Shaman PVP stats prio?

[Deleted]

I'm interested in enh and ele.
Tried look for answer at aj.com, but couldnt find any.

Thank You for any help.

There is a guide in aj and it says Multistrike > Crit for ele, forgot the order of the rest.
Idk about enh.

Reroll asap > resto shaman > int > versatility/mastery > other secondaries

[Blithe]

Elemental: Intellect > Multistrike > Crit >= Haste > Mastery > Versatility
Enhancement: Agility > Versatility > Haste> Mastery > Multistrike > Crit

Not sure about Restoration.

This is funny ele is currently the 2nd highest ranged dps class in game. But for main stat Intel > spell power 2ndary stat multi strike > crit = haste > versatility

I would definitely put Boomkins, Shadow Priests, Frost Mages, and perhaps Aff. Locks over Elemental at the moment.

Are we still talking about that shaman?

Question for enhancement stat prio: why haste over mastery or crit? Haste is ok if you have lots or uptime on target (which happens in pve but hardly in PvP) but mastery makes up for bigger shock / LL damage and crit affects, melee attacks, spells and (off) heals. situationally, these two stats seem to be better than haste.

Edit Just wanted to bump this thread from yesterday. I would like to know the reason for the stat prios stated above.
Edit2: I have checked AJ and got my answer: Reduced CD of SS and 'somewhat better scaling in pvp' scenarios compared to crit/mastery. I guess more SS is useful, although if you are using offhealing alot in your gameplay, crit could be a viable option as it does affect heals.

go resto
ele gets destroyed in a sec in pvp and ench doesnt offer enough dmg and utility

A classes sustained non-movement DPS is very important when evaluating a specs viability in PvP.

I'd personally favour Haste over Crit if you did want to play Elemental in PvP.

Are those stat values pvp-adjusted or just the pve values?

Because if you know the pve values (actual values, not just the x > y ranking ^^) you'd need to half the values for crit and multistrike in pvp, as crit's bonus damage is halved and ms can only proc half as much, due to it being one X% roll instead of 2.

I just made the unpleasant realization yesterday with my Sv hunter, where in PvE Ms and Crit are quite high up, but the priorities change completely once you adjust it for pvp. ^^

Although that may differ a bit if you have mechanics that are influenced by crit or multistrike, e.g. fire or frost mage getting pyro procs from crit or ffb procs from multistrike, making those stats still somewhat decent, depsite the reduced pure dps value of them.

PvP values. Elemental's is 100% correct even if both Multistrike and Crit are nerfed; Enhancement's I'd change around as I was using Vanguards' stat priority at the time. Now I'm using Tactics' which seems to be a lot better - Haste > Mastery > Versatility > Multistrike > Crit.

Yeah, Haste and Crit are basically equal for Elemental. It just depends on what you prefer doing.
