Get rid of earthquake?

[JohnGabriel]

I run a pali tank + 3 ele shamans + 1 restro shaman

Seems the best thing to do for AOE is drop 4x Magma totems and cast fire nova every 4 seconds.

Havent really got much use out of Earthquake, was thinking of dropping that and putting the point into something else. Even restro can use magma totem/fire nova, so may even out damage 3x earthquakes.

What do you all do for AOE?

Earthquake is a waste to spec into. The problem with ele aoe is the ramp up time it takes, and that casting fire nova only becomes more or less viable after you have 3x flame shock up (per shaman). With magma you need to stand more or less in melee range, good thing the duration got buffed a lot.

Best way I've found to AOE: flame shock > chain lightning > magma if in melee range > Lava Burst
And keep repeating that process until you have 3 targets flame shocked (you can go up to 5 with current fs duration, and obviously more come 4.2). It's important to glyph chain lightning and cast it whenever it's on CD (and obviously when you can't cast fs or fire nova), since it returns quite a lot of mana. As long as the mobs have enoughHP and there are 5 mobs, this works. If not I'd just use normal 1 shot rotation but dot up as many as you can for lava surge procs and throw in a chain lightning now and then.
