Not to be "that guy" but shamans are kinda garbage atm.. unless you intend to heal late-game or be essentially an auto-turret in pve.

in pvp elemental/enhance are both nonexistent and resto is subpar at best compared to any other healer

in pve I don't think anyone goes enhance, elemental has become incredibly boring as far as rotation goes and again you can pretty much do way better in heals as any other class.

if you want to enjoy lategame I highly recommend just starting over on a new character or boosting something.

Uhhh we have a shaman pulling 24k dps at ilvl 650 so I don't see how they suck late game....

Numbers are subjective without logs.

To OP, you can either painfully hope for buffs to become fotm, or switch classes.

Shamans aren't really great compared to most other classes.

ele and enhance are definitely viable pve, one of my guilds highest dps is an ele shaman

I wouldn't take anything skrimbles said seriously

This.

Enhance does crazy numbers on the high cleave fights and are almost mandatory.

They are "ok" at tanking, solid at raid healing, and one of the stronger DPS but are getting nerfed pretty much every hotfix. Once BRF comes out WW is probably going to be broken as fuck with their 4p and that set bonus will likely be nerfed very quickly. In terms of PvP brewmaster is annoying as fuck and does damage while also doing quit a bit of shielding and such. And MW is still decent but I wouldn't consider top tier with how strong druids are still.

Nevermind that, Enh is #1 in 2s
and
Ele is #4 in 3s for Europe atm.

But yea, they feel weak. All depends on your playstyle though as always. IMO rsham is the jack of all trades best healer in pvp.

OP: Use enh to level. It's a lot better than standing still casting imo

Obv use resto off spec for quick dungeon qeues.

for many they kinda feel like target dummies, you need a proper team to do well with shammys imo.
