I made a shammy and I'm determined I'm going to love her more than my mage when she hits 80 lol. <br /><br />I'm 71 right now and was enhance for leveling but figured I'd go ahead and switch to ele so i could get used to it. I appriciate your post very much because I really didn't know anything about ele shamans :)<br /><br />Was wondering what stats I should stack over others. if you could help me out with that :) Probably a stupid question but just want to make sure I got it right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574352165119565010.post-42713973601131432382009-11-25T11:27:15.731-06:002009-11-25T11:27:15.731-06:00I've been playing a Mage for about a year now....I've been playing a Mage for about a year now. After playing Rogue, DK and Priest it is the most fun i've ever had playing WOW.....that is until I leveled my Shaman. I started off healing(which BTW I hate doing) I was resto for a while and used to laugh at how long it took a Pally to kill me when I stood there and didn't fight back...lol. Then I went elemental and man is he fun now!! I found your blog looking for the proper rotation since I haven't been doing very good dps so far. Thanks for the tips and I will yell back in a couple days and let you know how it's working.<br /><br />OH BTW question.....is SP as important doing elemental as attack power would be? I need some serious Shaman schooling! hahaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574352165119565010.post-21451704635226568532009-09-11T08:06:40.767-05:002009-09-11T08:06:40.767-05:00@Dion said...

I had zero Elemental gear. I've picked up 6 pieces of PVP gear, a Cudgel of Saronite Justice and Venture Co. Lightning Rod. I just went ToC5 normal and did 3300 DPS on the first boss fight. <br /><br />8 slots are still level 70 enhancement gear and my unbuffed spelldamage is 1047 (1601 with flametongue and totem of wrath, 14.7% crit 33 hit lol) so I'm going to say that this isn't lies.<br /><br />You were correct about one thing though, I do love my shaman ;)<br /><br />DionDionhttp://www.wow-blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574352165119565010.post-16445132968238351682009-09-02T12:19:30.232-05:002009-09-02T12:19:30.232-05:00All this Shammy talk bores me.

I know with mine I can almost do as much dps as my elemental shaman, but my mage has worst gear. <br /><br />In a raid situation, Mage's AI and debuffs are worth bring to the raid, plus their DPS is completely sick if geared and know their rotation. Plus they can spellsteal, turn people into turtles, and bring the much loved biscuits!<br /><br />I agree with you some what in 5 mans, but in a raid situation I would want more mages then elemental shaman...but that is just me. <br /><br /><b>@ River and Arioch</b><br /><br />Me <3 Mages long time!<br /><br /><b>@ Anonymous</b><br /><br />The thunderstorm glyph is a minor, not a major glyph.

Just because we can spec to heal or melee, does not mean that a straight dps class (mage, hunter, rogue) should do more dps then us."<br /><br />I was once in a 5-man PUG HHOL with a Naxx-geared Elemental who was flat out a much better player than me. So he blew me out of the water on the damage meters, which was fine, and his totems boosted everyone else's DPS, which was fine, AND, because the group generally outgeared the content, he was able to heal pretty much the entire Loken fight in Ele Spec with DPS gear after the healer died. <br /><br />Even ignoring the whole healing thing (and self-res wipe recovery), the totems alone mean that the group is better off bringing the Shaman over a mage with the same individual DPS. Not a problem in raids, because the totems don't stack beyond the first shaman, but I can't see why I would ever invite any spec of Mage over a comparably geared Ele Shaman to a five-man if it were my group and I had the choice. <br /><br />I guess it's a moot point as long as the raid gear curve trivializes 5-man content. Raid balance demands equal DPS, and most players don't stay in 5-mans long enough to care. And hey, mages were on top last expansion with all the need for CC. Next time out we'll both be crying about how some other class has rendered both of us obsolete. Perhaps there'll be a ton of mobs that are best off-tanked by AOE-immune resistant?Green Armadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564045048380177626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574352165119565010.post-87381053561166582462009-09-01T08:28:29.667-05:002009-09-01T08:28:29.667-05:00@ Anonymous

I am not saying that Earth Shock is a spell you should never use, I am just saying that you shouldn't use it in your regular rotation. <br /><br />In regards to your rotation, I would really suggest you trying to throw in a Chain Lighting in there when it is off cooldown. <br /><br />You should see a big increase in dps as long as you have the mana to support it.WTFspaghettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10304180361553774455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574352165119565010.post-47845072584608228322009-09-01T07:53:22.360-05:002009-09-01T07:53:22.360-05:00I love my elemental sham.
