Another positive thing is that I dont have the ruthless weapons yet, and once I get them I will do more dmg which equals more pressure, and I can top of my priest or shamans faster if Im being trained.
Second thing is that most team doing 5s now are resilience capped, and I know certain ppl are conserned about the opposing teams will get better gear and more HP as the season go by. But remember that Ele shamans is one of the classes which scales the best with gear, eles burst will kill ppl in 1 or 2 GCD once we're in full ruthless
Just added a picture showing ele shamans burst.
The rotation I used is:
FS, UE, LvB, CL, Earth Shock (9 stacks on all 4 shamans)
The total dmg done is within 4 GCD and did a total dmg of 678 358.
I popped Elemental mastery and trinkets, and ToW was up aswell

It's actually the exact opposite, hence why they buffed shamanism (which they'll have to do again upon a next tier as scaling will be poor).But remember that Ele shamans is one of the classes which scales the best with gear, eles burst will kill ppl in 1 or 2 GCD once we're in full ruthless

Still dont think full ruthless will be awesome without buffs from Blizz?
How can you have 7 or 9k dps if you do 150k damage in 4 gcd's?Ele shamans are good in 5s now. Im really positive that I can reach 2000 rating or more this season.

Assuming that 4 GCD is six seconds, then 7k DPS x 4 shaman x 6 seconds is 168,000. 9k DPS x 4 shaman x 6 seconds is 216,000. 678,000 damage would require about 28.5k each for four shaman.

Did a few others tests, I know why the dps is low. I took the picture around 2-3 sec after I was finished doing my rotation, probably dropped the dps abit. But the numbers are correct.
Flame Shock, Unleash Elements, Lava Burst, Chain Lightning, Earth Shock. I used the glyph for shocks, so its probably around 4,5 GCD

Wait, so am I to understand that Ele is viable again?!?
A few follow up questions then:
What changed?
How it our survivability?
Mobility?
and manna consumption?
Or is a DK team still the only hope?

BC Arena was a game of Chess, the goal being to outthink and checkmate your opponent.
WotLK was also a game of Chess, the goal now being to take a turd on the chess board before your opponent could move.
Because damage meters suck and don't stop "counting" DPS uptime until combat falls off (at least on target dummies). If you call it 6 seconds just to pad in some fudge, the real DPS over those 6 seconds was about 31k/28k/28k/26k. Not too shabby.
