I am really no fan of individual consulting, I get a lot of requests like these but I prefer to link to the enhancement post which is featered at the content slider on top. Stuff that is not covered by this I do not mind answering on that page or on the FAQ one on the top right.

@Joe
Hard to diagnose without further information, full vicious means that you are talking about pvp? If you are wondering about pve then it is most likely lack of stats, and zg + valor gear should be an upgrade for you. With unleash, shocks, instatn casts, there is most likely always a button to press.

I feel like i am not doing as much dmg as i could be i am fully vicious and need to be doing way more dmg. I feel like i don’t have moves to press when my only 2 main ones are on cooldown.

Actually I am cycling Flame Shock followed by 2 Earth Shocks atm. This guide is a bit outdated and it makes not much sense to update it just a few weeks before wow 4.0.

Many of your rotations omit flame shock… now on a boss your flame shock in the long run will tick for more then your earth shock and you will be able to use both in a singular rotation. However at the same time a rotation isn’t as necessary as knowing what to do in a situation. On an AOE that I know will die fast I set down my totems and open with a fire nova right off the bat now because of the fact the burst damage will help then I continue with the stormstrike… Earth shock. Of course I can cast my Fire Nova every 3 seconds thanks to spec and glyphs.

“#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/castsequence reset=6target Call of the Elements, Stormstrike, Earth Shock, Lava Lash, Fire Nova, Stormstrike, Earth Shock, Lava Lash, Magma Totem, Lightning Shield, Flame Shock, Lava Lash, Fire Nova”

Using Call of the Elements in a cast sequence on a long fight would cast it again and again burning up a lot of mana. It would probably be best to replace it with Magma Totem, and cast Call of the Elements separately before a fight AND without a fire totem since it will be cast in the macro.

This is my main rotation macro. I have other macros that compliment this one:

/startattack
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/castsequence reset=6 magma totem,stormstrike,lava lash,fire nova,earth shock,lightning shield,stormstrike,lava lash,fire nova,earth shock
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1

Magma Totem should get refreshed just before it runs out even with casting Maelstrom(5) 2-3 times. However if there’s a lot of movement or you are unable to mash the macro repeatedly, just make sure you refresh Magma Totem or the macro won’t work. Fire Nova won’t cast without a fire totem, so your castsequence will be stuck until you drop a fire totem.

Not sure if u check this still Myr but i took ur macro from the pve roation and replaced lightning shield with stormstrike and was jus wondering how to make it not reset? Looks like it stops after 2-3 rotations for awhile with a 30 second cooldown? i dont want it to reset

#showtooltip
/Cast Feral Spirit
/petattack

It could also be that your wolves are set to passive, you can set them to defensive so they will attack your target.

Yes, you are totally right, that wont work. Thanks for the advice.

And one more thing. When I cast my Feral Spirits i need to click the “attack” icon in their action bar.
Do U know of a macro that will automatic put them in attack position when i summon them?

@püs
I do not play Elemental, sorry. Can’t help there But I guess the rotation is less random than enhancement and thus easier to macro

@ Carvanth
Don’t forget to swap Wepaons you lose 1 GCD, then cast stormstrike and lose another GCD. I highly doubt that there is any scenario where that is useful
You can probably do a to swap a Weapon to 2 Hander

/equipslot [noequipped:Two-Handed Axes] 16 NAMEOFWEAPON
/Cast [Equipped:Two-Handed Axes] Stormstrike

and a
/equipslot [equipped:Two-Handed Axes] 16 NAMEOF1HANDERWEAPON
/equipslot [equipped:Two-Handed Axes] 17 NAMEOF1HANDERWEAPON
/cast [Equipped:One-Handed Axes] Lava Lash

in a second macro

But still, I don’t think it is a dps gain.

Slant I want to know if there is posible to get a macro for boosting my stormstrike; I want to ekip a 2-handed weapon just for casting stormstrike, then change back to dual wield.
