#showtooltip fire elemental /cleartarget /cast fire elemental /targetlasttarget to have the boss as a target and cast fire ele without it pulling the boss
I"m new to shaman. the problem I have with most guides is they assume your level 100+,. As you level do your dungeons it would be nice to have more focus on that. Its still a useful guide, and I'm playing around with things to seeing what happens :)
best rotation I've found was Elemental Blast, flameshock, lava burst, ice fury, frost shocks, stormkeeper, lightning bolts, and at most you only have to cast one lightning bolt filler before one of the big four (lava burst, ice fury, stormkeeper or elemental blast) is off cooldown. This is particularly true if you have the Eye of the Twisting Nether legendary.
I do get the stat part, but in the end, I wear what drops so that never is exactly or even close to those numbers....especially if you want to switch ;)
One thing I don't understand is without reforging how can you possibly play around with the stat ratios unless you have a ton of gear to swap out until you get it just right?
Thanks for the videos and your work on SE&L. You mentioned that you SHOULD cast EB and ES in Asc. I was under the impression that you should not. Am I wrong in that belief for did something change? Thanks again!
You always EB'd during asc for the stats increase, but now that the maelstrom cap is 125, it makes it worth it to ES during Ascendance, because it does more damage. ES does more damage the more maelstrom
Thanks for the guide, however i dont understand #6 in that list. Why would you earthshock at 111 Maelstrom if you've got no Lava Surge procs? Can't you fit another lightning bolt in for higher earth shock damage?
increase in Haste, Overload chance of LB and CL, Flameshock damage increase and maelstrom generation. All these things make it more powerfull then Path of flame. but it can be better if you have 86% mastery. Just Sim yourself to make sure what works best for you.
Love this guide. Really helps a lot. So icefury is viable again. sweet. Does anyone know if there is BiS list ( or a guideline on what gear to pursuit)?
What is the best moment to cast earth shock? I use a weakaura, should I follow that blindly? I am using icefury myself, I feel that is the most fun playstyle. I do have the legendary gloves, I do like them, eventhouhg it still is RnG, and sometimes they proc at incovenient moments (usually when I need to run, that's why sometimes I hesitate as well with either Icefury or Earthshock, since I know I probably need to walk soon (e.g. Pillars at Goroth or Unbound Chaos with Avatar). Or do I just cast it, and forget about the gloves?
When I have 100ms + LSurge + EB ready, wich one do I use first, or did I made an rotation mistake earlier. Same for when I have 100ms + EB rdy. I would quess EB>ES. And whit 100ms I use ES before using my Lsurge proq? Also Im using your rotation weakaura's but when I'm hearing the thundersound am I too late dumping ms?
I don't know if I missed it in your video but when in ascendance do you not want to cast earth shock when capped on maelstrom or elemental blast to renew the buff? Or do we just want to cast lava burst in ascendance?
In this video you mention for Ascendance build Priority: Mastery >= Critical Strike > Versatility >> Haste, but on your website under Stats and Gear you have Priority: Haste >> Mastery > Critical Strike >>> Versatility for the Ascendance build when you have the gloves + Belt ledengdary. Those are completely two different Priorities. Is it focusing on the legendaries or do you need to update the website or this video with the correct priorities?
the stats vary vastly depending on tier set and legendaries. The ones in this video were given with no legendaries but once we did more digging we found 100s of different potential priorities so we just set it up on the site for the most popular set ups
Hey Naesam, thanks for the videos! just quick question as it's not super clear on the website, but is icefury now "technically" the best spec? once you get comfortable with it that is
I've noticed that during pull and ascendance I've been getting PotM procs immediately, to where it will fall off during ascendance. What should I do when this happens?
keep going with your ascendance rotation, usually you'll get another proc of PotM during that window, and if you're unlucky and you don't get it, you would still lose damage if you were to SK +3x LB during ascendance
I am moving from resto to elemental and your video is very helpful. I have a question. I just looked and I have 103% mastery, does that mean I should spec out of totem mastery?
copy that, I still have mostly resto stat pieces on so that's why my mastery is very high. I need to up my crit and vers. Thank you for the quick reply.
i really dont get it, i have the 4p t20 and when i sim myself they told me to have pretty all the stats =(like mastery 21, crit 20, haste 20 vers 19.75) but when i check your video, you recommend to have very low haste whatever the build you suggest, my haste is really good on my characther, but sims say that its still very good even if i have already good haste on him, something wrong? must i trust you or simcraft?
can you help me? simulationcraft keeps telling me that mastery is the stats that i should priorize even i having 65% mastery, should i ignore pawn and start to increase my haste and critical ? actualy im 25% crit, 23% haste and 65% mastery, what i should do?
So... with the nerf to our new legendary... Shaman Elemental Damage of all abilities increased by 3%. Smoldering Heart proc chance is now 10% per 100 Maelstrom spent (was 20%). I really doubt it'll be BiS anymore
With mastery food buff i'm getting to 86% mastery, what should i use now? still path of flame or Totem mastery? Presuming in tos due to new items might lose some mastery i guess totem mastery will be better for ascendance, but if i manage to reach 85-86% mastery again wich one should i go for ?
After the Earthshock buff, you do always use it over earthquake right? Even on high haste phases? what do you think about the buffs to Ele will it make us viable?
Every class is viable. Every class. There is no class that can't do mythics, and do them well. There will usually always be 3 people or 4 with 5-8% more dps than you, these are the try hards, that spend allot of time and grinding to perfect their character. The top raiding guilds have every spec in them, every spec is viable. Sure, you may not be top dps, but it doesn't matter. Shamans usually obtain a spot in a serious raiding guild, because only two people wear mail armor :)
Yes haste no longer scales with earthquake so you'll never use it on ST anymore. Ele will be capable of clearing all content, probably not gonna be in any world first kills for much but certainly still able to clear.
Yeah i think too.... I've tried it out and you just can't burst anyone below 50%... if you do , you have to waste legit everything and you have to be lucky that you dont get cc'd or someone just walks up to you
11/29 - This video is no longer accurate, my new guide can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/dhuqcXqJYzI/v-deo.html
Simcraft not released for 7.2.5 - and not 7.3
Naesam stat ratio is now updated and simcraft aswell
Thanks for keeping us up to date, appreciate all the hard work that goes into this ;)
appreciate all the hard work
Thanks for the PvE Guidance senpai. I know not of the current meta of Elemental... but I shall learn!
You can pop fire ele w/o a target if you don't want to pull the boss during pre pot phase.

peanut butter, mmmmm
thank you, been 2 years since i played wow in general, like 2.5 years playing shaman, so yeh useful
I like your videos but I literally have to soundproof my room and turn up my volume all the way just to barely hear you
working on getting new mic because this one had 1 too many incidents with the chair
Do appreciate you putting these videos together don't get me wrong. Youve helped me to massively improve my ele play, keep doing what ur doing !

ok but how was legion 3 years ago... feeling old in my youth xD
I do get the stat part, but in the end, I wear what drops so that never is exactly or even close to those numbers....especially if you want to switch ;)
My question is .. how the fck did you get a Death Knight Legendary as a shaman?????
One thing I don't understand is without reforging how can you possibly play around with the stat ratios unless you have a ton of gear to swap out until you get it just right?

i dont get the stat ratios. before it was always 75-85% mastery now its better to have 50%mastery 50crit% ? so 75% is not a desired goal anymore?
Is there an updated list of bis legos? Also, now that EQ and ES have been buffed, is the shoulder/feet combo good (as in competitive) again?
SEL has a bis legendary list including all possible combinations of legendaries
Spider bit your mic FeelsBadMan :gun:
Thanks for the guide, however i dont understand #6 in that list. Why would you earthshock at 111 Maelstrom if you've got no Lava Surge procs? Can't you fit another lightning bolt in for higher earth shock damage?
after shock and leg boots? after earth shock buff just seems stronger
what are your thoughts on the tomb trinkets? which are good which not? or do we need a trinket out of m+?
I am sure you mentioned this in one of your videos, but what is your screen/addon setup?
i'm confused, judging from the patch notes, why would any rotations/builds change exactly from the last patch?
Why Totem Mastery and not Path of flame ? That does increase the dmg of lava burst if i remember corectly.
increase in Haste, Overload chance of LB and CL, Flameshock damage increase and maelstrom generation. All these things make it more powerfull then Path of flame. but it can be better if you have 86% mastery. Just Sim yourself to make sure what works best for you.

And whit 100ms I use ES before using my Lsurge proq?
Also Im using your rotation weakaura's but when I'm hearing the thundersound am I too late dumping ms?
thx a lot of help
what about trinkets in ToS.. they seem dogshit. are we really forced to play the arcano loterry?
So according to icy veins we only cast lava burst with 2 charges, so do we always cast 2 in a row, why not on cd? Thanjs
What addon are you using to keep track of the flameshock timer and the stormkeeper stacks?
Probably WeakAuras
you must have some huge hands to have keybindings like shift+7
What addon is that to show his maelstrom and CDs and shit in the middle above his cast bar?
Little question, I just started a shaman and am doing shit dps in dungeons. Is this normal until we unlock chain lightning and other aoe?
I don't know if I missed it in your video but when in ascendance do you not want to cast earth shock when capped on maelstrom or elemental blast to renew the buff? Or do we just want to cast lava burst in ascendance?
still use ES and EB in ascendance
what gives you the always-on enchants in your hands?
In this video you mention for Ascendance build Priority: Mastery >= Critical Strike > Versatility >> Haste, but on your website under Stats and Gear you have Priority: Haste >> Mastery > Critical Strike >>> Versatility for the Ascendance build when you have the gloves + Belt ledengdary.

Hey Naesam, thanks for the videos! just quick question as it's not super clear on the website, but is icefury now "technically" the best spec? once you get comfortable with it that is
Do you have a link to your weak auras?
Looks like they reversed the buff to frostshock already???
I've noticed that during pull and ascendance I've been getting PotM procs immediately, to where it will fall off during ascendance. What should I do when this happens?
keep going with your ascendance rotation, usually you'll get another proc of PotM during that window, and if you're unlucky and you don't get it, you would still lose damage if you were to SK +3x LB during ascendance
If your mic is low I'd consider not using a music track in the video :D
I am moving from resto to elemental and your video is very helpful. I have a question. I just looked and I have 103% mastery, does that mean I should spec out of totem mastery?
you should do everything you can to lower that mastery, anything over 86.5% is basically half value and anything over 100% is completely useless
copy that, I still have mostly resto stat pieces on so that's why my mastery is very high. I need to up my crit and vers. Thank you for the quick reply.
icy vein say in ASCENDANCE stats first haste > crit =mastery > versa, this is real???
i really dont get it, i have the 4p t20 and when i sim myself they told me to have pretty all the stats =(like mastery 21, crit 20, haste 20 vers 19.75) but when i check your video, you recommend to have very low haste whatever the build you suggest, my haste is really good on my characther, but sims say that its still very good even if i have already good haste on him, something wrong? must i trust you or simcraft?
Trust simcraft, I can only give a very general ratio that doesn't include specific legendary set ups.
with t20 do we still cast fire elemental 3/4 s before pull ?
can you help me? simulationcraft keeps telling me that mastery is the stats that i should priorize even i having 65% mastery, should i ignore pawn and start to increase my haste and critical ? actualy im 25% crit, 23% haste and 65% mastery, what i should do?
There is no stats ratio for Ascendance or priority...
What is it that shows your ilvl/gem sockets for each piece of gear?
oGear
Awesome, thanks. And appreciate all the work you guys are doing, interesting to see how we'll be performing come ToS..
Is this still a viable video for Mplus?
Who else thought UA-cam had changed to plus 1.5 speed.
what UI addon is that?
What neck enchant should I be using?
what build i should use in Mage tower challenge?
why do some people run path of flame?
So... with the nerf to our new legendary...
Shaman
Elemental
Damage of all abilities increased by 3%.
Smoldering Heart proc chance is now 10% per 100 Maelstrom spent (was 20%).
I really doubt it'll be BiS anymore
It's still bis
With mastery food buff i'm getting to 86% mastery, what should i use now? still path of flame or Totem mastery? Presuming in tos due to new items might lose some mastery i guess totem mastery will be better for ascendance, but if i manage to reach 85-86% mastery again wich one should i go for ?
Obviously the one benefiting more from mastery... path of flame.
After the Earthshock buff, you do always use it over earthquake right? Even on high haste phases?

Can add a link for you auras
Mmmm... peanut butter! =)
excuse me sir, you seem to have a DK legendary on your shaman? xD wut
you saw nothing
Virtually never technically better?
it's often very close but very rarely actually overtakes AS
How about in Mythic+ now that Earthquake doesn't scale with haste?
AS has a large lead in aoe
Which AS? :P
As=/=Asc
great video just dont really enjoy all the hiss in the background :|
wasted a Forstshock there ;)
i cant see the stats so bad qualy
recorded, rendered and uploaded in the highest quality allowed
thx
How and why the fuck did you have a DK leggy
Voice too soft mate.
Matt Brackenbury house music too strong.
Ele seems really weak right now.
Yeah i think too.... I've tried it out and you just can't burst anyone below 50%... if you do , you have to waste legit everything and you have to be lucky that you dont get cc'd or someone just walks up to you
Dude speak up, aside from that good video man but you definitely need to talk ALOT louder
You need to slow down and pronounce words smoothly when you speak, thanks for the guide but unwatchable.
first
This guy got first 2 hours before the video was live. The rest of you really need to step up your game
Damn, second? :D
Great vid mate! All that's left is a list of bis leggos for each build.
