Elemental Shamans have a combination of consistent damage, interrupts,
disruption, and mobility. The playstyle focuses on setting
up burst damage while controlling the positioning of the match. Elemental
Shaman's class design that mainly contributes to this is
Voltaic Blaze,
Lava Surge,
Stormkeeper,
Earth Shock, and
Lightning Lasso.
For the Season 1 launch, Elemental Shaman received a few changes that leads to higher
burst with
Earth Shock, and a massive burst of damage when the enemy healer
dispels
Flame Shock.
