Looking at all of the guides out here, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for in how to properly optimize DPS, no fluff, no confusing explanations, just a wonderful breakdown on how the rotation goes. Thank you ALOT, and keep the simple information rolling!!

[@rocket_hops]

not quite what wowhead reccomends (which ya know, whatever) but having someone actually explain why pressing buttons is good helps immensely to piece it all together

[@chronix9784]

This is probably one of the easiest specs in the game right now. Considering the damage output by this BM hunter difficulty, you will see tons of elemental shamans. I have to admit as a ele main, I'm loving it and I'm happy to play it like this. It's easier than ever to use the full kit of all utility now.

[@xkarasu9705]

110%. I absolutely despised the clunky playstyle of Fire Build in a m+ setting and this just beat it into shape.

[@xlightninghawk6360]

ngl i used to play shamans until season 3 and 4 of DF when it was so heavily focused on lava build for m+, and i tried them out after the changes and i feel like im doing something wrong when i spam 1 button a lot

[@bertsvello]

Hey Zuco! For the Storm Elemental rotation, I'll leave a macro that I use which is incredibly helpful. You've mentioned that you need to cast the Elemental Tempest skill, but you need to wait for it to use "Call Lightning" by itself, you cast its Tempest afterward. (when you summon the Elemental, you can right-click his Pet Bar so that his Tempest won't go off automatically (much like warlocks control their pets)). Anyway, hope it helps: #showtooltip /use [pet:Primal Storm Elemental]Tempest;[pet:Primal Fire Elemental]Meteor /use [known:Storm Elemental]Storm Elemental;[known:Fire Elemental]Fire Elemental

[@thelastspectre8141]

I was also going to mention that, call lightning puts a debuff on the enemy making take more damage from his tempest

[@ZucoWoW]

Yeah I know. I think this isn't necessary any more though. This past week, my Storm Ele has been waiting until he buffs himself, then casting Tempest in the correct order... But I just tried testing it again (and during this video), and my Storm Ele was back to his old ways, not using his abilities at the right time... So I'll keep testing it. This Macro is good and I do have it, but I'm hoping Blizz has just fixed it. We'll see.

Excellent simple rotation guide explained perfectly

[@thegreekgeek7113]

Great vid, really appreciate it! On AOE rotation, what dictates how many chain lightnings you use before casting earthquake? is there a buff / set amount of maelstrom you wait for or is it just whatever keeps you from capping maelstrom? On ST, what made you decide to do a few more lightning bolts in a row at 11:50 (breaking the Lava B > Earth Shock > Lightning B)? Was there a buff/proc of something? Thanks!!

[@ryanpower1291]

Visuals look awesome but i do feel like its super basic. But thinking about other specs they can mostly also be dumbed down to 2 buttons or so especially for the main rotation. One thing i think ele needs is more maelstrom spenders on a cd would at least add some diversity to the main rotation every now and then.

[@VileVamp]

Great guide, wtf is the hair tho

[@Duck4Evers]

I realize this is off topic but considering your depth of knowledge on everything Shaman, do you have a sense of what hero talents Resto Shaman will bring to Raid?

[@ZucoWoW]

@@Duck4Evers Farseer is much more efficient for raid. Lots of Riptide spreading... You'll have Ancestors up all the time helping with extra healing, all for free. Mass AOE healing is a bit worse for Farseer, but it has that consistency and efficiency. Totemic can have bigger mass aoe heals with tons of free Chain Heals from your totems. It's more expensive on mana, but your Healing Rain from Surging totem heals for a lot more, so stacked groups of allies is awesome for Totemic. Both trees have their merits, you'd need to play around with them and see how it feels.

[@Duck4Evers]

Awesome, thanks so much!

[@ChefMcNasty44]

Thnaks for the roto guide

[@vingas8898]

Can you explain how you are spreading flame shock at the start? I thought you had to flame shock before primordial wave.

[@ZucoWoW]

Liquid Magma Totem spreads 3 Flame Shocks, I cast that for the extra FS's.

[@EquusMulus]

You talk about a haste window, and that you're holding cd's for your surge but you don't really care about the surge, afaik. PW and Ancestral Swiftness should be on the same GCD, so you should only care about lining your haste window up with PW, not a surge.

[@boredgamer7841]

I hope blizz will move some damage out of chain lightning into other skills, can't be real this shit has to do 42% of your damage.

[@JohnnyBravo18798]

So is Tempest just an elevated Chain lightening? There's no spell button for it and i don't see it as a passive, so when it proc, do i just keep hitting lightening/chain-lightening?

[@ZucoWoW]

@@JohnnyBravo18798 When it procs it will replace Lightning Bolt. Check your L Bolt icon the next time it procs.

[@JohnnyBravo18798]

@@ZucoWoW thanks, was thinking this was the case, but dble checking. So it's strictly the lightening bolt only correct?

[@ZucoWoW]

@@JohnnyBravo18798 Yep

[@MastersOfTheWinds]

Thanks for this! Isn't it beneficial to tab target on AOE to spread around the Lightning Rod or are all targets that CL hits affected? Was under the impressions that only the primary target gets the LR.

[@MastersOfTheWinds]

Aaaand just went over to the other Video and got that question answered!

[@ZucoWoW]

@@MastersOfTheWinds haha yeah... It actually was this way a few weeks ago, but they've fixed it now, thankfully. You can tunnel on 1 target and the EQ will automatically spread L-Rod's to other targets. Awesome QoL.

[@jookapaiva8205]

Icyveins says only use lava burst while it procs or with primordial wave, are you sure rotating between those 3 is better?

[@DavidSlattery-mh3qx]

Lava burst. Earth shock. Lightning Bolt.

[@kriffn9719]

Ele shamans looks much more appealing to me now with all lightning build, might swap from boomkin to ele shaman foe this xpac. Only thing im concerned of are the survivability, are they getting anything more in the def kit kow then what they have had previous? Dont wanna end up always dying in higher keys only cause shaman 😣

[@madeitrain7221]

Hello Zuco! Just found your videos (up and coming Elemental player I hope!!). But I wanted to ask, are we not pressing Lava Burst whenever we get a lava surge proc? I’m going to try and follow your rotation and guide to a T. But I wanted to ask. Thank you for the video!!

[@ZucoWoW]

In aoe, it's really not worth it. Casting a Chain Lightning is going to deal much more damage. If you are forced to move because of a mechanic or ground swirly, etc, absolutely use that Lava Surge proc and press Lava Burst while on the move. But if you have time to cast spells, no, ignore Lava Surge procs in aoe and focus on harder hitting abilities. In ST, it's a much different story. Casting Lightning Bolt is still more valuable then Lava Burst, but weaving in Lava Bursts whenever you have a Surge proc is def worth.

[@madeitrain7221]

Wish I could double thumbs up the response. Thank you for the knowledge and tip!! Very much appreciated the videos. Do you happen to have a discord channel? Either way, I’ll for sure be checking your channel for new videos on ele sham! Hope you have a blast in TWW!

@@ZucoWoW thanks for the vid I also was wondering the same thing, I saw in the aoe rotation though you did send it a few times. i am new to ele as well so I am missing why we using it a few times if we get a proc but you mentioned ignore it and use chain lightning only?

[@MorganHelmen]

Any tip on tracking Tempest? I'm using Luxthos weakaura and there is zero indication when it procs :\

[@smoran02]

Great video honestly

[@xerrath8029]

Is it worth hardcasting lavaburst to get the haste if I don't have lavasurge procs in the AOE rotation?

[@ZucoWoW]

@@xerrath8029 Generally no... This will feel bad right now when the mobs last for 8 seconds each... But once you get into higher keys, you'll drop Liquid Magma Totem and use Prime Wave, then go back to casting Chain Lightnings... Your Lava Surge will proc in roughly 5 seconds or so and you can pop off with it. Obviously if you get extremely unlucky and the Lava Surge doesn't proc, then you'll need to manually cast a LB to get the haste buff rolling.

[@OmegaSoypreme]

With thunderstrike ward now a thing, have they changed elemental's loot table so they only get 1 handers and shields? It would feel pretty bad if you use the shield imbue but kept getting staff drops.

[@liferuiner9045]

If you EQ on the same selected target twice in a row (because MS is full), will the damage be doubled or do we need to wait with EQ until the prev. one is done?

[@Chrissi10ify]

But farseer is still better in pure single target right ? Like for raiding

[@CoreMsK]

U can do a macro with /Cast tempest /Cast chain lighting ?? This way it will prioritize tempest when it is available, and when not, it will use CL Idk I need to check it when expa release Edit. I find it unnatural to use a ST skill in aoe

[@zachpennock8839]

Question, I am coming back from a very big break. I tried this build out and I noticed I had little to no lava burst procs. What can I do to increase the LB procs?

[@ZucoWoW]

Make sure your Flameshocks never go down. If you have good Flameshock uptime, you'll get enough Lava Surge procs. This build also doesn't really need Lava Burst that much. It's much more focused on the Lightning abilities.

[@neony123]

Do you not need flameshock at all now and primordial wave cd is now so short you can upkeep it with that?

[@ZucoWoW]

@@neony123 For a pure ST fight, yes, but in aoe you def want it to add occasional Flame Shocks in order to maximize your Prime Wave damage and haste buff

[@Bub_bles-gy8kp]

How does the Rolling Thunder heroic talent work? In my base spec stormkeeper says we can have 2 charges of it, but I don't see it on your action bar.

[@ZucoWoW]

If you precast Stormkeeper before the pull, you'll get your 2 stacks... You use them, then the extra Stormkeeper stack from Rolling Thunder will kick in, and you can use it.

[@Retrox1989]

As a filthy casual who basically does just world content and LFR (plus Delves in TWW) which of the two would be better suited, Stormbringer or Farseer?

[@ZucoWoW]

I think Farseer is better. The Ancestors will also heal you if you cast a heal on yourself. They are up basically all the time. The Farseer build cools down offensive and defensive abilities like Cap Totem, Stone Bulwark Totem, etc, so it offers more flexibility and sustain for open world content like hard Rare bosses or Delves.

Why use lava burst at all in the single target rotation? seems like even the crit does less than a solid lightning bolt and it comes out slower. Thoughts?

You only use lava burst when you get a proc so it is instant cast. No proc no cast. Additionally if you cast it while flame shock is active on the enemy it it is a guaranteed crit.

[@myusen]

i know you are not an elemental main but since somewhere mid DF Mote of the Elements gets munched by flameshock/primordial wave. Thus when you say "LvB Primo Earthshock" the earthshock is effectively unbuffed. Also you overuse LvB in single target I am pretty sure, because you want to maximize flash of lightning CDR over using and weaving lavabursts for optimal dps. Sadly the mathmatically best ST rotation is literally only Lightningbolt and only Lavaburst on the Primordial Wave for the haste buff.
