- For Elem Shaman. The reason why I choose rank one was that it has a cast time of .5 seconds talented so if you were at max range you would actually have both a rank12 and a rank1 in the air. Clearcast doesn't proc until the bolt hits the target so basically you had 2 chances to queue up a clearcast. HOwever, they've added a gcd to rank1 now, so that's out. Alternating rank12 and rank4 on long fights has been suggested to me so I'm going to start crunching the viability o fthat one.
- For Enh Shaman. 2.1 changed the offranking bug, but it also intruduced a new element to basically guarantee a 20% proc rate on dw wf. The three second rule is in place, but the combat mechanics correct for a lower proc rate so as long as you are close to 1k ap or better wf5/wf5 is still the best option. Rockbiter suffers from armor mitigation so it's nowhere near as powerful. For the most part your +spel stuff just doesn't itemize well with an enhancement build so you end up gimping your main damage (white) to try and boost your yellow. Windfury is still king.:)
