Quick and simple, love it.

[@wigle02]

Hey man great video, quick question, how do you approach boss mechanics when there’s a lot of running around/kiting, do you still try to maintain/ put down magma totem and fire nova where you can, or do you leave it out? Appreciate it 🙏🏼

[@neooutlaws]

A video on how to minmax on every boss would be awesome, btw how do you manage ur fire totem on grobbulus and Heigan?

[@xXSoRcIaXx]

Question: I have the Calamitys Grasp von Kel'thuzad for MH Weapon, should i also play with 2x flame tongue or should i go with windfury weapon?

[@pl3923]

good stuff

[@ThhenProd]

Good guide! A suggestion would be a walkthrough of you addons and macros, thanks!

[@blue_kowalski9089]

Thanks mate! I'll defo try to do that next.

what is the addon the displays storm strike and flameshock debuff above the mob?

how you can use "Wraith Strike" and "Kel'thuzad's reach" they are both main hand weapons ?

[@blue_kowalski9089]

If I forgot about or went over anything to quick please let me know in the comments and I might make an updated version for Phase2.

[@feelgoodhorizon4084]

talks of people uisng spell haste totem over wf totem, if this is the case do we even need the 2 points in wd totem?

[@blue_kowalski9089]

@@feelgoodhorizon4084 Hm I mean you need a spell haste totem, as there's no other class that can bring the buff. I would always advocate for either the ele or resto to put that down, but I guess if you're the only shaman in raid it probably makes sense for enhance to do it. In this case might as well skip the two points in WF totem, but make sure to bring a frost dk to pick up the meele haste buff for your group.

[@feelgoodhorizon4084]

@@blue_kowalski9089 yup only sham in raid 99% of time and we have a static frost dk

[@christopherwyatt3434]

@@feelgoodhorizon4084 if your frost dk has improved talons. No need for 2 in wf, but if you don't then take it. I run without it. In heroics we might not have a dk, so I'll just use the 16%. But I'd rather spend the talent points elsewhere.

[@implodingfruitz8093]

@@feelgoodhorizon4084 you're sacrificing 4%int for 4% haste on the talent tree. If you have a frost dk in raid all the time then you can go without improved wf totem but if you don't then it's really important to have. I personally don't really care enough about 4% int and sometimes in 10 man there is no frost dk so I use it

[@DevinDecoud]

Thanks BK! Phase 3 Update :D?

Can you make a video about ur WA's and Addons? Pretty please :P

in p4, do weapon imbues change?

you use fire in both weapons?

[@SultanSVBP]

is possible an build full windfury?

[@blablabla90909]

Can you elaborate on why we prefer crit over haste as you say at 0:34 ? I always thought haste is more important to maximize maelstrom procs.

[@blue_kowalski9089]

Yep so there's a couple of reasons, but in the end it's a fairly small difference and comes down partly to personal preference. First off you want a good amount of crit for a maximum flurry up time. I'm currently at 45%crit with raid buffs and have a flurry up time of just under 90% for example. Also since we get a big crit multiplier with the Elemental Fury talent, a lot of our high damage abilities in P1 (FN, FTWeap etc) just benefit more from crit than haste. Final reason is with fights being so short in P1, we are already haste capped when it comes to GCD a lot of the time thanks to Lust, Engi gloves and speed potions. I hope that makes some sense. Sorry for the wall of text 😅

[@blablabla90909]

@@blue_kowalski9089 Thanks for the response, that does make a lot of sense actually!

can anyone tell me how to get huricane when you crit I think

[@qeezeeqee]

So we use flametongue9 on MH? // also for single target what’s better for gemming haste or atk power

[@blue_kowalski9089]

Yes and rank 10 on offhand, that is cause we just benefit from offhand with Lavalash. If you hit your caps for Spellhit and Expertise, just gem for pure AP.

Comprehensive - including or dealing with all or nearly all elements or aspects of something. And then the first line is "I'm not going to go into it"

[@WhatSaFack]

A more General question…is it a decision to make spellhance OR enhance, or is Playing enhance in P1 automatically Leading to spellhance?

[@blue_kowalski9089]

Yea no difference in play style or stat prio between enhance or spellhance. Spellhance is kinda like a made up "marketing" phrase for us to justify rolling on caster gear (:

[@WalterBurn]

The big difference is using a spellpower mainhand or not. For phase 1 spellpower mainhand is absolutely the best way to go for all situations. It's not even close. Later phases we will likely be forced to weapon swap between phys mainhands for single target and spellpower mainhands for snapshotting ele and aoeing, since there are no spellpower mainhands past naxx that have suitable weapon speeds to use always.

[@tsukiryota6875]

can u copy your macros ?

[@Herpzis]

is there any point in wotlk that we can use actual melee weapons and windfury again? This spellhance spec keeps me away from my shaman :(

[@blue_kowalski9089]

Yep the default weapons next phase are both physical. Flame tongue will still be the preferred weapon enchant although windfury should catch up quite a bit in damage (:

[@andersrubin6623]

When do I use totems? I find if I use them for every pack in a dungeon I'm oom after two pulls. Even with sham rage. Should I be popping totems only for boss fights? Should I be using pots more?

[@gabrielvondra4654]

would you be interested in teaching me one on one? could I reach out about addons and macros thanks!!

[@Press1ForSummon]

How much ap would you need to go with spirit wolves over fire nova? Endgame I beleive spirit wolves becomes better. Anyone know?

[@sallen3172]

You should do asmr

[@Grondolf]

Forgot about Glyph of Feral Spirit?

[@implodingfruitz8093]

You use flame tongue, fire nova, and storm strike. That's all 3

[@blue_kowalski9089]

@@implodingfruitz8093 Yep that's it. With Storm strike being the weakest one of the three, so that'd be what you replace for Fire Elemental.

[@ace052330]

How do you get the we prefer crit over haste? Every sim I have ever run and stat weights I’ve ever looked at value haste the highest of all stats outside raw AP if it’s a 2 to 1 conversion. Meaning haste beats everything unless you get 2 AP per one haste. I’ve never seen a sim, guide, or my own testing show crit to be higher value than haste. My shamans name is Nightstorm I play on Mankrik. I’m not in a hardcore guide just play with a bunch of quality players I enjoy playing with. You can see my gear and if you change my gems from haste/AP to crit my dps goes down a fair bit both in the sim and testing in the game. My flurry uptime due to synced weapons is already 93% or higher. Crit is not preferable over haste imo. Especially as content gets harder and fights get longer. But to each their own I guess.

[@blue_kowalski9089]

It's a bit confusing in the sim, but to you need to actually add meele and spell crit together to get the correct EP for crit. We might reach a softcap with crit in P1, but tbh with the current fight lengths I can't get haste to sim higher than crit with my setup.
