Somebody in general discussion was saying her elemental shaman gets no love from wow and I told her I would check my talent tree and see what i am doing differently,
I specced for AOE and on my elemental talent tree , I went to the right side of the tree and selected 3 talents.
The 2 I can remember now are " unrelenting calamity" and " stormkeeper" but there is one more on the same string that buffs them both . And my little shaman does terrific AOE damage in group with chain lightning. ( I think the third talent lowers " stormkeepers’ recharge time)
Towards the middle bottom of the tree there is a talent that rewards malestrom, so my earthquake renews more often and on the left side i used a talent that buffed lava burst for single boss damage, so I am fairly rounded.
Faced with a large group mob being tanked I can cast " stormkeeper’ then “Chain lighting” and if “earthquake” has enough malestrom by then " earthquake" and another " Chain lighting" , so I am very useful in dungeon when its being CC’d
I thought I canceled the elemental tanks talents to choose " stormkeeper" but I was wrong he is on the shaman tree, it was the fire elemental I almost sacrificed, which frankly I almost never use in group anyway.
So I do not know how anybody can say their Elemental shammy needs more love.
You just have to spec for dungeon group and everything falls in to place.
