In 17+ years elemental shaman has been meta like for maybe one or 2 patches that i can remember. Whereas lock/mage/rogue have meta specs just about every patch. For the love of shaman, when can we expect earthquake to either get buffed SIGNIFICANTLY (to be on part with Rain of Fire or PYRE) and for EQ to follow a target rather than be a targetted ground effect, or for EQ to do significantly more frontloaded damage in 1 or 2 seconds with less damage over time? Running keys in m+ EQ gets beat by ROF by 300% and PYRE from dev evokers does like 180k crits compared to 20k EQ crits (900% more dmg). Dont get me started on flamestrike or blizzard damage or arcane explosion. Can ele please get some love and a buff before The War Within? Seems like if you ever wanna finish in top 0.5% you need to play meta specs, so ele is at a huge disadvantage at this. Is there a chance to increase the Chain lightning target cap from 5 to 10 or something to help us compete? I think shadow priest is beating ele by hundreds of thousands in overall m+ dungeon damage.
Just wanted to pop my head in and say:
Challenge mode gear + Tauren = winning.
thanks…if only looks could kill 
Kaivax help elemental kill. Buff EQ
I definably agree that earthquake needs to be castable on a target and moves with that target along with every other caster and melee aoe spell thats not bound to the caster or melees person.
Im sure theyre working on a rework for ele but its just frustrating that they havent said anything
It feels like they never keep us informed regarding shaman rework. I wish they would comment on our feedback regarding earthquake or anything really. Doesnt seem like any shaman developers actually read any of this feedback. We could send mythic + dmg log files to show how undertuned our EQ dmg is. Maybe if one of the devs will play ele as an alt and see the limitations of ele…and why cant we have an ICE block/immunity like an Earthen Stoneform that would fit with the fantasy of shamans and be on par with mages.
I think just making burrow a capstone for Enhance part of the Shaman Class tree would suffice. But perhaps make Burrow heal over time or allow you to has healing surge on yourself down there.
Meanwhile - i just did a +7 AV with a destro lock. He did 493k overall. 49% of his damage was just pressing Rain of Fire.
yeah destroy ROF is insane and soft capped only after 20 targets i think…so that’s going to be meta until The War Within. It seems pretty typical that destroy m+ dmg is 50% or more ROF. Whereas our lava burst is 50% of our damage, and EQ is maybe 10% of our overall dmg. Blizzard also never listened to making our liquid magma totem have a 30 sec cd or making it spread flame shock to 6 targets (our max FS cap) instead of only 3…whereas cataclysm on locks spreads immolate to everything in the range so one spell could spread immolate to 40 targets…i may be wrong but that’s the way it feels on my destro lock
