Enhancement Rotation

[Honorshammer]

Hey I'm a retadin who wants to make an enhancement shammy, but I was wondering, what is the standard rotation for dps?

[kovactheslovac]

well honnorshammer what i use is a STORMSTRIKE, EARTH SHOCK, LAVA LASH...i repeat twice and the mob is usually dead. however if you are fighting a boss i have read that you its better when you use STROMSTRIKE, FIRE SHOCK, LAVALASH, STORMSTRIKE, EARTH SHOCK and then repeat. Apparently it you do more dps. obviously when you have low health you release the spirit wolves and when you are out of mana you hit the shamanic rage button. Hope that helped

Enhancement is mostly preparation buffs, with spells in between cooldowns. Keep plenty of buffs on, and a portion of the fight is just hitting stuff with a nice mace.

I'm assuming you mean a maximum dps rotation for use on bosses. For that purpose, you'll use a priority system, not an actual rotation. You'll probably have enough hit and crit to make Earth Shock a better choice than Flame Shock. So, basically go through this sequence of questions every time your global cooldown is up.

5 stack of maelstrom weapon? Cast an instant Lightning Bolt.
Stormstike is available? Cast it
Shocks available? Cast Earth Shock
Lava Lash available? Cast it
Magma Totem getting low or mob not in its range? Refresh it
Less than 2 charges of Lightning Shield? Refresh it
Other Totems low/out of range? Refresh them

If possible, time spirit wolves to come out right before heroism to get the maximum benefit. With replenishment/Judgement of Wisdom, you probably won't ever need to use SR to get mana back.

While soloing, you shouldn't need to drop totems and can get away with using mostly just a stormstrike and auto attacks, using maelstrom weapon to heal, shamanistic rage to get mana back, and wolves to take on elites or large groups.

Not on single target bosses...regular LB does more damage on one target and should be used on most bosses unless they have adds next to them.

I dont know if this tread is still active, but I am hoping someone will help me out with this.

What are the best totems to drop for a boss fight. I was under the impression that Strength of Earth, Flametongue, Windfury and Mana Spring was a good combo but from juggy's post, it seems like he uses Magma Totem for Fire. Is this even when the boss is alone or only when there is more than one mob?
