Enhancement Shaman in WoW TBC
Melee
Big yellow crits from a buff you placed yourself — that's the whole appeal.
Difficulty
PvEB–A
PvPModerate
Enhancement dual-wields its way through melee combat while buffing the group with Windfury Totem — doubling the value of every other melee fighter nearby. Watching your own Windfury procs land alongside everyone else's is one of the most satisfying feedback loops in TBC.

- ✓Satisfying proc-based reactive gameplay
Trade-offs
- ✗Personal DPS below dedicated melee specs
