Elemental Shaman PvP Guidelines in 4.0.1

Just making things as I think of them. This is some things to think about when you are PvP'ing as an elemental shaman. Most of these are basic things that will not change come 85. Mostly a bunch of nifty tricks to think about as you fight different classes.

Also You can purge HoF from paladins, fake them out with a frost or earthbind when they blow hoF just purge off and use whichever cc mechanic you did not burn for them to pop HoF, which then shuts them down temporarily unles they blow trinket or until HoF CD is up! :) good vid

[Jhamantheshaman]

@zekegarber ah yes I definetly use this one all the time, Frost shock imo, because roots are stronger. And the time it takes for them to react as well as your purge can have your shocks off CD usually by the time you root them.

Umm before this video was made paladins actually have a cleanse for magic(for ret). it just isnt in cata yet it got announced ages ago. any snaring effect can be cleansed on paladins as of cata so ur wrong saying in the video that paladins can be easily kited

@shrappy2003 I did not realize this. I am gonna reply to your comment to bump it up so people can see it. Thanks!

One more thing :P what did you re-forge to? I was going to do the mastery, but maybe I should do haste?

[Jhamantheshaman]

@teamdoa The addon is Power Auras, i configured it for PvE but I leave it on for PvP too. I reforged to haste. The PvP gear comes with a lot of crit on it but I feel really gimped when I don't have any haste. I switch from my PvE set with mundo haste and going back to a slow casting lightningbolt just feels off. Also, reliable damage feels better in PvP. Knowing I'm going to kill someone and not hoping I get lucky is usually better.

9:42 ganked by rogue... how about some advice on how to survive that, or are shamans comletely defenseless against rogues?

[Kallianification]

@Jhamantheshaman could you do a same guide for cata update vid? if you still play ofc :) ?

[Playlistamac]

what is that mod your using that pops beserk and that fire eblem thingy? please :(

[sandreid87]

Like your point with LB before FS, but why not LB, CL and THEN FS? CL have no travel time and that will make all 3 spells land on the target at the same time. WAY more burst. And right after that, they'll get the nice LvB crit right in their face. That's a lot of damage in a span of about 2 seconds.
