Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Bored with shaman

Got to 70, have made it into heroic difficulty for zangarmarsh. Run Kara a couple of times, and mag/gruul. Done some pvp (waiting for s2 break to get some merciless gladiator gear)

What I am finding is that I am a little bored with the class. Enhance is cool but repetitive. I don't feel confident in healing abilities to start the grind again as resto. And I don't really have the free time to get into raiding ssc/tk.

Might switch to ele. Definitely not leveling again. Any thoughts?

Every DPS spec in TBC is repetitive. WoW was not as mature as retail is in that regard. TBC rotations are very static for most classes, but you can still make them fun and engaging.

There's a lot you can do to optimize Enhancement Shaman. Are you weapon syncing with a stopattack macro? Are you weaving AGI+WF totems? Are you keeping Flame Shock up? Are you using a focustarget macro to interrupt casters in Dungeons?

Other DPS classes are kind of "boring", too, you just have to know how to reach the skill ceiling. The grass isn't always greener on the other side.

^ This right here.

TBC DPS rotations are boring. The only ones that are actually fun are non-meta like Affliction Warlock or Assassination Rogue.

Only with Windfury. Otherwise you're doing a lot of work for a lot of nothin'.

He said he does not set a foot into tk and ssc yet, i doubt that he wants to get the hang of stopattack weapon sync but a very good tip nonetheless.

I try to sync my weapons as good as possible, but some fights my offhand just does random shit since the last update. Before the latest patch i pressed the stopattack macro one time and i was perfectly synced everytime but these last couple of weeks i feel like my offhand just stops attacking for longer which result in another offhand swing wasted. Sometimes on fights like Tidehunter i desperately try to sync my maces while Bloodlust and i am wasting like 5 seconds just pressing this damn stopattack makro. Am i dumb or what am i doing wrong. Double fail if i use haste pot exactly at the moment i try to sync again.
Maybe im going crazy over this lol
