Elemental Shaman 7.3

Recommended Posts

This is guide is great! Thank you for all the time and effort in putting it together.  I was hoping for some clarification on the relics recommended for the Ascendance build.

2.2. Ascendance Build
1. Lava Imbued - 1.10% DPS increase;
2. Molten Blast - 0.73% DPS increase;
3. Call the Thunder - 0.40% DPS increase;
4. Earthen Attunement - 0.38% DPS increase.
5. +1 Weapon Item Level (regardless of trait) - 0.32% DPS increase;
6. Icon Firestorm - 0.30% DPS increase

What exactly does "+1 Weapon Item Level (regardless of trait)" mean? 

Right now I have equipped 865 Storm Relic with Earthen Attunement, 850 Frost Relic Relic with Shamanistic Healing, and 845 Storm Relic Lava Imbued Relic.

Should I replace 850 Frost Relic with Shamanistic Healing with the 840 Molten Blast Frost Relic I have? I also have an 835 Lave Imbued Storm Relic, So I replace my 865 Storm Relic with it since Lava Imbued is higher ranked Earthen Attunement? I guess I'm just not too clear on how much to value item level vs. the trait. Thanks. :)

It means that a +1 item level increase is worth a ~0.32% DPS increase. The other values and their relative percentage increases are comparing equal item levels.

Thanks for the great guide! Has helped me out loads!

 

What I'm having issues with right now though, is where to get my hands on good relics. Nighthold doesn't have a single relic thats among the first or second top relics.

M+ is normally the answer for gear when you can't find top-raid tier stuff.

Why not include the Trinket Notes  Erratic Metronome? but there is BiS

Because the BiS is not your overall BiS. It is your BiS from Nighthold.

Use the free earthquake if your Lava Burst and Elemental Blast are on cooldown and the only button left to push is Lightning Bolt (without POTM).

Thanks for helping to answer! :)

Hello!

Thanks for the great guide and all the work!

I have two questions gerading the different priority lists.

1. totem mastery
In the lightning rod build priority list the refresh of totem mastery has a low priority (just before lightning bolt).
Is the priority in the icefury build similiar low?

2. power of the maelstrom buff
In the ascendance build priority list there is the following line:
Cast Lightning Bolt IconLightning Bolt if IconPower of the Maelstrom is active and Lava Burst IconLava Burst has fewer than 2 charges available.
Should I also rank lightning bolt priority in lightning rod build and icefury build higher, when power of the maelstrom is active?
Should I also combine this with stormkeeper, if CD is ready?

Hey, just want to point out that the description of lightning rod says targets take 30% increased damage from your lightning bolt and chain lightning , although the actual case is that targets effected with the debuff take 40% of all damage you deal with chain lightning and lightning bolt

This is probly a noob question, but my LFR tab shows the nighthold raids (other than the first one) as unavilable when I was looking up where to get my ele shaman gear. Are they walk-in only? Also sorry for the question related but unrelated to ele shaman, just figured id post here because it's for my ele shaman.

They haven't been unlocked yet. LFR wings unlock at a delayed rate when a new raid releases. You'll have to wait a few weeks until you can go in!

If you don't have the belt, use the Icefury build.

While you'll get the most out of the ring with the icefury build, the build is also much more complicated and can be tough to play correctly and get the most out out of.  Elemental blast hits with all three elements and procs all three parts of the ring, so it can be used in any of the builds since ele blast is such a high priority cast for us.

That's also true, I just felt that it was worth pointing them towards the highest result build. Thanks for adding this :)

Will ask Furty, not sure if it is an oversight or there is a reason behind it.

Hi there, did you have a chance to look at this question?

Hello, I have a question about relics. Currently my two Storm relics are an 875 Call the Thunder (Collapsing Epoch +51) and an 865 Lava Imbued (Reverberating Femur +48). Last night I got an 885 The Ground Trembles (Chittering Mandible +53). Which, if either, should I replace? I have the legendary shoulders and belt. Thanks.

Assuming you are running Ascendance - replace the lava imbued with TGT.

Use elemental blast, whenever its off cooldown with ascendance. If you got the legendary ring. gives best results.

Guest Ele Noob

Hey I'm new to Ele and I wanted to know if there is any reason to go beyond 100% mastery.  I assume there isn't, but switching over to Ele from enhance, my enhance gear puts me at 101% right now.  So should I scale that back and focus on crit then?  I'm going Icefury btw.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
