Shaman t12 set bonuses ineffective with current state of game

I’ve read things about the 2p-Tier12 Elemental-Shaman-Set being pretty much overhauled because of the implementation of cooldown-reset after Raid-encounters. There is some info about how it worked in OG-Cata and was nerfed in Dragon Soul-Raid because it being too strong in its OG-state.

Now with the reset-mechanic of Fire-Ele-Totem today it’s quite the opposite. Many Ele-players are pointing that out. Meaning that 2p-Bonus is literally obsolete and the 4p is “just” a QoL thing making Lava Burst an instant cast (if Lava Surge proccs). But this won’t be that useful because Ele will be GCD-capped on Lava Burst anyways. A reassessment of how this was supposed to function post-nerf should be done and addressed. Right now, shamans are looking at not even using their set pieces.

I started a thread on the ptr.

2p bonus

Lava burst increases the duration of fire elemental totem by 2 seconds

4p bonus lava burst can now be casted while moving and lava surge reset chance is increased by an additional 10%.

There, fixed it.

They just need to give us the original 2pc bonus.

It isn’t like fire ele can be controlled anyway and still does so resetting it will just mean it can cover up for it’s horrible AI.

Go look At sims… t12 full heroic bis is a freaking dps loss over t11 4pc.
