Elemental Shaman in the War Within
In this post, we will be analyzing the state of Elemental Shaman in the upcoming expansion. We will look at the new extension of the talent system called «Hero Talents», what they are, how they affect your gameplay experience, and how they are performing on the beta right now. To do so, we contextualize them with the rework we just received and the resulting «new» builds we will most likely be playing in «The War Within.»
If you are undecided about whether Elemental Shaman is the spec for you in The War Within, I hope to give you some insights and help you make your decision.
Hero Talent Showdown: Farseer vs. Stormbringer
While leveling your Elemental Shaman in The War Within, you will be getting access to two new talent sub-trees called «Hero Talent Trees.» You will decide between 2 different «sub-specs» that differ in gameplay and general focus regarding spells and rotation. Stormbringer revolves around casting Lightning Spells, including a new spell Tempest that replaces your Lightning Bolt every so often, which is exclusive to Stormbringer Shamans.
