Beta changes today (get pre-annoyed)

Ele

EB goes from 60ms to 30ms.

Enhance

MSW max stacks go from 10 to 5.

Stormstrike has a 25% chance to strike the target an additional time for 40% of normal damage. This effect can chain off of itself.
Tier 2 Talent, in place of Stormfury

Resto

Mana Tide totem reduced from 15 yard range to 10.

Meh no one will take it anyway.

And since it is ST and all that apparewntly seems to matter is aoe cleave in SL then meh again

Its why I said for people to get preannoyed.

The change we (ele) got was completely useless.

Enh got an annoying nerf in msw stacking.

Resto got a weird reduction on MTT.

Just a bunch of annoying things.

Why do I feel they found it too hard to fix so they just reverted it?

seems to be a theme.

Next change is enhance back to BfA

What needed to be fixed? I wasn’t aware of anything broken in that regard. Having more stacks than what you need is actually nice and literally fixed an issue I feel enhance had in BFA. The inability to pool resources.

Because the way of us using the stacks was previously bugged. Having the ability to hoard stacks of MSW gave us room to manoeuvre and not be wasteful. Now they’ve just reverted us to max 5 stacks again.

Didn’t realize there was a bug with it previously.

This was a major plus that enhancement really needs.

Just why. This makes no sense. The 10 kept from overcapping. More nerfs to an already neutered class. Give back actual totems and stop putting the shaman class in a grave. I was an enh main all the way from 1.2 to WoD. WoD killed it. Legion destroyed it. BFA annihilated it. Now in SL they just want to vaporize it. Just…why.

I agree with you, they’ve nerfed us which sucks. :frowning:

Yeah I had forgotten about that. Literally just found it myself lol. Was coming back to link to it for clarification.

“we found a bug, and instead of fixing the bug we are just going to nerf the class”

Pretty much what I’m thinking, couldn’t figure it out so it’s easier to just change 10 to 5. Such a lousy change.

You did miss one thing: Lightning Shield will generate 5 maelstrom for ele shamans when they are struck in combat. At least there’s a reason to cast the ability now.

In PVE I still will most likely not expend the physical energy to cast it.

Generally I try extremely hard not to get melee’d. If I am getting melee’d regularly in m+ or raiding, something is wrong.

C’mon, gotta get that potential extra 0.1% dps.

Fortunately as ele my attack power is incredibly high!

ugh…nothing at all for ele after reverting everything? I guess i’m not playing ele next xpac lol

I don’t think it’s all doom & gloom. Ele is very close to being in a good spot imo. Just needs a little tweaking.

Well I’m biased cause I don’t like how it plays on live at all

This. I think our AE in a great spot. I honestly was expected a tone down here.

For PVE my main concern is flameshock right now. Either its duration or spreading.
