Is Enhancement shaman considered top tier for Mythic + Dungeons?

[pmkaboo]

yeah, main a class that is currently good in mythics, and then tremble everytime you look at patch notes and hotfixes.

There are four primary points you should be looking if you're aiming for mythic 15 and on in your class.

1) AoE

Pretty simple, can your class do well at consistent 3-4 target cleave? Bonus points if you can control this AoE in case of panic CC. The big classes here are: Combat rogue, Fire mage, Frost DK, MM Hunter, WW Monk. After that, some second string AoE DPS are Enh shaman, Fury Warrior, Arcane Mage, Demo lock. These classes may be able to keep up with the best at AoE/4 target cleave, however they all bring some downside. When reaching into the high mythic+, Ele Shammies become very very potent due to how their AoE works and the constant 3 targets to chain lightning.

Arms Wars with WW legendary do crazy AoE DPS too. Warrior in our guild got his and with 860 ilvl was breaking 1.5m DPS on Mythic+ packs with it (along with Bladestorm).

No, mage is top, hero + living bomb + cc + crazy burst ST

[Gaidax]

Mage is pretty average actually, living bomb specifically is pretty poor, it looks like it's good and shit until you realize that it does not help you that much to actually bring adds to the point where they die and when you talk about affixes such as necrotic you need those bloody adds dead now rather than later all at once.

Their cc is also pretty meh compared to quite a few classes that bring such things as hard AoE stun that do not break.

For example, as mentioned before Ele Shaman is easily better both in burst and actual meaningful AoE. Heck, I'd even say the likes of Destro warlock are better simply because of Shadowfury, targeted cleave and access to immediate AoE.
