Earthen Wall Totem

Its time for a visual buff.

Un-ironically this would be a buff for R-shams even though all its doing is showing people where to stand.

maybe include a grip so it will keep your teammates inside it no matter what?

Earthen wall is kinda just bad conceptually. It should just be reworked into an aura or something you place on an ally.

make it on use all active earthshields reduce damage taken by 25% for 8 seconds or somethin

dispellable?

I wasn’t sure about that, because it makes rsham really susceptible to purge if that’s the case.

Why cant it just be an aura placed on everyone when you drop the totem instead of a ground effect

change the visual effect to a literal wall that stops movement and los

if the wall spawns under you, you get dc’d of course

People run out of my barriers constantly on disc so people will still run out of earthen

Yeah, but you play at 1400. Players down there don’t even know what barrier is.

a significantly better weakness than hoping your team can utilize the stationary defensive that disproportionately effects smaller hits

besides that i think purges are another big ticket item that need to be looked at after armor
arcane mage purge should obviously not exist in the state that it does and priest should lose more for it’s 4-8 second windows of nothing but purge into the other purge susceptible healing specs (rdru mw)

while i recognize and appreciate that that is and was always a portion of the rsham/priest skillcap it feels pretty boring/1 sided in some situations

though i don’t think rsham really ever even plays regular purge anymore (without complaint) so it’s not like there’s not potential solutions for priest/arcane that benefit both them and everyone else

Because that negates the downside of you needing to stay put, which justifies it being a stronger cd.

I always hated earthen on my shaman though. Pretty frustrating, especially in something like shuffle.

I don’t mind that reasoning, seems valid. I think my personal opinion is that as players are allotted more and more gap openers and closers, healing cooldowns that are extremely small in range need to be adjusted.

Or there needs to be a further reduction on the CD of totem movement to allow for it to be moved 3-4 times during its window, but then that becomes toxic w/static field imo.

For disc priests, idk man, that’d infuriate me

Kinda, but it would probably be a lot worse at the higher end.

I feel like the big thing is purge is too free. Before, purging actively as a healer would severely hurt your mana. You would use it during a big push where your trying to win, but then if you didn’t win you’d be really behind on mana. Now it costs practically nothing allowing you to press it a lot more freely. Especially for dps, if you spam purge on someone you should go oom and it should be a detriment to you in some way.

yea but that’s by design in my mind

we haven’t seen a firm rsham meta yet since df dropped and they acquired more than virtually every other healer in terms of utility

rsham with static, lasso, tstorm, and the amount of damage it does now is really cool for skill expression

rsham with static, lasso, tstorm, and the amount of damage it does in a world with 14 second cd port demo/destro splay where there’s no gaps in the rotation of port, gate, grip, earthen is prot paladin tier boring

really wouldn’t mind earthen functionally working differently for that reason at the higher end
benefits the lower end too because right now it can really be virtually unusable there

yeah real

100p

Guys, earthen wall is fine.

I just want better visual que like Darkness or druid ground AOE heal or even healing rain!

Just a few geodes floating around in a circle like a mushroom circle would suffice. Just something to give DH’s a chance to see it while they tunnel

People SPRINT out of dome from disc, which is like the most obvious graphic possible. I agree a visual update is needed but I think you’re overestimating how much of a difference it’ll make.

Haha, true

Prob the most creative concept I’ve seen. I like it.

Yeah but then I can call people even bigger idiots. Right now I cant because people genuinely cant see it
