In the upcoming patch, for the Stormbringer hero talents, they removed Shocking Grasp(critical strikes with nature spells reduces movement speed by 50% for 3 secs), which is a positive thing because most would agree it was probably the worst of the stormbringer hero talents.
They placed it in a choice node between lightning conduit(chance to get hit with a bolt of lightning that increases speed by 50-100% for 5 secs) and electroshock(tempest increases speed by 20% for 5 secs).
So, I think they’re acknowledging that they want to improve Ele and Enhance mobility a bit, and I’m glad for it, I just don’t think this is the way. I don’t like the randomized chance of movement speed from lightning conduit and the 20% speed after a tempest strike doesn’t cut it either. Neither of these talents do anything if you’re already snared., and I’ve also never liked the RnG mobility stuff either.
Why don’t they just improve the talent Thunderous Paws? Increase the movement speed bonus of Thunderous paws. Add an additional 25% speed to it.

I’d love for one of the options in that node to give us some immunity so we can cast freely from time to time.

Isn’t that like Spiritwalker’s Aeghis in the Shaman talent tree?
It is, yes but just like SWG the other node option gives use 20% does boost so I was thinking why not have an option for random immunity like the talent you mentioned.

Yeah, I mean could see something more specific for either cast immunity or cast speed or both. Especially with the Ele stormbringer build, there’s going to be more casting. Why not have an option to be struck with lightning and have improved casting speed/immunity for Ele?
My issue is the random 50% speed just seems so random. I don’t think they will keep it long term. I mean you’ll just be standing in a random area, checking your gear, and all of a sudden you get struck by lighting and 5 secs of increased movement speed. Just comes across as gimmicky and doesn’t address mobility issues.

Yeah its just more rng, but now rng into mobility instead. Wish they would use that talent to improve a solid mechanic like thunderous paws or winds of al-akir. Something more solid and reliable.
I want to like the 50% move speed proc, but like what are the chances that thing actually procs when you need it to? lol.
