Shaman Cataclsym Q & A

Here is the Q & A that followed the Shaman Class Preview. We know there are a lot of additional questions and we'll do our best to answer what we can. Keep in mind, this is merely a preview of things to come. Q: Will Maelstrom Weapon include Lava Burst? A: That’s the plan currently. Q: How can Elemental Overload proc Lava Burst when Lava Burst already hits so hard in PvP? A: We’re going to change almost every number in Cataclysm to adjust for everything from single ranks of spells...

Shaman Cataclysm Preview

I am going to start focusing this blog on Cataclysm and how Shamans will change for the next expansion.  Of cousre I will make sure to keep the community abreast of all changes to our class and my favorite spec Elemental, which I have to say is in a really good place at this time. Wrath has been a labor of love from the frustrating times of being so far behind as a dps class that many shamans not in elite guilds worried about if they would get a spot in the raid tonight.  Well we have...

Patch 3.3.3 Elemental Changes and what you need to know

As Patch 3.3.3 continues to wrap up and looks to be almost complete it is time to review and discuss the changes Elemental Shamans will be looking at after the patch goes live.  There are not many changes but the Flame Shock changes do have an impact on rotations and therefore need to be discussed.  Flame Shock: The damage-over-time component of this ability can now produce critical strikes and is affected by spell haste. Flame Shock the base spell of elemental rotations very important...

Patch 3.3.3 and some Elemental Changes

There will be another minor content patch before we head into Cataclysm.  Gnomeregan.  With 3.3.3 there have been some changes to Flame shock and Elemental Oath.  Now I need to head to the PTR to see how these changes will effect things so I will update after some testing. Flame Shock: The damage-over-time component of this ability can now produce critical strikes and is affected by spell haste. Elemental Oath: This ability is now always on as a passive aura.  ...

Lich King Loot Released and the best elemental weapon is...

Tel'thas, Dagger of the Blood KingUPDATED:The only problem with Tel'thas is that it drops in 10 man ICC not 25 man.  This is disappointing that after all of this toiling away in Northrend when we finally bring down Arthas there will be no loot for Elemental Shamans.  The only usable item that the Lich King drops is Royal Scepter of Terenas II with 792 spell power, 31 MP5, and 63 crit rating this should be passed to healers everytime.It would be awesome if we could use swords, I mean look...

Season 8 Shaman Armor Set Released

I do not PvP much aside from the occasional Wintergrasp or battleground.  Not that I don't want to because I think arena matches are awesome and take a ton of skill if you want to compete on a high level.   If I had the time I would love to but raiding 5 nights a week, blogging and real life takes up to much of my time.  Anyway I wanted to post the Season 8 Armor set pics from Blizzard for our PvP brethren. I think this set is OK but it has a long way to go to look like...

Fall of The Lich King Cinematic

If you are someone who does not visit my favorite WoW site MMO-Champion they have done it again.  They have found the Lich King Cinematic that reveals who will become the new Lich King when we finally kill him in the next few weeks.  If you are one who does not want to know what happens before you kill the Lich King DO NOT watch the video.  It contains a major spoiler!!!...

3.3.2 Elemental Shaman Best in Slot List

With Patch 3.3.2 coming next week it is time to put out my best in Slot list.  This loot list will be based on Normal version raid loot since Heroic modes are not available yet.  With the changes coming to our Tier 10 4 piece bonus this patch you should be working towards getting the 4 piece bonus instead of eariler BiS lists which included using only the 2 piece bonus and 3 off set pieces.  The 4 pieces you will be using from the Sanctified Frost Witch's Regalia are the Helm, Chest,...

Patch 3.3.2

  After checking on multiple sources and because Blizzard has stated there will be extended maintenance this week it looks like Patch 3.3.2 will arrive on Tuesday Feb 2.  With this minor content patch comes a nice buff to elemental damage from the DPS increase to Shamanism as well as the change to our 4 piece T10 armor set.  We should see the last wing of ICC released as well.  It looks like we will have a very busy week in Azeroth next week.  Official Patch Notes: World...

Elemental Shaman Buff INC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From MMO Shamanism: This talent now increases your Lightning Bolt or Chain Lightning spell damage by 4/8/12/16/20% (Up from 3/6/9/12/15%) and Lava Burst spell damage by 5/10/15/20/25% (Up from 4/8/12/16/20% I can't believe it, Blizzard has finally recognized that elemental shaman's DPS is not keeping up with the rest of the DPS specs and tossed us a nice buff to Shamanism.  With the recent changes to our T10 4piece bonus allowing us to toss out more LBs per encounter this really is a nice...

Tier 10 4-Piece Bonus Changes

From MMO-Champion, We're not happy with Elemental 4PT10, even with the change Eyonix announced (not requiring Flame Shock for LvB to crit). I think we're likely to completely redo it. We'll try and post soon what we think that change will be so you can make gear choices accordingly. The Shaman Tier 10 bonus has been redesigned and will no longer reduce the cooldown of Lava Burst or enable Lava Burst to be guaranteed to critical strike without Flame Shock present. Instead successful Lava Burst...

Elemental Shaman Rotation in 3.3

First let me say I know it has been a while since I posted any  new information on the Tavern.  Between work, real life and raiding I haven't had much time but things have finally settled down for me again.  I look forward to bringing you guys as much Elemental Shaman information as I can as we make our way through Icecrown Citadel and finally take down the Lich King.  I will also start working on gathering all Cataclysm information as it is released so Shamans are ready when...
