I think for precasting lavaburst before flame shock you must be at as far as to the target to attack it.Then flame shock arrives before lava burst,any other range doesn't seem to be enough to be a critical strike of lava burst

As far as I understood the changes, this is not the reason why you precast Lavaburst.

Lavaburst creates more Maelstrom so that the duration of the flameshock is longer compared to a precasted lightning bolt.

Very useful guide, well done. Is there any indication whether there is an advantage using a staff rather than 1h + shield?

There isn't, just item level/stats. Generally staves are easier to obtain.

Working up my rotations in TellMeWhen, and I realized that Totem Mastery is not mentioned at all in the rotations. It's kind of late to bother, but whereabouts does it fall in terms of importance?

I see that Ele Shamans are doing very poor with DPS, on Recount I am always at the bottom of the list with some decent gear and using rotations and CDs as applied... Every other DPS character I own surpasses the ELE Shaman by far...Is there any advice in how to tweak things to run this toon smoother and put out Higher DPS? I know I am asking a question that is hard to answer but were does anyone else stand on this subject?

Thanks

It's a pre-patch... abilities are whack. I'd just suggest patience; see how it comes together at 110 with the artifact weapons. And a couple of tuning patches.

Thanks for updating the guide. You wanted to put some racial sims into it. Any thoughts on which race for the horde will do exceptional well?

All the Horde races are quite good except for Goblin.

The values themselves, most definitely, but the general priority itself is unlikely to shift barring changes to the class itself.

Hi Furty,

maybe it is too much I am asking for, but I am currently a bit irritated.

This is my arsenal link: http://eu.battle.net/wow/de/character/blackhand/Anatoly/simple

My initial talent choice was TM + AS + PE + EM + Asc. Both leveling and doing heroics felt horribly disappointing, it felt very painful.

Then I rechecked Binkensteins guide on Wowhead and he more or less recommends the same talent build like you did:

TM + AS + PE + EM + ASC

Binkenstein calls this the crit-build and says "This crit build is the "best" from a min/max viewpoint, but focuses heavily on getting as much critical strike rating as possible". Stat priority is int > crit (7.2) > haste (6.8) = versatility (6.8) > mastery (5.4)

Then I saw that Binkenstein gave an alternative with a mastery-build:

PoF + Echo + EF + EM + Asc

He says:" The Mastery build isn't the min/maxing best, but has a broader stat distribution plus an important quality of life talent (Echo)". He gives the following stat priority with int > haste (7.2) > versatility (6.8) > mastery (6.5) > crit (5.6).

 

Now comes what causes my concerns.:

Though having many crit-items my dps in heroics is very bad with this crit-build. During trash I am almost always the worst dps, during boss fight cause of my burst I am more or less ok.

Then I tried Binkensteins "mastery-build" and the sun began to shine again. I am doing wonderful both @trash and @boss fights.

Lavasurge is proccing non stop so that even in solo play and world questing this mastery builds feels so much superior to the crit-build.

Now my question is: From which item level on will the crit-build be indeed better than the mastery build? I am currently 839 and should I still collect crit-items

 

Greetings

Checkmate

Hi there!

Thank you for the great, thorough guide, Furty! I like that you also explain about each spells/talents and their ups/downs. I do not know if this was mentioned or not, but I found that Elemental Blast and Icefury are also affected by mastery. I tried playing around EB and noticed that when mastery does proc, the spell gives me another buff; it could potential have all 3 stat buffs at one cast. I was wondering what you think of it?

It isn't directly mentioned in the guide but is accounted for with the respective talent & stat evaluations!

Question about haste cap.

thanks for the quick reply.

Do you know what more benefits we get from haste  ?

`What i know now is ticks for flame shock, the global cd and cast time.

I'm useless as a theory crafter / stat mod :P I'm only here for gold making!  Fingers crossed someone more knowledgable will be along soon

You ideally don't want to "stack" Haste at all, but you should be fine to continue to acquire the stat.

In the BIS-Section is a minor mistake as you gave a leather  wrist. You probably mean the wrists from Xavius

Thanks for the catch.

Path of Flame evaluation is wrong. If you Lava Burst on a target with Flameshock, it spreads the Flameshock which is actually very useful in dungeons.

Nothing to do with Lava Surge.

      The new War Within Allied Races was added to the Alpha today and we already have a full look at not only all their customization options, but their dances as well, courtesy of MrGM! You can check out the Earthen's racial abilities here if you missed them earlier. 
      Let's start with the more dynamic feature, with both male and female dances:
      And then there's big amount of customization options, as well as a size comparison with regular dwarves:

      So, are we liking the new Allied Race overall? More than actual dwarves?

      Here's a really cool possibility for the War Within, as a very subtle and mildly mysterious comment from Executive Producer and Vice President for WoW, Holly Longdale, may be hinting at our Warband characters getting a lot more involved in our travels! 
      First spotted by UlthansWrath, Longdale came up to Taliesin & Evitel at the recent London War Within Alpha press event and had a short chat about the Warband screen, when she casually said "wouldn't it be cool if those were the characters you took as your followers in your Follower Dungeons?" After the obvious confirmation from Taliesin and Evitel that, yes, yes it would be cool, she just said "hm" and that was the end of the conversation.
      Obviously this isn't any sort of official confirmation, but considering this is a really awesome idea, it seems likely Blizzard are at the very least discussing it, if not already working on it.

      The Warband system is already great, and this would add a lot to it for players that choose to go solo into dungeons, as it would give them even more motivation to get some great characters in their Warband - even if it was just a cosmetic option.
      So, what do you think, will we be seeing this feature when the War Within launches?
