Deep dive

Patch 11.1 - Undermine(d)
Elemental Shaman

Lightning Rod

Elemental Blast, Earth Shock, Earthquake, and Tempest applies Lightning Rod which duplicates a lot of you Chain Lightning, Lightning Bolt, and Tempest damage on to the targets affected by Lightning Rod.

Elemental Blast and Earth Shock will always apply Lightning Rod to your target.

Earthquake prioritizes your target, but if your target already has Lightning Rod, it will apply it to a nearby enemy instead.

Most of the time you don't have to care about Lightning Rod as on Single-Target it will just get applied to your target, while on AoE your Earthquake will automatically apply to other targets, however, on AoE you need to think about how you use Tempest. Whenever you cast it you want to try to cast on a target that doesn't have Lightning Rod or is about to fall off. If there's a priority target without Lightning Rod you can also try to apply it to that target.

Understanding Maelstrom

Maelstrom is an essential resource to play around. Due to our mastery, Mastery: Elemental Overload you will generate Maelstrom randomly and you have to be ready so that you don't overcap. This is why it's important to spend as soon as you can.

In some AoE scenarios, you will be playing Swelling Maelstrom which reduces the chance of overcapping.

When you are playing, try to think how much your spells will generate ahead of time and learn to understand how much you will have in one or two globals from now, so you can plan your rotation ahead of time.

Understanding Mechanics

Rotational min-maxing is just one aspect of mastering a specialization, but there are numerous other key mechanics that influence your performance. Use the following guides to improve them.

Trinkets

Below you can find active and passive alternatives to our recommended trinkets. Do note that some trinkets are better than others depending on the mythic+ dungeon.

Active Trinket alternatives

  • Signet of the Priory
    • Good on-use option, but since it is a 2 min CD it doesn't line up great.

Passive Trinket alternatives

  • Mug's Moxie Jug
    • If you cannot maintain Eye of Kezan stacks throughout a dungeon, Mug's Moxie Jug is better.
  • Reverb Radio
    • Great passive option, especially if you are low on Haste.
  • Candle Confidant
    • Good passive option.

Embellishments

  • Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension
  • Writhing Armor Banding
    • If you don't have access to Best-in-Slots, these will be your best embellishments.
      • Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension has to go on your weapon.
      • Writhing Armor Banding is best to put on your Cloak or Wrists.

or

  • Dawnthread Lining
    • If you do have Best-in-Slots, then you should use any of these 2. Sim whichever is better with your current gear.
    • The optimal slots to craft on are Cloak, Belt, Boots or Wrists depending on your available gear.

Remaining Sparks

  • Crafted items are 675 item level and regular items are 678 on max item level therefore it's not beneficial to equip crafted items outside of your 2x embellishments unless you don't have access to other high item level gear on that slot.

Races

Patch 11.1 - Undermine(d)
Elemental Shaman

For min-maxing an Elemental Shaman in Mythic+, different racial traits can provide a tremendous benefit to your character. If this is not your top goal, picking a race that fits your style works just as well.

  • Stoneform -- Dwarf
    • One of the most potent racials in Mythic+ currently and historically.
    • Dispels Magic and Bleed debuffs.
    • 2% Critical Strike Damage increase.
  • Blood Fury -- Orc
    • Strong DPS racial but it doesn't line up with Ascendance.
    • 20% reduced Stun duration on you which can be useful in some Mythic+ dungeons.
  • Rocket Jump -- Goblin
    • Do a small jump in the direction your character is facing.
    • While you're in the Rocket Jump animation you are placed on a global cooldown until your character lands.
  • Berserking -- Troll
    • Strong DPS racial and great to combine with Ascendance.
    • Reduce the duration of movement impairing effects by 20%.

Recommendation

Dwarf is the strongest option for Mythic+ as an Elemental Shaman. If you are trying to push higher key levels it is by far the best.
