How to play dungeons at level 25

Your combat loop

Press the first one that is ready.

Every Shaman plays this loop at level 25. Elemental’s own loop starts at level 14.

Own loop from: Elemental level 14Enhancement level 18

Searing Totem Rank 2 Totem

Keep the totem down near the fight; it attacks by itself.

8% of your damage
Flame Shock Rank 2 Keep on target · 21 sec

Keep it on the target; it lasts 21 sec.

14% of your damage
Lightning Bolt Rank 4 Filler

Cast it whenever nothing above is ready.

78% of your damage

The first 30 seconds

When to press each one from the pull. The blue line under a press is the global cooldown (1.5 sec) or cast it holds: nothing else on the global cooldown can go until it ends, so of two that are ready together the higher one goes first.

Flame Shock

In the gaps: Lightning Bolt
All the time: Searing Totem
