I don't really understand. Did you choose Elemental Blast as a talent?

on your opener if you have elemental blast shouldn't you use that at the pull instead of lightning bolt?  Gives you a short time of buffed Lava bolt spam.  Was also thinking that precasting earthquake would be beneficial as well cause of mastery and that.  Not sure though.  Just a thought.

Good suggestion, I added Earthquake to the opening sequence. Elemental Blast was already in it, but you must have missed it tongue.png

hello.

i have 2 questions.

first, why Earthquake is in checklist of the single target rotation, and why only if you are in full tier 16 heroic gear. Is there any bonus with Earthquake in tier 16hc??

second, why aren't gems with intelect in gems list (i mean red gem).

The Earthquake thingie is extremely complex. Purge tried to explain it to me, but honestly, I didn't quite get it all. Basically, the more Multistrike you have on your gear, compared to Haste and Mastery, the less interesting it becomes to cast Earthquake. At Level 90, there is only one trinket with Multistrike, so you cast Earthquake in your single-target rotation. At level 100, you start getting a lot of Multistrike and there is a point where it will no longer be worth it to keep casting Earthquake in single-target rotation. I'm dreading the moment I have to put this into words in the guide :p

 

Regarding gems, it's because you only get +5 Intellect when you get +10 of any secondary stats. So, when 1 Intellect > 1 Secondary Stat, it does not mean that 1 Intellect > 2 Secondary Stat.

Hi there!  I'm not seeing anything about stat caps.  Can I get a heads up on when I should stop with Mastery/Haste/Crit?

Hey there.

 

Is there any informations concerning stat weights for elemental shaman to be able to build a BiS list for WOD raids ?

I can see the stat priority but can't define a real stat weight.

Hey, thanks for the guide.

 

Are you waiting for more time at 100 before offering an opinion on the tier 7 talents? Just wondering if that's an oversight or something not covered by the current guide.

I contacted our reviewer a bit late, so he's still working on the review, but I'm hoping to have the guide updated tomorrow.

Please Help -

 

I am Currently a 100 elemental shaman with 628 iLvl

I have 8.15% crit

+110.05% Haste

82.92% Mastery

Multistrike 30.52%

Versatility 2.90%

 

I feel that my Current Single target dps is garbage and i dont know if it is the class or if im doing something wrong, i feel that my damage output is very sparatic, i find that on some dps pulls i am doing anywhere from 8k - 23k dps and aoe im doing around 28k-45k is there something special that i am missing from my Single target dps rotation that may help stabalize my dps output on a single target boss and not have it be so all over the place, thanks in advanced.

At point 5.1 you forgot that now Lava burst generates charges of lighting shield with the new upgraded shield!

Note that you should always prioritise casting wow_icon_spell_shaman_lavaburst.jpgLava Burst over consuming your charges of wow_icon_spell_nature_lightningshield.jpLightning Shield with wow_icon_spell_nature_earthshock.jpgEarth Shock, even if you have 17 charges. Indeed, Lava Burst does not generate extra charges of Lightning Shield, so you will never run the risk of wasting a charge of Lightning Shield when you cast Lava Burst

 

Isn't this wrong thanks to the Draenor Perk Improved Lightning Shield. I thought Improved Lightning Shield gives our Lava Burst a chance to create a fulmination charge.

You guys are absolutely right! I added some explanations to say that this was no longer true. Note that the rotation already accounted for the change, it's just that we forgot to update that particular paragraph smile.png

In section 4 of the rotation guide "Cooldown Usage" it mentions using "Magma Totem" depending on the situation, I think the only situation would be that you are in the wrong spec... This is the elemental shaman guide.... right?

As Gorac, I have the same ilvl and compared with my enhancement role... I deal like way less damages, my DPS is far under the enhancement  one.

I don't get it. Plus the boss are always grabbing me, asking me to move and all, it makes the elemental really uncomfortable compared with the enhancement one...

 

Any advice please? smile.png

somehow i am in doubt about crit being as good a mastery/haste for damage, as our best and most cast is always crit (lave burst). can you explain it to me? i would think mastery above crit as it can multistrike and you already have a nice base crit chance of 10% with party buffs.

 

they said they are going to buff shaman dps, but dident say how yet. so there might be changes in the near future for the rotation if its not a pure damage increase on our spells.

      Here we are taking a look at the very first week of Season 4. Mythic+ didn't have quite the same level of upheaval as raids, but it did get a new dungeon rotation and some class changes, so let's dive into the results.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      Augmentation and Fire continue their ever-struggle at the top, with the Evoker coming out on top, just barely. The top 3 basically remained unchanged from last season, with Shadow sticking to bronze, but we do see a change immediately after that, with Destruction rising 4 spots. Outlaw remains stable as well, only droping  one spot, but we have a big change beneath it, as Frost Mage busts 10 spots up to claim 6th. Subtlety is climbing its way back from the very low 19th it sat in during Season 3, claiming the most-improved award with its 12 spot leap! Elemental gained 5 spots in 8th, while Arms is one of only two specs that remained stable in the top 10, followed by Demonology losing 3 spots in 10th. The two A's of Affliction and Assassination still find themselves down in the bottom 3, this time joined by a different Hunter, as Survival takes Marksmanship's place.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      Fire holds on to it's throne in the generalist bracket, holding both Augmentation and Shadow at bay. Subtlety sits even higher here, moving 11 spots up into 5th, just behind its fellow Rogue, which remains stable in 4th. The Warlocks join the Rogues in pairing up, with Destruction moving a huge 14 spaces up into 6th! Frost Mage is also much improved, and we find two Fyr'alath wielders at the end of the top 10.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Destruction makes its way to the very top in the raw DPS charts, gaining 6 spots and eclipsing its fellow Warlock. Shadow makes a small one spot move up, while Beast Mastery makes a huge one, 10 spots up in 4th, followed by an equally impressive Elemental with 7 up. We find the former No.1 down in 6th, followed by a rising Windwalker and Marksmanship, with the Hunter gaining 11 spots. Frost Mage "only" gains 8, just ahead of Arms, which closes out the top 10. We have three A's at the bottom here, but that's just due to Augmentation's logging errors, so it's actually Frost DK that joins the bottom 3.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      The tanks are quite stable as usual, but we do see Blood take 2nd away from Paladin, and that's pretty much it. Vengeance pulls even further away, as it continues to dominate.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Healers actually got some class tuning with the new season, and we see a new No.1 as a result, with Druid coming out on top. Paladin and Preservation are also much-improved, both moving 2 spots up, which is a very big move with only 7 specs present. Shaman finds its way to the bottom, joined by Holy Priest, as both find themselves on the losing side of that 2-spot jump.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      Another Trading Post rotation has come, as May brings a lot of flower-themed items, two mounts, two pets, a butterfly back customization, and a lot more. MrGM dives into everything in the Trading Post, including the returning items that were skipped in the official preview.
      The Amber Skitterfly is a little bugged in the game at the moment, as it throws up a Lua error when selecting it (with players even reporting not receiving the mount when buying it), but there's plenty more to get, from the Royal Swarmer mount, to a pretty cool cape, and plenty of returning cosmetics as well.
      And if you missed it and prefer images instead, you can also check out the official preview here.

      Grimtusk Fishing Hole, one of the requirements to unlock Taivan, is available this week on live servers!
      Players who are working on unlocking Good Boy's Leash probably know the Grimtusk Fishing Hole has not been available since the first week of Patch 10.2.6. However, it is available now for the whole week, so you can complete it to get credit towards Taking From Nature.

      Head to the Fyrakk Assault area in Azure Span (59 34) and complete the Net Worth quest offered by Gruff Fisher.
      If you can't see the quest chances are you don't have access to Ice Fishing.
      I'm not really an avid fisher myself, but one player suggests you should have the Secret Fishing Spots  first before completing this quest, but those farming Taivan will possibly know.
      Ice Fishing (available at Renown 6 with Iskaara Tuskarr) requires you to craft an Iskaaran Ice Axe. To do that, you must loot Pickaxe Blade at 19 24 in Azure Span. If you're using TomTom here are the exact coords where you'll find the item:
      /way #2024 19 24
      Check the Wowhead comments section for more details.

      Players on live servers are experiencing issues upgrading their legendary weapons to item level 502 after using the scale. Blizzard has acknowledged the bug and is actively working on a fix, though it may take some time to implement.
      (Source)
      Just used my Scale to upgrade Fyr’alath for season 4 and I can’t upgrade it past 4/14 Awakened. The upgrade NPC believes it isn’t eligible.
      We’re working on this as a priority issue. The fix is going to take some time to implement, however.
      Thank you for your patience.

      Blizzard have clarified that the recent concern over addon limitations in Patch 10.2.7 is merely a bug and is being worked on. 
      RP Addons (Source)
      it’s looking like in 10.2.7 PTR the addon comms (something primarily used for addons like the insanely popular addon TRP3 used by Roleplayers) is going to be severely rate-limited server-side, making them effectively unusable. This is going to disproportionately affect the RP community and Blizzard should have communicated this much earlier in the development cycle.
      The author of TRP3 has stated they have been looking for a solution but as of right now, there won’t be one come patch day which will kill the addon and many other addons as well. Blizzard, please roll back these changes! 
      We’ve identified the bug causing this issue on the PTR, and we’re actively investigating solutions to address it in a future build.
