Elemental Shaman PvP Best Arena Compositions (Shadowlands / 9.2)

Last updated on Feb 27, 2022 at 06:29 by Tiqqle 4 comments

Now that you have the correct talents and understand your damage rotation, it is time to step into the arena with your team. Elemental Shamans have multiple burst cooldowns with unrelenting sustained damage. Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Elemental Shaman (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).

2v2 Arena

Elemental Shaman are a mid-tier caster for 2v2 due to Stormkeeper Icon Stormkeeper's burst and Lightning Lasso Icon Lightning Lasso's crowd-control and damage.

The general strategy is to use crowd control on the healer while using Stormkeeper Icon Stormkeeper with Echoing Shock Icon Echoing Shock and Earth Shock Icon Earth Shock burst, and Lightning Lasso Icon Lightning Lasso on the DPS target to create significant pressure. Using the above burst rotation into Lightning Lasso will force the enemy team to use cooldowns and eventually lead to a kill. Lightning Lasso Icon Lightning Lasso can also be used as a defensive cooldown to help you kite and reposition.

Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:

3v3 Arena

Elemental Shaman's role in 3v3 Arena is to burst through the use of Stormkeeper Icon Stormkeeper along with Echoing Shock Icon Echoing Shock and Earth Shock Icon Earth Shock to line up damage with their teammates. Elemental Shaman also provides overall pressure through Lava Burst Icon Lava Burst and spreading Flame Shock Icon Flame Shock with Primordial Wave Icon Primordial Wave. It also provides utility to the team by interrupting the enemy with Wind Shear Icon Wind Shear, and by using totems like Grounding Totem Icon Grounding Totem and Tremor Totem Icon Tremor Totem to stop the enemy team's crowd control.

Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:
