I've been reading EJ forums for a while, and I often choose which dps cycle or which stuff I have to wear because of this forum.
Since WOTLK, I play my shaman elem (I was a shamheal before), and I don't feel like other shamans that elem is a low dps.

My RL likes elem and we often raid with 2 or 3 elems. I amit that the raid is often optimized for us, we have a demo demono, which allow us

I've been using your spreadsheet and advice a lot, and I'd like to be able to figure out my own theorycrafting problems so I can figure out issues specific to my character and help the community in any way I can.

Thanks,

SEIC 3.2.2 r18.2

Posted 10/09/09 at 5:50 PM by Binkenstein
Updated 13/09/09 at 8:05 PM by Binkenstein
Updated with the changes posted for patch 3.2.2, and the final r18 release with the re-worked EP calculations. Since T8 2pc isn't changing, enable Flame Shock if you have that set bonus, and pick a "fourth" glyph.

New Flame Shock co-efficient: DD 16.063% DoT 75.023% or 12.504% per tick.

SEIC 3.2.0.17

Posted 05/08/09 at 8:30 PM by Binkenstein
With the release of Patch 3.2, there's a new version of SEIC, complete with the many many changes that came in the patch (yes, I'm being sarcastic here).

Changes in this version:
  • T9 set bonuses & Relic
  • Racial bonuses (a little experimental at the moment)
  • Item tab for comparing hit/no hit values of items to see which is better to use. The numbers are the no hit DEP difference divided by the hit rating difference (so a lower number means use the hit item). I'm still working on

3.2 Elemental Changes

Posted 18/06/09 at 8:47 PM by Binkenstein
Updated 04/08/09 at 8:30 PM by Binkenstein (More changes)
Overall, there's few elemental specific changes.

General Changes
  • Flame Shock, Earth Shock, Earth Shock, Wind Shock range has been increased from 20 yards to 25 yards.
  • Elemental Oath only affects non-periodic spell critical strikes.
  • Elemental Focus only affects non periodic critical strikes.
  • Wind Shock: Has been renamed Wind Shear and no longer shares a cooldown with Flame, Frost or Earth Shock.
Shock range is nice, but the fact that Wind ShockShear isn't on the global shock...
