Review on Elemental Shaman Wotlk Talents

[Stack]

now the only question is thunderstorm or NS.
if it really is 20yrds you could keep melee out almost indefinatly.

Just went fiddling with the talent calculator. My problem with the tree is there are now too many talents I want in elemental, so I don't think I'll be getting 20 points into resto for the extra 5% crit on LB! Anyone think Astral Shift is worth taking for PvE? If not, I could see doing 52/0/19. Fears aren't really a worry but stuns & silences can be.

Elemental Oath can get 3-stacked with one opening salvo (hoorah for elemental mastery).

Thunderstorm is pretty awesome. 20y knockback on a rotation is going to be sweet in instances to get meelee off of you.

So much win here.

my issue was if you want thunderstorm , paralyze and oath you have to forgo astral shift and tow or take -1 rank to one of them to get tow. but as it stands if they dont switch tow to say water or a free 5th totem you can drop then its value is seriously diminished by flametonge totem.

however i feel between paralyze and thunderstorm astral shift becomes over shadowed by just not having to deal with melee.

Keep in mind what was limited to 5-man groups now works raid-wide.

That means that ToW will now work raid-wide, and stack raid-wide (if it still stacks).

keep in mind my shamans pvp 90% of there existance, and were already in a party. so its still a nerf to tow for my purpose for atleast 1 of the shamans in my party.

If Totem of Wrath is raid wide I doubt it will stack. Imagine 20 Ele Shamans in a 25 man raid, you'd be able to obtain 60% spell crit from just that totem alone, while I have 34% spell crit unbuffed it wouldn't take much to obtain 100% spell crit and at that point .... well that's some seriously overpowered damage for PvE

[Stack]

if they remove its ability to stack then id prolly go tow, searing ,searing, flametongue
(in woltk im going 4x shaman, 1x boomkin)

WOW!


WOW!


WOW!

Soo much WIN in elemental Tree! Few things i've noticed... 10% more Int! no longer teh lame 5% more mana.. totally worth over the 5% crit! and NS is nothing compared to Thunderstorm!

Improved Shields!?!?! totally worth going for, and can snag instant Ghost Wolf! Improved Water shield 100% to gain mana from a water shield Charge when you crit a heal. not as good for elemental but still!

Wow!

[Ellay]

Improved range on totems though in the resto tree is also another crucial ability. 20 yard base range is brutal. Instant Ghost Wolf would be nice though.

boomkins get typhoon (kinda like thunder storm), +6% more nature damage for the current target, 20% haste for 8s on crit (30s cooldown), roots, cyclone, trees, etc seems like pretty good synergy to me.

also if they do go thru with the 2 spec system (so you can just flip between 2 specs for free) then youve also scored yourself a tank in pve.
