The smooth brain build is going to really help my middle-aged brain succeed with this class 😂 you’re a godsend for this video. I just picked shaman up again for the first time since BFA and I love the visuals of the class, just haven’t been able to wrap my brain around the play style until now. Thanks for the video homie!
@@Bondbl As a mostly Resto-Shaman main, I like thew more complex Ele build when I dps, but sometimes I just wanna shut my brain off and zap stuff XD Thanks for the guides man
Thanks for the guide and the builds. I tried the smooth brain variant, I did a 97 log in a +10, so I think it's absolute solid and much easier to play, I will stick with that.
you've got a "youtube" voice when doin this and its pretty funny when you compare it to your stream lol awesome guide, cant wait to go thru it. smooth brain been makin my dopamine SPIKE
I have been testing a lot of builts in m+ including the ones you mentioned here, and all of them have pros and cons, overall ele sham is super strong right now doesnt matter the choice if you do the right rotation. Personally i like to carry magma totem, it gives you a strong miniburst with primordial wave when you dont have ascendance, and if you are lucky you can proc ascendance taking advantage of the haste it provides.
I've also been playing with pwave and magma totem. I think it had better maelstrom generation where the echoes build can sometimes feel like you are starved.
Thank you so much for this, the WoWhead guide confused the hell out of me, so this was perfect! Now if only Ascendence was a 2min CD like every other big dmg cd in the game.
In your mythic plus ST rotation portion at 10:30 in the video, just going ascendance gives you 40 maelstrom, which you can follow up with lavaburst and an earth shock, Anytime i try to repeat it i dont have enough maelstrom to do the opener, im always 2-3 lightning bolts short from my first earth shock
do we get an updated guide soon? for example: as i saw you are not using the recommended embelishments urself. youre currently playing the damage proc embelishment
Thanks so much for the guide :) After changing from Ench my dps it's finally starting to look something. Maybe not best because its keeps moving between 600k-1mil at ~3mobs aoe and 800-1.4mil at single target in M+ EOGS build with ilvl617 :v (but 617 was achieved for Ench well still should witch some EQ) but hey... its finnaly not 500k :v
LMT not utilized, I am getting great results, utilizing it going in to ascend or procs, together with PW just as an extra burst filler in between the rotation you mentioned... this is on dummy's ofc. being able to cleave for a longer POT
@@fofolacosa123 read what the talent says bud. either pick it and use it, or don't pick it and use the point somewhere else:) I'm not lecturing anyone, just trying to help out the community. don't be a cringy justice warrior and use your brain:) if i'm wrong, i'd be happy to learn why and get better 👍
I’ve thought about this a lot as well and it would feel so shitty to have to flame shock a mob then randomly throw out a frost shock just to proc EE that it almost feels not worth. I do love the suggestion and might try this anyway. Otherwise I’m only using EE when I ice fury on 3 targets or less. Thanks for the feedback!
@@Bondbl I think while the tank is pulling it’s gotta be worth it to sneak a frost shock right before ascend, but mid pack ye it must not be worth to refresh the buff after 30s, but still might be.. and if we don’t frost shock at all on big pulls then there’s gotta be another talent that will be better overall for m+ build
While playing aftershock, is there a particular reason to cast chain lightning earthquake everytime and overcapping on maelstrom? Isn't it better to just use 2 EQ to not overcap since CL is not buffed by SoP¨?
how do you generate enough maelstrom for lava burst into earth shock 3 times in a row? 10:30 i do the same rotation and i do not even have enough maestorm for the first earth shock
Hey! Awesome guide! couldn´t find it in comments, if it was answered my bad! What build would you use for cleave fights on raid? Thanks again for the awesome content!
Hey I would take a look at top parsing elementals then evaluate their builds. It’ll depend if your guild has good aoe or not. If your guild needs more single target then you could run a build towards that
I honestly don't understand anymore. This whole EOGS thing where you cast earth shock and then earthquake does like 3mil dps max and that's on dummies. This would all make sense if ascendance and storm elemental had a 30 sec cooldown but they don't. What is the rotation for when you don't have the cooldowns? And what is the point of even taking icefury if you're basically never gonna use it?
you use icefury to proc elemental equilibrium, which requires you to use fire, frost and nature dmg within 10 sec of eachother to gain a 10% dmg increase for 10 sec every 30 seconds. and it helps with movement heavy fights
Icefury is used on st rotarion or when you gotta move in AOE and it procs fusion of the elements when you cast other element spells, giving you a free elemental blast. The rotation without cds is the same as what you do after the opener....chain lightning to get maelstrom, earth shock, chain lightning, earthquake (empowered by eogs), repeat...cast tempest when it procs and thats it
Icefury in aoe I’ve been sending if I’m moving with no spirit walkers grace up or spenders to cast. Helps proc EE. Icefury is always used st just not the frost shocks
@@Bondbl You do not even use Lava Burst procs on aoe at all to buff quakes or shocks ? also is there a point to use empowered frost shocks outside of movement windows ? I saw ofc your answer questions at the end but i am talking just for instant procs not casts - also do you delay elemental to line up with ascendance ? or is it worth to use alone too ? talking always for m+ scenarios saw about ST that u line up - thanks great guide btw loved it
On the EOTG single target I'm trying your exact rotation but I never get as many lava burst and earth shock procs as you. It just seems like i get to do it twice or sometimes once and have to lava burst lightning bolt or i'm out of lava bursts after 2 goes. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
How did you get your weakaura to call out tempest? where is a good resource for ele builds besides wowhead and icy-veins, I feel like I'm missing something, how is your camera that zoomed out?
really nice guide. Best one out there. I feel like all they had to do was just make Ascendance useful to be fair. Maybe throw in another ability or two for a little more of a "fun" rotation. was pretty fine before. seems more complicated now in my opinion lol. Not a fan of the alternating earth shock and quake thing, kind of odd lol. idk i feel like all these classes rotations are starting to get out of hand or im just getting old lol. I think they try too hard and idk who for lol.
@@Bondbl please do, kinda struggling with this. Been doing what you say, but my DPS fell off hard after 11.05. Even in AOE, CL, earth shock, CL Earth quake (changing targets to for lightning rod) and not doing much DPS. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks for the guide Bond. Question, is it better to spam CL on 2 targets cleave fight instead of LB? I mean eventhough CL output dmg is twice LB for cleaving, but the maelstrom generation on 2 targets is kinda poor.
Has anyone tested the proc rate for DRE? Im only getting it a couple times in dungeons and its frequently close to when everything is already dead or im low on maelstrom. Ive had a lot more success running pwave and lmt. Is therea tested build that uses those?
Either is fine. If you’re running herald talent do sk first into ele. If you run the other talent then ele sk. Either way you won’t notice anything but the little guy you summon when SK does great damage
Question. With the new changes to ascension, wouldn’t we ant to prio our tempest after a earthshock or quake for the extra overload? I noticed you would just CL and the SoP proc just makes it hit an additional target. Just a thought really
Hey there I don’t recommend smooth brain as much since blizzard made big nerfs to talents that helped this build. Liquid magma totem and pwave builds are better right now
can I ask one more FAQ? do you chain lightning on 2 targets or just keep lightning bolting? so let's assume it's a 2 target boss like in Mists, or the Silken Court in the raid? tl;dr what's the target amount requirement for chain lightning?
Aftershock for me sims waaaaay below SoP, is it because I still have low mastery and high haste, or is it supposed to be like this and it's just easier to pull on real play?
Both viable. I like both tbh. Sop is more predictable and great damage but afs has such a bigger upswing if you get into some crazy procs and that means more Dre procs
I grabbed your WAs that I wanted, I have the tempest one with voice but when I press asc/dre procs it doesn’t say ascend like yours does. Is that not pushed into your package on discord yet/is there a quick fix?
I have been seeing some builds use Surge of Power over Aftershock. Not sure if I missed it in your video and saw nothing about it in your tags. What's your take on it? Personally I have not been enjoying using it because the rotation seems to be incredibly reactive to setting up SoP. But I notice when I do its an incredible difference in damage. I love aftershock because it makes the rotation a lot more simple.
Maybe you can help me out! We are taking Enhanced Imbues but not Thunderstrike ward and we are not using Flametounge. What are the benefits of Enhanced imbues?
Thanks for the great guide. Just wanted to know how much damage do you lose by playing the smooth brain build. considering that it is much more fun, i wouldn't care if i do like 5% less overall damage compared to eogs build.
Sorry for late response but smooth brain is nerfed after blizzard nerfed talents like lightning rod. I recommend playing builds with ele blast eogs and pwave magma totem as those are now better
I know that this video is 3 weeks old, so that could be the reason... But I noticed that in this build you don't include liquid magma totem/p-wave/splintered elements. However you do use these talents in all M+ videos I have watched since... which makes sense because of the MASSIVE haste buff from splintered elements every time you p-wave on multiple mobs. Is this something that changed since the posting of this video? Seems pretty integral to huge damage. Furthermore, you use ele-blast instead of earth shock in those videos. Is that only relevant to super high keys where you need the extra damage on prio-mobs?
Yeah blizzard made nerfs after posting this guide. Nerfs to lightning rod chain quake haste etc. I’ll be releasing an updated build guide to include 2 additional builds that you mentioned
Excellent guide. None of that turbo min-maxy thing to gain 0,3% damage. One question - can you pls link the weakaura saying "tempest"? I keep forgetting and sit for several seconds on the tempest proc. Cheers!
how many targets do you switch between aoe and ST? like at 3 targets do I still use lavabursts/icefurys but just chain/earthquake fillers or just full send aoe
Thanks for the vid man was waiting for this one. I’m a little frustrated though as a new player. Why did they make so many drastic changes halfway through the season? I was just getting the hang of things as a noob. Spent bare time farming and working on haste and crit gear too. Don’t know why they didn’t just do this for s2. A little frustrating
Its because the old playstyle was super degenerate and boring. No one enjoys spamming lightning bolt over everything. This current playstyle I could see being overwhelming though for new players, the best advice I can give is just to practice this every day on the dummies
@@shortestwidereceiver yeah but they completely killed farseer. Last patch was a good split. Storm bringer for aoe and farseer for raid ST. They could’ve at least kept it as a viable option
@@Bondbl that’s fair but they didn’t have to kill farseer. Last patch had a good split between storm bringer and farseer. They could’ve at least let farseer be viable but it seems to be completely useless now
@@JohnDoe-od1pu That's true, farseer is dead and gutted, goodnight sweet prince. Imagine though if the spirits could ascend with you when you popped asc? That would be so badass
Wait what you use lave burst in singek target not lightning bolt? Is that why my damage has been so shitty wtf lol. So in AOE you always use earth shock to earthquake with the EOGS even woth aftershock. I always felt like my DPS was higher when I just eathquake spammed in AOE. Is elemental blast not worth it?.
Thank you for the guide! I see you double sending your tempest proc lightning bolts instead of weaving them in with LBs. Is it not worth it to weave those and better to just buff earth shock when you can? I imagine it's also not worth considering the GCD there by tagging them onto the end of hard casts.
The smooth brain build is going to really help my middle-aged brain succeed with this class 😂 you’re a godsend for this video.

Finally best guide ever ty m8
yes! so true!
Thisbis prob one of the best build/rotation vid ive watched in a long time. Thank you
Love that smooth brain rotation for my little brain

Thanks for the guide and the builds. I tried the smooth brain variant, I did a 97 log in a +10, so I think it's absolute solid and much easier to play, I will stick with that.
Nice work!
Do the majority of players even bother logging m+? So how useful is getting a 97 when most people don't log?
@@leighjamieson1856 basicaly nobody logs. anyone who isn't afk gets 99 logs.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this format , ty
Even if they nerf ele damage, it is soooo much more fun now.
actually making use of all out abilities and an interesting rotation. Love it!
It’s incredibly fun right now

now his is a proper guide to a class. much better thank you
Great guide as always. Greetings from germany ❤
solid guide. when you go over the rotation you should have it up on the left side of the screen or somewhere

Yep! Ele has some cool lmt variant options as well
I would have never guessed the ST rotation for SB changed this much, cant wait to try this next time
Thank you so much for this, the WoWhead guide confused the hell out of me, so this was perfect!
Now if only Ascendence was a 2min CD like every other big dmg cd in the game.
Wish it was 2m as well
as a guy that never played this game is this a good character build for someone new
it's challenging/fun and we're top tier rn
very nice guide mate
a really nice guide many thanks to you good sir
thank you!
Appreciate the smooth brain build for my dumb ass.
yea eogs is better if you play it perfectly. sometimes the small gain isnt worth the brain focus imo hahaha
Its not worth
great content bro thanks for the guide

Finding a lot of the value of Lava Burst is in Power of the Maelstrom talent tbh, especially when playing SoP
Exactly. Especially since tempest works on it now
How do I get the voice addon/WA for ascendance, tempest... Thanks

it's actually a great opener, when tanks is gathering and you're spreading FS
There are some lmt pwave variants I’m testing for keys and they have also performed well. Great that ele has choices
You're playing elemental equilibrium in your m+ build, you should throw a frost shock before popping ascendance for the 10sec 10% damage buff.

what's the target count to drop your single target spells and jump into the smooth brain aoe rotation?
thank you sooooooooooo much
Hi BondBL, thanks for the amazing stuff. When can you update this video? Is it still valid?
There are two new builds I want to explain. The smooth brain build still works but not as good as pwave lmt builds.
Bond's Declassified Shaman Survival Guide
On the EOTG single target I'm trying your exact rotation but I never get as many lava burst and earth shock procs as you. It just seems like i get to do it twice or sometimes once and have to lava burst lightning bolt or i'm out of lava bursts after 2 goes. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
Not doing anything wrong. Aftershock needs procs and either you get them or you don’t
How did you get your weakaura to call out tempest? where is a good resource for ele builds besides wowhead and icy-veins, I feel like I'm missing something, how is your camera that zoomed out?
Hey it’s available in my disc linked in the description :)

I’m getting old here too haha
Where the PWave/LMT M+ variant in this guide Mr. Bond? Notice you pla ying it a lot on your stream but no mention of it here.
I might do an update video with more builds :) these new lmt pwave builds came out after
@@Bondbl please do, kinda struggling with this. Been doing what you say, but my DPS fell off hard after 11.05. Even in AOE, CL, earth shock, CL Earth quake (changing targets to for lightning rod) and not doing much DPS. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
thank you for guide
Great guide what UI are you using that tells what move to do, I like that!
That’s the luxthos ui you can find on wago or my discord linked in the description
For the raid ST build. People are primarily playing ele blast. How different is the opener considering it costs more ms to cast?
Use LVB so buff SK charges until you have enough to do it with EB. If you get aftershock procs send EB again and don’t overcap
Sick
Thanks for the guide Bond. Question, is it better to spam CL on 2 targets cleave fight instead of LB? I mean eventhough CL output dmg is twice LB for cleaving, but the maelstrom generation on 2 targets is kinda poor.
It’s worth to cl. Double the damage is better than small ms gains
yeah, chain lightning does more for 2 targets unless you have Surge of Power or Stormkeeper, then its best to Lightning Bolt on 2 or fewer
Has anyone tested the proc rate for DRE? Im only getting it a couple times in dungeons and its frequently close to when everything is already dead or im low on maelstrom. Ive had a lot more success running pwave and lmt. Is therea tested build that uses those?
Dre will be low. Previous seasons with LVB spam it still was lowest proc rate
in M+ EOGS AOE you say Storm Ele into Stormkeeper. Is this correct? I figured you'd do Keeper before the ele
Either is fine. If you’re running herald talent do sk first into ele. If you run the other talent then ele sk. Either way you won’t notice anything but the little guy you summon when SK does great damage
Question. With the new changes to ascension, wouldn’t we ant to prio our tempest after a earthshock or quake for the extra overload? I noticed you would just CL and the SoP proc just makes it hit an additional target. Just a thought really
Hey with sop you tempest after shock or quake. However with aftershock it doesn’t matter. Tempest prio mobs or ones without lightning rod
Nice
I´'m so new here. What possion is the one you use in the Smoth brain build?
Hey there I don’t recommend smooth brain as much since blizzard made big nerfs to talents that helped this build. Liquid magma totem and pwave builds are better right now
can I ask one more FAQ? do you chain lightning on 2 targets or just keep lightning bolting? so let's assume it's a 2 target boss like in Mists, or the Silken Court in the raid? tl;dr what's the target amount requirement for chain lightning?
Chain on 2 target
Aftershock for me sims waaaaay below SoP, is it because I still have low mastery and high haste, or is it supposed to be like this and it's just easier to pull on real play?
I’ve seen big success with both aftershock and sop. Give them both a try. With sop always try to send tempest with it
do you have any suggestions on how to limit or control aggro? I am struggling with getting through Tier 8 delves with a lvl 50 Brann.
Aggro in keys? Tank dependent. I haven’t spent much time in delves sorry
so whats your opinion on surge of power and after shock I keep seeing the two change around freely
Both viable. I like both tbh. Sop is more predictable and great damage but afs has such a bigger upswing if you get into some crazy procs and that means more Dre procs
Yooo when DRE procs am I spamming EQ or Chain Lighting? I usually have full maelstrom when it procs. I am thinking if 3+ lightning rods, maybe CL?
Don’t overcap. Dump Ms on quakes. Cl to fill
2 - 3 target rotation would also be useful
Is farseer really dead? Is there any salvaging the lava burst spam spec?
They’ll need to buff ancestor windows or something. With the cdr removed from pwave it’s over
It's still popping off in pvp I hear lol
Thx u
Hey, how can i equip 2x Nerubian Enchant? Iam crafting 2 of them with the Ascendence on my weapon but cant equip both.

I will look into it an update tonight. I’ll change the date on it so it’s clear as well
I have been seeing some builds use Surge of Power over Aftershock. Not sure if I missed it in your video and saw nothing about it in your tags. What's your take on it?

I recommend using aftershock. Seems to be performing better plus you can high roll procs like crazy
Maybe you can help me out!

Only way to get seasoned winds

Hey it’s available in my disc linked in the description :)
Could you share your insights on the latest nerf content?
Depression is all I can say :( about 20% overall for keys and 10% st
Dumb question but what amount of targets do I drop from aoe to st rotation
Bond nice guide tho u got the pedagogy skill
how many targets do you switch between aoe and ST? like at 3 targets do I still use lavabursts/icefurys but just chain/earthquake fillers or just full send aoe
Depends if there’s a good prio mob in a 3 target scenario I’ll use more icefury on it. Usually though for 3+ you just keep using aoe prio
how do u do on 3 targets? just chain lightning with st rotation?
Thank you
No problem, enjoy the guide!
Not sure if you mentioned this in the video, but should you only use tempest with a surge of power proc for single target and aoe?
This is correct if you play surge of power depending on builds you run
Thanks for the vid man was waiting for this one.
I’m a little frustrated though as a new player. Why did they make so many drastic changes halfway through the season? I was just getting the hang of things as a noob.
Spent bare time farming and working on haste and crit gear too.
Don’t know why they didn’t just do this for s2. A little frustrating
Its because the old playstyle was super degenerate and boring. No one enjoys spamming lightning bolt over everything. This current playstyle I could see being overwhelming though for new players, the best advice I can give is just to practice this every day on the dummies
Yea old style was just spamming the same thing over and over. I do think ele is very enjoyable to play right now though.
@@shortestwidereceiver yeah but they completely killed farseer. Last patch was a good split. Storm bringer for aoe and farseer for raid ST. They could’ve at least kept it as a viable option
@@Bondbl that’s fair but they didn’t have to kill farseer. Last patch had a good split between storm bringer and farseer. They could’ve at least let farseer be viable but it seems to be completely useless now
@@JohnDoe-od1pu That's true, farseer is dead and gutted, goodnight sweet prince. Imagine though if the spirits could ascend with you when you popped asc? That would be so badass
Wait what you use lave burst in singek target not lightning bolt? Is that why my damage has been so shitty wtf lol. So in AOE you always use earth shock to earthquake with the EOGS even woth aftershock. I always felt like my DPS was higher when I just eathquake spammed in AOE. Is elemental blast not worth it?.
New build uses eb and eogs. Much better since blizz nerfed us after I released this guide
Thank you for the guide! I see you double sending your tempest proc lightning bolts instead of weaving them in with LBs. Is it not worth it to weave those and better to just buff earth shock when you can? I imagine it's also not worth considering the GCD there by tagging them onto the end of hard casts.
Use arc discharge, you can buff them but then it gets tricky if you get another tempest procs with arc discharge still available
@@Bondbl makes total sense. Ty!
