Dark Shaman Hero Talents

This would make for a far cooler themed hero talents imo.

Decay and enslaving the elements.

For reference, from the Dark Shamans raid boss in SoO dungeon journal:

Haromm and Kadris trained thousands of shaman to whisper reverently to the elements to requisition their aid. The army of Garrosh, however, does not ask - they take what they desire in the name of the True Horde. Dark Shamanish forces teh elements into servitude, twisting the minto burned-out ash, corrupted waters, and toxic air.

While the idea is cool I don’t know that a hero talent tree would be suffficient to convey that, especially since the rest of the shaman theme is about the “good” shaman

Dark shamans are just warlocks basically.

Elemental Warlocks, yes. Not going to lie though, I would welcome totemic reflavoring of the Gate and Summon abilities.

Would be a good thematic way to introduce Undead Shaman.

If Totemic ends up being something im excited about ill eat my hat. But im not putting money on it.

I dont know if dark shaman is better (what trees would it build from?) But its not worse than what i think Totemic will be.

Those dark shaman were pretty lethal back in SoO, but they (and the Twilight’s Hammer) were the antithesis of what we should be emulating as shaman.
