Is Ele Sham worth investing time into? Everyone on Warmane makes it seems so bad
I have an Ele Sham + Destro on Classic, and I played both on Blackrock and I liked both specs tbh.
I primarily do PvP, but in Classic I tried Affi PvE and it was pretty fun managing dots and stuff but it's kind of too much to think about when I don't really care about parsing or topping meters.
I realistically only PvE to gear for PvP, and out of Destro or Ele i'm confused on what to main.
I love both play styles, I like Destro's insane burst and you can win 1v1s and 1v2s very easily if played correctly but in Arena it's a whole other beast and is very unforgiving if you mess up.
Ele on the other hand is just absurdly fun and you can mongo DPS in BGs and in Arenas you can burst kids down randomly which I enjoy.
My only hang up on Ele Sham is unlike Warlock it looks like they fall off really hard in later phases and I don't want to spend hours just trying to get into a raid group lol.
Is Ele Sham worth investing into or is Lock better overall?
I played ele few years ago and I never had problems raiding with guild or even finding a pug raid. For normal raids, it shouldn't be a problem, for heroics, it depends on guild.
Play whatever you want to play buddy, Elemental is just talked down on because it's one of the lowest dps at "bis" gear, but you will still be able to out dps many pugs in a pug icc 25 man normally.
