You know how casters stay back in PvP? Chain Lightning and watch the Priests scramble to patch up everyone. While they're healing, the cooldown is done then use this on any enemy tanks and Hunter pets. Have to heal those guys too. Pretty soon the Priests will be out of mana.

Very good at clearing out grouped together PvP targets.
Just hit elemental master, with a bit of spell damage items or oils, and watch the sparks fly.
wizard oils might not be worth the loss of an elemental weapon.

Commentaire de Nerobyrne

Okay, this is just speculation, but i have a mean plan for this. If you skilled both elemental mastery and nature's swiftness, you could shoot one critical, instant and free chain lightning!

If three shamans did this right away in 3v3 arena, i calculated that this would do a maximum total of 10400+ damage to everyone! That is assuming that they are all hit, and that each shaman has +700 spell dmg....but, completely instant and free.....i wonder if this would be doable, or if it's a waste of time. Any comments?

Commentaire de Diantul

100% crit abilitys (such as elemental mastery) as far as i know arnt affected by resilience in terms of critically hitting, but the critical damage is still reduced

Just be careful of where and when you use this, especially in PvE. Unlike pets and summoned minions (Mage/Shaman Elementals, Priest's Shadowfiend, Balance Druid's Treants), CL doesn't seem to care whether or not a mob's CC'd. It gets really bad when you're, for example, doing ZF and all you have for CC is Sap from a couple Rogues.
Don't take this the wrong way; CL is a VERY good spell, it's just not a wise choice if you're using CC like Sap or Polymorph.

More than double mana cost than the level 70, and only about 20% more damaging as base... of course, if the mana pools nearly double, it shouldn't be a problem.

Coolest spell on the face of the earth...I mean Azeroth.

Commentaire de ricekrispieslol

the crown jewl of shaman spells........sniff, i love it!

Commentaire de andyplayswow

Good spell!

Commentaire de Nerobyrne

The 30% damage reduction is based on what's left.

ie. it's actual percent, not percent points.
This becomes clear since there is a glyph that makes it hit 4 targets.
Here is the math for it. I'll make it easy and assume 1000 base damage
1: 1000
2: 700
3: 490
4: 343

I would assume, however, that the bonus spell damage for all hits is calculated only once, at the start of the chain.

PS: sry if someone posted this on an earlier post already ^^

Commentaire de 337346

It is possible to hit the first target, miss the second, and it continue to hit the third target.

Commentaire de 114933

can chain lightning ignore mob's in CC?

Commentaire de 165543

is it just me or does the icon look like something off of star wars?

Commentaire de Peanut502

IMA FIRIN' MAH LAZAR!
BAH!

Commentaire de ScoobieDewm

Anyone ever take a good look at the icon? Shocker, ladies? >>;

Commentaire de dreadblood

it does, but the most star-wars-y thing in WoW atm is Apôtre d'Argus, darth maul ftw!

Commentaire de Ordayc

Chain Lightning can now jump to targets for whom the facing requirement is not fulfilled. That means if you cast CL at an enemy, it now may also jump to targets outside of your frontal 180° cone (e.g. an enemy standing behind you).

This was changed in a recent patch (4.2, 5.1 or any in between); previously, it would only jump to targets you could cast CL at directly.

Commentaire de guatafu

Unlimited POWER!

Commentaire de sztwolf

as of 4.3, Chain Lightning is spammable as Elemental specialisation.

FAK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~

looks like we will need to manage our mana now.

Commentaire de awm12321

As of the 4.3 PTR, this spell no longer has a cooldown.

Commentaire de Saikko

As of Patch 4.3, where the CD was removed for Elemental Shamans, you may now become a Sith lord....

Note: Maintain Lightning Shield, and you shouldn't run out of mana, if you're hitting 2-3 targets

Commentaire de rodalpho

The devs told us exactly how Chain Lightning works with Elemental Overload in MoP at the link below.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/5889309137?page=28#560

I'm pasting it here in case they retire the beta forums after release.

Each target hit by your Chain Lightning has a 1/3 chance of being able to proc Chain Lightning Overload. The glyph does not change this. If you have a 30% Elemental Overload chance, and cast Chain Lightning on 3 mobs, there is a 10% chance on each of those targets (individual chances) for there to be a Chain Lightning Overload cast at that target (not the original target).

If you then glyph Chain Lightning and cast it on 5 targets, there is still an individual 10% chance on each of those targets to have a Chain Lightning Overload cast at them. This also works the other way as well, however, as Chain Lightning on a single target effectively will give you 1/3 the number of Overload procs as Lightning Bolt will (per cast, of course).

Commentaire de Thottbot

yummy, just like in warcraft 3 :D

Commentaire de Thottbot

like far seer xD

Commentaire de Thottbot

go to www.worldofwarcraft.com

click on forums

go to pvp disscusion and go to shaman wreckage and watch the ownage of this spell in ful fury!

Commentaire de Thottbot

Steady there folks!

I would be nervous of using this in solo PvE. It is a bit too uncontrolled. Control of mobs is the thing in PvE.

However for PvP, blast away and watch the HKs soar!

Commentaire de Thottbot

this spell kicks but. it shoots lightling out of your hands x>

Commentaire de Thottbot

A Shaman has done a Chain Lightning Critical Strike on a little over 25000.

Commentaire de Thottbot

it is true :D i got the movie whit it on :D

Commentaire de Thottbot

I got this move on my 32 Shammy, (Dranei =D) and it pwns, I get about 250 crits on the first hit, not a great pull though, found that out the hard way =(.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Is this a aoe spell?

Commentaire de Thottbot

ofc it is

Commentaire de Thottbot

I cant wait, this is a cool looking spell xD

Commentaire de Thottbot

Jesus christ! im lvl 32 and with this in WSG with beserker buff i crit for 742? wtf

Commentaire de Thottbot

Dude....25k is NOT that much, seriously guys it is a big crit but definetely NOT when u have a TON of stormstrike buffs and the priest spellpower discipline spell...its not like ur gunna be walkin around and get a crit of 25k so dont base this spell upon a video...

Commentaire de Thottbot

actually the highest crit is like 132k it was a pyro and it was on a boss with a weakness to fire.

Commentaire de Thottbot

well that doesnt really count, anyone can get huge crits at bosses. Have for an example blackwing lair where people bragged about their 20k soulfires and 15k frostbolts. Those crits dont really matter, the only crits that people are really interested about outside a raid dungeon on a normal player (most of the time a warrior).

btw this spell kicks ass, it made me make a shaman and level it all the way to 63 atm :)

Commentaire de Thottbot

yeah it used too, had a crit of total 3000 dmg at 43 but hten blizz changed it after a recent patch ul just get a normal spell but that spell can crit if ur lucky

Commentaire de Thottbot

What is that mod the guy has on the screen shots i want it !

Commentaire de Thottbot

alright ive had enough of watching you guys argue about the whole 25k crit thing. yes ive seen the vid and he had full epics, a priest with poewr infusion, lots of other buffs and potions to increase spell damage and 38 (yes 38!) other enhancement shamans all put stormstrike on. back then this would stack and increase the damage of the next nature spell by (well u figure it out, 20%x2x38) then he put on that ele move which makes a garunteed crit and kaboom. NOT possible anymore due to the fact that stromstrike does not stack but it was perfectly possible back then.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Lots of talk about awesome crits but very little advice for young shamans.

Chain lightning is a great PVE opener when you know that you are going to have to face 2 or 3 mobs (and you are solo). If you can hit with this a time or two, it will build enough aggro on all of the mobs that they won't go for your magma or fire nova totem the moment you drop it.

Commentaire de Thottbot

is that a bad thing lol

Commentaire de Thottbot

The good thig about this is the awesome casting time wich talented goes to 1,5 secs and the fact that the damage reduction is applied each time and not on the starting amount.
So the last bolt will deal 30% less damage than the second one and not than the first one.
Plus when u cast it you have 3 chances to crit and if u crit with the 3 of them your mana efficiency will be terrifying.

Commentaire de Thottbot

the reason that the shammy crited 24k was that there was 9 shammy's that casted heroism witch increased the spell damage by 270% and maybe some other buffs. though he might of critted about 8k i dont know but i know that they buffed like hell

Commentaire de Thottbot

soz i mean that it was together 270% if im not wrong

Commentaire de Thottbot

At lvl 33, i crit 700, on a Stranglethorn Raptor using chain lightning now imagine that but rank 5 with my spell crit alot higher,

Eruvatar, Thuasrrian

Commentaire de Thottbot

this spell is true beauty, nuff said

Commentaire de Thottbot

it's lighting just on more then one guy! XD. Don't use if you're fighting one guy. Use if you're fighting more then 1 guy? Tough i know.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

This spell will only work properly if you are in a group. They really need to add that to the tooltip.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

How do you select the targets for this move?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

only works on enemies in parties or raids(?) found that out in BG... otherwise it hits only 1 enemy

Commentaire de Allakhazam

this spell PWNS
