Crash lightning does more damage but the spell animation is dog puke ugly. He like fires a little spark off to one side as opposed to the downward rush of lightning it used to be.
Blizzard seems to be in a hurry to make this class un appealing.
If it were a Palladin spell it would have been a full on sharknado .

Its great, and better shows its actual range now.
I know it’s fun to hate on paladins, but after all the love shaman has received this expansion these sort of comments no longer have a leg to stand on.
Then my enhance shammy is singled out, because in spite of the spell visual nerf, he is only doing moderate damage, so from where I sit , it was an excuse to dumb them down.
Maybe with the right gear in M+ I am wrong, but level 76 in 515 gear , I am barely beating the monsters and Huzzah, I don’t look as cool either.
It isn’t hating on palladins to point out a blatantly obvious bias preference BTW.
Why did they make winddwalker animations so incredibly cool. but shaman gets dud spell animations?
I rarely if ever play shammy but I remember a little while back playing with the hance spells on the test dummy.
I loved the animation and sound of Crash Lighting. Now that you mention it, I do recall on Wowhead a few weeks ago showing the updated version and thinking to myself how awful it is 
You aren’t max level.
Enh shaman has been a top performing spec all expansion
