Tips and tactics

Windfury vs Rockbiter vs Flametongue vs Frostbrand

  • Windfury is by far the best end-game enhancement enchant. It adds a flat +56% boost (talented) to what would be a gear boosted high DPS amount. Windfury is not as good if that DPS amount isn't gear boosted, which is where the other weapon attacks come in.
  • Rockbiter is the poor shaman's best friend. It is only superior in DPS to Windfury (both at level 60) if the base DPS of the shaman was less than 75 (Base DPS = Weapon DPS + Atk power DPS).
  • Flametongue is the elemental shaman's weapon enchant. Does exceptional damage on an incredibly fast 1 hander as the +10% spell damage effect does not scale with weapon speed.
  • Frostbrand is a great enchant for a poorly equipped enhancement shaman or any resto shaman. It procs off of stormstrike, making it acceptable. Its main bonus is its snare, so it is often used by elemental or resto shamans who aren't looking to kill, just to maim.
