Elemental Shaman Leveling

The points are not spent in the correct order, you can't take unrelenting calamity yet because you've only spent 6 points before that but unrelenting doesn't unlock until 8 points are spent. You have to take primordial fury and flflow of power before you can move on.

 I had us path to Lava Surge before I changed my mind which is why I forgot to readapt the tree properly. You indeed have to take Primordial Fury & Flow of Power (or lava surge) before Unrelenting Calamity. Because of the latest round of hotfixes however, this leveling build will change for DF release.

Am I understanding this correct that it's not ideal to cast Lava Burst while leveling?  Because below is what the level up rotation is listed as.  Or was Lava Burst left out of the leveling rotation in error?  Thanks!

 

1. Keep  Lightning Shield active on yourself (out of combat)
2. Apply  Flame Shock if it is absent
3. Cast  Earth Shock if Maelstrom is 90 or greater; or 50 or greater if you have  Master of the Elements's buff.
4. Cast  Earth Shock if Maelstrom is 60 or greater.
5. Cast  Lightning Bolt as a filler on a single target.

I forgot to account for the new level unlocks, meaning you'd only see lava burst show up when you move the slider at the top of the page to level 11. 

Note that because of the new hotfixes, this build is being updated. There are a lot of things that are strong and viable and you may prefer picking other talents.
