Just consider the Flameshock -> Lava Burst = molten lava covered target - Go nuts on it? Not that bad Healing Spells reset the swing timer, then so do Elemental (non-instant) spells. With 3.5k damage done and 1k damage lost you're still at a 2.5k damage gain every 10-15 seconds. In the expansion you will probably want to slow/fast with WF/FT to stack crits and Static Shock more. With dual BoJ weapons at 2.50 speed that's an average swing damage of 1462 + 975 =2437 damage with 1 swing of each weapon. That's 585 DPS from white swings and 390 from WF. If I take my own stats, I did 1.3k DPS easily with 45% being white and 30% being WF. The average damage lost is then Total_Weapon_Damage / 2 for each weapon.Įven with 800 spellpower, which you should achieve EASILY, a LaB will crit for 3.5k y would i risk a possible wf crit for a instnat spell crit that will reset the swing timer ON BOTH WEAPONS!Consider this though:Īssume the time in between swings you use Maelstrom is completely random. IF this will reset the swing timers then, hell no. PS: Anyone thinking in the expansion of going to slow/fast weapon combo with FT? Especially at Alpha with the Weapon Spec talents for Fists & Maces I was looking at this possiblity (although I'ld had to subscribe myself to Hand of Salvation I guess with no threat reductions on magical damage :-\) Atleast that would finally mean that the amount of Rogues/Boomkins/Elemental Shamans is of no influence as to what DPS gain they get from you.īack on-topic: If the Maelstrom Weapon talent is going to reset weapon swing timers I'ld rather see the Weapon spec talent back. Off-topic: Imo, they should change Stormstrike debuff to a flat 10% Nature damage increase for 12 seconds, with an added 6-10% for the imp. (don't get mad about it, you should be used to people stealing certain debuffs on a target from you anyway) Depending on their Haste, using their own FS might actually be a downgrade in DPS compared to leeching yours anyway. Stealing one of yours every 10 seconds (2s cast + 8s CD) is far more benefitial. ![]() Flame Shock.ġ) Because with Rogues using Instant Poison all the time your SS debuffs will be gone before your GCD will, especially with Ele shaman, Boomkin AND Rogue in a raid.Ģ) Elemental Shamans, who will do a lot more damage with Lava Burst will steal your Flame Shocks, since they need to be in 20y range to be able to cast their own. Stormstrike and use a SS-2xShock-SS-shock rotation. And assuming you know how to do a shock rotation in enha spec in pve environment ( flameshock -> earthshock -> repeat ) then lavaburst will always critically hit.In the expansion, you will put 1 point in imp. You can get 5 charges of maelstrom weapon in seconds and then just cast lava burst instantly. With all the buffs and synergy coming, I expect very tough PvE raids. Judgements of the Wise will keep the Mana of the Shaman and Paladin rolling out so they can both give their all. Retribution Paladins and Enhancement Shaman are going to be best friends come WotlK (Mutually, not just the ret paladin tagging along for UR and WF ) There are FAR more benefits to Maelstrom Weapon than there were to Weapon Specialization. ![]() Shamans in raid buffs (assuming a similar upward scaling to TBC) will be easily rocking 52% crit rate.Įvery 10 swings you get a instant Lightning bolt, couple that with the right spec and 2 shocks will be free after every Lava Burst. It's by far a much larger dps-beneficial talent than weapon specialization, however, I'm still kinda sad it was removed cause it was also very good, but NOT as good as the new one, don't get confused.Yep.Īnd you couple that with Elemental Devastation and what do you get? 9% more crit 95% of the time. And assuming you know how to do a shock rotation in enha spec in pve environment ( flameshock -> earthshock -> repeat ) then lavaburst will always critically hit. ![]() Weapon specialization was truly amazing, but if you look closely and think this through, you will come to the conclusion that this new talent is even MORE amazing.
