Stormstrike is an Enhancementshaman attack that strikes an enemy with both weapons, dealing a total of 1260% physical damage with the main-hand and off-hand weapons.
Stormstrike is not considered a spell, meaning you can still use it even while silenced.
Because Stormstrike deal damage based on the damage range of the equipped weapons regardless of their speed, an enhancement shaman should have always have the slowest possible weapons equipped.
