Tips on the feral part of a feral/enh shaman combo

Question

Heyho all :)

Over the course of the last season I got a little alt happy - started off as a Veng DH, then onto an Arms Warrior, dabbled with a balance druid, hunter and finally went to a Shaman (the class I originally had back in vanilla). When 9.1 landed I made the decision to main my Shaman. Resto is great for when I want to do dungeons and Elemental good fun for regular PvE and the odd random BG.

I quite often play with a mate who's stayed pretty much exclusively with his Enhancement Shaman (though dabbled a bit with Ret Pally) and am finding that my shaman doesn't really line up that well with the way Enhancement works - like quite a few classes I need "wind up time" by which point he's normally mullered whatever I was casting at... We normally end up doing a fair bit of unrated PvP, so I've re-specced my druid to Feral as I understand this works a lot better as a double dps combo.

So in short, I'm after a few tips on playing feral in PvP, ideally in combination with an Enhancement Shaman :)

If you play convoke your gameplay will revolve around getting off clean convokes and using it to force cds until they don’t have any left to respond with.

If you play necro, it’s more about maintaining uptime on all your bleeds, using frenzy every time off cd for your burst.

You need kick pressure.

I play enha with a feral mate in 2s at 2.1k. Not being able to dispel shackle makes it a lot tougher to survive with our comp.

Your shamans utility game needs to be on point. Pretremor against priests running towards you, ground shackle/mind games or whatever scares you.

There is no shame in lining damage :D

Both of you can heal but there is no point facing a winged ret, or a warrior with avatar on. You can't outheal it without running oom! If you cant run you should have thorns on whoever is getting blasted, kite and prepare for next go.

Static field totem is my mvp Talent for lining. Usually gives enough time to line dmg and the feral can follow up with a cc if needed.

Other than that you should line up your doomwind goes with frenzy/convoke as feral will usually bash and maim before his go, which is nice for your enha to smash. Dont be afraid to go all in for a kill, this is a fast meta. You pop, you win.

My Partner has a necro and nf kitty, both are super fun to play with!

Thanks! Loads of information in here to digest :) Sounds like it should still work a lot better than the other combinations we've tried.
