Please post the ideal builds for a pure eleFollow

Please post your builds or the best possible builds for a pure elemental that would give me the maximum crit with spells.

Thanks

Just use logic. It will get you exactly what you want. The talents are very clear and self descriptive. Use the talent calculator at www.worldofwarcraft.com and make a few builds and try them.

Trial and error is your best friend.

Good luck.

Just to give you a little tip. Elemental is really dumb. I know Imp Lighting spells is good, but it just pulls to much aggro. Everytime im in a group with a elemental shaman, he pulls aggro and gets shattered by the mobs he pulls, they do a lot of damage, but they pay for it. If you want a caster, be a mage. Go enhancement.

okay... I already had a build ready for my ele shaman all i wanted was to see other kinds of builds to compare them and see what i could of changed. I do know that ele shamans are better in pvp towards lvl 70 and that enhancement is only good in the beginning, but still thanks for posting.

Things don't just pull aggro you know. The player controls that...your post is way too biased and inaccurate.

Your sig states that you have 2 70s...you should know this. Shocks is what pulls aggro, tell the shamans that you play with to calm down with them and they won't pull as much.

Elemental is the **** once you got it down.

The "if you want to be a caster go mage" line is really dumb. And frankly it's old and annoying.

That is so true, because with the simple lightning attack you can use. That spell is even really good at pulling because it doesn't send out that much aggro and NO i want to usea shaman and not a mage lol.

ya if you know how to play elemental is fine its just like enhancement shaman as far as dpsing we can pull agro but atleast we dont rely on WF to do dmg, which is random burst. Elemental is damage overtime with heavey burst, enhancement is just heavy burst thats it. If you want a good spec this is a pretty common spec

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/shaman/talents.html?5500011503021335105000000000000000000000005230050005010000000

offers good dps and some nice survival. Having improved ahnk is also great for dieing mid fight and poppin back up with decent mana and health. NS is almost a must it helps to spot heal much more affectively. If you want more of a pure dps build try

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/shaman/talents.html?5500011503021335105100000000000000000000005230301105000000000

This is good for heavy crit and loads of spell hit, you probably never need +hit gear which is nice. basicly through talents and totem you will get 14% crit and 12% hit with spells which is very nice this is probably a better build for raiding if you are pure dps. With a moonkin druid you would recieve 19% crit which is a nice. I would say go with first spec i listed for 5 mans and if your raiding and allowed to be pure dps then you may want to give the second spec a try.

I will add, yes you will pull agro specialy if you play like me, i join groups with friend tanks cause unless it is a heroic I go all out and I love it, my groups usualy never have CC me and a lock buddy from my guild have fun Chain lightning and seed of corrupting the hell out of our pulls with a druid tank. We can get shattered hall done in like 45 min with no CC. Elemental is a rewarding spec once you get the gear and puts out heavy dmg, the only problem is the spec lacks CC but the whole if you want to be a caster roll a mage is dumb I have not been out dpsing stacked mages since i was in mostly greens, now that i am in almost all epics i have not found a mage that has a chance.

If someone was smart they would say roll a lock, I out dps most locks but a buddy of mine that has gear half as good as mine beats me, it is sad but I have destroyed locks in better gear so it has alot to do with spec and what my friend says is timing and order of spells master this and lock is the best. So ya shaman is fun but if you must reroll then pick a lock and do some research.

GL to you elemental shaman is fun hope it works out for you.
