Zuco's DPS & Healer Main for the War Within Season 1!!

[@ismount]

Going mage this time around. Since mage is getting so much attention, I figure if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. I've also never mained a caster so that's a nice little bonus.

[@SololaneMvlog]

HUUUUGE SURPRISE… no one suspected this at all!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

[@ZucoWoW]

I'm as shocked as the rest of you :)

[@Yonn818]

Haha Frost Shocked

[@SummerAdventures]

I have had a tough time deciding what to main. Paladins are legit, but they are everywhere. Not a huge fan of DPS only classes as a main. Ele / Resto seems like a great pick.

[@Bigalwarrior]

Well said, I like the way you break things down

[@BeowulfGaming]

Same here Zuco, i mained resto druid and holy pala for 3 expansions. This time around i am going rsham, prevoker and mw monk! to spice things up, cant wait!

[@Crayzyy]

I think ill be switching ovver from Havoc and VDH to Frost and Blood DK. Frost is very satisfying to play

[@mattmay1020]

Usually main resto.....but ele is just so much fun right now.....loving it!

[@fugazi8115]

Warlock main with Shaman and DK alts

[@SimonCoulton]

Great choice! Your vids are the reason I decided to play resto for the first time in s3. I’m probably going to go holy pally as I like the ability to do all 3 roles, but if I don’t it’ll be warr for prot/arms (has been my main since I came back in legion after quitting since TBC)

[@perkulant4629]

When you popped off, look at the resto druid also :O

[@19omegawolf]

I really hope lightning build gets some love

[@stephenryan8492]

Ele rework is so awesome. Love elemental blast being a chunky spender.

[@WarrickRanger]

I’m doing Priest this expansion. Shadow or Holy in raid, depending on what my guild’s comp ends up needing, and then Disc and Shadow in M+. Goal is to keep the same character the whole expansion, and switch between healing and DPS when I’m feeling bored instead of switching classes each major patch 😅

[@nick-ww8pk]

Picked a rough time to main SP. I think they are going to be kept down this expansion. they've had it too good for too long.

[@armidevil]

After 20 years, I know how it will end for the shaman. You will be shocked again how much you can nerf a shaman before the expansion starts. Good luck.🤣🤣🤣

[@andalc8758]

Glad to see ele doing good but i have a feeling blizzard will nerf it hopefully not too much

[@petersimon2619]

I really wish they would give an earth ele choice node that would make it useable against trash packs. Let me become an earth ele and get the health and DR without having to worry about it taunting off the tank and killing melee with frontals.

[@FrostyBrostorm]

Welcome to the ele club

[@perkulant4629]

My main is gonna be resto shaman, alt presvoker.

[@Ripdric]

You son of a bitch, i'm in! Have been torn between mistweaver and resto shaman, slightly prefer fisting over sploosh but enhance and ele are more my jam than windwalker. I guess its time to heed the call of my ancestors!

[@kalejarmar3187]

I think i'm going with Evoker deva/aug this season, with enh and survival/BM as serious contenders !

[@dv5290]

Deva. Is so much fun! Feels really good

[@kalejarmar3187]

I noticed this just now also, the ancestors do not cast ele blast for me when they expire...

[@ZucoWoW]

@@InfamousMaximus yeah sometimes they do sometimes they don't... I submitted a bug report.

[@matobi91]

I think I’m going shaman (all specs are amazing) and Evoker (yes even aug, but less than the others)

[@CybreSmee]

Nice, Im considering the same. Just wait to try SVhunter first. Btw Z, can you turn on Streamer mode in Details so we can follow your rotation?

[@ZucoWoW]

@@CybreSmee I've tried turning on streamer mode on details on the beta several times now and it just doesn't seem to want to work... Had chat help me with it too and we couldn't get it to go. I'll try to get another program running so you can see what I'm doing.

[@CybreSmee]

@@ZucoWoW Awesome, thanks man.

[@madhudson1]

Resto shaman has two good hero trees for m+, which have different builds and playstyles

[@yazan80]

@zucowow what race are you planning for your shaman. Also regarding race have you plans on doing pvp in which it might affect your race decision. Love your content.

[@ZucoWoW]

@@yazan80 I don't do PvP, so the race decision doesn't matter there... Right now I'm Vulpera, which, was mostly because chat made me do it like 8, months ago. I'd prob switch to Dwarf now. I'm going to push some pretty hard content in the War Within, so the Dwarf defensive racial seems like the best choice.

[@Kristinjaimie]

I agree with you about resto, it looks strong. But you're smoking something with the ele take. I know the numbers are high on the beta atm, because Blizz buffed it to high hell. But let's face it, the spec is a mess. Ele shamans asked for primordial wave to be removed and it didn't happen. We asked to not be spamming lava burst all the time, and it didn't happen. We don't want liquid magma totem as a capstone. We asked for a better spender than earthquake cos it's shit and mobs get moved out of it all the time, and all they did was make it drop on target, which could be done with a macro. Stormbringer is totally unplayable for elemental. The numbers are god awful and it feels terrible to play. You are a 1 button spam build, either LB on ST or CL on AoE & Tempest taking over LB feels terrible and breaks your rotation when casting CL's. Both fire build and lightning build are just 1 button spam specs with a terrible AoE spender. We also asked for updated visuals cos we're running around with 2010 cataclysm visuals and didn't get that either. There's no excuse. We were left till last again and got shafted. We should have a more interesting rotation than spamming one button and should have more lightning themed abilities as the only lightning user in the game. The rework was half assed and lazy and the only reason people will play it, is because blizz tuned the numbers so high, cos we were just flat out the worst spec in the game. Numbers wise, we may not be anymore, but visually and rotationally we remain the worst spec in the game.

[@ZucoWoW]

@@Kristinjaimie I'm gonna hard disagree with you here. Rotationally, Ele Shaman operates on a priority spell basis... So it's always going to be a bit chaotic depending on procs. The skill is in knowing when to spend those procs. In my mind that doesn't make the rotation frustration or awful to play, it's actually more engaging and fun for me. The spec also isn't a mess at all... Defensively we've never been in a better position with multiple buffs to talents on the class tree. I agree the Stormbringer nerfs didn't make any sense for Ele and I hope Blizzard sees that and reverts them, but on the whole, Ele is in a fantastic spot heading into the expansion.

[@Kristinjaimie]

@@ZucoWoW That's ok, I kinda hard disagree right back lol. I don't disagree entirely about there being a priority, however for years now the top spell of the priority list has been lava burst, and it was basically up all the time. So much so, that it was more beneficial to actually overcap maelstrom and ignore your spenders and continue to spam lava burst. That doesn't appear to have changed. Farseer is an incredibly boring, more of the same, passive hero talent tree. We've been spamming lava bursts for years with prim wave and we wanted something different yet we just got more of the same. The hope was that Stormbringer would offer an alternative where we could play a lightning build. However, the priority in ST is only LB & in AoE is CL. The priority spell list doesn't change because the stormbringer talent tree doesn't synergise with anything in our spec tree and so there's no point casting LvB as Stormbringer. So once again you spam one spell. Tempest is also just terrible, and we continue to use earthquake as our AoE spender which remains the worst AoE in the game. There's just no denying that Stormbringer is a dead tree for ele. Every ele shaman will play Farseer. And we're all pissed about it because we wanted a change from spamming LvB. Fundamentally I think the problem with ele is that they're trying to make two builds, two different rotations and two different gameplay loops in one spec. Look at mage, you wanna play fire? Cool here's a fire spec with a rotation and gameplay loop. Wanna play frost, cool here's a frost spec. As shaman it's like wanna play elemental ok, but now which subspec of elemental? Fire or lightning. They're trying to split one spec tree into two sub specs and it doesn't work. It basically means each play style uses like max 3 buttons and ends up just feeling like you spam the same ability the whole time and have no real rotation. Anyway, my point is, as things stand we're still spamming LvB and this will only get worse with more haste. Still have prim wave, still using earthquake, still have shit visuals. Yea sure we've been given a new defensive totem. Fine, whatever. Not the best, but it helps I guess.

[@EssenceOfTrance]

Definitely saw this coming. There's so little footage of Ele online, Mage is just stealing the spotlight from everyone. I was decided on Mage myself but my friends might roll one too. I might just go Shaman!

[@attinger117]

I believe I am also going to main resto/enhance but I like ele too. I’ll play all three. I like the shaman changes so far but I really wish they would follow up with polish like they have done for some classes over the last two months. It doesn’t make sense that shaman get their changes crammed into basically one week with a few later on, but other classes get two or more months of constant iteration on their changes.

[@perkulant4629]

It's hard to play?

[@ZucoWoW]

Not really no... It has priority spells you need to cast and procs you need to respond to, so it's a bit more complicated than specs with a set-in-stone rotation, but once you play with it a bit you get the hang of it.
