Holding two charges for the right moment means you would lose potential usages over the course of a fight.
You put tons of quality of life into the other hero talent that flameshaper just feels bad to use
When would you just use one of you have two ready?
Well yeah but do what they normally do where it works retroactively with talents by making it dual type or whatever. You know what I mean
One thing I like in WoW is when spells have synergies. The best example of this is Elemental shaman, where for instance if flame shock is active, your lava burst crit, or if you cast earth shock it boost the damage of the next spell. Elemental is full of those synergies and itās the reason why I love it so much.
Devastation has a few synergies too, but what they did with Flameshaper is pushing this further and I find it great
Engulf does more damage for each of your dots on the enemy
Engulf increase the duration of FireBreath
Engulf reduces the cast time of your next spell
Engulf consume a part of FB to AoE your targets
and we already had other talents that fits super well with Ember(red spell)
Iridescence, casting FB will increase damage of your next 2 red spells
Scorching ember, FB dot increase damage of red spells
So Iām really excited to play Devastation again
The renewing blaze share nerf is a major let down. It was the #1 thing i was looking forward to for Flameshaper. It would be kind of crazy on tanks but cutting it in half is a little much before weāve even gotten to play with it on live.
80% effectiveness would be a better start imo. That or reducing duration of it instead. Or if you want to be really spicy, make it 30% and apply to the whole group.
It doesnāt help avoid one shots, and since Aug canāt get this itās the ONLY big utility Pres and Dev can bring over Aug. And Aug is brought for their OP group survivability increase. If this somehow enabled non-augs to compete in that category itād be healthy imo

I have the feeling since Aug is the support spec, they will eventually cook in that talent in the aug tree, but like in the expansion after TWW
A poll would result in āfire McFlame Faceā

Flameshaper looks fun, definitely feels like it has a ton of oomph behind Engulf, compared to some other hero trees that are more passive or have a less powerful active.
