And I love the new doom winds animation as well. Looks super interesting
I have enjoyed stormbringer and totemic.
Totemic in PvP can be frustrating, but the totem is actually useful for stopping node caps, and there are some fun burst options with it like sundering triggering the big tremor.
Stormbringer feels great on enhance to me, it’s nice to pair with elementalist build because it adds a bit of up tempo to the build. I think pure storm build stormbringer is too much spam for me but I can see why people would enjoy it too. I just prefer the mix of elemental rotation plus stormbringer procs.
Oh I didn’t even know that … I need to re-read my talents.
I been playing Totemic, I played it in Beta. I have been bouncing back from Storm and Elementalist, it will be interesting to see how it works in our raid tonight.
The new changes to Totemic are very nice, I believe the new talents and changes will help balance out the spec because more spells will trigger rebound, and reactivity will be rolled into lively totems. The new Hot hands is also nice.
dragging around the Totem is a pita though, but running some of the dungeouns, I have learned where the choke points are and where some tanks might drag and stop. So with M+ starting, this also will be a new interesting thing to learn.
I quite like the casting side of things with enh. It allows me to damage when some other classes may be otherwise sol.
The changes also seemingly kill Storm totemic since Stormstrike no longer triggers rebound and capstone. The only real storm interaction left is with imbuement mastery and ascendance. So now you’re forced into elementalist if you want to play totemic in any content where dps matters.
There is a Storm Hybrid build that uses storm and ice strike/hailstorm, but it’s only good for Single target.
If you want to play M+ your only real option is Stormbringer Elementalist, it sims so far ahead of everything else in AOE. Storm totemic is after that, about 15% lower on average, but that’s going away in November. Totemic Elementalist is 10% lower than Storm totemic and Stormbringer storm is slightly lower but basically tied with Toemic ele. So if you want to run Stormbringer Storm you’re about 25% lower than Stormbringer Elementalist, which is just way too much dps to lose. In november that gap might close a bit with the new doomwinds, slight help from the sunder talent, but so far not much else to close that gap.
same. I’m a little disappointed about losing the msw from pw but i guess we’ll all adapt.
