General Information

On this page, you will find tips, tricks, and strategies tailored to your Elemental Shaman for each boss of the following raid: Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible. All our content is updated for World of Warcraft — Dragonflight 10.1.

1.

Introduction

On this page, you will find Elemental Shaman specific information to deal with each Boss in the Aberrus raid.

This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Elemental Shaman and how you can deal with each fight as best as possible.

As a rule of thumb, if you can use those talents, use Healing Stream Totem Icon Healing Stream Totem and Earth Shield Icon Earth Shield during movement when your only alternative is a regular Frost Shock Icon Frost Shock or if you are out of range of the boss for a bit (such as when dropping void zones in a corner).

Demonic Gateway Icon Demonic Gateway, if available (and it almost always should be), helps simplify many movement-heavy mechanics, so adjust your movement cooldown usage depending on what your raid decides to use Demonic Gateway on (also true of Stampeding Roar Icon Stampeding Roar).

We also recommend being very aware of how boss abilities cycle and not using defensive cooldowns or Health consumables. Just because your Health drops low, it is likely that the "dangerous" ability just happened, and you should not take much damage for a while. Try to figure out in advance the situations where you would benefit the most from them, as they are not necessarily best used as "panic buttons." Feel free to cast Healing Surge Icon Healing Surge on yourself (or others) when in doubt.

If you do not want to switch talents with every Boss, the following talent tree is "good enough" to mostly work on every Boss. However, in practice, the bosses are different enough that we strongly recommend using specific builds for each Boss. Therefore, we will give you export codes for each. Bear in mind that between the differences in difficulties, raid compositions and the problems you encounter during the actual raid fights, you should try and switch things around if you believe it would be more appropriate for your situation. Many things are viable right now. Note that you can import this talent tree directly into the game by using the export button.

Lightning and Fire builds are fairly close but are best at slightly different things. Fire has more mobility and more reliable priority target damage, Lightning will do (especially once you drop 4PT29/get 2PT30) more single-target damage and has better AoE burst. Hybrids are possible if you want to experiment.

Kazzara, the Hellforged

You can import one of our recommended talent trees for this Boss directly into the game by copying one of the following strings:

Lightning Build (preferred)

  • BYQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAoVSSJJUSSLRDRJQiEAAAAAgSAJlkgmASLJpFASSCBC

Fire Build

  • BYQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgUSpUSCAJlkUoEUSSSEAAAAAgSAJlkgmASLJpFASSCBC
2.1.

Tips

  • Very straightforward fight, but you will need to move more and more the longer the fight lasts, so as the Boss gets below 40% health, try to use your movement cooldowns sparingly, and always pay attention to the Boss's Energy so you can move immediately out of Hellbeam Icon Hellbeam.
  • If targeted by a Ray of Anguish Icon Ray of Anguish, you can maintain full DPS by simply using Spiritwalker's Grace Icon Spiritwalker's Grace If you can deal with the Ray easily, you could instead, keep it for when the boss starts a Hellbeam Icon Hellbeam in your direction.
  • Wind Rush Totem Icon Wind Rush Totem should work very well to help people targeted with Ray of Anguish Icon Ray of Anguish reposition.
  • MYTHIC ONLY: People targeted by Rays of Anguish Icon Rays of Anguish need to be very careful and move in a predetermined pattern to avoid a ray touching the puddles left behind by other rays.

4.1.

Tips

  • If necessary, holding onto Stormkeeper Icon Stormkeeper should help deal with Erratic Remnant adds easily. Either way, focus them.
  • Wind Rush Totem Icon Wind Rush Totem is very handy to drop on the people getting their Unstable Essence Icon Unstable Essence mass dispelled, so they can quickly move out of the circle. It can also be used to help deal with Massive Slam Icon Massive Slam. It is imperative for the entire raid to get out of the path of the last Boss's Deep Breath Icon Deep Breath, so do not hesitate to drop it even on one person.
  • Gust of Wind Icon Gust of Wind should be available for every Massive Slam Icon Massive Slam.
  • You should probably use a defensive when targeted by Rending Charge Icon Rending Charge.
