Looking at the complaints from the enhance players I can really understand the frustrations with the spec.
I don't think shamans would complain if ferals, rets, fury wars etc were sitting with similar dps to enhance.
In Wotlk it was not really a issue, enhance shamans were taken to a raid because they brought a unique buff and hopefully the player behind the screen knew what he was doing with the spec too.
The biggest problem in cataclysm is enhance shamans don't bring any buffs that can't be catered for
by other class/specs now. As dps figures become larger so the 5-10% hyrbid tax looks more pronounced.
Leaving GMs and Raid leaders asking themselves if there is a need to bring this enhance in if I can bring
in another ret/fury/dk etc etc.
However the issue that all enhance shamans are getting there backs up about now is the fact that other hybrid classes are doing as much if not more then pure dps classes atm and initial 85 beta raid tests.
Why does it feel that shamans are the only class that is paying the hybrid tax?
