I've been working on some chardevs for a 39 Elemental Shaman, but I've never played a Shaman before so it's all in theory right now. I'm trying to figure out the significance of haste for an elemental shaman. Outside of shocks, shears, and totems, all their spells have cast times, and specifically Ghost Wolf and Lightning Bolt don't go below 2 second cast times unless you have haste. Here's a chardev I made that tried to get haste whenever I could without sacrificing too many stats:
chardev 8 - WoW Cataclysm
The hp is actually 3088 as the +150hp chant doesn't show up in chardev. The BoA chest would probably be better, but I passed it up for Warpwood as I'm grinding honor for BoAs and it's going to take forever to get them all, so I'm just getting the BoA mace for now. That only brings me to 5.54 haste though, which seems pretty low. I'm wondering if it's even worth it, or if I should just ignore haste and go for more spellpower or crit. I guess it's just the fact that slow Ghost Wolf casts makes me sad. I also didn't put any professions in as I didn't know what I wanted to take. I'm thinking engineering as shamans don't get any stuns, so bombs should be good. I guess herb too for lifebloom.
Ignoring haste, I came up with this:
chardev 8 - WoW Cataclysm
I end up with 3178 hp and 30 more sp, which both seem nice, but I have 0 haste. I figure in the end the haste isn't enough to justify sacrificing the bit of hp and sp? Thoughts?
