Hey.
Give them some breathing room.
They just got the visuals to work again after two years.

Oh yes, absolutelly.

The fact they havent addressed this or mages making 2 water at a time is honestly pretty pathetic and shows how disconnected they are from their own game

LOOOOL this was the biggest surprise for me when I logged in for phase 2 for the time.

Having, or needing, to us a overly large glaring weakaura taking up precious realestate on my screen to remind me. It often feels like i am constantly re-applying imbues. It is very annoying, not fun, and unnecessary.
I will admit, though, it has created some funny moments losing threat because its fallen off.

Heh.
Same. After making a cry thread in the Bug Report forum after 1.14 borked it, I was pretty stoked when logging into Era after the patch and finding it was fixed there as well.

To the thread topic - it’s hard for me to really push for a change now to the duration of our self-imbues as it is just second nature to me since 2019. But you do you, OP. I’m not against it per se but there’s other more pressing matters like getting runes to function properly/as intended that have prio over wish list qol.

ymmv

rockbiter drops by accident

haha only 2 years >.<

spot on.
creatively void and out of touch.

Tbh the 5 minute timer has only been an inconvenience to me now that I have to re-buff two weapons.

Re-pressing Rockbiter/Windfury once every 5 minutes wasn’t’t too bad in era, but twice
? That’s 2x as much pressing.

Paladin buffs are now longer, be honest how hard would it have been to do the same to Shamans. I swear this new Dev team is trash compared to vanilla

Its a very simple change. Something quickly and easily done.

No love for us

TBH, I really do see a heavy need for longer weapon imbues. We need double rockbiter for sham rage regen, but Enhance dps is now going to run WF/FT. You’re gonna weapon swap to rockbiter imbued weapons to snap shot Sham Rage regen.

UNLESS OF COURSE THE IMBUES FALL OFF IN YOUR BAG, AND NOW YOUR MANA REGEN SUCKS.

Yes, needs fixing.

I think there are two possibilities:

  1. they just neglect shaman because none of them play horde and have no personal experience with how annoying it is

  2. they were afraid to change it because the logic used in weapon imbues and what can or can’t overwrite what or which weapon it decides to cast the imbue on is a mess (see how it interacts with cat windfury if you let your imbues fall off). In addition to longer imbues we need imbues to be able to overwrite anything on your weapon already and just alternate between the two without trying to be “smart” so it’s easy to fix/change. Currently you sometimes have to switch your weapon slots or take a weapon off to fix an imbue when something goes wrong.

#showtooltip
/use [@none,nomod]Rockbiter Weapon;[@none,mod]Flametongue Weapon
/use [btn:1]16;[btn:2]17
/click StaticPopup1Button1

This macro is designed to do the following:
When you do not have a mod key (shift, control, or alt) pressed, it will apply Rockbiter Weapon to your Main Hand with Left Click and your Off Hand with Right Click.
When you do have a mod key pressed, it will do the same but with Flametongue Weapon.```

Oh nice, that makes fixing it when something goes wrong a lot less annoying.

Just want to bump this thread. I’ve been leveling an Enhancement Shaman this phase and the weapon imbues only lasting 5 minutes has been driving me crazy. It’s especially worst for DW shamans to rebuff (which of course didn’t exist in Vanilla anyways).

Can we please get this addressed?

Many of the suggestions here would be great, the two I prefer would be:

  1. Weapon Imbues lasting for 30 min instead of 5 mins
  2. The ability to right-click to remove the weapon Imbue Buff

Thank you
