![]() Im completely open minded here, am I missing something? Maybe later LB will scale a lot better with higher spellpower because of shamanism but still seems that you get significantly more dps with CL in the rotation. I cant imagine a 10% spellpower bonus and 4% damage bonus can make up for that deficit. Even still, by default CL does 45% more dps than LB due to it being 1.5 cast and almost 300 more base damage. In the end, Lightning Bolt simply gets better.Īh I didnt even notice that chain lightning didnt benefit from shamanism. A 4% damage increase on a spell that's being cast so often is a really nice bonus, especially because it scales, while the 2% crit bonus gets more and more insignificant.Īnyway, the reason I'm leaving out Chain Lightning, is because of the bonuses to Lightning Bolt in the form of the Glyph (4% bonus) and Shamanism (10% more spellpower contribution) that doesn't go to Chain Lightning. ![]() Since we're leaving out Chain Lightning of the rotation, *ALOT* of Lightning Bolts are being cast. FS, CL, Searing, Magma, Nova totems all gain from it.īut, crit doesn't really matter to Flame Shock or - especially - Lava Burst. The main reason being is that the crit affects all spells cast, instead of the boost to a single spell. I've found that even in the most protracted of fights, Flametounge Glyph still contributes to higher DPS. After doing some substantial testing with and without it. The only real change to our glyphs was the lightning bolt one. It is focused more on PVE than PVP (as I also enjoy doing PVP and arena's) but I do use improved Ghost Wolf for instant casting of the spell, as well as Improved Fire Nova totem, for the 2 sec stun that those talent points provide. Just for interest sake, here is a link to my build. So, what do you raiding ele shammies think is the best combo of glyphs and rotation for raiding? Would be interesting to see your thoughts. I found the following changes to increase my DPS more so even after the buff we received from 3.0.8, and not to mention the extra mana conservation from using less of Chain Lightning. ![]() With the glyph of Flame Shock, I apply my Flame Shock and rotate between Lava Burst (when it is off CD) and spam Lightning Bolts in between. On boss fights I actually hardly use chain lightning, unless there is AoE to be done. Since 3.0.8, and the changes brought forward from the patch, the glyph of Lightning bolt has become (imo) a must have for raiding elemental shamans. I changed over from using the Glyph of Elemental Mastery, and Flametongue Glyph to the following > Glyph of Flameshock, and Glyph of Lightning Bolt (note that I kept my 3rd major glyph as the glyph of Lava). I for one noticed the other day that changing 2 major glyphs made quite a DPS output difference for me. I would like to ask all those raiding ele shammies out there to post their thoughts on this matter.
