About 6500 Mastery (80% or higher)... You def want at least 30% haste... The rotation feels awful if you have less... Above 30% is ideal, but wherever you can stack Mastery, you should... Crit is less of a prio... Something like 4800 is solid.

You get the same on Enh, it looks like it flows a bit better too because it also spawns lightning puppies

wtf is the point of theory crafting with talents that we know need buffing? without any current mention of buffs being made to them already? that sounds stupid as hell lmfao

I appreciate that!

That's exactly why I love it! Save the nuclear meltdown from happening!! :)

Another person for sure. The buff deals damage based on the amount of damage that was dealt, so dps players are gonna do way more damage per hit than we will.

@@ZucoWoW and that extra dps that we give to another player counts to us on the details?

@@HumbertoM21 Yes it shows up on our meters

Yeah for sure... Multiple streamers have brought up the problem with having to cast a lightning bolt during an Ascendance proc, then switching back to Chain Lightning. It just doesn't work well... I'm hoping they hear the feedback early on and change Tempest so it isn't so awkward.

@@ZucoWoW Ok good thing its a known issue. So hopefully they change it.

There are definitely some incredible themes in the Hero Talents. Rider of the Apocalypse DK is insanely cool... Frostfire Mage is incredibly iconic... But not all trees are going to be able to offer spectacular themes... This tree is lacking some pizaz and some of the visuals need work, but the core synergies here are undeniably strong. There are so many talents in here that make the Storm build what Enhancement shamans have always wanted it to be. Other talents bring some renewed faith for Ele shamans by giving huge synergies with the Lightning side of the tree, something we've been wanting for all of Dragonflight. If you look under the hood, this tree is actually really strong. Hopefully in time Blizzard can give the visuals and effects the love they need.

Yes very boring.... just the same old supercharged LB and CL. With plenty of passive buffs. I would like to see them fully utility the storm frost fire mix of elemental damage with some unique spells for each and a way to combo them in together. Enhancement had this somewhat with a mix of spells like physical/nature dmg with SS and LB, with a CL or flame shock fire nova aoe, and then the frost strike/shock for some combo single target burst. Plus you had sundering for earth dmg for a quick burst and stun knockdown utility. Elemental shamans should have the same way of mixing in different elemental spells for different purposes to really be a "Tempest Stormbringer" style shaman.

NOT THIS TIME! lol... Shaman has been in a fine place for awhile now

@@ZucoWoW for who? Resto shammy is last for m+ and mid pack for raids lol and as far as i know enhancement hasn’t been good since legion

@@INexperienceiskey Have you played it at all this expansion? The stats you're referencing are an incredibly small picture of what's actually going on with Shaman. I pushed up to 3500 io in season 3 on my Resto/Ele Shaman... The Elementalist build for Enhance has also been really strong. Go check out Waves on twitch and you can see it in action.

No no, when you do the Storm build you don't take all of the Lava Lash and Frost Shock talents... It's a very different build.

Exactly , they could just replace it with a random storm elemental trash mob from primal voti and it would be much better lol

cant upvote this enough

Blizzard really underestimates how much ability animations affect player enjoyment. Ascendance could look amazing, but as is I'd never touch it.

@@Quetzelkoa Some may not like this , but I use a certain program with which you can swap spell animations/items and many other things , which is against tos but I have been using it for a great while now and no warns or anything , including other people who have been using it . And one of the main things that I use it for is simply giving my enh shaman appearance of 2 polearms , which enlarges the stormstrike/crash lightning animations ... and it is much better ... And with a Tauren it looks like you are actually charging a powerful lightning strikes and makes it a fun button to press Also since I play only melee specs , primarily blood and enh , I can not stand playing any race that is not a Tauren due to how unimpactful it looks on other races , just a little line that somehow deals tens of thousands of damage ... It makes no sense ... Also oblit animation for Tauren was bugged for more than 4 years I think , made it completely unplayable for me Things like what warlocks have with changing colors of their abilities should be available to all specs , and they do not need to make new effects , just change the hue , adjust the brightness if needed and there it is .

@@Quetzelkoa 100%!! And the reason for that is CLASS FANTASY which is ultimately what each class is really about. I'd never take it either cause it looks and feels lame AF, but if it turned me into the embodiment of the storm / elements (y'know, like actually ASCENDING) id use it every single time.

You're welcome!
