Haste or Crit weapon for quad boxing 1800 ele shamans?

[Koralon]

Just hit 1800 and I was wondering if anyone had a preference in the haste or crit pvp weapon for quad boxing ele shamans, thanks :D

also, The new black magic enchant or just 63+ Spellpower?

SP + crit wep from what i've seen.

Well, if ur running alot of haste from before, then by all means, go haste!

I used to be crit in s6, but when I came back I went all out on haste, and....ITS AWESOME (A) :D
I'm running 366haste without haste on wep(sadly, going for 2,2 wep) and along with troll racial/zerk/engi-glove-haste/EM, I have 1,14sec cast with reduced global on chain heals.

I haven't met a single team who could outdps it and I've met 5x boomkin.

But I guess it's how the rest of ur gear is built ;P

Good Luck mate :D

and oh...63 spellpower, U'll need it...u loose the synchronized burst if u go proccs :)

pretty much waht Colakongen said... After i get my shoulders my partner and i are aiming for 2,2k and when i get the 277 weapons ima buy haste, and gem for as much haste as i can. Crit luck nukes just dont cut it anymore.
Most of my kills involves, purge lb lb lvb cl fs. Tbh i dont even care to flame shock my target as much as i did before as that gives them the mark of death and they always pop a cd or a grounding.

Playing at 2,1+ mmr atm and im realy feeling haste is the way to go tbh, but no proc haste. keep it synced all the time.

The other thing I have always liked about haste vs crit in PvP is that it is not penalised by resilience in the same way that crit is. Agree with the above though that unless you are stacking haste, crit is better exp. at lower levels.

I have both crit and haste weapon, i bougth the crit for pvp because thats what people told me and few weeks after i bougth the haste one for pve

Now I use haste for both :p

The way I see it, your already critical on your burst theirfor crit dosnt mean anything there, so the choise is if you want the next attack to crit or do you want it to hit the target faster even if your a shaman who uses frostshock after lavaburst the haste would make it occur faster sinse haste also effects GBC.. I choose to hit faster to make my burst as instant as possible, and also crit is only a chance, haste is a static buff :)

[roflstomp]

so just to lear this up for a quad box sham i need haste. how much haste

[Kruschpakx4]

I've also thought about haste but yeah cant 5v5 multibox atm :S

why? =S

[Zub]

why? =S probably because he's playing 4+1, and missing the +1 atm i'd guess

I'm playing with about 0 haste and i am also considering to try get a decent Hasteset together. Problem is though, that you're somewhat in the need of pve gear to get it proper good.

My advice would probably start with crit if you have no haste at all.

Use ICC Exalted Ring
Haste Neck
Haste Cloak
DLFO if you have it or I guess the haste BM or even the on use haste trinket.
Gem Reckless in yellow/red
Haste 1800 weapon
Haste Eng Gloves or Rocket gloves

If you do go for a haste build you need to make sure that your haste levels are very close to the same on all chars. I wouldn't recommend using the ilvl 264 totem, because most teams spam cleanse flame shocks and you will get your haste values out of sync very quickly.

And how get hit capped?

[Kruschpakx4]

if you want hitcap + a good haste value you need some pve items, pve items for multibox shamans in 5v5? KK!

Ok. WTB?

277 neck would be nice

The flip side to getting flame shock cleansed is an extra 30% haste straight off the bat through lava flows. This should quickly cap you out at GCD if you are stacking haste I suppose, esp. with hero + totem active.

sounds like you'd have to make a ton of sacrifices in spell power and resilience to get any decent amount of haste. Without going into PVE gear you can maybe get 400-500 with 3 gems.. whats that like 9% haste? worth it?
