performanace of Ele shaman in 4.2?

[Alemi]

ive been losing a few games, reached 1504 though, dropped from 1200 to 1135 in 3v3 though (3 ele), can you tell me your playstyle in 5v5 do you place totems then wait for them to come to you, or totem, spirit walker's grace and nuke one down

For me, it depends on the map and the team I'm playing. Back in BC/WOTLK, the general strategy was to drop totems and wait for them to come to you. Mostly, due to tremor totems and so we could prevent getting sapped. I've gotten so used to this strategy that, for the most part, I stick with it.

The only map I usually rush on/go really offensive is Ring of Valor. Mount, run in, immediately purge someone to get in combat (prevents sap) and then nuke to my hearts content. Ruins of Lord depends on how fast the other team makes it to the center ruin, if I can get around it before they can, then I'll go offensive. Nagrand is just LOS city, so it's almost always a park and wait. Sewers BEM is the same (getting a kill anywhere but on the bridge/center of the platform makes it way too easy for them to get a rezz off).

That said, I'm used to the waiting game. I like to make them fight me on my terms even though it allows them to get a bit of control on me at the start.

Edit: Keep in mind I'm 5 boxing too unlike you two so I have to really play cautiously.
