*Maelstrom Weapon now has a 25% extra chance to proc when wielding a two-handed weapon.

*Two-Handed Weapon Mastery: Increased the attack power granted by the rune to 20% from 10%.

*Overcharge Rune: Damage decreased by 75% and threat increased by 75%, in addition Lightning Shield now restores 1% of the Shaman’s overall mana ever 3 seconds.

*Dual wield Rune: Reduced melee hit chance to 5% and off-hand damage bonus to 25%.

*Rockbiter Weapon attack power returned to 100%, but requires a shield in the Shaman’s off hand to activate.

*Mental Dexterity Rune: Modified Rune to not utilize attack power from Rockbiter Weapon.

*Flametongue Weapon: Increased Flametongue Weapon Damage by 125% while wielding a two-handed weapon (does not increase lava lash damage).

New Bracer Rune:
Augmented Imbues: Windfury Weapon’s Attack Power is increased by 15% (35% if wielding a two-handed weapon. (at level 60 that would 449ap instead of 333) and Flametongue Weapon increases the length of your Flameshock by 2 seconds when striking a target and increases the fire damage it takes by 8%.

As interesting as your rune suggestion is, if the idea is to help push two handed shaman, I feel it would be better to just incorporate that into Static Shock. Something like doubling the proc rate or damage when using a two handed weapon. Set the precedent for future runes to incorporate wording that alters the numbers or effect depending on whether or not you are using one or two weapons.

That’s a fair idea, as long as it pushed two-handed I would be happy.

It’s been like what, 17 years? Hope you haven’t been holding your breath or are at least undead.

The craziest part of this post is that some parts of the world still insist on putting the date in MM/DD/YY.

Working in enough databases I prefer YYYY-MM-DD myself.

I see you are a man of culture.

This is actually a great idea because static shock is kinda meh for PvP since it’s more reliant on uptime and hitting someone which currently lasts 2 seconds anyways and in pve is easily tunable to add damage but not wildly increase your snap threat.

If it bothers you so much don’t read it. What do you care if it has a date or not. I thin it bothers you that you exist.

2h Mastery needs hit rating to put it anywhere near DW Spec. 10% Hit rating on the DW rune is so broken OP ridiculous, ESPECIALLY below cap.

I know they just transposed Wrath Enh to Classic because they lack resources the to make SoD the Classic+ so many people want, but I hope they at least understand how it has broken Enhancement. I hope they can see that an Enh who occasionally one shots a mage without frost armor with a big triple crit Windfury is healthier for the game than a DW Enh benefitting from double WF, double weapon enchants (wait until 60 with 2x Crusader Enchants), and 3 non normalized sources of melee damage (StS, LvL, WFW procs).

:joy:… okay brother.

You made the exact same post in another thread, why do you spam?

Why do you care?

It’s ok I’m just gonna flag for spamming.

Hey if that makes you feel good, it’s the small pleasures that bring us joy in life.

I know at the end of today you’ll sit back and think… Yeah, I did the world of service today “sips juice box”.

:wheelchair: Paladin:

*Art of War has been changed to where critical melee strikes also give the paladin the ability to instant cast Holy Wrath. Holy wrath retains its normal cooldown depending on wrist rune selection.

*Divine Storm weapon damage increased from 110% to 150%, Divine Storm now deals Holy Damage but is still a Physical ability.

*Seal of Command has been buffed from 70% weapon damage to 100% weapon damage.

*Crusader Strike’s Cooldown has been changed from 6 seconds to 4 seconds.

*Light’s Grace has been changed and no longer reduces the cast time of your next holy light. Instead, Light’s Grace has been reworked to allow Holy Light to deal splash healing to targets within the players party. Holy Light’s cast time has been increased by .5 seconds.

*Rebuke has been removed from the Rune list and will now be a spellbook.

Light be with you Brother Paladin…

Don’t tell anyone my first main 20 years ago was Ret Paladin :eyes:.

Also thank you for understanding the spirit of this post… it’s supposed to be fun. We all are passionate about our characters and what we want them to do, it’s just nice I write it out… even if it’s a pipe dream.
