Ele shaman one-trick pony?

Classes Shaman

Sup yall.

I was running some heroic dungeons yesterday and noticed ele shammy is not doing great outside the ascendance burst at all.

Are we a one-trick pony spec now?

Also my god Tempest needs to be an instant cast (lower the dmg I don’t care) … I can’t stand popping up Stormkeeper just to have to HARD CAST stupid Tempest before I can do instant casts and by that time I’m probably overcapping maelstrom and then when dropping EQs the TEMPEST procs again… dude this spell is janky as hell.

I’m fine with Farseer spec (and I think currently it’s weaker for m+ and raids) although the ancestors get really dumb sometimes throwing lava bursts and other skills randomly to mobs off my screen keeping me in combat… seems like this has been an issue in TWW too.

Agreed. It feels like it needs a bunch of new talents or skills to make everything sing together, but we’re not getting any of that.

Stormbringer isn’t viable anymore. Idk what Blizzard was thinking but it performed lower than Farseer in every key when piloted by an actual shaman and not some random log from archon. I think I know why Blizzard nerfed it but I dont want to give that information away yet and it has to do specifically with Farseer. Your best bet for keys is to run this talent setup.

This has been making me crazy in Midnight. Soon as combat ends, if you have an ancestor up, there’s a good chance it will just select a random hostile in range and attack it.

Just tested it on mythics today. It’s way more fun and fluid to play. Very much what I played in season 1 TWW.

Damage is better and I pump more from pack to pack but still feel we’re kinda weak in overall damage.

This has been happening all last expac. They had time to fix this

I don’t remember it ever being this bad, especially in these new dungeons that they’ve crammed tons of side trash into that you’re expected to avoid.

They put way too much trash in these dungeons. It’s absurd

I hate ele shammy now. It feels really bad and really gross. I actually logged out in the middle of the 4th or 5th starting quest. Maybe some day I’ll break him free but until then shammys are off the list.
