1) Introduction
Elemental Shaman is very easy to play once you learn and it could be fun in the same time.We have a really good DMG burst,good off-healing(totems,potions,racial-Draenei).There are a few changes on spells like new ones and old ones who became stronger.
2) Patch Changes 4.3.4 -> 5.4.8
If you were a little bit disappointed on Cataclysm about the Elemental Spec don't worry!This patch it appears to be stronger and having major improvements on spells,glyphs and totems.
-
Lightning Bolt can be casted while moving without using glyph
- Totems are now abilities than attributes assisting you. They will make the difference if you are using them correctly.We have few new totems like :
Windwalk Totem ,
Stormlash Totem ,
Capacitor Totem
-
Flame Shock will help us now obtain
Lava Surge and casting instant
Lava Burst.Our main priority will be to spread
Flame Shock helping us gain more procs of
Lava Surge
- We have
Ascendance as main DPS ability. By using
Spiritwalker's Grace with
Ascendance will help us gain more DPS in encounters with moving because standing and just bursting will be useless
-
Shamanistic Rage : the Elemental spec can use this ability because it's not a talent anymore of the Enhancement spec
- We still have charges on
Lightning Shield (lasts 60 mins now) . If you have it activated once you cast electric spells like
Lightning Bolt,
Chain Lightning will regenerate you mana and it's similar to
Steady Shot from Hunter . At 7 charges of
Lightning Shield we obtain
Fulmination and we cast
Earth Shock having a decent amount of damage
***Another trick of the Elemental is the weapon buff and I recommend using Flametongue Weapon
