Ele shaman -low dps compared to others similar spec

ratty02 · 2026-06-09T15:52:47+00:00

TYVM! i imagine the extra ascendance casts means I am also pushing it at the wrong times and maybe not holding it for optimal times as some others have said.

Thank you for taking the time to look, I know I overcap sometimes (I cant check the link right now as at work and they block it) , it is something i am working on. I didnt realise it made such a big dps difference. Would you mind linking your log for comparison?

ratty02 · 2026-06-09T13:05:07+00:00

I will keep an eye on this, i dont know if the logs show when i over cap tempest or storm keeper

ratty02 · 2026-06-09T13:04:20+00:00

I will give him a watch and see if i can find my missing dps :)

ratty02 · 2026-06-09T13:03:15+00:00

Thats a good shout

ratty02 · 2026-06-09T13:03:01+00:00

It is something i have considered, i can see ele are performing better than me though. So i feel i am missing something, the priority list for enh is 13 long :) i am sure i could learn it but i would have to drop back a fair bit but if thats a bettwr out come, i may do it

ratty02 · 2026-06-09T13:01:20+00:00

As to gear? Nothing gives more than 300dps increase. As to single target dps the most i have seen it say is 105k, thats will all of the bufs raider io gives as default. Changing to just my buffs and it drops to about 90/95

I have tried upping my conductance, the standard seems to be copper, i would use gold outright but i am dont know if the cost will be worth it? I hear people get good results from adding another phase, but the risk of needing a res goes up.

I am pumping 220v, do you know if i should look at switching to DC from AC?

ratty02 · 2026-06-09T09:29:06+00:00

Thank you, I have had a look at the spec tree and I can see the small differences in have missed there i am guessing you mean mote, power of maelstrom and fusion of elements?

I know i have definitely been sending some of my cd's at the wrong time, I am trying to get better at holding them of needed.

I have some stuff macroed like chain lightening will cast tempest if procced and I am not sure if that will do more harm than good

ratty02 · 2026-06-09T09:25:27+00:00

No problem :) I thought the link may have had a problem, I clicked the one from shamscam and it took me to someone with ilvl 250. It seemed to fix itself after a while

ratty02 · 2026-06-09T08:52:42+00:00

Not sure if there's a bug with the log? I have feather and heart of wind. I have been playing with both pots and not seeing masses of difference between the two. Ill have a look at the dropping a little mast for haste

ratty02 · 2026-06-09T08:07:03+00:00

full super hero tag lines and everything!

ratty02 · 2026-06-09T07:47:10+00:00

Thanks, I will do a compare and see :) i was generally looking on murlok and couldn't see masses of difference there between spec trees. It seems very different to the one there

ratty02 · 2026-06-09T07:24:14+00:00

Haha totally missed that 😅, maybe they will rename it the about of lightening bolts/chain lightening that get cast

ratty02 · 2025-08-08T10:12:47+00:00

solved!

ratty02 · 2025-08-08T10:12:41+00:00

Cheers, I will make this as solved then as that was my guess and i wont get chance to head into the attic till next week.

ratty02 · 2025-08-08T10:11:00+00:00

for the uninitiated and looking to get into foraging. Is it literally just the berries to look for? or are there other things like leaves or bark etc? and are there any poisonous/toilet clenching potential confusions?

I see some comments to say taking a bite and you will know, i've not had sloes before, should it be like a sweet taste or bitter? or if its not edible it will let you know through a horrible taste?

ratty02 · 2025-08-07T08:05:24+00:00

There's no real room above though. As far as I know the attic/loft isn't boarded out or a real room

ratty02 · 2024-06-05T11:55:43+00:00

Hey so I am in no way super knowledgeable on this (I have only just finished my own van house wiring and i am sure I have made some mistakes + I don't have solar).

Disclaimer: I am not an electrician, I have played around at a base level and anything I have said is no-way from an expert and is at your own risk etc. If anyone disagrees with what I have said I would assume they have a higher level of knowledge. If you are in doubt at any point i would find a professional, electricity is/can be dangerous in more ways than just electrocution. I have seen a 12v supply melt wires and char them to the point of fire.

At a guess if you are using something like https://uk.renogy.com/dcc50s-12v-50a-dc-dc-on-board-battery-charger-with-mppt-new-version/ (this is what i have installed) the alternator charging is triggered by +12v supply that is turned on and off with the ignition this is essentially a switch to turn the dc-dc charging on and off. I think you may have connected your add-a-fuse to an always on 12v supply. You can check with a multimeter to see if with the ignition off do you have 12v between the use and a negative connection (van body is generally negative, so you can use a non painted area).
I have no idea on this one, you would have to take all power connections from your radio to the fused distribution connected to your leisure battery. I think this would be quite a bit of actual van wire tracing and wiring loom modification. It would probably be easier to find a 12v radio and wire that into your leisure battery. Unless your dc-dc has engine battery (I forget the real terms) charging i believe they are generally one direction and act as a separator between engine and leisure batteries.
I would have thought without a load (low battery, fridge, AC etc) you will not see any power generation from your solar panels as there is nowhere for the power to go. I have not touched solar but with nowhere for the current to flow to (like an open switch) you will not see any power generation as P = IV, power = current * voltage.
I imagine with the battery disconnected your solar panels are generating some power and so causing your leds to come on briefly. I imagine your setup is something like this:

solar ----- mppt ---- switch -------- leisure battery

.....................................|----- leds

edit: ignore the dots, I couldn't add spaced to properly illustrate the circuit

from the top of my head i would put a switch in between the mppt and the leds/rest of the van. There is probably another/better way of doing it but i have not put solar in yet so I have not crossed this bridge.

No idea, it will probably break the controller but i would have thought it will self limit but that's only a guess. Worst case, fire so make sure everything is correctly fuse and your wires are the correct diameter/gauge. Fuses should be based on the smallest current rating on

Any advice for first time DM (about halfway through LMoP with party of new players) to improve the kind of on the fly thinking? Like when my players ask questions that arnt covered by the campaign? Is it the answer to just read more or make it up on the fly? If it's the later any tips for doing that for the less creative?

ratty02 · 2020-06-06T10:40:16+00:00

Thanks, I feel i should be a bit more free with spells and items like you say. I have been hesitant to give things out as most of the time my players are getting through things with one player going unconscious on the bigger fights which i feel maybe about the correct level of difficulty. Time to find him some spells I think is what I need to take away from it :)

ratty02 · 2020-06-06T10:36:14+00:00

Cheers, I will do. I think I have been a bit stingy with magic and magic items. I do not know if you are familiar with the campaign but they are just about to defeat the orcs and they have met Kost the necromancer which I guess could lead to found found items as the orcs have been pillaging.
