EarthshrineStorm, Earth, & LavaTwitterElemental Shaman RotationPlease note that the Ele theorycrafting community has not yet nailed down all the details of how Heart of Azeroth Essences and Azshara's Eternal Palace gear will impact this yet, if at all. Please keep looking back to this guide for updates as we get closer to raid release!Single Target

As a general rule Elemental Priority is determined as a function of what does the most damage for each individual cast, and what loses you the least by delaying it. You’ll frequently see spells that have a high damage for the time it takes to cast them and a relatively low cooldown or no resource generation as a high priority, while spells that either do less damage or have no opportunity cost have a lower priority.

As a strong example of the above, you’ll see two lines discussing at how much 漩涡 you want to use 大地震击 at listed Single-target rotation below. One is towards the top because casting it at that point prevents you from wasting 漩涡, which is never worth it. One is much lower and has 漩涡 generating spells above it as you don’t lose damage by delaying 大地震击 damage unless you reach 100 漩涡, but can lose damage by delaying those generators.

2-3 Targets: Continue using the Single Target Elemental Shaman rotation with the following changes:

Use 闪电链 instead of 闪电箭 if 闪电链 will hit 3 or more targets

If you have 岩浆图腾 talented, prioritize it right below keeping 熔岩爆裂 on cooldown

Keep 烈焰震击 up on up to 3 targets

Use 地震术 over 大地震击 to spend 漩涡 at 2 targets

4+ Targets

Cast 闪电链

Use 岩浆图腾, & 风暴守护者 on cooldown

If 风暴元素 and 元素尊者 are both talented, make sure to use 风暴之眼. Don't forget to use 召唤闪电 first or you'll lose 75% of the damage it does!

Spend 漩涡 on 地震术

烈焰震击Azerite Essences

生命之凝力, 清醒梦境之忆, and 仇敌之血 are long cooldowns, and should be used on cooldown when possible. When encounters demand it, they can be delayed a bit to line up with specific boss abilities for maximum effect

烈焰熔炉 and 冲突与斗争 provide short cooldowns and can be considered rotational abilites instead. 烈焰熔炉 should be used on cooldown once right away, and then should then only be used if you're casting it instead of 闪电箭. 冲突与斗争 should be used on cooldown as soon as possible, but if you're using 冰怒 it's important to stagger them as you will lose a significant # of charges otherwise.

净化协议 & 聚焦之虹的精华 are primarily AoE cooldowns, and when used should be lined up with large numbers of enemies.

完美愿景 & 世界血脉共鸣 are passive, and don't impact your rotation at all. If you ever find yourself in need of the shards from the major of 世界血脉共鸣 you shouldn't use it, as it's only worthwhile when many others are using it with you and maintaining high uptime on the shard buffs.

This is technically a 5th category, and 空间涟漪 goes here. This doesn't fit into the above categories because in PvE content you want to actively avoid using this essence.

OpenersStandard Opener

At no later than 7 seconds before the pull, place 图腾掌握

At 5 seconds before the pull, use 风暴守护者

At 3.5 seconds before the pull, use 火元素 (or 风暴元素 if talented)

At 2 seconds before the pull, use your pre-combat potion (should be 智力战斗药水 for BFA) and then cast 熔岩爆裂 (or 元素冲击 if talented)

As the boss is pulled, cast 烈焰震击

Cast 闪电箭

Cast 冰怒 if talented

Cast 熔岩爆裂 if 元素回响 is talented

Cast your 2nd 闪电箭

Cast only 闪电箭 and 大地震击 until 风暴元素 ends (if talented)

Follow standard priority from here

烈焰熔炉烈焰震击冲突与斗争冰怒冰怒风暴守护者Movement

熔岩爆裂 if 熔岩奔腾 is up

烈焰震击 if off cooldown and any existing DoTs are under 6.5 seconds

大地震击 if castable and all 烈焰震击 DoTs have over 6.5 seconds remaining

Spam 冰霜震击! This has no cooldown, no 漩涡 cost, and is slightly less powerful than 闪电箭

Advanced Primal Elementalist Use

元素尊者 grants your Elementals 3 important abilities that must be activated by you either via macro or clicking the pet bar

火元素 gains 流星. This new spell only has a 30 yard range, despite the tooltip trying to tell you otherwise (we hope this is a bug.) If you try to tell your Elemental to cast 流星 from farther than 30 yards away, he'll look awkwardly at your enemies and do nothing at all!

风暴元素 gains 风暴之眼. This is a target-based AoE that does a ton of damage, but with a catch! Make sure your 风暴元素 casts 召唤闪电 before casting 风暴之眼 or you'll lose out on 75% of the damage this ability provides!

土元素 gains 硬化外皮. This can be combined with 星界转移 & 幽灵狼 to provide up to 71.2% damage reduction, which will likely let you soak some mechanics as the expansion moves on.

召唤闪电风暴之眼Advanced Surge of Power use风暴元素熔岩爆裂熔岩爆裂闪电箭大地震击漩涡风暴守护者能量湍流

Pool 漩涡 until you have 96 漩涡

Advanced Master of the Elements use大地震击元素宗师元素宗师

地震术 if 2 or more targets are hit

Primarily a single target cooldown. Gains AoE capabilities when paired with 元素尊者 Attacks from range with 火焰冲击 and causes 烈焰震击 to generate 3 漩涡 per tick.

风暴元素

2 minutes, 30 seconds

Level 60 talent. Replaces 火元素, and has the same general use. Gains 风暴之眼 which gives it strong AoE power when paired with 元素尊者

An emergency tank for 60 seconds. Can't taunt raid bosses. If you have 元素尊者 talented, he gains the active ability 硬化外皮 which works as a second 星界转移. These can be stacked for a total of 64% damage reduction! In cases where he is not needed otherwise, this can be used as a minor offensive cooldown

治疗之涌
