Operation: Fix Zariyah

I'm TERRIBLE at shammy theorycraft, but I wanted to run ya through RAWR and get some theoretical numbers. RAWR's version 2.2.19 is supposed to be quite good for elemental under the rotation:

  • FS
  • Lava Burst
  • 6 x Lightening Bolt
  • Lava Burst
  • 5 x Lightening Blot
  • (repeat)

RAWR "theoretical" dps in your gear is 6655 but we all know that this is usually out of reach for most of us. So I added a few "easily" obtainable pieces of gear to its optimizer to get a list of some upgrades. Take all these with a grain of salt and a bit of brain, of course:

  • [Nobundo's Helm of Conquest], gem with [Reckless Ametrine]: 50 x [Emblem of Triumph]
  • [Flowing Sapphiron Drape] from heroic Ony
  • [Spectral Kris] from 5-man heroic Trial
  • [Abyssal Rune] from normal 5-man heroic Trial

Anyhoo, I wanted to put it out here for discussion and any input any of our shammies might have!

You just need to steal grasen's box when he's done fixin it!

Theoretical dps is now what, 5.5K dps giving your latency and if you doing everything right in a perfect tank and spank fight that lasts 6 mins?

Right around there yes.  I see myself pushing 4700 on some fights, so I know I'm close.

 

Also...the healer in me has a hard time letting go...I've saved quite a few asses the other night in raid!! lol

*reflameshock, cutting off the current flame shock dot, unlikely that's good

Cool thing about LvB & FS...if I'm doing it right (not too close to the boss) and FS falls off before LvB finishes, I can FS immediatly after the LvB cast and it actually beats LvB to the target. Cool
