Skybreaker's Fiery Demise -
Flame Shock damage over time critical strikes reduce the cooldown of
Storm Elemental /
Fire Elemental by 1.0 sec, and
Flame Shock has a 30% increased critical strike chance. Inspired by the old Tier 20 set bonuses -
Item - Shaman T20 Elemental 2P Bonus &
Item - Shaman T20 Elemental 4P Bonus - this legendary power is the one that leans hardest towards Blizzard's goal that
Flame Shock &
Lava Burst be the primary focus of the rotation. Traditionally, those set bonuses were extremely powerful in council-type fights. So powerful in fact that Elemental favored using that set bonus a tier later on the one fight that favored it. Look for this Legendary to be one of the ones that Elemental aims for.
Elemental Equilibrium - Dealing direct Fire damage increases the damage of your next Frost spell by 30%. Dealing Frost damage increases the damage of your next Nature spell by 25%. Dealing Nature damage increases the damage of your next Fire spell by 20%. Similar in nature to
Master of the Elements, this Legendary power looks to expand further on that idea. If the talent is anything to go by, then if Elemental ends up utilizing this legendary then expect to treat this as a simple passive. Gaming the procs to try to maximize them has proven to be at best dps neutral in the past, and a loss if you lose any spell in the process. This legendary has potential, but the bonuses are too small at the moment to have a meaningful impact on our rotation.
Echoes of Great Sundering - When you consume 6 or more stacks of
Fulmination with
Earth Shock, your next
Earthquake will be instant cast and deal 250% additional damage. It's worth noting that the tooltip on the site, as of the writing of this article, is incorrect and the bonus provided in the beta currently is 250%. The return of
Echoes of the Great Sundering as a legendary power is a welcome one, and opens up the same interesting synergies it had with things like
Aftershock in Legion. It won't have much use on big AoE pulls, but this could see use on Single-Target/Cleave scenarios.
Windspeaker's Lava Resurgence - When you consume 6 or more stacks of
Fulmination with
Earth Shock, gain
Lava Surge and increase the damage of all
Lava Bursts cast in the next 15 seconds by 30%. Again the tooltip, as of the writing of this article, is incorrect and in the Beta it currently empowers all
Lava Burst casts by 30% for the next 15 seconds. The only legendary Elemental without a known source of pre-Shadowlands inspiration, this one has some interesting potential. The current iteration of the legendary pairs quite strongly with
Ascendance on single-target, and would certainly laser-focus us on single-target when used.
