Elemental Shaman PvP Best Arena Compositions — The War Within (11.0.5)
Now that you have the correct talents and understand your damage rotation, it is time to step into the arena with your team. Elemental Shamans have multiple burst cooldowns with unrelenting sustained damage. Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Elemental Shaman (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).
This page is part of our Elemental Shaman PvP Guide.
2v2 Arena
Elemental Shaman are a mid-tier caster for 2v2 due to Primordial Wave, and Lava Burst's high burst damage output and Lightning Lasso's crowd-control.
The general strategy is to use crowd control on the healer while using Primordial Wave procing Totem of Wrath with talents including Magma Chamber, and Earth Shock.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:
- Elemental Shaman + Holy Paladin
- Elemental Shaman + Discipline Priest
- Elemental Shaman + Restoration Druid
- Elemental Shaman + Preservation Evoker
- Elemental Shaman + Destruction Warlock
3v3 Arena
Elemental Shaman's role in 3v3 Arena is to burst through the use of high sustained damage through Lava Bursts, Primordial Wave, Fire Elemental along with burst damage from Earth Shock to overwhelm the other team. It also provides utility to the team by interrupting the enemy with Wind Shear, Thunderstorm, and Earthgrab Totem, Static Field Totem, and by using totems like Grounding Totem and Tremor Totem to stop the enemy team's crowd control.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:
- Elemental Shaman + Arms Warrior + Restoration Druid/Preservation Evoker
- Elemental Shaman + Destruction Warlock/Demonology Warlock + Holy Priest/Preservation Evoker
- Elemental Shaman + Affliction Warlock + Restoration Druid
- Elemental Shaman + Balance Druid + Holy Paladin
- Elemental Shaman + Frost Mage + Restoration Druid
