11.0.5. Ele Shaman 10/29 Balance Tuning Summary - By Earthshrine (includes % nerfs estimates)

The rework was widely fine and simply needed adjustments like everything does. It’s literally Blizzard’s fault for deciding to nerf it in the worst way possible after already adjusting it and deciding to nerf things before bug fixing them. You should be directing this anger at Blizzard and not at the people who are basically doing half of the dev’s jobs for them. It’s also Blizzard’s fault for not providing PvP a dedicated talent/spellbook system separate from PvE and letting PvP stagnate into dead content.

This just all goes to show how wildly out of touch people crunching the numbers actually are. The reality is the people fixing bugs probably do not even communicate with the teams working the numbers, and neither of those teams actually plays an ele shaman.

Yeah sure. More copium…

Spec suddenly dealing 4x more damage on CD is definetely a healthy design. Keep compromising yourself.

I mean they/we 100% understand that. Nobody is confused how this possibly happened. Last time this occured for Ele was during beta when they nuked Farseer Fire by bug fixing Lava Surge and Searing Flames while nuking the kit. We’re just amazed at the magnitude of it this time.

What does this even mean?

It’s not. It’s an explanation. The only copium here is me making this reposting this stuff from Earthshrine in hopes a dev reads it (takes a big huff).

Do you save Spymasters for Ascendance? Also did crit increase in value? I see that you have crit enchants on your rings.

Try too, yeah. Sometimes will dump spymasters a little early, around 30 for ASC window.
