Elemental Shaman Best In Slot Shadowlands

Stat Ranking

Stats for shaman are hard to get right. Most of the time you want a good balance between haste crit and vers. Mastery is bad in all cases, so you want to avoid it as much as you can. If you generate a lot of casts, getting more crit will make more casts crit. If you have a lot of crit, generating more casts will mean more can crit. Make sure you sim your own character on Raidbots and avoid using addons like pawn to generate stat weights (it's often wrong).

Haste = Crit > Versatility >>>>>>> Mastery

Elemental Shaman Best In Slot Shadowlands 3

Stat Outline

Critical Strike:

Crit is really good for Shamans because of our 250% crit modifier. The downside of this is that our Lava Burst always crits. This means the stronger our lava burst is, the worse crit is for us on single target fights. And due to windspeaker’s, haste will allow us to cast more, generate more procs and therefore more dps.

You still want some crit on single target and for AoE, crit is INSANE. Since you don’t really cast Lava burst on AoE it means everything can crit. So for AoE stack crit HARD.

Ele Shaman Best Trinkets

Best in slot for elemental shaman

For funneling, crit is close to a dead stat as most globals are used on Lava burst.

Haste: Generates more casts because of shorter cast timers. In reality haste is better than it sims due to the fact you might cancel less casts because of movement. It is all around a good stat, and you should aim to have a bunch of it. Haste is strong in single target, AoE and funneling. This makes it a SUPER safe stat to always get lots of.

Versatility: Due to Lava burst critting always, Vers is actually alright for us! Adding more damage to the base of lava burst means it crits higher. Just like haste, versatility works for every type of fight, be it single target, cleave, aoe or funneling. It also grants damage reduction and is the best stat for PvP.

Mastery: Mastery is just a bad version of haste. It doesn’t do anything for Earthquake or Earth shock, it doesn’t affect our pets or trinkets and it doesn’t really generate a lot either. Avoid it at all costs.

A lot of people who are unaware think mastery is good for AoE, but it is not. This is because there is a hidden 0.33 modifier on it for chain lightning, which means if you have 100% mastery, Lightning bolt will always overload.

But Chain lightning will have a 33% chance to overload. Even though it's per target, you can instead get more crit, which in return will give much more damage overall. Also, on AoE most of your damage comes from Earthquake anyway, which mastery does not benefit.

The best way to calculate stat priorities for your character is to 'sim' your character

Find out how to sim

Tauren > Panda > Orc

These are the top 3 races that I would suggest.

  1. Tauren is super strong because of the 2% increased crit damage. It scales very well with Lava burst and it also gives 5% max HP which is great!
  2. Panda is another great race because of the food buff. However, if you die it is gone.
  3. Orc is alright with their 2 min cooldown and they are also the best race for PvP.

Enchants

Ring - Tenet of Haste - Remember to sim your stats.

Weapon - Celestial guidance or sinful revelation. You want to use Celestial Guidance for AoE and Sinful Revelation for single target/raiding.

Chest - Eternal stats

Cloak - Fortified speed

Bracer - Eternal intellect

Quick jewel cluster - Please sim your stats to figure out what stats to take.

Covenants

Covenant Rankings

Nightfae > Necrolord = Kyrian > Ventyr

Nightfae: with how the tier worked out just seems the best. The last 3 fights all have very hectic cleave needs, First strike is just insane for this. Fae transfusion has uses on all 3 of those fights also.

Painsmith the blink is just overall super useful and the single target cap is slightly higher than necrolord also.

Necrolord: is still very strong. Especially if you enjoy PvP it's the better pick. The AoE is slightly worse. It is way more tanky, but there aren't too many things that you have to soak in this tier. Just timer wise and how things like up with AoE in my eyes its slightly behind Nighfae for the needs of the tier.

Kyrian: is possibly very strong. I personally haven't tried it yet due to renown and night fae is just being super good. But there will be more testing done of this and has high possibility of being very strong.

Ventyr: is just far behind to ever consider it for elemental.

Conduits

Potency:

  1. Call of flame: Increases the duration of our fire elemental. This is the best potency conduit for raiding and a good one for Mythic+ as well.
  2. Shake the foundations: This potency conduit can turn into a DPS loss. If it procs and you have stormkeeper active it will generate a chain lightning with the buff active. You don’t want this to happen. Outside of this, for AoE it's solid.
  3. Covenant specific ones: The Kyrian and Necrolord covenant conduits are really good; these would be your second potency. However, the Night Fae and Venthyr potency conduits are bad and should not be taken.

Endurance:

  1. Vital accretion is a must have endurance conduit.
  2. Depending on the fight, Refreshing waters can be good.
  3. Astral protection is always good if you have a spare slot.

Finesse:

  1. Thunderous paws is really nice and it’s really good for quick movement.
  2. Spiritual resonance is super strong during specific fights where lust is used and followed quickly by movement (for example, at the start of Sire Denathrius Phase 3 this conduit is great).

Our strongest soulbind:

Legendaries

Elemental shamans have 3 required legendaries.

Windspeakers’s lava resurgence

Elemental Shaman Pre Raid Bis Tbc

Windspeakers’s lava resurgence is our best in slot single target legendary. The damage is really good, it smooths out your rotation a bit and provides extra mobility.

Bis Ele Shaman Shadowlands

Echo’s of the great sundering

Echo’s of the great sundering is great for stacked up AoE, especially if it comes in waves. Being able to prepare a proc before a wave spawns will massively increase this legendary's value. This is also our best cleave legendary, as long the targets are stacked and all require damage (unlike the council of blood fight). For AoE, this legendary has huge potential with the Aftershock talent to generate numerous high damage earthquakes.

Best Trinkets Elemental Shaman Shadowlands

Skybreaker’s fiery demise

The Skybreaker’s fiery demise legendary not only gives good dps on spread out cleave (DoT damage) but also has a massive use for M+. In M+ this will reduce the storm elemental CD and allow for more frequent burst. This talent is always used for fights like the Council of Blood, but also has a place in other fights where the 2 legendaries above are not used.

For the new covenant specific legendaries:

Seeds of rampant growth can be very good in situational needs ( mostly M+ ). Needs play testing to be used.

Due to domination sockets, legendaries will use new slots so these don’t overlap:

BackWindspeaker
RingSkybreaker
GlovesEchoes of the great sundering

If you do PvP, make sure you have a shield equipped for the extra armor and block. On use trinkets tend to be a bit less effective for shamans as our burst is not super potent and trinkets tend to not scale with our 250% crit modifier.

I’m currently awaiting sims of the new trinket, but make sure to check out Bloodmallet.com for updates. Specific scenarios will be updated once I’ve had enough time to play around with them on the live servers.

Currently for domination sockets, the priority order is Unholy > Blood > Frost. But these are very subject to change in tuning.
