Yes, the commentary is extremely helpful! I’m learning ele and these dungeons at the same time not having played since legion and almost all of the commentary was a one stop shot for stuff I wanted, would love some more commentary on the other dungeons
That is exactly the type of content I was looking for. Not only for Ele but for any range DPS. I will definitely subscribe if you plan on doing this for every dongeons this season. Looking forward to seeing more!
Just caught your interview with Quazii, it was one of my favorites so far. You're a cool and humble dude despite being a total animal at the game. Wish you nothing but the best dude.
Great job Bond, I became a huge fan. Started to main Ele cuz of you. Really like your videos and really good explaination in this one that helps me improve my gameplay. Keep up the good work!
did my first key today after watchin ur videos .. im doin more dps .. i thought i LB after pwave only when procs .. so after pwave magma u cast a lb even with casttime .. ty very much mr bond .. pls more videos
This is awesome. Your commentary is super helpful. I realize it's probably a decent bit of effort/time to go over the vid and talk about your thought process, but if you did this on other dungeons, too, I would be so appreciative. Quick question - do you have your trinkets bound to any spells in particular? I usually bind them (if I have 2x on-use) to primordial wave and Stormkeeper since I tend to cast those on cooldown, and I worry I'd forget to manually cast them.
One thing I found for 2nd boss is you should spread for the ricochet (if you are ranged) - it wont chain to everybody then which I think will be crucial for high keys. Another thing I found is that if you stand jn the exit corner where the rubble/stones are you actually dont get the bombardment mechanic. So you can just stand there and dps :)
On first boss, as a tank you can also pull adds into the bombs to diffuse them and have them die faster. This has been changed also, did not work in BfA. Ideally wanna cleave them with the boss as much as possible and throw em into the bombs before they can pull of a grab.
Hearing your thoughts behind each decision is really helpful. Perfect channel for both new and experienced Ele Shamans! Do you open with Stormkeeper or hold it for after your first quake? I watched your rotation overview video but if you could type out your exact rotation that would be really useful. Also it would be great to hear your thoughts on BiS, enchantments and gems, etc to optimise DPS. Perhaps worth a video?
Using before or during won’t matter much at the end of the day. I’ll use it before a pull if mobs will die faster than usual and I’ll use it during the pull if not. Either will work fine
Hey thanks for the commentary, the insight is very helpful. Im new to playing casters as Ele is my first ever and Im quite having struggles with pumping out dps like you do, I only achieve about 2 to 2.5m with 609 iLvl and 2p. What I gathered from your video is that I need to spread lightning rod as much as possible which I will try to implement but besides that it really is just Magma totem, pwave and flameshock to gather maelstrom and then just earthquake and follow up with couple chain lightnings until you can earthquake on another target again right? Of course while doing that pull Storm Keeper and Storm Elemental or am I missing something crucial? Youre dealing nearly double dynamic overall damage than me after a whole dungeon but I just cant get on it what the reason is, besides the lightning rod thing.
@@Bondbl Oh and can I ask something about gear aswell? Why do you have crafted Haste Versatility on your necklace instead of Haste Crit? I thought Haste Crit are #1 and #2 for stat bonuses? also what are your stat % so I can compare to mine? What stat % should I aim at? I swear if you would make a guide about Ele I think that would be such an insane video, youre quite good at explaining stuff.
Hey so my crafts are based on my current gear and sims. Haste then crit is very good but at some point once you start hitting higher ilvl vers will become better. Definitely sim your character :) also I raid mythic so my sims are based off best single target damage stats. If someone were to do mythic plus only their stats might be different.
Ele is so much fun. Too many people still did not get, how ele is one of the best caster atm. You always have damage and with all utility, you can carry all the plebs at least to a certain point of key levels. Barely anybody is above my overall damage. I personally would like to give away a little bit aoe for more ST but if blizzars starts to tune like this, it will end up in a worse state, so i take it all the way like this now. Very good video, thanks for the insight
@BizhanovKhalel I personally think, the longer trash fights become and the bigger the pulls are, storm is just not a bit better in aoe. It is miles ahead, so much that you can not make it good, by having more single target. Stormbringer is really insane.
Thx for the commentary ❤. Do you Sometimes have the problem, that the stormele wont cast tempest even If you hit the macro for it? Sometimes I have to click it in petbar so it sends Instant as i click
So it won’t cast it if the elemental is buffing itself. It has another ability that it always casts first which makes it buff itself and then you can tempest. Make sure you tempest only when the buff is active. You can see it on my storm ele weskaura when the buff happens after I summon
Your videos are amazing man. Best ele shaman imo. Only thing is you need to change to higher quality mic. You're commentary sounds scratchy compared to other content creator. Much love brother
Hey Bond, another amazing one as per usual. Is there any nuanced uses for Ancestral Swiftness here since it doesn't really line up the same as in Farseer or just use it when you need mobility?
hello, insane ele sham here dude, great job. Dumb question please but how do you instant lava burst on pull, without lava surge ? Since nature swiftness is only nature spell ? thanks !
how are you doing that dps on ST as stormbringer? i prefer its playstyle over farseer but i always seem lacking proper ST. any particular gear/enchants/embelishments that help with that or is it just skill/gear issue?
Single target is pretty low with my sham with that spec. AOE is great but the lack of single target dps bothers me. Don't know if i am playing it wrong or if the spec is really AOE oriented :(
ST you just need practice. Always be casting and never miss globals. Focus on always earth shocking before all your stormkeepers so they get buffed. And spam that lightning bolt
That commentary is awesome, great job, it helps a lot to self improve
Thank you for the feedback
Yes, the commentary is extremely helpful! I’m learning ele and these dungeons at the same time not having played since legion and almost all of the commentary was a one stop shot for stuff I wanted, would love some more commentary on the other dungeons
Love the commentary. I’ve really improved my dps from watching these. Keep them coming!
That is exactly the type of content I was looking for. Not only for Ele but for any range DPS. I will definitely subscribe if you plan on doing this for every dongeons this season. Looking forward to seeing more!
Planning on it! Thank you for the feedback :)
Just caught your interview with Quazii, it was one of my favorites so far. You're a cool and humble dude despite being a total animal at the game. Wish you nothing but the best dude.
Appreciate the kind words :)
thanks for the content and please do it with all the dungeons of the season, helps a lot to improve!
Great job Bond, I became a huge fan. Started to main Ele cuz of you. Really like your videos and really good explaination in this one that helps me improve my gameplay. Keep up the good work!
Glad to hear!
This is SO detailed! Amazing commentary, great job man.
Thanks a ton!
this is next level content. much appreciated, bond.
This is really helpful! Thank you so much, please make more of these.
More to come!
Thank you so much for this, my opener on packs was complete garbage, now I know better.
Glad to hear it
Was waiting for this one - thanks!
You bet!
You bet!
This is really good. Thanks to this one i'm doing more dps. If you can find the time, pls do more of these dungeon tutorials :D
That is great to hear! Planning to do one for each dungeon
did my first key today after watchin ur videos .. im doin more dps .. i thought i LB after pwave only when procs .. so after pwave magma u cast a lb even with casttime .. ty very much mr bond .. pls more videos
Love to read stuff like this! Good job :)
Amazing video as allways! I learned alot from this :))
Awesome! Thank you!
Amazing video! I hope you make more like this
Thank you, I will
That's the plan!
Watched this then parsed 97 on a 10. Missed it by 29 seconds. Thanks for the help
Ty!!! More comentary runs, plis!! ❤
not an ele, but seeing your thought process on every pull is highly helpful
this videos help a lot, thank you!
Glad to hear that!
Glad to hear that!
Yes more commentary!!

I have trinket count to C. So it’s own keybind

Another thing I found is that if you stand jn the exit corner where the rubble/stones are you actually dont get the bombardment mechanic. So you can just stand there and dps :)
I’ll try that bombardment spot thanks! We’ve tried spreading for ricochet but it didn’t matter
More the the commentary please! Helps a lot.
That is the plan :)
oh my god this was amazing make more please!
That is the plan! Thank you for the feedback

nice guide thanks dude

No problem 👍
This is amazing as others have said. Do you have a macro for setting the focus target or how do you do that quickly?
Yeah it’s a macro I have keybound. /focus
Great commentary. Big fan. Hope you will do the same with the remaining 7 dungeons. Helps a lot.
That's the plan!

Yep that’s basically it. Keep practicing and always be casting

Very good video, thanks for the insight
How about running farseer? Didn't test myself, but seen people say you get much more ST for the bit of AOE you lose.
@BizhanovKhalel I personally think, the longer trash fights become and the bigger the pulls are, storm is just not a bit better in aoe. It is miles ahead, so much that you can not make it good, by having more single target. Stormbringer is really insane.
We all know Blizzard hates Ele. They will make sure that Ele will not be one of the best Caster for to long.
Amazing video as always!!!!! What do you recommend for crafting? Is ascendance embellishment better than the vivacity one? Keep it up🙌🙌
I’ll always recommend crafting myth 1h weapon with ascendance first. Huge power spike
Thx for the commentary ❤.
Do you Sometimes have the problem, that the stormele wont cast tempest even If you hit the macro for it? Sometimes I have to click it in petbar so it sends Instant as i click
So it won’t cast it if the elemental is buffing itself. It has another ability that it always casts first which makes it buff itself and then you can tempest. Make sure you tempest only when the buff is active. You can see it on my storm ele weskaura when the buff happens after I summon
Im just getting back into Shaman in TWW... what are your opinion on addons like Hekili? I know its a crutch but would you recommend it at all?
I’ve never tried it. If it helps you then use it ubtil you feel comfortable enough to remove it. Don’t rely on it forever.
Your videos are amazing man. Best ele shaman imo. Only thing is you need to change to higher quality mic. You're commentary sounds scratchy compared to other content creator. Much love brother
Thank you for the kind words. I’ll probably look into a nice microphone :)
how you get the cooldown count on flame shock nameplate?
Hey Mate, having a Queston. So in 2 Target fights we use Chain lightning and EQ? (Except 1 strombolt after the EQ)
Yep. Assuming both stay in quake. Lightning bolt after quake. And spread lightning rod
bond PW - Flame shock before magma totem to have more FS spread? what do u think about that?
Sometimes you’ll find me do that on the initial pulls. I’ll almost never do it midpull though.. feels like a waste
Hey Bond, another amazing one as per usual. Is there any nuanced uses for Ancestral Swiftness here since it doesn't really line up the same as in Farseer or just use it when you need mobility?
I'm an idiot, you mentioned it for Tempest/LB/CL gotcha.
Yep! Tempest cl and lb
hello, insane ele sham here dude, great job. Dumb question please but how do you instant lava burst on pull, without lava surge ? Since nature swiftness is only nature spell ? thanks !
I’ll hard cast it sometimes to get the haste asap. Just try to get a flame shock early so you have a chance to proc it sooner
@@Bondbl thanks ! :)
Im a noob. Is the hover over cast built into the blizzard UI or is it an addon
Hey I’m not sure what hover over cast is. Can you be more specific and I can help
Could you do commentary for farseer for mythic plus?
I’ll try to make one :)
Hey there nice video. Wher is the macro for ele ?
Don’t really have many special macros. /cast [@cursor] totem is my main ones. Replace totem with wind rush, liquid magma totem, or earthquake
@@Bondbl and what about Storm ele ?
wasnt ther macro too ?
how are you doing that dps on ST as stormbringer? i prefer its playstyle over farseer but i always seem lacking proper ST. any particular gear/enchants/embelishments that help with that or is it just skill/gear issue?
Keep practicing. It’s all about never missing globals. Always be casting
Remember he has an aug here, so the dmg is increased on details :)
at what key level do you think we should switch to stormbringer?
I was running it since m0
i dont get it, why stormkeeper+ quake ? i dont ge it, thanks for the awesome video
Check your talent surge of power
I dont understand why did u change target for lighting rod, i try to understand pls can u tell me here
You want to put lightning rods on targets that will not die anytime soon and on targets that don’t currently have lightning rod
@@Bondbl thanks, u are crack
How does Surge of power interact with tempest?
It doesn’t but I believe on PTR it will eventually
hey what is that addon or weak aura that tells you when tempest is up?
Hi it’s located in my disc linked in the description
Single target is pretty low with my sham with that spec. AOE is great but the lack of single target dps bothers me. Don't know if i am playing it wrong or if the spec is really AOE oriented :(
ST you just need practice. Always be casting and never miss globals. Focus on always earth shocking before all your stormkeepers so they get buffed. And spam that lightning bolt
how much better is stormbringer in m+ right now? is stormbringer also better in single target? thanks
I recommend Stormbringer for all m+. Farseer is better ST but Stormbringer brings the big some dam and the ST is still respectable
@@Bondbl thank you sir!
You got 4 pc already mate?
Yeah I do
Can you share your plater profile?
Hey it’s available it my disc linked in the description
I see lava burst, I press lava burst. Need to practice some self-control. :D
Same bro sameeee
Can i see Vengeance Demon Hunter's video? someone who knows plz navigate me
Hey I don’t think he has a vod
@@Bondbl thx bro big hint for me how to play high key myth, thx again
This dungeon makes me want to rip my hair out
How the hell are you pulling 1m dps on boss as stormkeeper, i am barely making 600k at doll on 605 item lvl.
Always be casting! Also I have like 10ilvls on you
No comment plz, Just play.
No comment plz, Just hit mute.
What do you recommend I use my runed 619 crafting item on if I already have 616 staff? Should I still craft weapon for the embellishment?
I will always recommend crafted mythic 1h weapon first with ascendance. Giant power gain. Crafts after that depend on your gear and sims
