I still disagree with this. From all my tests iv done, there more dps from Syphon in the MH assuming SS only when WF can proc. I thought all the tests id seen on here also said this.

A few people noticed. After testing it seems it's just a character sheet display error.

A question I have right now though is if I should keep my dragonstrike or go with RT/Syphon. I know the haste proc is huge in figuring out dps numbers but am I at the point where the stats gained from rt will outweigh the proc buff?

Crazy Shaman's DPS & AEP calculator (c) Yo

I have all of the "best" weapon combos and in game testing as well as sims have always had Dragonstrike above any other MH weapon for me. I don't understand your "at the point" statement because it's not like haste has a constant value, it gets more valuable as your other stats increase as well.

And a big WTF to ret paladins, clearly we are not bitching enough. S3 gear has been out for what, 2 weeks? Glad that stuff is getting changed for them.

I'm wondering if Flame shock is better than Earth shock without Coe and Scorch.
In the calculation I can't figure out what the 18/36 are from. Misery for earch shock, that's 5, where do the other 13 come from? Same thing for Flame shock, 13+5+15=33? Where do the extra 3 come from. Also, is Stormstrike included in that calculation?
On a different topic, I read the note about Searing totem in the original post, but it only mention the 2.3 version. Is it worth using currently?

13% is Malediction-ed CoE
5% is Misery
15% is Scorch

20% Stormstrike is included in ES

Searing Totem is worth using right now because we don't have a lot of places to spend mana anyway, if you don't twist totems.

I wouldn't put too much faith in Yo's modelling of Dragonstrike, it's pretty optimistic on proc uptime.

You don't even have to think about it in terms of other buffs on the mob. If there is -anyone- else using your Stormstrike nature charges, you're better off waiting to earth shock till storm strike is off the mob, so you may as well cast flame shock instead.

If you use disqodice and would like some input on the display of the watershield component, I'm looking for help and would appreciate it if people would stop by here:

How would you do this? - Not code help, I want design suggestions

Hello fellow shamans,
i would like to add my two words of wisdom.

Be careful with your new gear addition. Don't vendor your old one, unless it is an exact upgrade of stats. But if your new gear has different stats, like not agi and critical strike but agi and hit rating or haste rating, better keep them both as you cant tell when you will go lower in hit rating or critical or any, with the constant upgrade in your gear.
And no calculator or AEP can figure that out for you. Stats are good to weight but you should look your overall stats when deciding your current gear. Keep all different epics in your bank, it wont hurt. Going below 125-140 in hit rating is bad, going below 28% (without feral druid in raid) or 25% (with feral druid in raid) is also bad. These numbers are empirical and are my base crit stats, accompanied with 2 mongooses. So keep your blue crit trinkets and your old hit rating epic gear in bank,. You will have situations you will really need to stir that big soup of epics to make a nice viable combo of gear.

I would also like to agree with some posts, 14 talent points in resto are essential for maximizing your dps. But to maximize dps in long raid battles, means that you need also cheaper mana costs for totems and for shocks. Thats why i really use 5 points in totems (or 3 and rest 2 in improved reincarnation ) and remaining talent points in elemental tree for even cheaper shocks. Also Totemic Mastery is a must as its your only weapon against fear outranging your tremor tick rate.

A good end raid enhancement spec is http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/shaman/talents.html?2000000000000000000005050021250213353115105005301000000000000
that cheap shocks that can make him use stormstrike and shocks max possible time in dps fight.

For 2.3 i can say some things i encountered.

We never go out of mana even if we nuke for 10minutes. The Shamanistic focus is overpowered as between 6seconds of shock cooldown you will crit at least 2-3 times. That means you have constant 60% cheaper shocks to use.The part of the talent of mental quickness that refers to 6% cheaper shocks is obsolete and should be removed.
In my opinion, i won;t post it at blizzard forums :P, there should be a stackable buff from your melee criticals, that reduces the mana cost of shocks from a low discount to a high discount. That would be nice and reasonable.

PS. For the Darkmoon card : Crusade i would like to add that it creates two stackable buffs on the Enhancement shaman. One is your AP and one is for your Spelldmg. Even with 6second Shocks i have had situations where i stacked up all the spelldmg bonus from this trinket (80spelldmg), u merely need 60seconds , or 10 shocks without 2 being resisted continuously. Thats why i would like you to reconsider the AEP of this trinket and add something more to it.

Exactly what you said here before hasn't been mentioned about 2 million times in the thread?

If you're summarizing things, please say so. You're acting as if you're talking about something none of us has ever thought about or experienced.
