Elemental Shaman Rotation / Prio for 4.0.1

MaxDPS has amazingly updated it’s website already! Epic I know but heres the important snippets:

Rankings are based on the following priorities:

1) Elemental Mastery used as often as possible
2) Flame Shock dot is kept up
3) Lava Burst
4) Searing Totem
5) Earth Shock with 6 or greater charges of Lightning Shield
6) Lightning Bolt

Flametongue Weapon imbued
Lightning Shield is kept up

Now for my hate rants regarding changes to the Elemental Shaman Tree:

Earthquake – Now yes it’s a form of elemental thing, but physical damage? Sort of WTF here? Something I’d expect to see in the enhancement tree.

Earth Shock – Becoming trendy again, shame it’s not a interupt like in Vanilla, would have owned then, I see some massive Earth Shocks inc! and possible PVP whine!

Acuity – ….sad, that’s 2% crit dropped.

Elemental Precision – …Shaman back on spirit gear now? What the fuck!

Wrath – Well I quite like that, was quite useless with a lock in the raid but 10% scaling.. well that’s of interest.

Elemental Mastery – EPIC, I love it!
Chain Lightning is now pretty useless, for single target DPS atleast it would be a massive loss, any more than 6 Lightning Shields would cause more damage than a bolt* so 9 will look to cause insane damage!  Basically Flame Shock, LvB, Bolt till you’re high stacks with shield and Earth Shock.  Actually making the Rotation abit more interesting.

  1. This sounds awesome but I do have 1 question what will the effects of Searing totem be better than just standing up close to a boss and act as a melée and just range from there and use magma totem

  2. Searing Totem ?
    Noob -.-

  3. @YouSuck ROFLMAO, get a clue nublet.

    You only use magma on 2 or 3+ Mobs, Searing totem lasts longer and does more single target dps.
