performanace of Ele shaman in 4.2?

Inconceivable!

Just saw a movie on an enhancement shaman using a 2H, he had critts up to 50 k on pvp geared players, and consistent hits of 30-40 k!

That is with windfury + crit + stormstrike

you sacrifice way too much damage(lava lash can crit very high) and maelstrom procs going dual wield.

You can use that combo to kill ppl without FS. But yeah, I do use FS but on another keybinding

me and a friend were discussing the burst potential of these combos

EM, Trinket, FS, UE, LvB, CL and Trinket, FS, UE LvB, EM, CL, as tot the 2nd one with the insta CL, would hit roughly the same time as the LvB.

what do you guys think would provide more burst potential, the insta LvB or the Insta CL after hard cast LvB?

My kill rotation is like this:

Keybind 1:

/castsequence reset=5 Flame Shock, Unleash Elements


Keybind 2:

/assist focus
/use Ruthless Gladiator's Badge of Dominance
/use 10
/use Lifeblood
/cast Elemental Mastery
/castsequence reset=/8 Lava Burst, Chain Lightning, Earth Shock


This hits like a damn truck!

I make sure that all 4 shamans have 7-9 lightning orbs on their shields CL doesnt take long too cast, as Im reforging everything to haste on my shamans.

This post confuses me. Is this in support of 2h for Shaman or against it?

I think hes against it, because it requires the stars to align for that kind of damage... but I'm not sure. Considering my DKs will only give max around 30k damage each in a global(pvp geared target).. I think its pretty good.

Ya...

I mean, those are some SILLY numbers being thrown up in that video. 30k's pretty regularly and the occasional 50k...

It just so happens that I have 4 shamans closing in on 85.

Right now I am looking at subbing 2 Shamans into my team. It might not be better than 4 DK's but it might just round the team out more. Besides all it will take is one shaman to pop off one of those monster crits and that guy is basically dead.

I'll for sure check out the DPS between 2h and dw, however I am sort of thinking that a 2h DPS setup will not only be more efficient for boxing, since DW dps is so proc based, but much easier to pull off due to its simplicity.

For those of you wondering about ele shamans burst capability, I frapsed a video of me and my shamans doing some target practice on a 2,6 k resilience retri paladin with kings buff and 123 k HP! I dropped him with only 4 x FS, UE, s10 trinket and Lava Burst. Im in almost full s10 gear, fully gemmed with intellect and reforged to haste

[Mercbeast]

What do we think is going to perform better, ele or enhance?

My Shamans are gonna be 85 in the next day or two and I'm wondering which set of gear I should work towards first!

PvP or PvE?
