Elemental Shaman's Apex Talents, while powerful, have no effect on their gameplay, they simply provide a large passive damage increase.

The Midnight Season 1 Tier Set, Shaman Elemental 12.0 Class Set 2pc and Shaman Elemental 12.0 Class Set 4pc, has no effect on our rotation whatsoever as there is no reasonable way to buff our third Stormkeeper cast aside from following our regular rotation.

You can find that on the rotation page for a more detailed and optimized version of the priority list.

Note that the ideal Elemental Shaman priorities differ depending on how many targets you are fighting. This is an approximative "overall" list. For more accurate priority lists for every situation, please refer to the Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities page.

1. Cast Stormkeeper.
2. Cast Voltaic Blaze
3. Cast Ascendance, sync it with on-use trinkets, Bloodlust, Light's Potential.
4. Cast Tempest Make sure to pay attention to its procs as it replaces Lightning Bolt.
5. Cast Earthquake.
6. Cast Chain Lightning.

Elemental Shaman's Apex Talents have no effect on their gameplay, they provide only passive damage increases.

Short version: It has very limited uses as a new Elemental player.

We recommend against using the Single-button Rotation feature except maybe if you have never played Elemental at all and are off-speccing it for the first time, or are using a level boosted Shaman. In those cases only, it can initially help giving you an idea of the "rhythm" of how Elemental plays, but the built-in GCD penalty is a massive DPS loss. Beyond those basics relying on that button will prevent you from learning how to actually play the specialization, and your damage will be lower.

The Button Highlight feature does not incur a built-in GCD penalty, and is a more reasonable in-between, especially as a fresh Elemental practicing on target dummies or in trivial content. That being said, it is also worse than doing a "proper" rotation, as it will regularly give you bad advice. Finally, it requires you to stare at your action bar and lose focus on your combat environment, which can lead to many mistakes.
