ok, good counters for the sham are EXACTLY as mentioned above...
lol, but tell u what...the only problem u never noticed is...have u ever had a sham SNEAK u?
thats when mages go into DEEP DEEP shit
enhancement as i've played it always is meant to be an assasin's dream...just wait and murder...(i kno it sounds melodramatic but when u feel it at the higher lvls, u'll agree with me)
the main problem with mages is that they tend to focus (and duh rightly) on keeping their enemies in range and single mindedly strike him to death...
so, in a duel i'll give it to a mage, he has a distinct upper-hand what given his crits and stuff
but, in a BG, the mage will get SMASHED...reason being he'll never see u dart out from behind that tree, purge on the go, reach him in a matter of 1-2 secs and when u land that huge smash with that stormstrike and then WF crits...wow a mack truck will feel like a feather...thats the main thing...
THATS where the diff lies...
the enhancement isnt meant to be a warrior stly spec where u can just stand blinking for 20seconds and still lose only half ur health...its more cunning and damage in 5 secs and wipe spec...i am not kidding and honestly i can tell u, i literally 1 shot mages in the BG...(ok, thats unfair...lets say 1 button...stormstrike)
in that windswept moment, given decent armor and stuff u'll have enuf buffs to proc that WF crit (keep crit rates high) and wow they'll be DEAD bfore they kno it...
mages CURSE enhc shams for that wipe ability trust me...
but honestly i've faced only noob mages in duels who never once counterspelt or did the neat blink and strike thing...
yea, when ur up against skill like that, :) enjoy, its the game that matters, killing is only a part of it :P
i'll be MUCH delighted to hear what the mage here has to say about this and his takes on countering his own stratagem
