Elemental Shaman Guide for 6.0

[Deleted]

I have put together a guide for 6.0.2 with as much info as possible, I covered abilities, stats, stat priority, Glyphs and Rotation.

This is not a finished article as when WoD is released some things are bound to change or improve and I will make an update guide for level 100 raiding Ele Shaman.

I hope I did the guide justice.

Oh so unleashed flame and EQ are now part of singletarget rotation? Never used unleashed and EQ only on multiple targets...

I know you choose talents according to what works best for you, but not picking echo of the elements is very strange to me. It works fantastic as it is now and i currently see it as one of the best talents in the whole game. Without it i would not enjoy my shaman as much as i currently do. But to each his own

The title is very misleading

Echo of the Elements is a DPS loss.

Echo of the Elements is not good at level 90 but hopefully be improved at 100 as Rahdik said its a dps loss now and Elemental Mastery is better. Lets hopef EotE gets a big buff!

It's a pre-patch bro, scaling co-coefficients always change during pre-patches. It's so when you level a new toon in warlords, get it to 90 and think "heueu im gonna use these blue ilvl 650 items ^^" you don't have 90% haste.

I hear lots of people saying that Earthquake is in the single target rotation and Echo is a DPS loss but I haven't seen any proof of that. Can someone link please? Thank you.

Well, i may be losing some dps with Echo, but for me It's about having fun, and Echo is a fantastic talent that i would never change. It simply makes my shaman much more fun to play. CD on elemental mastery is way to high i think.

And besides. I will focus on PvP in WoD so i think Echo will be perfect there.

Can you give me an example for which part? Things will change later when WoD released and being level 100 so things wont be 100% absolute.

Explain how it is fun ? it is clunky, does not work that well and procs at the wrong time 90% of the time ?

So could someone make priolist/rotation for it.

Currenty i have it

Flameshock up
EB
LB
ES +12 stack
EQ
LB

Should i throw UE on it and change that priolist? Ofc keep Searing down

Fairly sure ES and EQ are both above LvB, but EQ might be just below depending on gear. TBH i'd suggest just not playing EQ above LB regardless cause it wont be in single target in tier 17.

Flameshock / ES relationship is easier now, because you can FS at 10 seconds so with both of them being higher priority u just need to make sure u don't waste charges / let flameshock drop ever. I'm also fairly sure eb is below lvb so...

Flameshock juggle
ES
Searing Totem
LvB
EB
EQ
LB

I don't know if UE makes it in to straight single target or not (would be surprised) if so you would want to use it on flameshock as much as possible because it hits harder than lvb.

Current priority list is:

0) UF if Unleashed Fury talent is taken
1) Maintain Flame Shock
2) ES @ 15
3) Lava Burst
4) Earthquake
5) Elemental Blast if EB taken
6) Re-drop Searing totem
7) Lightning Bolt

Damage per cast of the spell goes more like:

1) Searing Totem
2) ES @ 15
3) Flame Shock
4) Earthquake
5) Lava Burst
6) EB
7) Lightning Bolt

Unleash Flame doesn't make it into single-target on live at the moment. It does on beta if you have the elemental fusion talent (Full EF stacked Flame Shock nets you more damage on the flame shock than you'd get from a lightning bolt.)

If searing totem is our highest DPET it should be up the top of priority no ? Because of how easy it is (10 second window) to manage flame shock now I put it as the top but realistically it should just be cast inside that window whenever you would use lightning bolt instead or such that it does not impede your next ES. I put those two at the highest because I Think shock juggling is our highest priority and everything else comes after that it's just that it is harder to put in a list. Searing totem has to either be first or after shock management, but really they should rarely conflict to much extent.

Long story short searing totem can't be your second lowest priority if it is ur highest damage per cast time ?
