Best Talents in Patch 9.1 for Elemental Shaman

There are no changes to Elemental's talents in 9.1.

3.

Best Legendary in Patch 9.1 for Elemental Shaman

No real change although you will unfortunately want to recraft your legendaries so they are not taking a Domination Armor slot. Only the new Night Fae legendary Seeds of Rampant Growth Icon Seeds of Rampant Growth is worth crafting if you joined that Covenant.

Best Covenant in Patch 9.1 for Elemental Shaman

Necrolord and Night Fae are excellent in most situations, the overall difference in power is tiny and we recommend making your own decision based on how you like their abilities, cosmetics...
