Speccing Your Shaman Guide: Level 30

September 5, 2010 at 01:14 | Posted in Guides | 1 Comment

Hi and welcome to the second part of the Elemental Shaman Speccing Guide. Today I’ll be going over the Talents you will have when you are level 30. This is a continuation on the Level 20 guide so the first few talents are covered there. Let’s look at the Talent Tree at level 30 shall we?

The first talent you take after Elemental Focus is:

Elemental Fury
Elemental Fury takes the damage that a critical strike with one of your spells does and doubles it when you fill it up with the full 5 points. This means that if you crit with your lightning bolt it will not crit say 200 like it normally would but 400 due to a 100% damage bonus. Very nice to have when leveling since it allows for faster mob killing.
Eye of the Storm
Eye of the Storm allows you to cast your spells without losing much casttime when you take a hit from a mob. Normally when you are taking hits from mobs your casttime increases with 0.5 seconds. A lightning bolt which is normally a 2.5 second cast then suddenly takes 3 seconds to cast, add to that that everytime you get hit it will take 0.5 seconds longer. With this talent you reduce that increased casttime by 70%. This means that if you take hits you won’t cast 0.5 seconds longer but only 0.1 or 0.2 . This is very handy when you need to heal yourself without getting interrupted too much.
1 point in Call of Flame
Call of Flame is a talent you will eventually take full at higher levels, now however I’m spending one point in it to get to your level 30 talent, which is…
Call of Thunder
Call of Thunder increases the critical strike chance of your Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning and Thunderstorm by an additional 5% ontop of your normal critical strike rating. This means higher chances to crit with these abilities and therefore faster mob killing. Seeing as crits will probably take half the mob’s health in combination with Elemental Fury.

Well this was it for level 30. Stay tuned for the level 40 guide!
