Respectable DPS while providing a TON of utility to either your group, or even better, everyone else in the raid, is awesome." And raw dps with a bunch of utility is what your enhance will give you ;) A good enhance should be top 5 on single target fights, and be on par or better with everyone but rogues and geared fury wars, and maybe the occasional skilled hunter. “Raw DPS is nice.

For example, we've got a great Arms warrior in our guild who raids with us. His DPS is good for an arms warrior, but we could get someone with more straight DPS in his slot. The attraction to taking him along rather than someone else (apart from the fact that we like him :P) is the +4% physical damage debuff that Arms warriors can throw up. So if he's doing around 600 dps, and is for the most part keeping that debuff up, then the rogue who is doing 800 dps owes about 30 of his DPS to the arms warrior. The hunter doing 1000dps owes about 40 of his DPS to the arms warrior. Add it up, and if there's even 5-6 physical DPSers in the raid, that arms warrior is responsible for anywhere from 200-300 more dps than he is personally doing. In the same way, an Enhancement shaman does the same sort of thing for the DPS in his group. Windfury/strength of earth. Or maybe grace of air if in the group with a tank. Sure, other shamans can drop those totems, but they're both less effective due to spec, and doing so gimps the casting shaman. That's why we'd like to have one or two Enhancement shamans around. Same with ret paladins - all the paladins in the raid could toss up a judgment on the boss, and the ret paladin in melee would keep ALL of the judgments going. Raw DPS is nice.

Although I am -way- under level and not anything close to viable to join you guys I had a question. What are you looking for when you ask for an enhancement shaman? What specificly does enh give you that the others don't? My curiosity comes from my forum inspired belief that people do not really want shamans to do anything other than heal. Dammerung. p.s. oh and to drop the ever lovely WF, GoA, MS etc totems. Fio, I’m a mid level enhance shaman.
