Introduction
On this page, you will find Elemental Shaman specificinformation to deal with each Boss in the Aberrus raid.
This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics ofeach encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what iscontained here are details specifically tailored toward Elemental Shamanand how you can deal with each fight as best as possible.
As a rule of thumb, if you can use those talents, use Healing Stream Totemand
Earth Shield during movement when your only alternative is a regular
Frost Shockor if you are out of range of the Boss for a bit (such as when dropping void zones in a corner).
Demonic Gateway, if available (and it almost always should be), helpssimplify many movement-heavy mechanics, so adjust your movement cooldown usagedepending on what your raid decides to use Demonic Gateway on (also true of
Stampeding Roar).You should absolutely buy
Gateway Control Shard in Valdrakken in order touse Gateways more reliably.
We also recommend being very aware of how boss abilities cycle and not usingdefensive cooldowns or Health consumables just because your Health drops low; itis likely that the "dangerous" ability just happened, and you should not takemuch damage for a while. Try to figure out in advance the situations where you wouldbenefit the most from them, as they are not necessarily best used as "panic buttons."Feel free to cast Healing Surge on yourself (or others) when in doubt.
Lightning and Fire builds are fairly close (until you get Shaman Elemental 10.2 Class Set 4pcbut are best at slightly different things. Fire has more mobility and morereliable priority target damage, Lightning will do (especially with T30 equipped)more single-target damage and has better AoE burst. Hybrids are possible if youwant to experiment.

Kazzara, the Hellforged
You can import one of our recommended talent trees for this Boss directly into thegame by copying one of the following strings:
Fire Build (preferred with Shaman Elemental 10.2 Class Set 4pc
- BYQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgUSrUSCgDk0SShSgkkEBAAAAAoEQSJJoJg0SSaBgkESgA
Lightning Build (preferred with Shaman Elemental 10.1 Class Set 4pc)
- BYQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAoVSSJJUSSLRDRJQiEAAAAAgSAJlkgmASLJpFASOQiEI
2.1.
Tips
- Very straightforward fight, but you will need to move more and more the longerthe fight lasts, so as the Boss gets below 40% health, try to use your movement cooldownssparingly, and always pay attention to the Boss's Energy so you can move immediatelyout of
Hellbeam.
- If targeted by a
Ray of Anguish, you can maintain full DPS by simplyusing
Spiritwalker's Grace If you can deal with the Ray easily, you couldinstead, keep it for when the Boss starts a
Hellbeam in your direction.
Wind Rush Totem should work very well to help people targeted with
Ray of Anguishreposition.
- MYTHIC ONLY: People targeted by
Rays of Anguish need to be very carefuland move in a predetermined pattern to avoid a ray touching the puddles leftbehind by other rays.
For more information, please refer to our Kazzara guide.

The Amalgamation Chamber
You can import one of our recommended talent trees for this Boss directly into thegame by copying one of the following strings:
Fire Build (preferred with Shaman Elemental 10.2 Class Set 4pc
- BYQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgUSrUSCgDk0SShSgkkEBAAAAAoEQSJJoJg0SSaBgkESgA
Lightning Build (preferred with Shaman Elemental 10.1 Class Set 4pc)
- BYQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAoVSSJJUSSLRDRJQiEAAAAAgSAJlkgmASLJpFASOQiEI
3.1.
Tips
- If you try to keep
Flame Shock on both bosses in Phase 1, be very carefulabout the different DoT stacks you are getting, or you will get yelled at.
Spiritwalker's Grace is best used on
Coalescing Void if itspawns fairly close to you, although if it spawns right on you, it may be worth using
Gust of Wind/
Spirit Walk or
Ghost Wolf to minimize damage.Otherwise, Spiritwalker's Grace may be kept for
Umbral Detonation, although you againmay want to use additional movement tools to move even farther away.
Wind Rush Totem is probably best used on
Coalescing Void and
Fiery Meteor in Phase 1, and
Gloom Conflagration in Phase 2.
- Try to keep defensive abilities and Health consumables for late into Phase 2when the
Shadowflame Contamination stacks get high.
- Make sure to have cooldowns (probably only your Elemental) available for Phase 2,and that your raid uses
Bloodlust/
Heroism for it as the firstphase is quite easy, and the second has a soft enrage.
For more information, please refer to our Amalgamation Chamber guide.

Lightning Build (preferred with Shaman Elemental 10.1 Class Set 4pc)
- BYQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAoVSSJJUSSLRDRJQiEAAAAAgSAJlkgmASLJpFASOQiEI
4.1.
Tips
- If necessary, holding onto
Stormkeeper should help deal with Erratic Remnantadds easily. Either way, focus them.
Wind Rush Totem is very handy to drop on the people getting their
Unstable Essencemass dispelled, so they can quickly move out of the circle. It can also be used to helpdeal with
Massive Slam. It is imperative for the entire raid to get out ofthe path of the last Boss's
Deep Breath, so do not hesitate to drop iteven on one person.
Gust of Wind should be available for every
Massive Slam.
- You should probably use a defensive when targeted by
Rending Charge.

Fire Build (preferred with Shaman Elemental 10.2 Class Set 4pc

Lightning Build (preferred with Shaman Elemental 10.1 Class Set 4pc)
- BYQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAoVSSJJUSSLRDRJQiEAAAAAgSAJlkgmASLJpFASSCBC
5.1.
Tips
- You should kill (and interrupt)Magma Mystics first, then Obsidian Guards,Flamebound Huntsmen and finally Zaqali Wallclimbers last. Thoseshould be AoE'd down with
Stormkeeper and
Echoes of Great Sunderingwhenever possible.
- Use a defensive on as many
Molten Barriers as seem necessary.
Spiritwalker's Grace is probably best used to grab
Cave Rubbleand move to the edge of the platform to drop it on adds before they finish climbing.
- MYTHIC ONLY: There are many possible ways of dealing with the mythic-only Renewed Hatchlingsadds, and Elemental has some good options, notably
Hex and
Earthgrab Totem.
Thunderstorm could also be handy, and simply using
Earthbind Totem,
Capacitor Totem and
Frost Shock could be enough.

- BYQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAoVSSJJUSSLRDRJQiEAAAAAgSAJlkgmASLJpFASOQiEI
6.1.
Tips
Spiritwalker's Grace is probably best used when targeted by
Searing Slam,though it can be nice to get out of
Shadowlava Blast or get in
Doom Flames.
- Do not hesitate to use
Gust of Wind and
Ghost Wolf to repositionproperly for any of the three previously mentioned abilities. Failing any of theseis very bad.
Wind Rush Totem is likely best used to help get people out of
Shadowlava Blastor to assist someone who needs to drop
Searing Slam far away. It could alsobe used to get people inside
Doom Flames faster.
- Defensives are best used during
Scorching Heatwave. Do not hesitateto use healing consumables and/or heal yourself if your Health is looking scaryduring that part of the fight.

7.1.
Tips
- It may be necessary to hold
Stormkeeper to deal with Dragonfire Golems.
Wind Rush Totem is probably best used to move out of the breath attackscaused by

Tips

Gust of Wind to counter
Overpowering Stomp, get out of
Blazing Breath or to reposition
Molten Spittle and if you havetime jump in the middle of
Magma Puddle to soak them. You can also use
Spiritwalker's Grace as your discretion for the last 3.
- Try to have defensive for when the Boss gets really low, as you will be takinga lot of DoT damage. Use defensives during
Igniting Roar.
