Similarly high, unkiteable, sustained damage is difficult to deal with for Elemental due to your lack of defensives. Also, Healing Stream totem was reintroduced in Shadowlands to help us sustain throughout a match a little bit better. However, Elemental has a secondary layer of defense with Primal Elementalist which can cover this weakness. This is why Elemental has great difficulty when dealing with Subtlety Rogues in Arena and Orc is the single best race for Elemental Shaman because of the racial Hardiness. The main Elemental defensive, Astral Shift, is not usable in stuns – meaning you will have to pre-cast Astral Shift before a stun to get any use out of your only defensive, since you cannot kite or avoid damage whilst stunned. This means completely interrupting an Elemental Shaman is close to impossible, as you'd need to land interrupts on all three schools in a very short amount of time.Įlemental is, along with Enhancement, one of the tankiest specs in the game when it comes to avoiding damage while not stunned due to the aforementioned Ghost Wolf kiting ability and the talent. However, the Frost, Fire, and Nature schools are all readily available to Elemental through their various spells. The fourth school is Elemental, which comes from Elemental Blast, but it is not currently viable.

When pairing this with your slow effects like Frost Shock, this means you can kite many melee classes in Arena, only having real difficulty with classes like Demon Hunter, Subtlety Rogue, or Windwalker Monk.Įlemental has access to three (potentially four!) schools of magic in Arena. What this means is that when in Ghost Wolf, the Shaman is essentially under a Blessing of Freedom effect. In Legion, Ghost Wolf was changed to allow the Shaman to never fall below 100% movement speed whilst it's active. This means Elemental is in a stronger position than ever at stopping double casted CC (for example, when fighting a Warlock & Mage composition).

What’s more is our Grounding Totem is the newly designed Legion version instead of the older iterations, where the Grounding needs to be killed itself. Our old Tremor Totem and Grounding Totem were returned to us in Battle for Azeroth, which gave us a huge amount of team utility to work with. However, Lightning Lasso is a versatile and very powerful tool when used correctly.
