Lust. Deathbringer’s Will can be used as a fill but generally less useful and for memeing mostly.
Honorable weapon mention to Black Bruise, yes lower ilvl by 7 but the proc (if we get the buffed version) adds value back
I very much agree that you can use Comet’s Trail together with Death’s Choice! However, Armor Penetration is not entirely useless to us. It depends if you choose to play Spellhance or normal Enhancement.
The BiS are totally wrong im sure you didn’t play a SHAMAN in your life. and if you did you sure are on the last in the recount btw.
I’m def gonna try the dubble dagger, Not a fan of spellchance to be honest, Cool that there is a second option but that personally for me leans into more of a caster dmg roll even tho the rotation in the end is similiar.
One question about P1 Bis trinkets. what is your take going for Meteorite Whetstone https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=37390/meteorite-whetstone
and Mirror of truth https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=40684/mirror-of-truth (Being an orc shaman in this case.)
Wouldn’t they be great or is the RNG on procs worse than on Grim Toll and Darkmoon?
best regards, Knepo Golemagg EU.
“Spellhance” and “Enhance” are literally the same exact thing…
Saying “Not a fan of Spellhance, to be honest” Is literally saying either “I don’t like Enhance shaman” or “I want to gimp my damage for 3 phases for literally no other reason that to ‘be different’ ”
The Talents are EXACTLY the same.
The Rotation is EXACTLY the same.
Everything you’re doing mechanically is EXACTLY the same.
The only difference is using a spell damage MH weapon and FT Glyph, Vs a Phys Weapon and WF Glyph.
Guess what does more damage until ICC gear and stacked Armor Pen?
That’s right, buffing your high damage spells that are 60-70% of your damage.
For me personally I don’t like casters at all, and being spellchance for me leans more towards casting (even tho my rotation is the same, I don’t want to gear for that.) let me play the class and spec the way I want to rather then give me shit for it.
Can we all stop have the min/max attitude for a game that is this old.
I bet you are one of those peiple that refuse to inv people to raids becuase their gearscore isn’t high enough, jeez marie. take a chillpill and enjoy this old game.
