You just gotta adapt
Waddling around as Stormbringer is frustrating. I think I need 4 set before it becomes viable. So, I’m playing lava lash until then and it seems okay.
Stormbringer does not feel good at all. Fishing for a voltaic blaze or building up a tempest just feels slow. Totemic still feels good, yeah the Primal Storm and windfury nerf is a bummer but you still can still hit at target for over 50% if they don’t react. I was even able to kill a ww and sub in an opener last night because they didn’t react, sucks for them. I’m most likely gonna continue to play totemic.
Side note, not sure if yall are doing this now but macro lava lash and surging totem together. Keep your totem bind to drop totem but this way every time you lash your totem will then move to your player at the same time. Makes managing the damn thing so much easier!
I think the fact they nerfed enhancements damage overall was really bad. I dont think enhance damage itself was OP, it was just the way enhance did that damage that was a bit too much if enhance could stick on its target/targets. One shots are always bad for the game, the only reason it was semi okay for enhance is because it has awful mobility and gets kited easily, but I still agree with shifting the damage to more sustain.
They said they wanted to reduce enhancements burst and increase its sustain, but they didnt actually do that. They nerfed the build we were playing and did not shift damage into sustain for that build. So we are just doing less damage regardless of what we do than we were prior to this tuning. The buffs Stormbringer got should have happened regardless because it was underperforming compared to Totemic previously.
Now though, enh is doing less damage than before, but both builds are seemingly close to each other balance wise. That doesn’t feel great though because instead of Stormbringer being as good as Totemic was before, Totemic is now worse than before and Stormbringer is as good as Totemic, meaning we just lost out.
They need to revisit the tuning again and actually increase Totemics sustain too. Buffs to Lava Lash and then something else maybe Legacy of the Frost Witch or Frost Shock in general, or Surging Totem would be helpful.
Stormbringer in pvp just feels bad imo, its extremely spammy for the same result as Totemic mostly, but performs worse into classes/specs with more physical defense/armor. Get shut down on asc and now wait for 2 mins before you really do anything. Voltaic blaze proc chance is still iffy in pvp, can use 4-5 spenders in a row and get no procs which feels awful. Totemic feels far better because it has damage more often and feels far more fluid, less spammy, has more ways to spread and cleave flame shock and has a higher skill cap. It needs to be doing the damage it did before though.

doing less damage than before, stormbringer can keep up with current totemic, but neither build is doing as much damage as we did prior which is ridiculous. enh did not need to get nerfed damage wise, it needed to do more sustain and less burst, but right now we are just doing less damage than we did before no matter what we do. really sad.
