Patch Day Coming!

Are you ready? Are you excited? I don't know what I am to be honest. I'm not pure melee, I'm not Str gems, I'm not even sure if I'm in the right gear. I've got a few pieces of caster gear and a few pieces of extra mail in the bank--including an extra pair of Gloves of the Forgotten Protector stashed away in case I need ele gear, at least it'll be T6.

I'm mostly worried about weapons. Should I have been saving up my badges for a caster off-hand that I can imbue with Flametongue for the extra casting kick? I seem to recall that I have an extra Amani Punisher saved up from a ZA run somewhere... but now that I look at it I see it's a freakin MH weapon. So basically I'm completely unprepared for tomorrow as far as weapons go. Great. Looks like into heroic MgT I go looking for a caster weapon.

I'm scanning the Enhancement Shaman thread at Elitist Jerks right now and I hope to have some summary and answers for the Enhancement crowd out there without having to wade through 123 pages of forums posts.

The best thing I found is the ShockAndAwe mod. Go and download this now. In the words of the author: "ShockAndAwe displays timer bars for Shocks, Stormstrike, Windfury (internal CD), Maelstrom Weapon, Lava Lash, Lava Burst, and your shield. It optionally shows number of orbs on left shield, stacks of MW, advises of next shock in rotation."

I'm also running some EnhSim calculations tonight to try and get optimize the following 4 areas:
1) Spec
2) Weapons & Weapon buffs
3) Gear/Chants/Gems (i.e. Enhancement Points)
4) Spell rotations

When I have results and answers I'll post what I find. Any suggestions that are working for your Enhancement Shamans are most welcome.
