My question is why punish the ele shamans who were willing to melee weave, instead of just buffing burn to actually be competitive and worth using? It seems like any time shamans have fun you guys go “well we can’t have that” and then remove the fun.

You’ve spelled out exactly why it should not exist and went ahead and reintroduced it. This is no experiment because it has already been in the game before. This is the definition of dog crap tier development. Why not try to develop some sort of seal twisting play-style that does not require third party addons?

Oh no, you have to install a swing timer weakaura, how awful.
Really embarrassing blizzard nerfing ele shaman while admitting the buff to Burn won’t be enough. Heres an idea: give Ele a Boot rune, they literally don’t have one. That’d be a nice buff.
Here’s a suggestion for an easy Boot rune:
Increases the range of your shocks to 30 yards. Gives your Earth Shock and Frost Shock the ability to Overload. Increases the damage of your shocks by 10%.

It hurts resto as well, since MD was pretty popular, so I don’t understand this change at all.
If the players aren’t using their intended runes, then maybe seriously buff the things they’re supposed to be using?
Some common sense maybe?

Unpopular opinion but I like how in SoD specs can mix and match runes to have rotations that don’t exist in other versions, like Enhance shamans with Lava Burst.
It is undeniably clunky to have resto and ele shamans stop casting to smack the boss every ten seconds, but it was unique.

What a joke. Can’t report blizz for trolling. Half the classes missing fixes. What was given wasn’t even asked for in most cases. Buffing shaman more, buffing spriest more making them even worse to deal with in pvp.
It’s past time to replace the SoD team. they really have no clue wtf they are doing.

enhance isnt using lava burst, but i see what your saying
And feral druids get ignored? You buff shaman, the class at the top of the charts but you cant buff feral druids? Cmon throw us a damn bone.

2handed enhance does (rip 2handed enhance, if only it got half the attention from Aggrend that all the paladins crying in their discord about seal twisting got)

finally ret pals can be quiet and we can make real specs (holy/prot) better
Agreed, I like the uniqueness of it too.
I just don’t know why they keep going down the route of nerfing things that aren’t even that good, instead of buffing the things that should be more competitive alternatives.
Really, really dumb game design.

if you guys are going to make changes like this, please also increase the armor values tenfold so the melee players get punished too <3
