hi guys,


got a few questions about sham

As elemental what best stat to stack ? crit / verse ?

And as healer ? hate / verse ?

enh viable or not even worth tryin ? ;(


Edit : ofc with full set of the fang
 
as elemental u stack gold to roll another character since u screwed this one
as resto hate/pain/anguish in this order
enh became extremeely week after the nerf, just be merciful to urself

ofc with full vglad set
 
if you just want to see big earth shocks, obviously just stack int > crit/vers(c/v up to you)
if you want to play properly;

you don't need to worry as much as you'd think about int/sp - your heals are going to be insane regardless, and your damage will be fine with ele force - however obviously it's still important

you want a decent amount of crit, not too much to be detrimental but at least 10%
your haste should be high & your stamina should be high also unless you're trying to be glass cannon, & finally vers is less important than you'd think as ele

newer/bad players may tell you ele isn't good, but that isn't the case at all, it's simply in the shadow of resto at the moment, & i guarantee they're playing elemental fucking awfully. ask any smart person who played bfa shaman and they will know the potential elemental carries

Phron, as far as Elemental is concerned -on a 29 (not 20) what is a good amount of INT to shoot for before you start giving it up for the Haste you mentioned?

tbh i simply wouldn't know the exact numbers, it wouldn't be much different than a 29 resto shaman, just slightly less vers/haste & more crit - and idk 29s stats i just know 20s

presuming you aren't fully gf'd you are probably going to just wear 5piece slither-scale so that will get you a nice amount of intellect with all other bis/near bis gear

haste is pretty situational anyway, you only really want to focus on it if you know you're in a game where you are going to be in medium/long skirmishes a lot & want to speed up the time it takes to get 60 or 100 maelstrom over and over, otherwise it is pretty low your list of priorities, probably next to vers

Aurora for resto. For ele you can't really go wrong. Pretty much every stat is awesome for them in some way. Just get a healthy mix and you're good.
 
I get that skill is a factor, but really, you are doing less than half the damage of Resto as Elemental as in lighting bolt does like 300 on resto same cast time... on elemental it does 150... same ratio for lava burst... and once every 8 lighting bolts you get to do 600-1000 with earthshock (which by that time does not make up for all the damage you did not do as resto, not even close for making it up)... even with overload it's still only a 15% chance.

What are you doing to generate that much maelstrom where Elemental is not realistically just doing half (of resto)... even if you were just shooting at a target dummy.

Just trying to figure it out.

no one is saying ele is better than resto
resto is overpowered & fotm and as such it should NEVER be your standard of comparison

i think ele is getting earthen rage back instead of elemental fury, no?
earthen rage will be far more beneficial i imagine + the lb buff

u stalemid, u stack 1-2 shocks, u coordinate with rogue and boomie and burst down someone in a splitsecond w/o any chances to react to that burst.
but thats working only for well coordinated teams in wargames
