ice lance + frost nova + cone of cold
It's so simple that it frustrates me.
As enhancement, I can find no way to counter this combo,
no way to catch up the mage, no way to do ranged attack(we don't have) or spell(silenced).
My grounding totem will be immediately consumed by ice lances,
my earth, fire, water totems won't do much as mage can easily blink out totems range.
My only and last attack means are shocks. While all 3 of those mage spells are instant cast, I can't really interrupt ANY single spell with earth shock. If I frost shock, mages will just blink away, and it's just pointless to flame shock a mage.
So, is there any suggestion for an enhancement shaman, to counter this strategy?
If they begin to cast frostbolt, bandage and earthshock at the last minute.
Purge frostnova + mage's icebarrier.
Earthshock frost spells, not fire.
Counterspell only silences you for a few seconds (may seem like a long time when it's happened to you), but you should use a pot or something meanhwile.
Perhaps heal once you have earthshocked them and their CS is down (They may cause pushback with missiles though).
Earthbind when near (Blink has a cooldown remember!)
Ghostwolf and charge them if you possibly can?
Cant think of anything else, but good luck bud.

having both a shaman and a frost mage I can see what you mean. But most frost mages after freezing you down, are going to be at their max range which is out of range for an earth shock. My best weapon against mages and most frustrating for my mage is for you to drop your frost restistance totem, 70 resist is helpful, and pay attention to the mages casting bar and drop a grounding totem as the frostbolt is almost done, this will negate the frostbolt and the ice lance is much easier to deal with. There is a combo where they will freeze you down and cast a frostbolt followed by an immediate ice lance. This usually hits for upwards of 5k+ damage depending on the mages gear and build but my frostbolt can crit for about 3.5k and ice lance around 2.2k on frozen targets. Also if you're playing a draenei shammy you can trick the interuptters with GotN by having them interupt your "holy" tree instead of your nature tree.

Start duel on mount. Mount up to him, instant SS ES, out with frost res + grounding, purge x2, he will now have used one Ice Lance on grounding, use medallion of the horde/alliance on next Ice Lance and SS ES again 8should be at around 40% by now, if he have 400 res and about 10k hp), spam renew Lighting Shield and heal yourself up ALL THE TIME to avoid silence + pet + nuking.
Hmm, I haven't been enhancement since 62, but this is some good stuff for if I ever do. I didn't even think about trinket...
My friend used that mount rush in a duel against my shaman on the test realm, he played as a warrior and did that mount.
Nice post man!
