True, while in the moment EleRestoan fill the "bkup" healer role better than Enh(anything even resto), sie gear stats areloser related to healing than Enh. Enh "an" fill the healer role good, IF they are
in the gear that supports it. But in the middle of a battle, sie youan't swap gear out, the elem is already dress for it. That being said, even a Elem needs a seperate of devoted healing gear in order to possibily fill the role of "main healer", sie elem gear stat's isn't enough for heavy duty main healing. But, sie elem and enh are both dps sp's, it reallyomes down to what type of dps you'd prefer doing? Melee? oraster?
Ele is fun. I was Enh to level, and after being disappointed with the sp in the Outlands, I swihed over. While my gear is not great (good, but not great) the averagerit is anywhere from 2000 - 2400 for lightning bolts. I've hit over 2500, but I simply need better gear for bigger and better pew pew. I've bkup healed for Prie in Kara, so you're notompleted gimped in that tree. It's a sp that is really ne from a distae, but sks uplose - so beareful with 1v1s. Honestly, your melee SKS as ele. :)
I've played this sp for aouple of days now. I'm still not sure if it is for me yet. I miss banging it out with a something. For gear I still haven't found mh to help my spellrit but I'll keep working with it a bit longer before I dide if I going to keep the sp.
Oe you start
pking on therit gear with yourrit talents you'll see a huge jump (medire gearompared to medire gear for both sps) from enhae dps. With only 654 spell dmg I was pumping out 2800-3000rit lightning bolts and 3200+hain lightnings. Raid buffed, easily lasted 6-7 minutes without potting up and maintained 600+ dps just from LB spam. Plus it's fun when LO prs in PvP and owns someone with doubleLrits.
