Welcome to our Elemental Shaman DPS guide for World of Warcraft MoP 5.3. Here, you will learn everything you need to know about playing an Elemental Shaman in a raid environment, though most of the content also applies to normal and heroic dungeons.

This guide has been reviewed and approved by Leeds, one of the best Elemental Shamans in the world, who raids in Method. You can watch his stream on Twitch.

Elemental Shamans perform decently in both single-target and multiple-target situations. Their rotation is very easy to understand and to master. Also, they retain a large part of their DPS while moving.

Thanks to the wide array of useful abilities that they bring through their many totems, Elemental Shamans always make a worthy addition to any raid.

To make it easy to bookmark the specific sections you are interested in, we have split the guide into 7 pages:
