About Elemental
Elemental is the shaman's caster dps talent tree. What it lacks in mobility, it makes up in high damage while stationary. Like enhancement, elemental can off heal fairly easily if needed.
We use mail gear and wield a 1h and shield when we can, but a staff works just as well if the stats are better.
is our enchant of choice because it gives us spell power.
Talents
Here is our base spec as elemental
29/7/0
. There are two points in
only to fill in the tree. We have five floating points that can either be used for utility or survivability. Below is a personal priority list of the optional talents.
Optional Talents:
Terremoto
: Although it is our ability at the bottom of the tree, it isn't mandatory because it is only for aoe. It is nice utility to have when takes down large groups of enemies but only just.
: Good if range is an issue for either your raid buffs or your searing totem.
: A lower cooldown for your wind shear is purely utility. In most cases you won't need a reduced cooldown to any of your shocks, but it is handy.
: If there is any aoe, then this helps to take strain off the healers.
: The reduction to damage is nice, but you can't guarantee you will be casting when you take damage.
: Only good if you tend to have mana problems, so this talents works well at lower gear levels, but begins to lose its value as gear gets better.
: This takes some strain off your healers, but you should be getting enough heals anyway.
Overall, I recommend taking
Terremoto
,
and
. It is nice to have some freedom and not have to worry about your totems a lot.
Glyphs
Prime
Glifo carbonizado
: Allows us to move a little more freely while casting. Only use if the fight requires more movement than
Gracia del caminaespíritus
can handle. (Recommended)
Glifo carbonizado
: One of our best spells gets better. This glyph should be dropped if
Glifo carbonizado
is needed. (Recommended)
Glifo carbonizado
: Our filler gets better. (Recommended)
Glifo carbonizado
: It indirectly increases our dps by giving us more GCD's(Global Cooldowns) for casting. As well as allowing more freedom and ease to work in
Choque de tierra
. (Recommended)
Glifo carbonizado
: Great for fights that last longer than 5 minutes. In 4.2, this becomes obsolete because of our
Tier 12 2-set
. (Optional)
Glifo carbonizado
: It is alright and provides a small dps increase, but not all that much. (Optional)
Glifo carbonizado
: Saves a brief amount of time. (Optional)
Major
Glifo carbonizado
: Good for fights with a lot of adds; this helps proc a plethora of
charges. Only issue is that you may run into cleaving problems. (Optional)
Glifo carbonizado
: Helps with mana control and with some aoe situations. Mana will only be an issue at low gear levels, but it's still handy to have. (Recommended)
Glifo carbonizado
: You won't lose a charge if you get hurt after Fulmination. (Mandatory)
Glifo carbonizado
: More speed! I'm giving it all she's got captain! (Optional)
Glifo carbonizado
: Makes it a survivability cooldown. (Optional)
Glifo carbonizado
: Not much uses, but you never know. (Optional)
Glifo carbonizado
: Mitigates a little bit of damage, but uses 2 GCD's to use. One to place it down and a second to place your buff back down. (Optional)
Glifo carbonizado
: Two totems in one. It can be useful if your group needs the buff. (Optional)
Glifo carbonizado
: Very handy when on CC duty in case someone decides to break your little frog's neck.
The major glyphs are up in the air on what to take. You can pick any that fit your play style. The ones that are recommended are my choice, but shouldn't be taken as fact.
Minor
Glifo carbonizado
: More mana and won't knock adds away from your tank if you are close. (Recommended)
This is the only glyph I truly recommend; all the others are a matter of personal choice.

Stats
hit to cap > intellect > haste >= mastery > crit
The hit cap for our spells is 17% or 1742 hit rating (1640 hit rating for Draenei). We get hit from spirit thanks to
, so we share gear with our Resto counterparts. Haste and Mastery are very similar in increasing our dps. Haste tends to increase our dps faster by a small margin, so most elemental shaman stack haste over mastery. You can stack either one for good dps. Crit is our worst stat and should be reforged from when possible.
Gemming
Intellect is our main stat, but being hit capped is also our priority. Socket bonuses sometimes isn't worth going for if it is merely +10 of a secondary stat. For yellow, it depends on what you decided to stack.
Red:
Rubí inferno luminoso
Yellow:
Topacio de ascuas temerario
Topacio de ascuas sagaz
Blue:
Ojo de demonio purificado
/
Ojo de demonio velado
or
Rubí inferno luminoso
depending on set bonus or if hit capped
Meta:
Diamante de espíritu de las Sombras ardiente
Example on when to put a red gem in a blue socket: Say you have a socket bonus of +20 crit. Placing a
Ojo de demonio purificado
in the socket would give you 20 intellect, 20 spirit, and 20 crit. However, putting a
Rubí inferno luminoso
into the socket would get you an extra 20 intellect at the cost of 20 spirit and 20 crit, which is a dps increase unless you are 20 hit from hit cap.

Few comments. First on
Prime Glyphs
:
Glifo carbonizado
: It indirectly increases our dps by giving us more GCD's(Global Cooldowns) for casting. (Recommended)
It also makes more room for Earth Shock, and gives more freedom. One of the reasons I also always pick 2/2
. It's always annoying when cooldowns and procs clash.
Glifo carbonizado
: Great for fights that last longer than 5 minutes. In 4.2, this may surpass Glyph of Flame Shock, but not until then. (Optional)
4.2 (
Tier 12 2-set
) doesn't directly make our Fire Elemental any better, only seems to up the time it is potentially up. At the least, I would add in that reference. I can't see why this would potentially change the usefulness of this one, and especially not surpass that of Flame Shock.
Major Glyphs:
Not really a lot of comments, just a few opinions that might give some other viewpoints.
Glifo carbonizado
: Good for fights with a lot of adds, but a dps loss if there aren't 4+ adds. (Optional)
Most of the time you get to AoE properly, there should always be more than 4 targets anyway. It might be worth mentioning that this also gives a phenomenal amount of Rolling Thunder-charges.
Glifo carbonizado
: Helps with mana control and with some aoe situations. (Recommended)
Mana isn't an issue at higher gear levels, but can certainly be useful at first, or entry raid. I'd probably change this to
Optional
.
Glifo carbonizado
: You won't lose a charge if you get hurt after Fulmination. (Recommended)
Should be - as the only Major Glyph -
Mandatory
.
Glifo carbonizado
: More speed! I'm giving it all she's got captain! (Recommended)
Would certainly give this
Optional
, as I have never even used Ghost Wolf in raid-encounters - except when running back after a wipe. You won't use it in combat either, as you'd try to fire off Shocks (or use Spiritwalker's Grace) as much as possible.
Glifo carbonizado
: Not much uses, but you never know. (Optional)
I actually found this quite useful, as it essentially increases our AoE radius by 50% (10 -> 15 yards). While Earthquake is more limited, this can essentially make your AoE cover a huge area - in case the trash is spread out over a large area. Not likely to happen, but still nice. Keep it
Optional
ofcourse. :)
Also, you forgot about the useful
Glifo carbonizado
. Very nice for keeping the CC sharp.

There's a few other nice (and cheaper) additions that could be made. Potentially, it could be made into a table with a "Best" and "others"-columns. Added a few cheaper options above in bold, and an addition to the beltbuckle.
It would also be great to link to "
Zatox's Shaman Cataclysm Reputation and Justice Points Guide!
" from the Helpful Threads. Nice information there.
Besides that, it's turning out nice. Some in-depth information would probably be great - and remember to cite your resources ;)

Thank you for your information, Gnub. I put this together in 2 hours, so I guess I missed a few things. Is it weird that the only source I would have is the Wowhead database? This is all just from the 2 weeks I played elemental just to play it. I had originally misread the T12 set-2 bonus and I altered my post accordingly.
vey very nice one but on spell priority you have forget they
Good catch on the Lava Surge. I'll need to clarify why I did it in my post, but it's mainly for optimizing purposes. You wouldn't give up 20 int for 20 hit and a crappy socket bonus like 20 crit.

Brilliant Inferno Ruby on red and blue geam if it can be put onhy on red slots?
I hope you were meaning that Inferno Rubies only
activate
Red Sockets. Because you can put any color gem anywhere.

Well metas only fit in meta sockets but thats pretty obvious information
And cogwheels in cogwheels, which is why i chose "any color gem" wording. ^^
And I still don't see how Unleash Elements is so useless. I regularly get a decent 10k hit out of it and I normally try to burn it before a Flame Shock, extra 20% damage. Though I'll be honest I haven't taken the time to test it. I mostly just heal, and swap out Jar for Witching Hourglass for faceroll 11k in heroics. lol

Go for it. I cleaned it up from where I stole it from, so it's pretty easy to plug in new stuff.
I can't wait until I can use my premium for a year from winning first prize in the last wowhead contest. My captcha had subscripts and superscripts just to F with me...

Hehe, the code isn't that bad, once you notice the logic in it. It's
almost
identical to HTML-tags. Regardless, it looks neat now.
