Thank you for this compact guide that covers the most important things. As a newbie to Cataclysm, it was very helpful to get an overview of my favorite class and specialization.

bro your videos are hilarious and easy to follow, keep it up!

I love the boom boom!

I love this guide, fantastic

Спасибо за видео. Смотивировало докачать своего шамана.

I wish they would keep the vanilla lightning bolt animation or least make an option to choose. (in Cata they "updated" it into that 2d abonimation..., which is why I don't wanna play my shaman anymore :( Great video mate! boom boom! :)

Helo. Im sory i have questsion before download whitemane cata. This servers have xp buff like warmane wotlk??

Arent totems raid wide so wdym by melee group and caster group?

Haha thats a funny guide, ty :D

Couple questions: Why drop windfury even if you’re in a melee group? Wouldn’t that raid buff be provided by a frost dk or enhance? And how strong is tailoring? I thought it still has the lightweave cloak attachment which was bis but I can’t remember

Multi spread flame shock + nova while keeping chain lightning is a better dmg ratio in mass aoe (6+ targets) than earthquake, so even then you never get it.

What do you think of taking herbalism for the haste, so we have an even stronger burst window, and we sacrifice a little int?

@meusana3681

I used that with troll racial and steps of time + insignia. So 2 mini BL's to extend burst period and 2x 2k haste procs. I found it only helps having 1 or the other, the flat intell on your initial burst is just so strong late game.

@@naejimba intell is a double stat, both of which are the best stats for casters. Disregard what tauri veins says about crit being bad. That only counts for BIS when intellect is gonna passively contribute all your crit needs anyway. Till you get there intell>crit 20%>haste/mastery

@naejimba

@@meusana3681 , well I was talking about the haste from herbalism vs. any of the intel buffs, and in that instance intel always comes out on top. I disagree completely with ever placing crit above haste or mastery for Ele, and I don't know how you can justify this. Lava Burst is our most damaging spell, and it is a GUARANTEED crit with Flameshock up, so most of its value is simply wasted. This is further compounded with the CD of Lava Burst being reset at times, so it makes up a larger percentage of our rotation in Cata. If you have an argument to present, I'd be happy to hear it.

@meusana3681

@basorry, but you sound like every theory craft ive ever heard that completely gets shut down as soon as I ask them to link a recount. Lava burst just isn't making up the majority of your damage. Yes increasing its damage does boost dps, but your dps isn't solely dependent on lava burst, nor is it ever your top damage dealing spell. Saying crit is useless because a spell that made up 20% of my total recount doesn't benefit from it, is simply moronic, and parroting 9 year old meta analyzers. Am i saying go reforge your haste/mastery to crit, ofc not. But till you get 20% crit either passively from intell or from gear, no other stat comes close to it in regards to a change in dps apart from hit rating. Again, this very quickly isn't the case as you enter 390+ territory, as t13 set is very mastery dependent and again, you start passively critting anyway. Your theory kindoff falls apart for the very reason we're arguing for intellect>haste. Intell is as good precisely cuz it lets you crit.

I noticed Fire Nova was not mentioned in your AoE rotation. Any reason why?

Small difference is precast a lightning bolt on pull before you flame shock, may not be much but an extra bolt (or more with mastery proc) could separate a 99 parse from a 100

​@Beranin One spell cast is normally never the difference between a 99 and a 100. You should always precast if possible though, all though the standard (Pre Phylactery WOTLK opener excluded) would be as followed : Prepot > Precast LB > Flame Shock > LvB This takes advantage of your clearcasting damage bonus for your first LvB, however this bonus is removed in Cataclysm, and so the opener is the same but with a little less wiggle room to squeeze in extra damage.

Troll hands down and it's not even close (there are also a good deal of beast bosses in the expansion and you get a small dmg increase for that as well). It's such a small difference and the skill gap is the highest in Cata/MoP that you can play what you want, but if you wanna sweat Mt. Dew go troll.

Cannot wait for Alex+Blizzcon. The cognitive dissonance. The coping. The drama. The classic Alexensual flip. *grabs popcorn*

The good news is just about any spec works if you are good at it, and both ele and boomie basically fill the same role in a 10 man where you are the one who swaps for any three heal fights. Hell, Cata is the most alt friendly expansion in WoW's history, so you can have time for both. =)

@@kysfggt , on top of that, since mastery and haste are REALLY close you can favor mastery a bit more and not have to worry about hitting a haste cap during CDs/lust.

Orc isn't bad at all (AMAZING if you wanna do PvE and PvP) but min max is troll hands down.
