Right so i have a dk tank resto dr00d. i think its time for a shammy dps. im transfering my shammy to a new realm laughing skull and wanna start fresh on him

redo his gear and all cause atm he has resto gear

please can someone help me

for pve.. what is best and what is most fun since 3.3 enhance or elemental...

and for pvp?
 
I'd say both are cool for pve. For pvp, resto's probably the best. ele/enh shammies have always had pretty severe survivability problems in pvp.
 
i mean what will be the better one for dps in pve i dont wanna be first on the list i just wanna do something like 4k dps
 
i llike both.. i hardly ever dpsed on a shammy before tho. so no idea wats better since 3.3
 
I LOVE elemental shaman, do really nice dps, think at the end one can do both enhc or ele, depend on what you would like, cast/Melee

Try both with blue gear and then go with what you like.
 
Enh DPS scales better then Elem but it is quite a complex "rotation". I enjoy Enh more. Make sure you get the Shock and Awe add on if you are going Enh.
 
elemental does not have a complex rotation at all. It's all about stacking haste so that your lightning bolt spell reaches the GCD. then it's a case of:

Apply Flame Shock ---> Lava Burst ---> Lightning Bolt (till lava burst is back up)

I'm telling you that it is the most boring rotation ever with the correct gear. All you have to do is watch out for one Dot (Flame shock) and one DPS cooldown (lava burst) and you will rock the meter at about 4-4.5k DPS. This number assumes you are a turret though. Stationary fights are where elemental shaman shine and encounters where you need to move periodically can severely hamper your dps. The only real fun I have with my elemental shaman is when I need to interrupt a boss's ability or spell with windshear, cause weaving that in and out of Lightning Bolt spam is quite tricky.
 
yeah go ele m8.but in genrally reroll a rogue or get gear for you dk if u want to top the dps meter :P
 
I prefer enhancement. Its more fun, but I have a range spell caster in my mage. So its fun getting up close.

DK top of the dps meters? a what?
 
I just got my shammy to 80 and has arround 3 days played at 80.

I reccomend Enhance for leveling and then switch to Elemental for max dps :D
