So I’ve resigned myself that shamans are getting basically nothing, as usual. But that won’t stop me from screaming into the void, as usual.
Awakening Storms has barely any visual effect at all to indicate that you’ve dealt the bonus damage- which makes it much harder than it needs to be in order to actually track when you’re going to get another Tempest, save for looking at the buff tracker in the corner (tiny) or using a WeakAura.
You should not have to install addons to be able to know when your ability is going to function. Same thing for tracking when you’re building up a normal Tempest proc.

Unfortunately, they have continued to develop toward the need to use weak auras. Almost every single spec has multiple proc modifiers or mechanics that for players who care about performance, Addons are a must. I guess since button bloat is an issue and players don’t always like RNG, all they can think to add to the game more are more passive modifiers and “X happens after spending Y resource”
They literally wouldn’t even have to do much, even just borrowing the lightning effects they have for the lighning ward, or god forbid the 30 new lightning effects they gave mountain thane, and just slap it on the proc. Simple.
