Do Shaman has as nice feeling as Monk class?

[Gnome]

Fluidness? Fun mechanism? Or is it like a Rogue?

[QuiksLE]

It is awesome! The pure joy of spamming that Chain lighting and seeing how your screen fills with lightning and how packs of enemies just die.
Simple to learn but hard to master playing style and no mana problems (I just leveled a demo lock to 90 and my god how annoying it is to have 0 mana after 5 casts)

I'd say Monk>Hunter>Shaman for me

[Boreaz]

Loved leveling as enhance, the dmg output was stellar and the self healing ensured I was never even close to dying.
In my opinion, it's a very fluid class that's still fun to play once you reach lvl 90 content.

But my Chain Lightning has 3 sec cooldown? How can you spam it?

You respec to Elemental.

[Gnome]

Elemental better for leveling than Enhancement when you have no heirlooms and such?

It used to be I haven't enjoyed my Shaman since mid Cata

So Shaman has changed a lot since Cata then?

Resto and Enh might have changed some, elemental has stayed the same more or less. Only major difference is the loss of Elemental Mastery (like it used to be pre-MoP at least) and the gain of Ascendancy.

My favourite class, I've been playing it since vanilla...
Fire / frost / nature / arcane gets really boring when they're on their own, the Shaman is a master of all of them (except for arcane )..
Shooting lightning is just... god mode... unique and fun class to play, always a pleasure for me.

I found their leveling speed about the same but for the early levels I much prefer Elemental even though I love end game Enhancement a lot more. The reason being that until you get Maelstrom Charges all you do is walk up to people/mobs use your 2 strikes, an earthshock and sit on your thumbs while waiting for everything to go off cooldown again. End game your rotation is more complex but while leveling most mobs don't live long enough to warrant putting down your totems, dotting them up, popping cd's etc. Maybe people who like pulling 6 mobs at once have a different experience but for the early levels, till you get maelstrom at least, pick Elemental. Try out Enhancement afterwards and see which one you like better. That at least would be my advice. Overall I find Shamans to be a very fun class to play, so much fun in fact that I barely get around to playing/leveling other classes.

Elemental:
pull 5 mobs and 1 elite and chain lightning off the elite. pop AG or cast HS if low on health.

[dryankem]

Chain lightening alone makes playing elemental fun, top that off with lava burst which feels like it hits like a truck plus when your master or echo kicks in you just have to laugh. It's just so much fun.

Now on the healing side MW monks are a more fun to me than resto shamans, if you could combine elemental shaman with MW monk then I would have my perfect class (alright a little shapeshifting from druids could be sprinkled in but I think that's pushing it).

Shaman is my favourite Class since Lich King now. Played a Warrior before and they just murdered the playstyle of that class, but Shaman is and will always be my fav now. Monk is decent, too, so I think someone that likes Monks will also like Shaman.

[Aleksej89]

I found Monks to be one of the worst classes, with very clunky mechanics and annoying needlessly overcomplicated ability rotations.

I would rate Shamans as the most fun class in WoW - while monks i see as the least fun class in wow.

Elemental:
pull 5 mobs and 1 elite and chain lightning off the elite. pop AG or cast HS if low on health.

Enhancement: Pull 10mobs and 1 elite, Flame shock, lava lash, fire nova, the auto hits on the elite should kill it alone. pop Ancestral Guidance and Shamanistic Rage if low on health. :3

Rogue can be fun... You just need gear.

Mutilate feels fluid but combat has always felt janky to me no matter how good or bad my gear is.

Monk bores me to death tbh. So Shaman at least enh and ele are definitely > monk for me.
