People aren’t mad over changes that were made, people are mad that there’s been a total lack of changes. I played resto but from what ive seen about enh/ele is that the “hero” talents seem to always favor one build over another, don’t interact with talents in the spec/class trees and overall just don’t seem to do any of the things “hero” talents were supposed to like flesh out character fantasy, and provide a choice between the trees.
You come here asking questions and then condescend about people “throwing a tantrum”?
Bro, read the posts and drop the attitude if you want answers.

Well he asked if the changes for ele are gd or bad while there werent any changes so he wont get any anwsers anyway
it was a joke lol
Jokes are usually funny.
If you are doing this out of boredom why would you care about the tier list of ele shaman ?
incase i want to play it my friend says its fun but idk
That hurts to read. Because I know it’s true.
We haven’t had any major class changes, besides nerfs, since 10.0.
Our hero talents pigeon hole us even farther down either the left or right side of the tree. Farseer is just fire build+, which is spamming lava burst as much as possible, and good luck in any aoe situations.
Stormbringer is supposed to be lightning mastery, but don’t forget your icefury for electrified shocks off of frost shock, flameshock so your lava burst crits, and can give 20% bonus damage for the frost shocks. Oh and dont forget to cast lightning bolt sometimes, too. Also, the new spell, Tempest, is a hard 2 second cast that can’t be reduced, and does less damage than a lightning bolt in single target.
You could read around this forum there are like 5 different threads complaining
Pardon my potential ignorance, but I was under the impression from what I’ve seen via youtube that Tempest was incorrectly not benefitting from Haste. Is it in fact “working as intended” (ha ha old meme) and not reducing cast time with Haste?
good thing we have in-depth blue posts explaining the philosophy behind these hero talents from weeks ago in alpha that could answer that question
oh wait
In a perfect world.
We have no idea. Tempest has been like this since it was introduced in Alpha and we’ve had 0 communication on it.
It’s either a bug they are taking a really long time to fix, or it’s intended design and someone at Blizzard is huffing paint.

Ive been reading beta feedback and it would seem all 3 specs are suffering from bugs or things thay are nyi. Also with 0 feedback from blues it is hard to tell what is and isnt performing the way it should.
