The ULTIMATE Ele Shaman Guide - Build, Stats, Rotation | The War Within

[@peettko]

Weapon Consumable: Algari Mana Oil (Not Flametongue) On ST, I sometimes cast Lava Surge even without PW if I have to move left/right and need an instant cast. Feedback from Earthshrine Discord: Overloads DON'T trigger Flash of Lighting Power of the Maelstrom / Surge of power DO stack.

Thank you Petko. Ever since the start of Shadowlands I haven't missed a video o f yours. You are awesome and a gigachad

[@Vognyk325]

Saw you published this video and understood I’ll have a good time ❤

[@raiseumhigh6067]

I've been playing this class for so many years and this lightning rod on multiple targets thing kinda blew my mind

[@chronix9784]

It will be 100% easier when 11.0.5 hits

[@flodderr]

why? isnt that obvious since you do it with flame shock aswel?

[@raiseumhigh6067]

If everything was obvious I wouldn't be watching a guide on a class I've been playing for years. Isn't that obvious?

[@XxKiLLaKoop420]

You always wanna spread lightning rod because it amplifies your damage from all your lightning bolts onto that target

[@AndrewMusk]

Thanks bud, great guide.

[@majateresa4527]

Nice guide. I always like your guides. You are not overcomplicating things for a possible 5% dmg increase. Most of the players including me losing a ton of dmg while trying to minmax.

[@BIGDIZZBBY]

Yeah I notice when I’m trying too hard to do my rotation perfectly I do worse and when I just hold W and have fun I do a lot better

One change I would make - Seasoned Winds -> poison cleansing totem. It's just too strong for any dungeon with poisons

[@williamblom3948]

this is the only place i seen stormbringer being used, wowhead, icyveins and method all say to use farseer for season 1

[@Photekz]

Because Farseer has comparable AoE early in the season while having like 15% to 20% more ST.

[@Dragance1988]

[@peettko]

Neithe of my trinkets are legion. It's just the icons of what they chose to go for in TWW. It's Darkmoon profession trinket

[@Stemujin]

What do you think about not picking Eye of the Storm talent? If spenders cost 60 maelstorm, it is enough to cast 5 spenders (300 maelstorm) to get Tempest. With EotS you'll need 6 spenders (330 maelstorm) to get Tempest. Is it worth to waste 30 maelstorm in this way? More Tempest = more instant and buffed Chain Lightning (so more maelstorm) and more Lightning Rods. What's your opinion?

[@peettko]

No other viable option sadly

[@clanOT]

18:05 why does surge of power > chain lightning only work with more than 6 targets? and what if there are only 5-6 targets? surge > LB? or use chain anyway and waste the effect?

[@peettko]

@@clanOT read surge of power talent, it will answer the question for you

[@clanOT]

@@peettko ah ok, so if a pack only has 3,4, or 5 units, do you surge>LB or surge>chain?

[@rezeroedre7696]

Great guide m8 im playing almost the same build but i have 2 questions. What if y have the Earthquake talent that hits the ground instead of your target, how it works with rod. On the other question now how good is to double magma totems in a pull if for example there are 8 good targets that will last. Thanks in advance great work!

[@supersamus221]

It hits the target you currently have selected. If you hit earthquake again and LR is still active on the current target, it randomly selects something without LR and put's it on that. Which is why he said to try and target something that will live before hitting EQ so it lives for the full duration. But only if you are comfortable otherwise you'll lose uptime fiddling with nameplates etc etc which makes the gain not worth it.

[@mivuh]

When u craft a weapon would you embellish vivacity or symbiosis? (dont have the darkmoon card) And for ST maybe im missunderstanding something but why should i not earth shock AFTER a lava burst where power of the mealstrom proccs? Do you mean that it doenst make elemental overload procc 3 times so the extra procc from power of the mealstrom is wasted? Sorry for the language barrier :D thanks for the guide!!!

[@TheMisleduser]

Oh shit.. I misread that. I thought lightning rod just was applied to mobs effected by earthquake lol. Know it's the one be directly targeted is a good thing to be aware of. Guess I gotta start changing targets again.

[@iiXxROBERTxXii]

Is this for m+ only? Or should I use ur st rotation for raids too?

[@peettko]

@@iiXxROBERTxXii m+

[@Rhaeg4L]

for solo target, should i use lava burst even if flame shock gives proc too ? since it increase damage of next nature/frost/physical spell

[@nomis8382]

have a question is ele shaman also suitable for an absolute beginner. I have played on Bm Master and Frost Magician so far but still don't get so warm with the classes and shaman I find it generally cool also have one on 70 makes it sin him to lvln and will you have fun with the class if it's only about Mytick Inis content?.

[@opyTypo]

I have been subbing out splinter and echo of elements talents to get to mountains will fall and equilibrium and it is just pumping for m+ You already run primordial so you know when equilibrium is gonna be up and I tested with and without these two talent swaps, your eq damage literally doubles and your overall doesnt change much to sacrifice this. Your ST gets a boost too since youre basically getting a 10% dmg amp every 30 seconds Im 573 ilvl doing 1mil dps overall

[@kingbrewster9075]

Hello, what settings or addons are you using for your bar management? I run Elvui and have Plater but with multi target it overlaps a lot and yours space so much better with the AoE rotation explanation

[@santiagosuarezvasco7920]

Thaks for the guide. I have a quetion about simming. What sim I shoud run? Patchwerk 5 targets for 3 mins? or Dungueon Slice is enough? I want a M+ sim

[@Jh475715]

Could you share your Power of the maelstrom WA, when i try to make my own i just get an error

[@Xzenock0343]

Why do you use your Nature's swiftness on a chain lightning? I usually pump it with a Tempest to make it instant.

[@peettko]

I use it on CD.

[@andrewpark9612]

I apologize if I missed it but on AOE are we not using liquid magma totem?

[@sadza18]

Has anything changed since this video came out 2 weeks ago? Like rotation

[@panagiotiskodonikas1809]

Do you want to spend the tempest insta cast chain lighting with stormkeeper or no ?

[@peettko]

Preferably you tempest into instant CLs and not SK inside that window.

[@panagiotiskodonikas1809]

@@peettko thanks a lot !!

[@nerd0815]

So - lightning bolt to oblivion except when earth shock is available? Then cast earth shock to get the Surge of Power proc (unless power of the maelstrom is active, of course)?

[@peettko]

Lava Burst with P-wave / Lava Surge if u have to move and u have no other instant spell. But yes, mainly LB

[@nexxos3498]

Aoe rotation on 3+ targets? And st rotation on 1-2 targets? Or does it change a bit on 2? Nice guide! :)

[@lektik9493]

Usually you go ST on 1-2 Targets and AoE at 3+ Targets

[@peettko]

3 targets is the same as aoe and on 2 targets it changes. I'm gonna do a video about that😊

[@benverpoort131]

And what do you do when your magma totem and stormkeeper are on cooldown, but new packs are being pulled?

[@peettko]

Reset LMT, if you know your SK is on cd, try to pool maelstrom for the next pull.

[@DarnastTFT]

When you have 2 targets, is it optimal to do Earthquake + chain lighting? or Earthquake + lighting bold (only after earthquake). Thanks in advance

[@peettko]

@@DarnastTFT eq if they stay together. With sop or potm you will LB, if not then CL

[@arstos487]

If I craft a weapon and am choosing between the neck and the back for my second spark, what's the thought process there? Is one clearly better than the other?

[@peettko]

Depends on your overall luck in that week. If you get a juicer neck and a bad back, then back. I'd probably go for the back imo since main stat is prio

[@chrisblack5359]

Dont you use LMT in ST?

[@trixaisling7682]

Thankyou for your content! With this build for ST you don't normally LB before ES? Or would you only do that with full stacks of magma chamber? Also, I feel like the farseer AoE build is just as good and has similar damage in different scenarios? I feel like Farseer would be the play for tyrannical weeks and stormbringer for fortified weeks?

In m+, you only lava bursts during pw or when you move and you have lava surge.

they had uncapped aoe on stormbringer, then they soft cap it to 5, but its still better for aoe, but you can be fine with farseer for lower keys

[@TheZermineitor]

Raid quick guide pls

[@rodneyhorsley8601]

A bit disingenuous to say Fareer will never be used in keys. It is largely based on your tank and group. The start of the season Farseer will be better for boss damage and tanks pulling smaller. As the season goes along both very well may be similar because Stormbringer boss damage really isn't that great.
