I might need to switch from ELE which I'm awesome at to Enhance which I never played before because our frost DK wants to go Unholy and we need the melee haste. So you don't find it necessary to desync your weapons and use the enhance swing timers to time your LB's to hit before the off hand hits? It honestly what turned me off of enhance to begin with lol. Edit: I heard you mention that as spellhance we don't desync and pay attn to the swing timers. In ICC what will be the meta, spellhance or physical wf?

@WalterBurn
Жыл бұрын
You need a spellpower mainhand for this spec. Phys weapons are awful, and they only get worse the more targets you add to a fight. There was a brief moment in Ulduar where if you had exactly GSD+Caress+Constellus, it was worth swapping to GSD for certain fights that have no cleave like Algalon, IC, Thorim, but only after using the SP mainhand to snapshot your fire ele, and you also needed to be good at weaving since the main benefit of this swapping was being able to bolt weave with synced weapons (There are no spellpower weapons you can sync past wraith strike, but there are phys weapons. This is their main benefit.) This phase, however, every fight has some cleave component to it. It's pretty much never worth it to swap off your spellpower mainhand in ToGC, and once you're farming ToGC and you get a reign of the dead, there's really no debate anymore since windfury weapon cannot proc the trinket. After you get the trinket there's never a time where phys mainhand or windfury enhancement are worth using. If you're new to the spec you should just grab a spellpower weapon ASAP and use that always. You'll probably find guides or random people on the street using phys weapons and pure phys gear but they're either clueless about the spec or using out of date info, this spec's classic wotlk iteration is being theorycrafted in real time as each phase releases so I would not trust any info you read online at face value.

Bis list is wrong. Spellpower neck (Cry), bracers (Dark Essence), and belt (Biting Cold) are all better than the agility+AP ones, both on single target and cleave. Gemming haste is also only better when you get 4 piece of the new togc set, the reason haste is stronger this phase is because of the flame shock bonus on that set. Chaotic skyflare is a better meta gem this phase also now that we have access to both nightmare tear and enchanted tear as blue gems to use, along with more good socket bonuses to choose from. You're also going to probably have to gem expertise if you get hellscream slicer since you drop a ton equipping it over caress. The stormstrike glyph is better than the feral spirit glyph. The only reason you would use feral spirit before is as a replacement to flametongue glyph for when you swap to a phys weapon with windfury. It's also significantly worse than the stormstrike glyph when you consider general gameplay as well. Lot of the time you save wolves for bosses unless you've got more than 3 minutes of trash before pull, stormstrike you just use constantly and the glyph's dps gain scales with number of targets whereas wolves don't. ToGC has a ton of cleave in it, and chain lightning is relevant on a lot of the bosses which the glyph boosts. Phys swap is useless this phase as soon as you get a reign of the dead, windfury weapon pretty much dies this phase since it can't proc RotD. Not to mention there's zero fights in ToGC where unequipping your spellpower mainhand is worth it even without RotD. Should also use a real swing timer, people say weaving lightning bolt is not possible anymore with unsynced weapons and 1.8 mainhand, but they're just wrong. You can weave on 4 fairly often if you have a proper swing timer set up with maelstrom, there's just really no reason not to have it. Also you didn't mention anything about snapshotting fire ele in the rotation section, it's very important this phase since RotD has no icd on equip. You can equip a full set of spellpower proc gear, proc it all pre-pull, then swap on your real gear and snapshot your fire ele with the buffs. Many buffs persist after you unequip the item. Lightweave, the new chain heal totem, and Dying curse/pandora's plea are the big ones. Your guide gives the impression that people should just drop their fire ele 5 seconds into the fight after pressing opener buttons but it's not the case. It snapshots nature spellpower, so you want to maximize this stat then drop it. Ideally you should have a UI element that shows all the relevant buffs for fire ele so you can see when important buffs like dark pact are up before you drop.

Thanks for the tips although I personally dont agree with all of them! Feral Spirit glyph is better than stormstrike on northrend beasts. I mentioned snapping fire elemental in the managing cooldowns section. Did you watch the full video before writing this? I am making a separate video for proper spell power snapshotting/gear to use before combat. I can guarantee you do not need a swing timer if you're using your maelstrom procs at 4-5 stacks. Never talked about going physical for any of the fights so not sure why that was added. We are not gemming haste solely for the 4 piece, haste is a strong stat in general without it. I made this guide to show people what I do to get top parses, this is not the end all be all of shaman guides. I hope to get better at writing guides and your feedback is helpful. Thank you.

@@stookishaman 'I can guarantee you do not need a swing timer if you're using your maelstrom procs at 4-5 stacks.' Why not? There's not really a downside and you're not going to be able to tell whether or not a bolt will clip otherwise. I agree that it can be worth still to bolt on 4 and clip an auto with the amount of spellpower we have right now but ideally you see the windows to weave properly when they arise. 'We are not gemming haste solely for the 4 piece, haste is a strong stat in general without it.' The 4 piece is what pushes haste above being worth 2.0 AP, this is the threshold it needs to meet to be worth gemming over AP. Before the set bonus it was very close, pretty much personal preference, but after set bonus I think haste is sitting at worth around ~2.1AP per point. "Also the bis list you're suggesting is what we call an "unethical bis" in the shaman discord" The only really difficult piece to acquire is the cry because every spellcaster wants one. The other off pieces you compete with pretty much just boomkin and mage on, only other caster specs depending on the raid's loot rules. I've never agreed with this idea that people need to put 2nd bis items as bis on a bis sheet because mages would be too upset or it's too hard on an LC, especially in WotLK where lot of people GDKP or split for their items anyway. Kind of tired of it personally since it happens every phase, this is the only spec in the game people do it on, and it just results in people getting misinformed in the long run. I can still go back to look at Ulduar bis sheets and they're literally all wrong because of this, even though it's all been on farm for months and anyone putting in the time and effort should've been able to get what they need by now. 'Never talked about going physical for any of the fights so not sure why that was added.' When going over macros you mentioned a weapon swap one, just clarifying that it's not really useful in ToGC. Lot of people ask about phys, and before a lot of the theorycrafting was done people thought phys would be stronger than spellpower mainhand as soon as Ulduar gear was on farm. This turned out to be not true, but many players still carry that misinfo with them, I'm sure even more so in a youtube comment section, so thought I'd mention it. Wasn't saying you thought phys was great in ToGC.

@@WalterBurn in my opinion, if you’re holding casts and hyper focusing your swing timer you’re going to have less CPM. Clipping your swing timer on a less than 1 second cast is a very very minimal dps loss. I always encourage more LBs over clipping. If that makes sense.

Any tips on fire ele placement for Jaraxus? I found that when I placed it on top of the boss at the beginning of the fight, after we shifted to the portal my fire nova was not in range of the enemies sometimes. Same with beasts, is there a spot to place it on the 1st boss such that it will be in range to proc fire nova on acidmaw? Thanks.

You can wait until the first portal goes out and then use your fire ele but you'll be missing the spell power from wild magic pot for your snapshot. The best way is to ask your raid lead to move back to fire nova range after portals/volcanoes die.

If the tank moves away from your totem, I would just replace your fire ele, as the cleave from magma and your fire nova will out dps the ele. I did this and parsed 99.

So when your using a SP weapon you still weave your lightning bolt/chain lightning at 3/4 stacks? I thought we only did it with physical weapons cause theyre same speed and it doesnt clip our autos? Or is the clipped autos worth missing for extra lightning bolts?

Hello. Am I correct? In raid with improved devotion aura or tree of life and mortal strike or aimed shot or wound poison my spirit wolves will heal me for 159% of their damage. Anub'arak will leech 30% of my hp every second and will heal for 115% of damage dealt. For example if my spirit wolf hit boss for 1000 damage he will heal me for 1000*159%=1590 hp. When boss leeches this 1590 hp under mortal strike he will get healed for 1590*115%=1828.5 hp. So if my wolfes for example deal 70000 damage over 45 seconds they will heal boss for 70000*182.85%=127 995 so they will do negative 57955 damage am i correct? In the end boss will just heal for 50k hp from my wolves and they will be useless?

wolves are a dps loss on anub P3, ideally you summon outside of leeching, but if you have to summon them during it you should summon them either during lust then put them on passive or summon when you get penetrating cold. In either case you only attack with them when you have penetrating cold to keep yourself alive. Any other time during anub P3 they shouldn't be attacking.

Only 1 glaring issue is that you mention to use maelstrom at 3 to 5 stacks and you have no swing timer. You're def losing attacks by clipping this way. I'd recommend getting a swing timer with both hands visible and only really using 5 stack LB (occasional 4 but only really outside of lust window to weave properly)

What if I told you clipping your melees with a spell power wep is a very very minimal dps loss. We want to cast as many LBs as we can. Clipping your weapons with a physical weapon is a greater dps loss and will require a swing timer to be optimal.

@WalterBurn

The spellpower one is better generally, but there's tech where you can proc the spellpower enchant pre-pull, swap to a cloak with the AP enchant, and proc that as you get into melee then snapshot fire ele with both. They have no ICD on equip, the buffs persist after unequip, making this possible. If you don't want to bother with that then SP one is the best to have on for general gameplay. If you're min-maxing the pre-pull fire ele buffs then you want AP on your bis cloak and spellpower on a side cloak that you swap off pre-pull.
