I have an important question, since lightning bolt scales on spell power, do we need to build intelligence to increase its damage ? How does it really work ?

No, you don't need to.

Hi guys,

after recently looking through warcraftlogs i've come to notice that the "Sundering" talent seems to perform really well on single target
fights for many shamans (If you look at the top 10% on Trilliax Heroic its the #1 DPS talent somehow). Im quiet baffled by it to be honest because ive always considered it a trash talent for PvE and it's also described as a pretty bad talent in this guide aswell...is it really better than Crashing Storm right now, am I missing something here?  Anyone has any more insights? Didnt really come to test it in a raid environment yet.

Are you sure you are looking in the right place?

If I choose Windsong, is it worth to macro it to Doom Winds (Artifact ability). And always using both same time, even with 15 seconds "downtime" what Windsong gets, (Windsong is 45sec CD and Doom Winds 60 seconds)? Or should Windsong just be used against cooldown?

Cast WS on cooldown. It has a 20s duration, meaning 5 of the 6 seconds of DW will be with WS anyway.

Bit of a gearing dilemma here.

Earlier today I landed KJ's Burning Wish, however I am rocking Eye of the Twist Nether and Prydaz. Would it be worth it to swap out Prydaz and one of my trinks for KJ's burning wish? Link to profile below.

Definitely. Get rid of frond and pryd, put on your best neck and use Burning Wish.

We are currently in the process of updating our guides in preparation for the release of 7.2 - please understand that we will not be answering questions in this section about "What is better for 7.2?" prior to the patch release, since all the information will be available when the patch goes live. Please be patient and thanks for waiting!

I picked up playing my shaman halfway in 7.2 and it is now my main.

Im focusing on the build using the legendary wrist that increase lava lash by 50%. Should I still hold on to 50-70 maelstrom at all time and not use it on lava lash when available.

I am also considering using rockbiter/winds of fury now that I replaced my t1 talent with hot hands. I am also avoiding overcharge to save mealstrom.

I guess my question is, what specific changes should i focus on with the lava lash 50% dmg increase.

So... i got my Nighthold 4pc, i have that tri-elementalring and I have Akainus. So should I still switch to Hothand/Hailstorm? Feels kinda wrong... feelycraft-wise, you know? :)

Use the first "Raid Encounters" talent setup with Hailstorm instead of AS. Make sure the Lashing Flames debuff doesn't drop.

Will ask if 4-P or double legendary is worth more DPS and let you know.

From Wordup:

You don't touch the HH + Hailstorm build until Lashing Flames, at which point it takes precedent over standard 4pc builds.

Hope this helps! :)

Thank you for the guide !

One question tho. Let's say i'm running the HH/hailstorm build with Akainu legendary. My hailstorm buff is fading but i don't need to use lavalash yet (because i have stormstrike up or i don't know). Can i let hailstorm fade untill i have to use lavalash and do my stormstrikes or should i have 100% uptime with hailstorm (as for flametongue) due to the bonus damages.

PS : Sorry for english mistakes

My guild was telling me to switch to elemental, but my enhancement is currently my highest dps.

I personally want the spec that has the highest dps numbers. With 7.2 and tomb of sargarus coming out, would you know my best spec option.

My assumption is elemental for mythic+ and enh for raid. Plz help

In an ideal world, yes, you look for as high uptime as possible.

This should help:

Actually, rockbiter is been buffed and generates 20 maelstrom, which is a lot. Besides, you shouldn't notice the damage difference between Boulderfist and Rockbiter, due to higher number of executions on rockbiter.

This could change in 7.2.5 - at the moment, it seems there is a 2 charge version of Rockbiter available, which generates 25 Maelstrom. We'll see if it stays that way!

Yeah, apparently rockbitter will be like a 6 sec cd boulderfist, and boulderfist as a talent will only increase damage and decrease cd.

Could be an interesting change to make RB feel a bit more special rather than just an underwhelming filler.

      Here's a collection of hotfixes for Dragonflight, Season of Discovery and Cataclysm Classic for the past week, featuring class tuning in SoD, plenty of Season 4 fixes for retail most focused on items, and plenty more.
      Hotfixes (Source)
      Classes
      Fixed a bug with damage dealt by Rip and Tear, Internal Combustion, and Tear Open Wounds in Awakened raids. Dungeons and Raids
      Raid Finder now required item level 463 if the raid is Awakened. Brackenhide Hollow Addressed an issue where Stinkbreath can turn while casting Stinkbreath. Addressed an issue where Wilted Oak’s Necrotic Breath visual can be out of sync with the creature’s facing. Items
      Veteran track items or items obtained from Awakened Outdoor Activities should now properly be able to be converted into Class Set items at the Revival Catalyst. Resolved multiple issues with Dragonflight Season 4 tier set items not functioning after equipping certain Season 3 set items. Dreambound gear caches from the Dreamsurge Coalesence vendor will now correctly award Season 4 Explorer 1/8 (item level 454 gear) and tokens will properly display the correct item level of its contents. Fixed an issue that prevented Tiered Medallion Setting from functioning on Season 4 necklaces. Fixed an issue preventing Season 4 crests from properly converting to their lower-tier currency. Season 3 (Dreaming) crests are now correctly removed from players’ currency tabs. Players have received a small amount of gold for their unused Dreaming Crests. Players can now earn up to 120 crests of each type per week in Dragonflight Season 4 (was a maximum of 90 per week in Season 3). This will allow for up to 8 upgrades per week, per crest type (was 6 in Season 3). Developers’ notes: For players who don’t reach their maximum crest earnings in a given week, we’ve implemented the increasing-seasonal-cap system from previous seasons. Please note that this increase is likely applicable to Season 4 only. We expect the weekly maximum to return to 90 for The War Within Season One. Quests
      “A Multi-Front Battle” can now be completed. Resolved an issue where abandoning the quest “Something Worth Celebrating” could make it unavailable. Cataclysm Classic
      The dates for Children’s Week have been adjusted so that the holiday begins and ends three days later than previously scheduled. Season of Discovery
      Using an Unconscious Dig Rat no longer dismisses pets. Mage Displacement no longer functions if the most recent use of Blink was on a different continent or in a different instance. Players who have completed the quest “Warranty Claim” but have misplaced their Pristine G-7 C.O.R.E. Processor before handing in the quest “Salvaging the Salvagematic” may now speak with the Lost and Found vendor Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay to recover the misplaced quest item. Fixed a Sunken Temple issue where the Atal’ai Defenders encounter would not reset properly. Druid The Natural Weapons talents now increases all damage done by druids in Season of Discovery, instead of just physical damage. The Gale Winds rune now reduces the mana cost of Hurricane by 60%. Swiftmend no longer consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on the target when used. Developers’ notes: Please note that it does still require Rejuvenation or Regrowth to be on the target to be used. Hunter Rapid Killing now reduces the cooldown of Rapid Fire by 80% (was a reduction of 2 minutes). Chimera Shot weapon damage percent increased to 135% (was 120%). Explosive Shot base damage before attack power increased by 50%. Sniper Training has an additional new effect: while Sniper Training is at 5 stacks, Aimed Shot is instant. Serpent Spread now causes Multi-shot to apply Serpent Sting to its targets for 12 seconds (was 6 seconds). Steady Shot now deals 100% weapon damage (was 75%). Developers’ notes: There are more adjustments coming for Hunters. In general, we intend to improve the ranged playstyle and diminish the melee playstyle so that the two become more equivalent. Paladin Seal of Righteousness damage can now be critical hits. Sacred Shield’s duration is extended to 60 seconds (was 30 seconds). Crusader Strike has now gained an additional effect: Crusader strike now refreshes all judgement effects active on the target to a 30 second remaining duration. Seal of Martyrdom can now “twist” with other seals, including Seal of Command. Developers’ notes: Seal twisting was an interesting emergent effect that became popular during the original Burning Crusade, that utilized the slower server messaging system used in early versions of WoW to slightly extend the duration of the paladin’s active seal for a short time whenever a second seal was cast. This effectively allowed paladins to momentarily gain the benefit of two seals at once if they timed the application of a new seal to line up perfectly just before their weapon swing. We recreated this playstyle in Burning Crusade Classic and since then it’s been a popular request in other versions of original WoW, including Season of Discovery. As the game matures and we continue to listen to player feedback however, we recognize that for some, this is part of the charm and uniqueness of playing a paladin during those early eras of WoW’s history. We consider this change to be experimental and we will watch the performance and behavior of Retribution closely after this change. Priest Shadowform now increases all shadow damage done by 25% (was 15%). Rogue Saber Slash bleed now stacks up to 5 times. Saber Slash bleed now also increases the impact damage done by Sinister Strike and Saber Slash by 15% per stack for the rogue who applied the bleed. Saber Slash bleed now deals 3% of the rogue’s Attack Power in damage per tick (was 5%). Shaman Mental Dexterity now only triggers from dealing damage with Stormstrike and Lava Lash, and it now lasts 30 seconds (was 10 seconds). Burn now increases Flame Shock Damage by 100% and flame shock DoT duration by 6 seconds, and causes Flame Shock to strike up to 5 targets (was 3 targets). Developers’ notes: We’ve received a lot of feedback about the overall usability of mental dexterity, particularly for Elemental Shamans. This ability was not intended to be used by elemental, so the adjustments we’ve made are to help ensure its usage is a bit more enhancement-centric. To compensate, we’ve increased the output and usability of the Burn rune, with a slight quality-of-life improvement in the form of a Flame Shock duration increase which allows two Lava Burst casts to be used within a single Flame Shock duration.

      Next, we're looking at the Priest changes that went live in the second Alpha build. We've got some updates to Discipline's Atonement, and some tweaks to Shadow Priest's Collapsing Void.
      Priest
      Atonement - Power Word: Shield, Flash Heal, Renew, Power Word: Radiance, and Power Word: Life apply Atonement to your target for 15 sec. Your spell damage heals all targets affected by Atonement for 40% 35% of the damage done. Healing increased by 50% 70% when not in a raid. Collapsing Void - Each time Penance damages or heals, Entropic Rift is expanded by 1 yd. After Entropic Rift ends, it collapses, rapidly dealing [ 120% of Spell Power ] Shadow damage up to 8 times to a random enemy, based on how many times it expanded. Each time Penance damages or heals, Entropic Rift is empowered, increasing its damage and size by 20%. After Entropic Rift ends, it collapses, dealing [ 500% of Spell Power ] Shadow damage split between all nearby enemies.
