Enhancement Shaman Class Overview

So, here is a brief overview of the shaman class in World of Warcraft. The shaman is a class that is in tune with the world, the environment, and the surroundings. They summon the power of the earth to help protect them in battle. The enhancement specialization of the shaman class is (in my opinion) extremely fun to play, regardless of what you are currently working on. Enhancement focuses on melee damage output (from here on out referred to as DPS, or damage per second). The purpose of enhancement shamans is to get up close and personal with the enemy and do major instant DPS. There are many things to take into consideration when playing enhancement, as there are many different aspects to it. The primary stats that you want to focus on as enhancement for leveling are (not necessarily in order): Agility, Hit rating, Intellect, and Stamina. Agility will greatly boost the amount of DPS you do, while the hit rating will make sure that you are actually able to strike your target. After all, if you can't hit them, you can't hurt them, right? The intellect will not only boost your mana pool, making solo fights easier to last through, but it will also boost up your attack power, because of the enhancement talent tree. Stamina, of course, is to boost your amount of health. The agility will be the primary focus, due to the amount of DPS it adds, as well as the dodge rating, and the critical strike rating. I will be delving more in depth into enhancement shamans, with a specific focus on leveling, raiding, and also into the Player vs. Player side of the game. I should have a new blog entry within the next few days covering the leveling side of enhancement shamans, as well as some brief overviews of restoration and elemental shamans. :)
