In the 10.2.5 patch, the Shaman spell Earth Shock has had its animation bugged and removed, instead of keeping the unique cast animation it had before the patch in which the shaman would raise a hand up to the sky (the same animation earthquake uses) and the enemy would be crushed by rocks, it now uses the same generic spell cast animation most other spells use.
It is now patch 10.2.6 and this bug has still not been fixed.
Please Blizzard, I urge you to fix this as soon as possible.

It is now Dragonflight Season 4 and this bug has still not been fixed.
I have also noticed that the Glyph of Primordial Wave added in the 10.2.6 patch is also missing some spell effects, and that is the swirl of shadow energy that would spin around the player after casting the spell.
Please, those two issues need to be looked at.

It is now pre-patch version 11.0 and the Glyph of Primordial Wave bug has been fixed but the Earth Shock animation is still missing, and to add into this the Healing Wave animation is now also bugged and is missing the water swirls that travel from the shaman to the target they’re healing.

Bump - this still has not been fixed and it bothers me. All of my Shaman’s casts look the same now, the hand to the sky animation felt powerful and stopped it from looking repetitive.
