    I need to know what I am doing wrong!

    29-8 - http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r...um/damageDone/ (5.0.4)
    22-8 - http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r...um/damageDone/

    There are my logs in 5.0.4 and my logs in 4.3. I am not complaining about the changes to Elemental Shaman and the rough patch we are currently experiencing, but rather what I can do to pick up my game. I am currently underperforming like a mofo to basically everyone and I am quite over it. I need to know what I am doing wrong so I can improve.

    Armory - http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...haria/advanced

    Any feedback that is posted is extremely appreciated,
    Thank you.

    From just looking at your armory. You don't have 4 set, which is definitely a reason why your dps may be low. You are also missing a tinker on your gloves, and in general, your gear isn't the greatest at the moment.

    I'm not missing a tinker on my Gloves. I know my gear isn't great but apparently my dps is still meant to be higher.

    This is from the beta changes thread.

    That is your main reason. You should read the 'Doing less dmg as ele' thread as well.

    I have also noticed that you aren't hit capped. Missing your spells can lower your dps very much. Especially if you miss a Flame Shock. Waiting another 5 seconds, without Lava Burst crits can be very lethal.

    The armory doesn't incorporate that I am a Dranei. I am in-fact hit capped. 15.4%.

    Please tell us the reason for your argument "my dps is still meant to be higher".
    Why should it be like that?
    But, rejoice! Only a few weeks until it does not matter anymore!

    Unfortunately, at the moment, Ele is not designed with "dps that are meant to be higher".
    Know your place, mate. ^^

    Pressure from a certain guild-mate telling me I am completely underperforming as an Elemental Shaman. It's kind of annoying and I know we're in a bad spot, and my gear doesn't help either but apparently I'm doing it wrong and I should feel bad.

    Why should you feel bad over something terrible serious as playing a game? Because some "guild-mate" tells you?
    Link him to some ele shaman threads, it's pre expansion patch which are known for imbalances.

    And I suggest you find other mates who don't tell you should be feeling bad but in stead help you...
