It is bananas how slow elemental maelstrom generation is!
The most redeeming quality for enhancement, at least to me, is how many times I get to use my heavy hitters. There are times when I can’t uncap my resource bar because of proc’s chaining together and having a lot of fun things to use.
I am glad we have a huge heavy hitter in Earth shock, but tell me why I can get through some fights without even using it at max value.
One of the traits on the azerite gear increases your crit, mastery, haste, based of specific classes of spell. I think it would be awesome if it was damage increase instead of trait increase.
Have Lightning bolt proc a flame shock. It has a chance to proc an Ice shock, and it, a chance on earth shock. If all 3 shocks proc, it unlocks elemental blast which replaces current earth shock as the spec hay maker.
If I am cycling more of those shocks and weaving some lighting bolts in there with the occasional lava lash, I would find this spec far more engaging and entertaining…
Edit: I have a feeling this concept would be disliked by many, but honestly I wouldn’t mind a turret style caster in the shape of an elemental shaman. Have it play off various totems to place down. Let me throw down a few damaging totems, and let my lightning bolt and shocks, buff the dmg output of the totems. It is just another take on DoT play style but it would be a fresh take on it. sprinkle in my summoning of elementals and I think it could be pretty engaging…
