to all the nay-sayers of this armor set... you are all abunch of sophomoric noobies. think back, fundamentally to why you play shaman. not because u want to be a badass caster or to be a badass meele toon. No. you play shaman because you have the versatility to do both. you do not waste a raid slot by being versitile as a shaman. the only way to waste a raid slot as a shaman is to be un-versatile. (giving credit to where credit is due to elemental shaman) if you spec totally for elemental.. you limit yourself to casting and waste a raid spot where you could have a mage... the same goes for totally enhance shammys.. this is the best armor set for the tier.. hands down
