Honestly we had the perfect playstyle pre gross nerfs, mixing all the elements, Fun reactive and visually great.
Whoever is working on shaman class design needs there head checked, or maybe play a damn ele shaman. They keep gutting the spec, we go from LB spam to Ltb spam.
These new changes feel messy and out of touch. sure there are a sprinkle of ok ideas but it just seems like we are being nerfed and gutted of any potential fun the spec could have.
The new model is hideous. looks like the old model went on holiday in Waycrest Manor and developed and developed an addiction to drugs.
I think the new LB animation is a down grade. Orange Hydukans…
If they had just applied reasonable nerfs to ele in the first place instead of absolutely gutting the spec we would be fine. Farseer felt good for ST and Storm felt great for aoe. was awesome. Now Farseer is dead and Storm is LTB spam. I don’t think these changes will change that much they will just make the good we do have now feel worse.
Ice fury will still not be taken. but buff to ele blast stats is TINY so we still wont take that. No more CDR so that will feel bad and LB will still hit like a wet noodle but now just slightly under cooked so its a bit harder.
I don’t understand why blizz is ok with mage, lock, hunter, Evoker etc getting such great attention and good work done on the them only to allow the shaman team to absolutely suck at there job.
If these changes go live like this then our already bad Single target is going to be even worse and our Ok AOE might stay Ok. But I think ele will struggle to find a place in any Mythic or PuG raid with such terrible st and have to live in the world of keys.
I think that the Hero talent tree we have access to is ok, Farseer is a bad joke but I cant complain to much as other classes have even more boring options.
The ele re work in my opinion will go down as the worst re work of a spec blizz has ever done. by a huge margin and its sad. You guys started out so strong and just dropped the ball.
