I really, really, REALLY like the look of Landslide when playing on my shaman and wish it was a competitive option against Forceful Winds. What about making it baseline? Nerf it from 100% increased damage to 50% damage to compensate for it.
What look? It’s just a proc, it doesn’t have any visuals.
It doesn’t really add any gameplay to the spec either. I wouldn’t want it baseline.

It’s not competitive because a singular Stormstrike isn’t where our damage comes from anymore. We usually get them in chains and in that case we tend to not weave a Rockbiter in there. If it was a guaranteed proc, then maybe.

Doesn’t storm bringer already do this though? I realize it is only 25% more damage, but making landslide baseline would essentially just be adding more damage to storm bringer.
Stormbringer refreshes Stormstrike and gives it more damage on weapon hits. The problem is stopping your potential Stormstrike chain for a Rockbiter cast, which COULD increase the damage of your next Stormstrike.
But what if you get another Stormbringer? Do you use another Rockbiter and cap out your maelstrom? What if your autoattacks while you Rockbiter proc Stormbringer again without you spending it? Well, you’ve just wasted that damage and the chance for another Stormbringer. And that’s assuming it even procs at all. It adds another layer of RNG to a class that’s wholly dependent on it. Again, if it was a guaranteed proc it would be a much more valid argument.

Both are passive proc based talents.
There is no reason to bring it forward to baseline as it offers nothing to gameplay.
