Enhancement Shamans go two-handed only

Blizzard’s highlights video for Warriors, Rogues and Shamans skipped Enhancement, and the spec’s own short is now out.

Wowhead’s summary of it says Enhancement is built around two-handed weapons only. Rage of the Farseer is a 3-minute cooldown that raises attack speed, Maelstrom Weapon makes Lightning Bolt faster and cheaper to cast, and Mental Quickness adds spell damage and healing based on Intellect. For the party, Enhancement brings Windfury Totem.

Blizzard’s September 24 notes spell it Rage of the Far Seer, a talent in Enhancement’s Row 7, and that build stopped it from raising the Shaman’s spell casting speed.

Our copy of Forever’s client files, build 1.60.1.70170, gives the numbers. Rage of the Farseer, the last talent in the Enhancement tree, adds 30% attack speed for 25 seconds. Maelstrom Weapon gives melee damage a chance to take 4 to 20% (by rank) off the next Lightning Bolt’s cast time and Mana cost, stacking up to five times. Mental Quickness adds spell damage and healing worth up to 15% of Intellect at its first rank and up to 30% at its second. Datamined wowforever.ninja — Forever's client files, build 1.60.1.70170

Why it matters: Enhancement players now get the look at their spec that every other Warrior, Rogue and Shaman spec got in the first video.
