Miscellaneous Tips

• Recommendations that include Icefury are written with the assumption that you have access to Frost Shock, the same applies to Liquid Magma Totem, Totemic Recall and Call of the Elements.

• GCDs spent on healing and utilities are GCDs not spent on damage, but both are necessary to down a raid boss. Find the balance to optimize your contributions to your raid team.

• Time spent in Ghost Wolf is time spent not doing damage. Practice proactive movement and utilize Spiritwalker’s Grace, Gust of Wind and instant casts as much as you can for movement heavy encounters.

• Planning and using Earth Elemental on a particular phase can alleviate the difficulty of whole parts of a fight. It will increase your maximum health by an additional 15 % and can give you Primordial Bond for the whole duration. Be careful and remember that it could interfere with your Primal Fire/Storm Elemental usage when Primal Elementalist is talented.

• To volunteer for interrupt assignments can be especially beneficial to us considering Seasoned Winds and Inundate provide additional damage reduction and ressources.

• Keep in mind that Enhanced Imbues becomes pointless if neither Thunderstrike Ward nor Improved Flametongue Weapon are talented. Recommended builds include Enhanced Imbues by default for simplicity’s sake.

• Remember to buy Gateway Control Shard. It will allow you to use Demonic Gateway easily.
