I'm an 844 enhance shaman and I've been trying to wrap my head around how enhance AoE can be so awful.
Unless I'm completely missing something I don't understand why they would make the enhance AoE so useless.
Crash Lightning does mediocre damage at best making it barely worth using. The real issue I have is with the cleave damage that SS and LL do after Crash Lightning is cast. Aside from always having to perfectly face yourself so the mobs are actually in a cone area in front of you, the cleave damage that SS and LL do is so low it's practically negligible. It would be one thing if the Crash Lightning buff would cause SS and LL to do half of their normal damage to all targets in the area, compared to the tickle of damage it does now. At that point enhance AoE might be even the slightest bit competitive.
I just can't understand why they would make enhance AoE so awful when classes like Demon Hunters, Rogues, Death Knights and Monks can all do insanely high AoE as well as super high single target burst/sustain.
I'm wondering if I should just reroll to a different class because Enhance doesn't seem to be able to compete with most of the other melee classes in AoE or single target. Even when I'm fighting a boss and getting insane SS procs I still lose to the other melee classes.
