Rule 1: "Enchanc" is not a good abbreviation for "enhancement." Don't use chatty shorthand words like "ya" instead of "you."

Rule 6: We don't need the back-story of all the things you read, and what you understood or didn't understand. Just get to the point and ask your question.

Rule 7:

If you had read the "welcome" sticky post, you'd see a couple links to recommended stat priorities for an enhancement shaman.
Why would a shield be a good choice for melee dps? You're deciding between using a weapon, and not using a weapon -- not to mention all the extremely obvious hints Blizzard gives you when you choose the enhancement tree.

Rule 9: Don't sign your posts. We can see who you are in your profile to the left.

Original Post:

Hi all. Although I do run a lvl 80 Lock, in many ways I consider myself that dreadful term: "noob". I just started an Enchanc Shammy. I have reviewed the various forums on here, and although they are quite informative I do not understand at all the mathematical equations, nor some abbreviations such as proc and what not. See, told ya, noob in many senses. Anyways, in starting my new Shammy, Enhancement that he is, I was looking to find out which stats are most important. Based on what I've been reading in these forums so far it sounds like 1) Hit, 2) Crit, and then 3) Exp. Does anybody at all agree with that assessment? Also, shields. Since obviously running for dps, is it better to dw or shield? Thank you very much in advance to those of you laughing at my "noobness", and also to those of you who are going to be kind enough to answer to these questions!

Sincerely,

Dennis Mann.
