Hmmmm, I wish I had seen the match where this happened. Only a crazy player lets a shaman free.
Every match with a sh.elem, even if it’s warlock + ele shaman, they (the sham) need to be focused. It will be difficult to leave a warlock free but…it is necessary to control the fight because this WILL happen…now, it is rare for a sh.elem to be able to cause this damage to me because I don’t leave them alone, when I notice some moves I use suffocate, block some school or use a defensive skill, etc…
It was a 2s
And yeah, some parts of the burst like Stormkeeper are very telegraphed
But the point is a certain amount of damage just shouldn’t be possible. I only rolled an overload on one Lava Burst in the screenshot
Alternatively, I can Stormkeeper > Skyfury > Prim Wave > toss out the lightning bolts and kill people too. Especially if the Bolts Crit.
You won’t win every match if you’re chain Cc’d, Lined, Grounded, etc. But that applies to any spec and it doesn’t make it appropriate to have this much burst.
The other problem is you can just hit whatever target doesn’t pop defensive instantly, is the entire enemy team supposed to pop a defensive in case the sham just insta casts at them? Should need to build stacks on someone to make this huge burst.

I honestly believe volcanic surge was meant to be lightning enabler for ele.
If you want to see how the build functions outside the 3 mins you don’t react to primordial wave/sky fury/spirit Walker’s grace/ flux melting/badge- watch pikaboos shuffle vod facing cdew last night.
Ele doesn’t have a kit to support hard casting like mage or lock does and is why this setup aims to drop 3-6 chaos bolts on you in a global… Once every 3 mins
Shockingly (heh) the lightning + crit variant is just as lethal with lightning rod or double sk, and jus normally casting .7s lightning bolts that can overload for upwards or beyond 250k
As long as ele remains a lottery spec it will toggle between disgusting and forgettable. It’s a spec that is overdue for a rework, starting with mastery.
I vote Overloads nerfed in PvP and default damage buffed to offset
But what I did didn’t rely on lottery damage. I even if that single Lava Burst doesn’t overload, the Lightning Bolt would have because of the way Stormkeeper works. It’s actually a Volcanic Surge/on Use Ascend build. Crit amps Lava Bursts raw damage during Ascend
Also @ Lasso the Ascend Capstone and 2 minute Ascend talents are viable (at least for whatever scumlord content I’m testing.) Although, if you really want to make a max one shot, you wouldn’t take them
