Best Enhancement Shaman Talent Tree Builds - Midnight

Man, I love enhancement but Stormstrike feels like dealing no damage if you don't pick Riding the lightning AND Forked lightning... And also, is intended that Counterstrike Totem pulls passive monsters and critters?

Comment by skylinkdave

Which talent did Doom Winds get rolled into, or what is closest?

Comment by Senjim

Question about the Strength of the Earth build:

Is it worth it to have more than one Strength of the Earth Azerite trait? Or should I switch the second Strength of the Earth if I have a better alternative?

Comment by ByucknahTheRed

I don't care what is "meta", I'm building this for 60 and no one can stop me! So tired of Meta Slaves, long live Windfury Doom Winds focus!

I'll tell you what feels rough is M+ without hex and purge, understand those can come later with the extra points, but trying to hex zul'gamux bat and OShir's bird only to realize I followed the template to a T and didn't even have hex (I thought I was having a UI bug).

Comment by McMurphy

Why use the skybreaker's legendary? How does that benefit enhance?

Comment by HeadMonkey

Despite saying these guides have been updated for 10.0.5 the talent trees do not match the live build. Please fix.

Comment by Maddley4321

Why/ how does this show 31 points talented into the spec tree - did they increase the cap?

Comment by Strikerays

For 10.1, it seems that picking up frost shock for storm build is a point wasted in that talent since u got nothing to rise up its damage, if u ask me just use a macro to put Nexus totem, and use that talent point in Hex or cleanse totem, since we will have to cc/cleanse those ghosts from the new affix.

Also for lava burst and elemental blast, maybe elemental will help u with the bonus stats but is minimal since your priority will be cast as many lightning bolts as u can. of course this means u will need barely from 30 to 35% haste without buff, so u get that GDR to casts all the stormstrikes u want.

Mr Writer,
Let me preface this with your guide is well written and looks great.

BUT
When people click "Best Builds" they expect to be told what the best build is without read all the details to find it.
And what I mean by that is:

Instead of
Elementalist - (Raid / ST)
Storm - (Raid / ST)
Elementalist - (M+ / AoE)
Storm - (M+ / AoE)

You write
Elementalist - (Raid / ST)
Storm - (Raid / ST) (Best)
Elementalist - (M+ / AoE) (Best)
Storm - (M+ / AoE)

As an example.

10.2 - The Elemental M+ talent tree is outdated and missing points in the game when imported over.

Comment by Adondriel

Talent links are broken for elementalist.

Comment by Vijhkal

Small oversight on the 11.0.0 "War Within pre-patch updates": the notes for the ST storm class tree seem to have been skipped. In particular the notes on Spirit Walk, Nature's Guardian / Brimming with Life, and Totemic Projection are outdated, and I presume it needs notes on at least Stone Bulwark Totem and Earth Elemental / Primordial Bond.

Comment by ldrago915

In the storm raid/single target talents you take the Swirling Maelstrom talent but without taking Hail Storm of Fire Nova. If this is just to make it past the talent point gate wouldn't just having the option for crash lightning to cleave make more sense to not have a completely dead talent?

Comment by downland

wanted to let you know that the Talent import strings fail to import

Comment by Buellah

I accidentally got the import to work.

When I got the failure message, I hit cancel and proceeded to do the tree manually.
I right-clicked a talent that wasn't in the export, but the point didn't get removed.
However, the Apply Changes button lit up and when I clicked it the talent build I was trying to import was applied.
I doubled-checked the talents against the build and it was correct.

Comment by kenyolol

Please review the talent tree links for all the shaman guides, none seem to work

Comment by notrees

looks liek I wont be palying enhancement again. honestly these build maybe the best on paper so aren't achievable for the average player who actually needs to read these guides to learn the class. I'm also a bit tired of this idea of Storm and elemetnalist builds that the guide writer has clinged on to. It doesn't really exists as the build are almost identicle with very minor differences in talents that dont really impact gameplay.

Comment by Vijhkal

I'm genuinely confused about the use of totemic recall in raid builds (or in any scenario, really). And even more so about the 2nd point spent on it to reduce its cooldown. If it worked on Stone Bulwark it would make perfect sense, but it no longer does. Is that really just to get an extra Wind Rush totem? And, if that is the case, is that really worth 2 points?

Comment by Grimnur

the talent builds still error out when trying to import

Comment by Lanik323

Stormbringer Elementalist Single Target Notes section for the Raid shows different talents taken than the tree it is the notes for. E.G. the first tree shows taking Totem Recall and the second one is taking Chain Heal.
I was hoping for a note that explain what totems we need to cooldown that much? I guess just wind rush for boss movement?

Comment by Horaxlfa

M+ Stormbringer / Elementalist build is not valid and does not get imported correctly.

Comment by voskopoula

How can you do easy Delves if you dont have Hex and Earthgrab totems? i am also experimenting with Lasso.
The important strategy to do in high delves is to be able to interrupt and control the mobs, thinning them out slowly without getting overwhelmed in hits. Also Thunderstorm should not be talented and should have it's knockback. This way you can kill packs even melee ones with relatively ease. I am doing delves with brann as dps this way too.
Most bosses are doable with your earth elemental and your defensive cds in a queue right after. In this matter it is also important to use Surging currents in stormhero talents (it gives free instant heal every tempest)

Most packs in Delves have some mobs that are rootable or hex-able. and lasso is very usefull when being low and need some space between a hard hitting melee mob.

To me it seems like you forgot to fix the shaman build there for Delves.

Comment by LackOfCreativity

I wish they didn't ruin this class. Dragonflight enhancement was the most fun I had ever had while playing an mmo class.

Comment by taka88

can anyone tell me wat is Raid Council? wat is Council?

Comment by MrHobbyist

For leveling 70-80 do you recommend using any of these builds over your (good but now possibly outdated?) stormbringer leveling guide?

Comment by Instaggibed87

Taking elemental blast as a Stormbringer directly conflicts with their end hero talent Awakening Storms.

Comment by Rick442

On the M+ Stormbringer build, ice strike is taken on the enhancer side to enhance your next frostshock. But Frostshock isnt taken in the shaman tree.

Is this an oversight or is this really such a stupid build ?
