[NERFED] SPAMMING CHAIN LIGHTNING - Elemental Shaman Phase 4 PTR Rundown

Elemental shaman is not something I expected to really get into, and I really only gave it a shot after seeing the target dummies outside of Orgrimmar getting absolutely blasted nonstop by chain lightnings. And just like most poeple I figured it was a cool gimmick but you'd just run out of mana right away, and maybe this would be vaiable later on the game when we have much more mana. Boy was I wrong, the simple addition of a few Earth Shocks instead of Flame Shocks here and there make all the difference.

Because chain lightning works with the Rolling Thunder Wrist Rune, every time it hits it has a 50% chance to give you another Lightning Shield Charge (and that even includes Overloaded Chain Lightnings) you gain these charges extremely quickly. And so frequently dumping them for additional mana can drastically increase your longevity. Chain Lightning costs so much that you'd run completely out of mana after less than 10 of them in a row.

In this video I explain this simple concept along with what else is new on the Player Test Realm with the Shaman Class, but more specifically from the caster persecptive. The PTR has new exciting and interesting runes for every class, but this class is so extremely well rounded with infinate cleave, mana, and single target damage. What more could want in your new Phase 4 main class?

Honestly, this is the ele shaman class fantasy and if they can somehow get it balanced, I think it's perfect. They're harnessing all the elements of the earth, it should be a chaotic storm of bullshit.

Chain Lighting is now only -50% cooldown.

[angelmusicvideos]

thank god there is a way to sustain the mana lost from spaming.

[trey_dizzle]

Can you still two hand and wind fury with shaman?

[Zeph]

The no chain lightning rune is going to bring enhacement up there on the cleave damage fights.
Im already getting 3 procs before chain lightning resets now itll just be this giant duel wielding minotaur with lightning flying everywhere!

Meanwhile in feral druid land - Shift OOM

[jonathonhale]

Enhance shaman when on lich king is best imo... they add this flame wheel ability which does an aoe off of each flame shocked target so just sit and melee and flame shock everything and spam flame wheel while also meleeing

[garycannon]

did they really make shaman even more powerful? oh my god the forums are going to go nuclear

[nyanqt]

[SuperBranFlakez]

Ele is going to ruin BG's GG alliance

[queenmarsia]

Season of lets just piss off alliance with shamans even more in pvp

[otwordsone]

Wack in cata and mop u just spammed CL with no penalty and you would t OOM with good gear wtf

[BebopHero]

listen i main a shaman... but at this point it feels like a meme how op they make us. Then they also have to make paladins equally op, when all along we were supposed to just be the pseudo-support (bard) class...

[Eptackt]

I don't understand who the fuck thinks this is a good design? It'll kill the game

[needwhippin]

if ele stays like it is a lot of alliance are going to quit.

[needwhippin]

pretty sure no one is sleeping on ele sham…
