As I was making new macros for Flame Shock and Lava Burst, I began thinking about crits...

And the thing is.. at level 75, elemental shaman have 2 crit guarantees that are chainable:
  • Flame Shock + Lava Burst
  • EM + Spell



This combo has the potential to kill anything - it sums up to about 30-40k damage I think.



Anyway.. this leads to the old discussion of crit vs spell power. Since we now have 2 crit-guaranteeable (with one being very repeatable..) spells, would it favor spell power over crit rating?
Basically, crit rating does NOTHING for my lava burst, which will probably be the main killing spell for shaman teams.

Is it reasonable to maximize spell power to go for huge lava bursts?
