  • 0. GUIDE: Shaman Elemental Gear for Raiders II   11/12/2007 11:59:38 AM PST

****This guide has not been updated for Patch 2.4.*****

To do: Redo the ranking calculations (see Resto thread for details). This will allow you to compare shields to staffs to off-hands, etc.

This is the new home of the Elemental Gear guide for shaman. After 57,000 views and countless requests for stickies, the post reached its maximum number of allowed replies. The original thread can be found here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=106578244&sid=1

As a reminder, this is a guide for PVE raiding. Therefore, spell damage and spell crit are the most prized stats. Shaman, like all casters, are capped at 16% spell hit. However, unlike most classes, shamans can get 9% spell hit from talents alone. And our Totem of Wrath gives us another 3% spell hit -- meaning you need only 51spell hit rating (4%) from gear. Please note that the passive racial ability of Draenei (Inspiring Presence) means they need only 38 spell hit rating (3%) from gear.

In ranking items, the assumption is that you are already hit capped and the +spell hit on the weapon will not boost your DPS. If you are not hit capped, give those items more weight. The rankings also assume you are casting Lightning Boltx3 and then Chain Lightning. The rankings are also based on a shaman with roughly 1,000 spell damage and a crit rate of 30%, including talents.

Patch 2.3 has in some cases made healing gear better than straight DPS gear. This usually occurs when you compare a healing shield from the Black Temple to what is available to Kara. This is especially true when the healing item can be socketed with DPS gems.

The initial rank of the item is EXCLUDING set bonuses. Beneath the name of the item you can find what its ranking would be with set bonuses. The value of the set bonus is divided by the number of items needed to achieve that bonus.

The following set bonus values are courtesy of Binkerani of Blackrock.
Tier 4 two-piece bonus: 20 spell damage
Tier 4 four-piece bonus: 73 mp5
Tier 5 two-piece bonus: 0
Tier 5 four-piece bonus: 25 mp5
Tier 6 two-piece bonus: 45 spell damage, 35 crit rating and 15 mp5
Tier 6 four-piece bonus: +5% damage to lightening bolts (not sure how to mathematically calculate this)

Here is the weight given to various stats. These are my own values.
Stam 0.25
Int 0.40
Spirit 0.045
Spell Damage 1.2
Crit Rating 0.9
Hit Rating 0.0
mp5 0.75
Haste 0.75

For the more advanced theory crafters, I highly recommend ShamStats by Binkenstein. This is your most accurate source of information since you can customize it depending on talents, existing gear and spell rotations. It can be found at: http://hosted.filefront.com/Binkenstein/

There is also an excellent thread on Elemental Shaman at Elitist Jerks:

My guide to healing gear can be found here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=383470305&sid=1

The list is now full updated. I still have to change several gem choices and add more PVP rewards. I'm also missing a few items, especially in legs. Appreciate all your feedback and suggestions.

Thanks so much for all you do Skyhoof! I loved your Resto list when I started out Resto, the Elemental list was so helpful once I switched to that.

Now that the guild asked me to go Enhancement, what's the odds that we could talk you into doing an Enhancement list too? /beg /puppydog eyes

Thanks for your hard work!
One question though, I've been trying to figure this out myself for a while, how'd you figure out that Totem of Ancestral Guidance is better than Skycall Totem? I was under the impression that Skycall Totem would be slightly better...

Q u o t e:

Here’s how I calculated a haste rating for the Skycall Totem
It grants 100 haste rating for 10 seconds so 100*10. The chance to proc is 15%
=(100*10)/((15/100)*100)
=67 haste rating

Now, there's a lot of debate about how much spell haste is worth. It partly depends on how much you already have and how much spell damage you have. However, let's assume that 1 haste rating roughly equals 1 spell damage. The totem of Ancestral Guidance gives you a straight +85 spell damage and therefore is the better choice.

Plus, I like consistency. With Skycall, you always risk it proccing right when you stop casting.

Why did you rank Wub's after Amani Punisher? Or mindblade for that matter....

Funny, I was just thinking of this stuff on my way to work. I was wondering why you ranked the new Stormwrap belt, but not the leather variant, which i prefer the available sockets on. A lot of the new badge rewards seem to make me lean toward the "Boomkin"-styled pieces over the mail. I stupidly got the bracers not realizing I could just grab the pvp bracers next week. So it goes.

Just the same, thanks for the list. Can we get a sticky?
