Any changes to ele in 8.3?

Hi, guardians of the maelstrom,

Any changes coming up for shaman essences or to stats?

Asking because I am still not rank 3 with my “Blood of Enemy”, is crit still going to be the BIS stat for eles?

If not, I am not going to bother farming it.

Cheers,

Seeing how we are gonna get a 3rd minor essence slot aswell as potential crit dmg corrupted gear I think Blood of the Enemy will be super strong next patch. Personally though I’m not gonna farm it. Did that on my rogue and that was enough for me xD

there are new essences at 8.3 ,
I dont know about it but i suppose they will be better than the old ones.

Theres massive buffs to Worldvein Resonance as well the Unbound Force. I am very curious to see how they will compare. Noone ever took WR major, and UF was simply bad overall.

I think UF have potential to be a sleeper hit. It gets a 40% damage buff on the major, and the minor crit buff lasts longer.

Condensed Lifeforce badly needs competition. It gets a few small nerfs, but it may still remain the best raiding essence for the majory of dps specs which is truly terrible. As it forces dps to run Eternal Palace to be optimal.
So I truly hope it can be knocked off the spot.
