Heads up don’t use ice fury above 2 targets unless you are trying to prio damage or for movement. Also always make sure you get the fire spell after so it procs Fusion.
Also chain lighting on 2 targets. Remember overload is still just 35% more damage where as chain lighting hits both targets for basically lighting bolt damage. Unless there’s some reason you want more maelstrom it would be a dps loss. And now that I think about it it’s even more of a loss now. We basically guarantee overloads with high mastery+ storm tree, so an extra overload means even less in 2 target cleave.
@@owlknight9081if chain lightening is just lightening bold hitting more targets damage wise, then why would you even put lightning bolt on your bar outside of tempest procs?? Chain does not do the same damage as bolt or else no one would be using it, one less button bloat.
This guide was crazy. It completely got me up to speed with my rotations, and I now have so much more of an understanding of how to play Elemental. Incredible. My damage output has almost doubled.
Hey something that helped me a lot was changing 6 7 8 on my bar to Q E R because those binds don't do anything important. That made 3 more abilities easy to click
Use 1,2,3,4,5. And Q,E,R,F,V. For offensive And if you can use all these with shift again, Shift+1 shift+2 shift+q..... for totems, def cd, Bl etc. And try to put skills that you use often on 1-3 and q,e sorry for my english im german :D
this is the first vid i've seen from you (I got curious about the Ele shaman fiasco going on rn) and you are so much more in depth than people 5 times your size. Def earned a sub!
If we are talking ST, probably mostly for raid, I would really recommend Aftershock instead of Surge of power. Both are super viable but especially with the intense movement we have in Nerub-ar, having your build be more forgiving in terms of order is great and has improved my damage on bosses like Bloodbound Horror by quite a lot!
Thank you for going through the rotation slowly, button by button. I’ve seen content creators pop bloodlust and just go ape shit when trying to show the rotation like I need to see the damage potential lol it’s much easier to learn it starting slowly
I tried your build.. and WOW its so much better to use. I tried the wowhead build. tried my own build was terrible.. but this one legit doubled my dps compared to any of the other builds I tried. thank u so much! huge difference! went from struggling to do 5-6 keys and can comfortably do 8-9 keys! You also explain it. made all the sense I never understood!
I ran a sim but to be fair I have low Haste ( 10 ) and low Mas ( 30 ) so if you had the stats at the right numbers maybe the new build from the experts would be better but this build sims higher for me. I do not think people should put him down for thinking outside of the box and if he and others enjoy this build then good cause in the end having fun and competitive for the keys your doing is all that matters.
Thanks a lot for the Video, it´s amazing. But i have one question. Are you using a different weapon buff or the shaman fire buff on your weapon? I think a Oil is better than the fire shaman buff rigth?
I was wondering if you'd be willing to do another ele shaman rotation build it seems there is a new setup for mythic+/raid. I've been struggling understand it fully and your previous videos have been a great help!
@@nickross76 In AOE packs, use Icefury to generate Maelstrom... I'd use Icefury as soon as it procs, but you don't necessarily have to use the frost shocks afterwards until you've cleared some other priority buttons. I side of Ascendance windows, basically don't use Icefury unless you're on single target.
This build seems a lot more interesting but even in your video you have 3m with surge of power and 3.5 (spike at 5) with after shock. You said surge is the way to go. Is it because when you are off cd you make more damage?
@@Hassan-tp9pf Surge tends to be more consistent in ST Anson these AOE packs, the surge of power buff isn't even being utilized at all... You need at least 6 targets for a surge of power chain lightning to gain value and there's only 5 dummies here.
At the beginning of the video, when u open your character info and mouseover an stat it shows information about the rating lost, penalty, etc. Is it a WA or an addon? what is it named?
Thank you Zuco, you are awesome. Question, is deeply rooted actually worth it? It seems so pathetic, it procced once for you, for me it seems to proc at the worst time. I more annoyed by it than actually enjoying it.
So what's the stat order we need because I used to focus on mastery then I read mastery was bad and we needed more haste... now I'm seeing mastery again I'm so lost.
So in the beginning of the patch we wanted literally 0 mastery. However with this new patch mastery is our new main stat. In the video he said we want like 50% mastery, I don't know if we need THAT much but as much mastery as you can is the better route.
Again people commenting on how wrong zuco is because he’s not copy pasting top player builds like a scrub, he’s making his own play style up if you don’t like it dont that’s your problem no need to bad comment his posts all the time.
I mean giving some advise that isn’t correct is not great… that’s like making a mage guide and saying “hey I just cast frost bolt only”. Hyperbole for sure but providing bad advice should usually be pointed out at the very least to inspire discussion and introspection.
Standard elitist jerk comments we have all learnt to hate about the game.. I agree with you mate. Play how you want to play, not how elitist jerks expect you to play. Thank god they brought in delves, no more having to deal with the elite.
My 590 shaman is doing more dps than my 616 lock. Ironically i was getting mastery and haste gear because I thought it was like dragonflight lol so I inherently set myself up for success.
Is it just me, or was it a really d**k move from Blizzard to change the stat priority in the middle of a season and not with a season restart? As far as I know, Ele shaman had a Crit + Haste priority, and now you have Mastery + Haste. I really wanted to try my Shammy after the update, but when I logged in and I realized my mastery is like 18% and I need to recraft all the items and change my previously BiS gear to grow a lot of mastery (+ 32% at least based on Zuco), I just rage quited the game... Like WTF Blizzard?
This is true, but this is definitely a viable build, and probably preferable to your average pug player. I started running a very similar build myself, and it pumps hard. A couple reasons for this are a lot of people despise running Echoes talent (myself included) this frees up some points. Also I got rid of Elemental Equilibrium. I just know I’m not gonna be great at tracking when it’s available, and it just feels awkward AF trying to work Icefury in just to get a 10 sec buff in AoE. It’s also nice to have LMT up to start every pull during all the downtime while Ascendance is on cool down. The builds on the guides are optimal, but something like this just feels cleaner to play and are still doing bonkers damage. Also in the super high keys they are a lot better at lining up huge pulls specifically for something like Ascendance. Your average pug is not going to always have that, so having some more tools on the smaller average plus when Asc. is down just feels better to me.
The other builds work much better in higher keys (like 12+), because the mobs last a lot longer, so you can get value out of Echoes... The build I'm showing here also works on those higher keys, but prob does a bit less dmg. But on the lower keys, this simpler build works very well.
Ascendance is broken and does not send the Flame shocks or Lavabursts on multiple targets, so if you are trying to get the haste buff from consuming your prim wave, you wanna still use LMT to spread some Flame shocks. Not sure how it will work if they ever decide to fix Ascendance (specifically weather you’ll wanna drop it before Ascendance or not), but I still like LMT to open with on all the pulls that you don’t have Ascendance.
@@owlknight9081 I mean I used it throughout the 9sand 10s I was doing the past couple days and was still easily pulling 3-4M DPS on normal packs with no coolies and 7-8M with major cooldowns. That’s plenty for my keys. If by “not great” you mean “not the build that the guides are saying” or “not the perfectly optimal builds that Petko and Bond are playing” then sure. But I explained why I like it for MY build. Not sure why you insist on commenting negatively on everyone’s comments. People are allowed to play different builds bud.

@@rmvanravesteijn It's not... This is the correct rotation for this build and this build works very well in M+...

Its def worth it... You gotta be ready for when it procs, but if you are, it's really strong. Getting Tempest procs inside of Ascendance is bonkers.
