Appreciate the follow up video. Glad you have been able to substantiate many of the irregularities from your previous video. There's a been lot of oddities floating around the community. Regarding the grounding totem... it is dependent upon the incoming spells. If it's an immediate damage spell, it should destroy the totem. If it's NOT an upfront damage spell (sheep, mind control, a curse, a dot etc.) then the totem is not destroyed and can continue to absorb spells. It worked this way in vanilla 100%. It works this way on most private servers also, but a handful of them get this wrong and remove the totem after any spell.

On clearcasting not affecting the natural mp5 - that works for all 0 mana spells. As a priest with cheaper instant casts (disc) with the item from BRD that reduces mana cost of spells by 100, you can have Renew rank 3 (105 mana) -> (~92 mana or sth) -> 0 mana, and be able to do something like (clearcasting-spell from disc talent, Greater Heal maxrank) -> trinket -> spam renews rank 3 for 10s with mp5 for the entire duration. I'd guess same thing applies for any other spellcasting that have decent spells that cost less than 100 mana, ending up with this trinket pulling in quite a bit of mana.

In vanilla so things might have changed (Did not play beta) > Grounding totem While grounding totem is dropped you gain a buff. While the buff is active spells will be redirected to the totem. The buff is only removed when tot totem dies. So depending on timings it might be possible to ground 2 spells (or more if from multiple sources) If someones casts a spell with cast time and travel time for the projectile and strait after a instant cast no travel time spell both spells would have been grounded by the grouding totem. Since the projectile could not be redirected once it was fired. But the instant cast would destroy the grounding. > Will Arcane Missiles and Grounding Totem Yes. The spell was already "Locked" on your grounding totem. the other 2 (or 3 bolts) will not be redirected to the shaman >For mindflay and Grounding Totem Initial tick went to grounding totem. Then Priest stopped channeling because target was destroyed. Still triggered GCD > Warlocks / imps and Grounding Totem Depends on the timing. If one of the spells finished casting while the other was still en route to the Grounding totem both would have been grounded.

Using both this video and the more comprehensive chart from your last video we can generally conclude that: - Windfury is likely the best imbue for any Enhancement Shaman (IF ≥3.0 speed weapon) - Frostbrand is likely the best imbue for any Elemental Shaman (IF Elemental Fury Talented) - Rockbiter is likely the best imbue for any Restoration Shaman - Flametongue is trash (with the strange exception of a 2.1- 2.3 speed anomaly) - In every other circumstance you should almost always use Rockbiter Weapon. You may consider an alternative imbue when targets gain additional Resistances/Armor but generally this is a good rule of thumb.

I tried to explain that weapon speed plays a significant role and also 'Elemental Fury' and 'Elemental Weapons'.

If Frostbrand out DPSes Flametongue when taking the subsequent damage-over-time effect, then it's hard to imagine when Flametongue would be worth using.

I'm disappointed by the weapon imbuement data. Would it not make more sense that frostbrand and flametongue would switch places in average DPS, because frost has the slow effect on it as well? Does this mean that flametongue is useless outside of fights with extreme armour and cold resist (questionably relevant since armour seems to be low across the board anyway)? It would be sad if it had no practical application. Your notes on dungeon ease make me a little wary as well. I remember dungeons being one of the least exp/hr efficient ways to level, but I did it anyway because they were fun. I hope they release some kind of statement, if everyone is noticing that they seem to be a breeze. ANYWAY, don't want to be a downer, this video has so much hard work in it and it's so great to see you present it professionally like this. I think you're the world's leading shaman scholar at this point.

Did they buffed ft? Because its consistancy is way better now. I mean it easily competes with rockbiter. I am around 40. And if my weapon with rb hits between 110-150, ft is hitting like between 90-125 plus 30 each hit, which is like the same and ft is even better on higher armors. Maybe beta was like that? I am switching between them in each rank and recording.

The issue is crits. If ft crits, only the base damage crits, the magical portion crits are spell based and will crit way less often. You should be stacking agility which makes RB hit much harder. If RB never crits then they are more comparable

@Defcamp & Melderon TV, these guides of yours are such an amazing resource. Thank you! I have been wondering about this hybrid ele/enh spell power/spell crit build utilizing flametongue or frostbrand for damage combined with ele fury... I am curious though, I haven't seen any spell coefficients for Flametongue Totem. Does it have one? Or does the Flametongue totem buff, utilize the target's spell power? Also, does the flametongue totem gain any benefit from Ele fury? The theory crafting behind this build has been focused on how this build effects the Shaman's DPS... what I am curious about is, does this build effect Flametongue totem in a positive way, and if so, is it enough to consider Flametongue totem over Windfury totem? I know this is pretty MEME but, my curiosity is peaking. Thanks again!!!

I'd still argue flametongue still has value, In a PvP setting it is consistent damage and bypasses armor.

I'm noticing something odd, all the classic info I've been seeing has been pointing to the 10% frost brand co. With your guide here saying it moves upward to about 11.5% or so with improved weapon imbue talents. But in my play it's looking like it's closer to 40-45% unless I'm doing something wrong. FB rank 4 at lvl 40 for me is base about 95 damage, my strikes are proccing at 112-113 with 41 extra frost spell power. That's just about 18 damage extra, 41*.45 just about equals the aforementioned 18 damage given about half a point variance upward. Am I doing this wrong? Or has it been changed? Edit: Also, this is a kick-ass guide, you guys put a ton of work into these, thanks so much from one little shaman amongst the masses! Edit 2: It could be a product of the extra 15% damage on the improved talent? 15% of 95 added to a 10% of 41 is also about 18 damage :/

@@johanlahti84 From my brief looks at BiS gear for the various phases, it looks like WF becomes the only option some time during/after phase 2. Before then, RB will be a viable choice, if not better. Small disclaimer, that's unbuffed. Procs could drastically change things, as you essentially get an extra two hits per five swings. With something like Nightfall, you'd probably want WF just for proc rate.

what's the difference between "spell coefficient" and +spell power/healing
@jeffsmith80665 жыл бұрын
Spell coefficient is the % of spell power that actually increases the spell's effectiveness.
@zWaKez5 жыл бұрын
maybe the mobs you were killing had fire resist built into them and thus flametongue perfomed worse. it would make sense considering you are killing crocodiles that live in the water and have thick scales. i think more tests need to be done.

does shadowguard get the same spell power coefficient as lightning shield?
@jetrpg225 жыл бұрын
Per a lot of old sites (but not the lists) it was 26.7% (total of 80%) which is funny because that is what lightning shield ended up being.

Dono if this is too mana intensive, but theoretically if your farming mobs at full health using windfurry, then once the mob drops below a certain hp% and then using rockbiter be efficient to prevent the potential overkill?
@jeffsmith80665 жыл бұрын
Would stop your Mana Regen so I would think this would be incredibly inefficient
