I'm waiting for the reasons behind the sudden drop in damage and mastery for enhancement shamans. Where has the damage shifted to in order to compensate? If any shamans notices when the patch goes up, please post in this thread and let me know -_-

I really wouldn't stress about weapon attack or spell damage numbers going up or down at this stage in beta. It's hard to know if arbitrary number going up by 20% is a buff or not relative to how you are on live.

If you think you have a pretty good feel for how the various DPS specs are performing relative to each other on beta, then you might be able to draw some conclusions based on number tweaking, but my suspicion is that not many beta testers are in that boat quite yet. Hopefully you'll see things start to stabilize soon.

Remember, our goal is that your DPS should be about the same when you log into 5.0, though some abilities may shift up or down.
