This GS is available after farming most Northrend dungeons in Heroic mode and by buying rare and epic items from different faction quartermasters (they offer some gear ilvl 185-200 mostly), after increasing the reputation to Revered or Exalted to them. This gear rating is possible to have only from Northrend quests rewards and most normal mode dungeons.
This gear will help to complete mostly quests during leveling and to run only Nexus, Utgarde Keep, Azjol-Nerub normal mode dungeons. This is the average gear level for most players, which arrives to Northrend after Outland zones. Cleansing Totem is also a nice if you’re in need a removing poisons/diseases. But ONLY if no Blessing of Wisdom/Restoration Shaman is present you should be using Mana Spring Totem. Healing Stream is almost the only totem you should be using. Fire Elemental is also a significant DPS increase, but should only be used together with Heroism/Bloodlust. But if required to AoE, you should be using Magma Totem together with Fire Nova and Chain-lightning. Totem of Wrath is almost the only totem you should be using. If a Death Knight is present Strength of Earth Totem is waste, and if a Paladin is using Devotion Aura you shouldn’t use Stoneskin Totem but these are the most valuable Earth Totems, use Tremor Totem when it is needed. This totem is based on what your raid is needs.
Wrath of Air Totem is the totem you benefit of the most, however if no Frost Death Knight/Enhancement Shaman is present in the raid, then Windfury Totem is better for the raid, this all depends on the composition of Melee/Casters. You shouldn’t concern yourself with MP5 or SPIRIT unless you plan on moving into a Restoration Shaman.Critical Rating as it only affects your Lightning Bolt and Flame Shock (your Lava Burst should critical all the time due to Flame Shock being active on the target at every use) and therefore only have average benefit on your DPS.However if you run with with a Shadow Priest or a Moonkin, then you can remove a total of 79 to your Hit rating meaning you’ll only need a hit rating of 263 (Draenei) and hit rating of 289 (Horde). If you are playing with a Draenei you hit cap will on need to be 342, if you’re playing the Horde then you’ll need 368. Hit Rating helps with your total DPS output, yes if you’re a Draenei it will help give you a 1% boost but but you won’t quite get capped.If you find yourself over the cap you should put those points elsewhere. Haste Rating is very important to a elemental shaman however you only need to hit the 40% mark which is 1093 rating with your Wrath of Air and 966 if you have a Retribution Paladin in your Party.Spellpower is your main focus once you hit the cap in everything else posted below you’ll need point for point in spellpower.The guide is pretty much information gathered from across the web, to help players get the most out of there character. Introduction This guide is for an Elemental Shaman in PvE, a lot people think that Elemental Shamans are underpowered for Wrath of the Lich King.
