    The theme will be divided into several sections.

    1.Talents / Glyphs
    2.Stats
    3.Sockets/Enchant
    4.Rotation
    5.Profs


    1. Talents / Glyphs


    Talents: http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?shaman#169vE8iNOttz,,11623 , it is specialized for solo target.

    Glyphs for this spec are:
    Major Glyphs:
    1. Glyph of Lightning Bolt
    2. Glyph of Lava
    3. Glyph of Totem of Wrath

    Minor Glyphs:
    1. Glyph Glyph of Renewed Life
    2. Glyph of Ghost Wolf
    3. Glyph of Water Shield

    Minor Glyphs 2, 3 arent a must.

    2. Stats

    Shaman's stats depend on many things.To begin with that it depends on what race (Racial Buff). Example in my case (Troll) Berserking (Increases your attack and casting speed by 20% for 10 sec.) Berserking, which automatically allows me to emphasis on Spell Power.

    Stat priority for a shaman is this:

    Hit (until hit cap) - Spell Power - Haste - Crit

    1.Hit cap for the elemental shaman is 17%. Upon nice setup will not have a problem even if you have 13%, you can save yourself a hard cap.
    2.Spell Power doesnt have cap, the more the better.
    3.Haste - 1100 haste is enought. Haste determines your rotation .. (You'll see below).

    4. Sockets / Enchants

    Sockets

    1.Red: Runed Cardinal Ruby
    2.Orange: Reckless Ametrine (12 Spell Power 10 Haste)
    3.Blue: Runed Cardinal Ruby ( or 10 Spell power + 15 stamina if you have to use any blue gems for the meta ).
    4.Meta: Chaotic Skyflare Diamond

    Enchants


    1. Head - Arcanum of Burning Mysteries
    2. Shoulders - Greater Inscription of the Storm
    3. Back - 23 Haste
    4. Chest - 10 All Stats
    5. Bracers -30 Spell Power
    6. Weapon - 63 Spell Power or Black Magic (depends on stats)
    7. Shield - 25 Intellect
    9. Gloves - 28 Spell Power
    10. Legs - 50 Spell Power + 30 Stamina
    11. Feet - Icewalker

    5.Rotation

    This part comes Int, as I said above, the rotation will depend depending on your Haste:
    1. People who are below their 11000 Haste rotation will include Chain Lighting (because of the small cast, amassing more dps).
    Their rotation is: Flame Shock - Lava Burst - Chain Lighting - Lighting Bolt - Lighting Bolt - Lighting Bolt ...

    2. And people who have more than 11000 Haste dont use Chain Lighting.
    The rotation is this: Flame Shock - Lava Burst - Lighting Bolt - Lighting Bolt - Lighting Bolt - Lighting Bolt - Lava Burst and again. Very important part of the rotation of the shaman is to refresh Flame Shock in the last seconds before the end (or you lose DPS).

    6.Profs

    Professional are an essential part of the DPS (bonuses) for all heroes. Every profession gives bonuses, you have to choose which bonuses are the best for you.

    1.Leather Working - 78 Spell Power Bracers
    2.Enchanting - Spell Power on the rings.
    3.Tailoring - Spell Power on the Back
    4.Engineering - 300 Haste glove with CD 1 minute.

    When it comes to shaman it's best to keep your haste high enough so Lightning bolt is closest to 1 second as possible, and don't look at your cast time out of combat when fixing your stats. go near a dummy and proc your relic. you always get 200 to 220 haste Due to your relic.


    Also in the spec it's best to go for imporved Shields rather than maxing Conviction
