Hey all, my team just hit 60 and so now that it matters Im wondering how other 5 shaman teams use their shocks? Generally speaking. I know different scenarios call for different ones but 90 % of the time do you just have all 5 shamans use earth shock? do you have it set up where each shaman uses a different shock? etc.

Frost shock hits harder, so use that for deeps(mad aggro though.) Other than that, use flame shock for LvB when you get it. I cant remember the last time I used earth shock.

I believe every Shaman would have to cast his/her own flame shock on the target to get the bonus for Lava Burst.

I use 1 frost shock on my mai. And 4 flame shocks on my alts, flameshock has a longer range, so if my main is in range for frost, then I know that the rest are in range for flame. And since frost shock slows, it helps kill runners by leaving them in range for the 5 lavabursts for the kill shot.

I was also thinking of working out a rotation with 4 shocks and 1 wind sheer but dont know about it yet. Putting down 5 grounding totems spells havent really been an issue yet. 'Cept for AOE

Wind shear is not on the shock cooldown, nor on the global cooldown anymore, so I'd have a separate button for that.

/stopcasting
/cast Wind Shear

Very important button, not to be mixed in with your DPS rotation

Down the road, Flame Shock for Lava Burst.
But you said you are 60th now.
And Lava Burst is not until 75th or so.

Doesn't hurt to set up Round Robin for Wind Shear too. Then you can lock down any caster for as long as you like.
