[Enhancement Shamans] Preperation for 5v5, macros, talent build and other partly useful stuff

I have yet to use it for chain heal... I have one key for my heal CD heal totem, and I normally just drop 4 healing rains with a broadcast next click. Ideally, the goal is one kill during ascendance and hope to get another shortly there after.

As for the holy power version for some abilities you can use 1-2-3 holy power, I often times when fighting rares will swap to my tanks window and will spam word of glory to keep him up. He makes so much holy power it makes sense to use it to keep himself up. But the DPS abilities will sometimes require 3 HP.

i find healing rain is been hit to hard now. chain heal in my eyes will heal them a lot better with 2/3/4 shammys

please dont use healing rain in pvp, even without echo chainheal is better and you stay mobile

To help address issues with input lag, Stormlash Totem Stormlash effect now has a 20% to activate but deals 5 times more damage (down from a 100% chance to activate). Overall damage output should remain unchanged.

Thats interresting, just hope stacking stormlash increases the trigger chance since its not an aura, i got 15-55k damage from stormlash totem per shaman in the Stormblast global with auto hit, usually 3-4 stormlash proccs so a 100% increase would be, if I'm lucky it could boost my damage anywhere from 0 to ~275k (avarage) during that global (even more in theory: 4 attacks have a 20% chance to trigger a ~20-65k or <130k crit with ~28% crit chance), stormlash numbers are pretty rng, dummy numbers ofc

I'd say thats amazing if it stacks, and it does stack for now you got the buff 4 times but it cant trigger multiple times from the same attack

another note, before the patch it happend sometimes that I blew ascendance and stormblast was on cooldown without hitting the target, nothing happend, since 5.4 i get this bug very often and yet I dont know what exactly is going wrong but I'm suggesting to NOT use stormblast together with ascendance in a macro, I think thats the problem because I havent noticed it with the 2nd stormblast during asc

update on slt, had only one hour of testing so better try it out yourself

getting 1-5 proccs within 10 seconds with 1 stormlash doing 2x stormstrike 1x ll 1x earth shock 1x ue with wf/ft enchant,

1-7 proccs with 4 stormlash up, same rotation/window

in both cases a shaman had 0 proccs once

I think I prefer to rotate them as always, but for sure the damage peaks can be very retarded with stormblast

would be great if I could find out if elemental force could trigger slt

Stormlash totem applies an aura, so stacking them together should in theory do nothing (and it didn't for sure until the change). If you see more procs when you stack them then I believe it's a bug or just luck. Unless they made it a pulsing chance (1s stormlash 1 pulses for a chance, 2s stormlash 2 pulses for a chance, 3s stormlash 1 pulses for a chance ... etc).

dropping 4 stormlash still applies 4 buffs but before the hotfix it made no sense because you had 100% procc chance anyway, so I thought it should stack now, more testing now

# got new weapons now, oneshot damage through 75% resilience ranges from 480 to 600k avarage, looks great, stormlash rarely does even more damage than stormblast

well just done like 10 games lost every one but one.

Death Kights are just owning me to hell now. warriors are a big prob still even more stronger then before now they have gear. they can aoe my two chars without even trying all my games are over in less then 20 secs with the other team winning most of the time both my chars die at the same time. can not get past 1280 even if i win a few games ill just lose to many after.

this season is not going well for me at all.

Spending less and less time on the shammys and more time on my locks just framing the timeless isle.
