Arkey - 85 Elemental Shaman PvP

Twin Peaks Weekend: The Movie!
Some Cataclysm lvl 85 elemental shaman PvP.
Some simple PvP clips from random BGs enjoyable by any wow player from any background.
I felt like there weren't many elemental shaman clips enjoyable by anyone. My videos up to now have been aimed at shamans players. Hopefully more people will understand how good and fun elemental shamans are :]
I made this video mostly for the lolz, I'll still be making for PvP tip videos.
Thanx for watching!

This was patch 4.3, the last patch of cataclysm. Every new xpac, the haste on gear DROPS and bolts are much slower to cast. This is one of the reasons why elemental becomes so much better later in every xpac.

[@arkeylol]

Instant ghost wolf is required as an ele shaman. As a resto shaman, you could also decide to go wind shear spec instead of ghost wolf spec, which is also good, depending on the comp you're facing. And yes, you need that PvP trinket for arena, (unless you're a human). You'll understand how powerful it is once you get stuck in a 30 sec cc chain :] For RBGs, you could decide not to use it, but it's a gamble =/ if they go for you, you'll die.

[@ELREYY415]

OMG finally ivefound an ELE shammy that makes videos! your are my idol sirrrr!!! :D What do you use for recording your videos?

[@arkeylol]

If you're talking about rated BGs, then resto > ele > enh. Most groups won't take you as an enh shammy, because you're an easy kill target in close range. If you're just looking for some fun, both, ele and enh are really good and fun to play (once you're fully geared). It comes down to which play style you're looking for, melee or ranged?

[@arkeylol]

Prime: Flame Shock, Lava Burst, Unleashed Lightning Major: Stoneclaw, Hex, Thunder Those are pretty much the best ones Thanx for watching! :D

[@arkeylol]

Right now, all my elemental videos are pretty outdated, but I will be working very hard on some solid pvp guides when MoP comes out. Stay tuned!

[@QuxwiB]

I noticed you use chain lightning alot. I personal think lightning bolt is way more effective. I try not to use chain if there is no more then 2 ++ ppl standing close you know. But anyway great video man :) Keep the good work up

[@Stark-sk7vg]

I miss old days whenWoW was playable in pvp without all those pve scrubs . now game is all about pve casuals scums.....

[@Amplifymagic]

really cool vid bro, u inspired me to grind for that red glad set i never finished back in the day. Also damn dwarves look pimp in epic gear + plus dat casting animation.

[@Lavaburstinsccrubs]

Hey, out of curiosity, you seem to have alot of spell haste but still have your master proc all the time, what are you going for stat wise? With my ele ive been going with all mastery but idk, still relativley new with him. Would really like a responce :)

[@mateuszwielk7210]

hi, can u tell me what is this extra 8slot bar under ur talents? is it some addon?cause i know Gundorix has it aswell.what addons are u using for BG's?

[@IBrycius]

And what does that power aura that's half circles of fire to the sides of you mean?

[@EnhancePromod]

Hi can you tell me some decent addons that i could use to make it easier, Like the bars that the spells are set out like please? And also some good shaman addons? It would really help, Thanks

[@arkeylol]

you cast Lvb, and spam your CL button as you're casting. Since Lvb has a ~2 sec travel time, both spells will hit at the exact same time, resulting in massive burst. You can also add a fulmination on top of those 2 spells for even more burst.

[@Keyvak]

yo what add on makes ur lava surge show on ur screen the 2 lava bars when lava surge hits lmk

[@pimpermimper]

omg best movie i´ve seen for a while !

[@man12081]

Hey man, I play shaman, but feels like im getting way to globaled when i shall use flame shock - unleash elements then cast lava burst... Any tips?

[@ev1ldanny4]

@arkeylol How is enhancement? Is the shaman ele/enh specs good enough to have fun and not too hardcore? Like this video you made ^_^ Sorry if I double post youtube acting strange.

[@Stefangr1411]

hey is there a bug in 4.0.6 or ele shaman cant cast lightning bolt while running ?

[@IBrycius]

How are you instant casting Lava Burst? What is that proc ability?

[@Xerophobie]

Very nice Video! Could you maybe tell me the name of your addons? (:

[@zatchbellnaruto28]

Its called totem timers, it comes with a lot of other stuff but you can disable those and just show the lava surge proc.

[@arkeylol]

This is a tricky question, because the game the game isn't really balanced around 1v1. And even then, 1v1 in a bg is very different from a duel, the field is very important as an elemental shaman. I'd say any amazing player at any class could beat be a duel. In a 2v2 or 3v3 scenario, it's a whole different story though. But overall, if I had to pick 1 class I didn't want to duel, it'd be warlocks.

[@legendofj1]

Hey what would you say is the shaman pvp spec for battleground, enh or ele?

[@ghandio.o6634]

I dont understand something im new with shaman ... how can he use chain lightning like it dont have cd...

[@arkeylol]

The rolling thunder talent, Elemental tree tier 3

[@MrFrankenstein155]

Let an elemental shaman free cast and you're gonna have a bad time (insert southpark meme)

[@arkeylol]

of course i do, it situational, all 3 shocks share a 5 sec cd, so you gotta use the one you think fits best

[@Miser1983]

Wasnt aware of the cliff by the Alliance base. :O Tempted to make a Balance Druid or Elemental Shaman and knock people off it now

[@pugmonzzz]

how in the world do you get so much mana back from skills. i cant get any. PLEASE RESPOND

[@1evilgsta1]

guys des the red circle that resemble lave burst just proc normally because i get lava burst most of the time and i dont get the red lava proc things

[@DavidLuvYes]

im planing on lvling a shammy... and im wondering if its worth it ? i have 7 85`s now x) so im kinda tired of lvlind :P so the question remains... is it worth it ^^ ?

[@xxHeart92xx]

you were on the realm drenden?

[@CoOl2640]

What's the first song called

[@GodCrushedGaming]

I have a few nooby questions. Is it worth to get the insta cast ghost wolf? and should I get the trinket to stop stuns, I usually never do and I'm beginning to feel that I should :P

[@SuperSleepALLday]

do you stack haste or mastery?

[@ESPPsycho]

Inspiring, I always get my ass chewed out by all melee. Hopefully once I hit 85 and get gearing :)

[@arkeylol]

Oh, I see you've understood the point of the video, is it the ironic section title talking about n00bs or the video description that tipped you off?

[@enkbayarmunkhbayar5667]

what realm????? and, can u tell me this shaman uses addons

[@Gosfand878]

Great movie like always . keep it op

[@DrShoebizzle]

how much mastery you got?

[@arkeylol]

season 3 gear, bought from area52, in Netherstorm

[@vitoriaalexia6041]

Boa noite qual sete eu uso pvp

[@3dYxTr3m]

1:14 This is Spartaaa >:)>:)

[@alhuseinen]

can you link your spec please

[@Ayana613]

what is your ui?

[@CataclysmBalanceDruid]

nice video mate!

[@arkeylol]

it's a mod called TotemTimers

[@arkeylol]

@ev1ldanny4 If ele had a stun, It would bring the class close to frost mages in terms of viability. We had one a long time ago (s5/s6) but right now, we greatly rely on team mates to cover that. You pretty much have to root, snare and knock away for now. That's how you create small freecasting windows. They're "viable" in arenas when played with a few specific comps, like LSD, LSP and 4 dps 5s. But overall, they're really far from "flavor of the month". Top comps don't want an ele shaman atm.

[@zodsi]

Amazing. :D I thought the music was the best thing in this. :b

[@MrKonstman]

Awesome movie and you awesome really like your videos ty!:D

[@MrNinjutsu777]

ya man! you getting GW2? or play LoL?

[@arkeylol]

haha, what a small world :P I don't think I've seen you since s5!

[@ndmagic9]

Mastery

[@NappiNappiNapalm]

awesome work!

[@nirvana77811]

Thank you for the tips helped me out A LOT

[@arkeylol]

@sphyroph I use totem timers for the Lvb aura :O check out my lava burst aura video for more info

[@iTzTrAx1]

this video reminds me so much of dremlock

[@TheMrtvproductions]

After watching this vid you have persuaded me to reroll ele shaman :D

[@nahuelmartinez1997]

which are your rates?

[@zmyslowy27]

I know, just saying. I dont like thiefs and this is something like this for me when you play on private. Btw I love this first song.

[@MyLilFlame00]

Thank god blizz made shammys way op now i love my shammy

[@Gorestab]

patch 4.3.4?

[@Geriatricgiraffe]

Go Arkey. :D Love the videos, keep 'em coming!

[@Umbringen1337]

haha this is way funny so i looked you up on armory and your on my server and in my buddys guild thats cool :P

[@arkeylol]

with patch 4.3, CL is spammable for elemental

[@WoWTricksUTipps]

Nice video dude

[@owain75]

Quality

[@DanilkaTroll666]

Hi, wery cool. Please link you armory )

[@h20kdanny]

This was very good :) Nice job!

[@arkeylol]

s2 1h mace, available in area52

[@MrBrokoli99]

not sure if trolling or just stupid...gorsky is a nub, he has gear and he makes good videos but watching him play is just lol. arkey has skill, gorsky is a video maker.

[@arkeylol]

interrupt bar :)

[@EMUISTHEONE]

i saw 3 geared ppl on the horde and you put a video of yourself with mostly against ppl with some cases less HP than youve got mana thats not PRO thats just you going against under geared players

[@crippleripple]

He's probably on a private server.

[@snakeyez01]

Your to awesome :)

[@PookyMage]

nice video m8 :P

[@HoOh9333]

elemental

[@arkeylol]

fraps

[@GabrielePoles]

the zoom quality sucks :|

[@arkeylol]

@ev1ldanny4 It turns out that enh is a lot more popular than ele this season, which is unusual. Rank 1 on Nightfall (Kel'ThuzadT-US) is an enh shammy. O_O But the spec is still fairly challenging to play, it requires a lot of focus macros (wolf bash, shear, frost shock, etc.). But in the end, if you're not looking for hardcore PvP, any spec is fun, they all do really good dmg once you're geared. Roll whatever spec you think is awesome :)

[@pimpermimper]

omg best movie i´ve seen for a while !

[@danieltsmoke]

god bro...this was amazing to watch. it was just flashy editing and ZOMG look at that crit (which is what my new video making skills lead me to)...it was a story, it was funny, it was informational, it was very entertaining...plz keep making vids /subscribe

[@arkeylol]

It's a tracker for my lava surge procs which refresh my lavaburst cooldown. Right now you need a mod to do it, I use totemtimers, but next xpac it's going to be built in, and no mods will be required anymore for that specific aura tracker

[@arkeylol]

@atixamd stack up all these things: Beserking +30%, Power torrent proc +500sp, Trinket proc/on use trinket+2300 sp, fire totem +10% sp, kings +5%sp, clear casting +10% dmg, elemental mastery +15% dmg, unleash fire +30% dmg

[@arkeylol]

It's all about haste. More haste, more LB casts, more mana returns. 10% haste might not seem like much, but it's just enough to offset the mana spent on the rest of your spells.

[@arkeylol]

Get full cataclysmic haste gear, you should be fine. Haste makes LB more viable, making mana returns from rolling thunder super high.

[@TheRealQuexi]

I got an elemental shaman my self but my mana drains really fast , any typs ? As i see you're chain lighting gives you 2.5k mana back ? :D

[@TheRealQuexi]

I'm half way geared now ( normal pvp gear tear 11 and i respecced also , im finding that my mana drains slower now :D

[@willchen19920929]

I'm just so amazed how you can survive and kill in 1v3+ situations. I'm in almost full S11 with 4.6k resil but i still find difficulty when fighting against 2 or more enemies, specially mages and rogues with limitless stuns and disables. Also sometimes when i try to root ppl, they can resist it when my spell pen is capped. Can you give me some advice on my problems? Thanks and awsome video as always~

[@ev1ldanny4]

Hey great videos man lmao everytime you thunderstormed someone off the waterfall. I got a few questions thought hopefully you can answer 1. What do elemental shamans do for a stun? Since they don't have wolves. 2. Are they viable in arena?

[@wowfreak42584]

Tbh you're pretty much facerolling low geared people thought. You're not bad thought, decent Elemental Shamans are hard to find these days. Don't spam Chain Lighting single target unless you wanna finnish off your Ele Mastery cd thought.

[@OhSnapItzDanny]

Ahhh man, I really really miss WoW. I started playing for about a month, then my grades started slipping. Parents said I couldn't play it till I move out. :/ Do you think WoW will still be around in 4 years? :(

[@DubstepJunke]

Hey, I've been watching alot of your videos and I really like them! But im new to shaman, and am having a dilemma if I should go Ele for Arenas and RBG's, or If I should go ENH! D: HALP Pl0x

[@SothisTheDog]

Epic Thunderfucking Arkey. Although I am racist and know Goblins are the supreme race I do miss yer old warstomping Tauren and I am still a big fan. GL on yer matches & keep the vids coming. :D

[@MrSjoert]

I see that when you're standing still and having a single target, you're using chain lightning all the time. Why is this? Or is this just for in case a stealther is near that target?

[@TheL1ch_]

nice video m8 im lvling an ele shammy and this made me want to lvl him faster funny thing is he is a dwarf ;] nice video looking forward to the mop guide videos

[@KroopzTV]

I bet your team gets pissed at you fighting mid all the time, lol. Nice vid, but I can tell most of those 30K+ crits are against very low resil targets :P

[@arkeylol]

@MrCPerry84 check out my "UI guide" video for more info :]

[@emilboy1998]

YOU ARE THE MOST OP SHAMAN EVERY AFTER ELEMENTALQT, AFTER I SAW THIS VIDEO I CHANGED SPEC TO ELEMENTAL FROM ENHANCMENT. MAKE VIDEOS AND HAVE FUN PLZ
