Last time I'll be mentioning this, looks like I have the all clear, and am gonna ease myself back into things end of the week when I get back home. Glad I won't miss launch, I'll go back to Enhancement posts now :d
Once again, thanks for all the support gang it meant a lot.

Just so people don't worry I'm ok just in hospital, things are up and down but I'm ok. Will need a bit of recovery after things clear up and will be back for DF. Thanks for everyone's support
That said waking up to a 25% nerf isn't exactly helpful for the good vibes lmao

doing Mage bomb stuff stone cold was sick.
The best story though was seeing, for the first time in history, my spec get doubled up. It's come so far from being a meme spec makes me feel warm

Usually I don't worry much about this stuff but this is the first time I managed it, so I'll take a hot minute to say I finally got a "perfect" tier. I know there's not much competition (and private logs might ruin it) but it's a cool thing to achieve 🤓

With the expansion launching today just wanted to mention I did a LOT of work on guides this exp trying to streamline them to still cover both hero talents (even the bad ones) and present it as neatly as possible. Hope they're helpful for TWW!

Ok, not to gush because some things don't work yet but, honestly after initial hype yesterday I am still floored by the quality of the Enh/Shaman tree - it nails the choice/pathing idea and there's only a few minor nitpicks that are easily fixed. Whoever built it, gold star
22

239
ok I'm gonna level with you I'm just shitposting but I made myself laugh with this so w/e, not shade at WCL I get why Kihra did what he did & I'll use it.
It's 2022. New columns have been added. Finally we can see the most optimal, pure parse.

229
This isn't about "you only get them after the tier", the bump lets you move into HC/Mythic easier if you get unlucky. Irrespective of procs (that are still in Sanctum) this is getting silly and weapon tokens would fix SO MUCH of this bloat & empty space

This line right here is music to my ears, please let this remain a primary concern for future design across all specs going forward

Players have discovered that a Shaman Talent actually increases damage taken rather than decreases damage taken.

Listen Siege of Org was cool but if that's the choice for the timewalking MoP raid it's truly criminal when Throne of Thunder is RIGHT THERE
With today's PTR build, Blizzard seems to be changing some data entries for Siege of Orgrimmar items, including Heirloom items from Garrosh Hellscream.

So I cleared Nathria tonight, and I honestly will say never have I felt the need to overperform more than this tier. The top to bottom gap (plus the design of the encounters) is bigger than ever. Flat buffs aren't going to shift this, specs need surgical tuning
15
5
163
While class balance might be all over the place one thing I can safely say is the gameplay in this set & the tree for Enh is firmly my favourite version in all 16 years of playing it (topping MoP/WoD).
Feels like everything came together for a 10/10 designed spec.

166
If Wrath is the "natural ending point" to Classic to which there's no reason to do Cata, then Classic was the "natural ending point" and they should've never done TBC or Wrath. Get over yourselves.

The AoE rotation improvements for Enhancement feel overwhelmingly good, it's maybe the best feeling AoE cycle Enhancement has ever had. Unironically.
18

157
Please I beg can we get the option to just straight up turn off other player's spell effects next expansion, the wizards are giving me a migraine.

Really not used to this many consecutive dubs, this might have 9.2 PTR go down as maybe the best iterative cycle the game has had in *years*.
Well done guys, all of you, sincerely.
Blizzard has revealed that Tier Sets will now use Tier Tokens in Patch 9.2, but will drop less overall pieces per boss than on the PTR.

"Is a player not entitled to the talents on their own tree?"
No! says the man at Blizzard, they belong to the Devs
No! says the man at Warcraftlogs, they belong to the Parses
No! says the man in Discord, they belong to the Theorycrafters

"But it's called Enhancement it's in the name!"
Well how come Suvival can die? How come Balance never is? Why does Fury also get two Arms at the same time? Why aren't Guardian Druids in Destiny? HUH?

149
My last thing about the build, but here's an exhaustive explanation about why Enhancement people were annoying everywhere yesterday so people stop pinging me
10
22
145
Enhancement changes are insanely good where did this even come from we were already happy, 10/10 the handful of wrinkles getting removed is sick
12
4
140
Many argued "no it's polished for an Alpha", "no there's no big systems changes!". The talent revamp is the biggest "system change" of all time, the game is struggling with UI rework (extremely risky to launch with that btw), I stand by my original sentiment - DF needs a delay.
14

made it to 8/8 without having to reroll, Enhancement dragged kicking and screaming through Uldir

132
Can't go 5 minutes without seeing some post from "Jeremy the 1trick Frost Mage" or some shit talking about making Enhancement a support spec like, maybe they should make your 1trick spec support instead so you can be useful for once idk leave my safe space alone
16

133
if we're getting our usual nerf for season 1 like we have the last few expansions, can we also get a nerf to the hidden tree affix that keeps blocking my camera in every key?
4
7
131
Ok we've made it to beta and are officially the last class to see zero changes (prospective or otherwise). Sorry in advance if I'm a bit less measured in the test cycle but it kinda doesn't feel ok to not even give a hint of a whisper there's any attention being given here.

The sheer amount of people affected by Reckful's passing should say everything about how much he did for not only the WoW community but so many others. It's a really dark day for me and anyone who's been a part of it over the last decade+. Rest in Peace

"if the community thinks that a spec isn't good, and they don't want to bring them to groups, doesn't matter what our data says internally, we need to work to change that community perception, because otherwise people who play that spec can't play the game"
I have nothing to add

122
Turns out however good of a player you usually are if you pick the wrong covenant, talents, soulbinds, conduits, and press the wrong buttons, you still perform quite badly. Just gonna note that here for future reference.

Remember gang, Shamanistic Rage was too strong to come back to the Shaman tree🙃wait what's this doing here?!

For 10.2 I did a lot of work on
@icyveins
to try and condense the rotation stuff into one section. It also populates notes & tips based on build underneath, part of my overarching goal to make things more digestable. Hope people like it because I know it's been a problem in DF

Ok so hear me out on the double leg (this might be long)
Everyone is going to wake up on patch day & their first experience of Sepulcher will be feeling nerfed (no shards) - double leg was a flagship feature that could alleviate this for free -

Just can't get over how good Enhancement's design managed to become for DF. Been quieter little cos of recovering and a lot because of how much fun I've been having with it, + how little there is to complain about it like god damn.
(Also became a profession fiend a little)

@Sodapoppintv
Hey there , I write the feral guide on Icy Veins and heard that it was getting shitposted on stream and I have put a lot of effort on making sure it's accurate, I'd be happy to discuss what you disagree with on it since it took a lot of time to collate

I'd say something about this but just no point. This is lazy, so feedback and testing seems completely worthless if the solutions that come from it are this generic and ineffective. Like I said on forums, maybe open communication with us instead of feigning it
@WarcraftDevs
Blizzard has announced some upcoming changes for Enhancement Shamans, coming soon to the PTR.

After 5 months I can finally give at least a tentative answer of "how good is WFT" with it going into SimC. Here are gains per spec (obv like it says, YMMV profiles are rough and ready take it as an estimate and remember it's only party wide). Have fun.

It's not very epic that there's still no hero talents for me !!!

Something about M+ this season at all lvls:
Before we had 3 metrics to judge a "good invite" to pug - Spec, Score, Ilvl
Gearing being so easy removed Ilvl from that. You can't trust 440+ = good cos everyone is, so it's just Spec + Score. Not surprising people default to "meta".

I had a few clips I really liked from
@FinalBossTV
tonight, but this one I think really sums up how I feel about Enhancement and BfA in general right now:
12

94
This was long overdue for an update given how rushed the original was, and how far it spread catching it up. Included the Sheet w/ Sims & Data this time if you want to tinker - Windfury Totem Values per spec
6
14
95
Gonna be honest and vent, "we ran out of time" just doesn't cut it. There has been months of time to act upon the feedback or even pretend that you're iterating. The person responsible for Enhancement design should be ashamed to hide behind an excuse for apathy.
17
26
97
Happy that there's finally a patch where I can be 100% positive about everything going on with Enhancement, and hope you like what I put together there - it's been a really busy PTR for us :)
Our Enhancement Shaman Guide Writer has broken down all the changes to Enhancement Shaman in Patch 9.2 regarding AoE, burst, covenants, and legendaries. There's never been a better time to take a chance on Enhance!

BfA was exhausting. In hindsight I did enjoy it, but keeping up with playing and maintaining guides with the constant changes was harder than ever. I'm still proud that I was able to stick it out as Enhancement from start to finish and keep up though (for all but Crucible).

95
Feels like whenever I tweet I'm actually just the grim reaper of "oh yeah turns out there's another Enhancement bug let me bless you with whining" but seems like Windfury Totem isn't applying rank 2 to anyone but the shaman, so only 10% chance, not 20%.
:)

Really, I get you might want 2h enhancement, or tank shaman, fill your boots you keep fighting but that's your fight, just don't flood me w/ demands for it as if it would change anything cos after 15 years of playing this spec it has never been a relevant part of the game.
Sorry

Since we're getting deep into Alpha with no Shaman changes on the horizon, have a feedback post put together by a couple of us about the Enh spec tree that *hopefully* reaches the right eyes:

Last note - the opening few weeks of a raid should be a fun experience, not one that gets so incredibly roadblocked by RNG systems that it pushes even incredibly long term dedicated players to the brink of dropping the game.

After a super long month, finally cleaned up every guide & Disc FAQ to a standard I'm really happy with. Hopefully the improvements help people enjoy the 3 specs when they're doing so well
Now a day off into FINALLY playing a patch Ive had my head in for ages, hope it's a banger

Not seeing any hotfixes so far this week, come on now
@WarcraftDevs
I know you're aware of this, it's a serious issue that in any normal circumstance would be a priority fix, not one that takes over 2 weeks. I really don't want to rake you over the coals but this isn't cricket.
not to stir up any alarm or anything about bugs but er, seems like Maelstrom Weapon spenders may potentially be resetting Main Hand swing timers

My tweet earlier about being fed up with Enh in SL is just me screaming into the void, it's not a cry to cancel Shadowlands or that the game is a mess (and PLEASE don't interpret it as that), it's just that I miss having faith that my spec will get a fair(ish) shake; which is sad

This is the opposite direction

Just wanna echo what people are saying that it's super lame to do a "big surprise patch" but delay it by a day for EU.
Outside of technical reasons, I see no positives in saying that EU poeple had to wait with no info only to have the big reveal ruined at the last minute.

- If it was "you can get X rep a week and you can do it all in a day or over the week" vs. "ok champ time to log in for the day and do your chores" it's infinitely more pallatable. The problem isn't tying power behind it, it's mandating a schedule -

I have nothing but glowing praise not only for dragonriding but most importantly the zone designers who built some excellent vertical spaces to facilitate it. Was kinda skeptical it was tacked on but it's just... cool?

Enh set is sick leans to elementalist which was falling behind in ST but storm can still use it just fine, targets one of if not our best button, actually gameplay warping, synergizes with the kit and itself. Basically perfect design.

Since tuning was posted and it specifically mentioned the Rogue set but NOT Shaman Flurry, gonna post this here *just in case* it’s not fixed in 10.2.7. This is affecting ALL Enhancement players right now on LIVE Dragonflight.
Hopefully though it's just an undocumented fix

Really proud of this (long) article cos it was a chance to be (mostly) positive about the spec I hold closest after arguably the best expansion we've ever seen. Also a love letter to whoever turned out a stellar design despite how harsh feedback can be

2 things:
1 - there's nothing I can criticize, these are good changes, the game really does need these and good job
2 - the time it took has eroded the good will this should earn, because it really has driven people away, I hope not to the degree that they won't return
10

It's exhausting to wake up to even more of this, but I can't in good conscience condone what Finalboss did and am sad & angry to think someone I worked with caused so much pain to someone, and am sorry, I hope that the victim can somehow finally find a bit of closure on this. 1/2
