Bruv on my SP my baseline spell power is 250. We are literally bottom feeders in ST and you give Ele a flat out 200 sp ? As much spell power as I have tagged to a rune ?
I swear to god, let me work for this circus for free, there is no way you are paying people for this.
Ok but you get +50% damage through talents, how much does an elemental shaman get?
Fair point but I just checked last week’s WCL stats and bottom 2 were SPs and Eles … this is even after the 10% shadowform buff. Can I just be MIDDLE OF THE PACK … that’s all I want. Nerf my dots to the ground if thats what it takes … shift all power over to CASTED spells like mind spike and MB. Let mind spike generate a 20% bonus damage to MB with every stack or something ffs.
This gotta be the worst way to buff a class lol
flat increase/decrease is so damn LAZYYYYYYYYY
200 spell power, good lord 
the shaman favoritism is out of control
It should increase spell damage by 50%-100% of your intellect. But Ele shamans are still a 20yd range caster with no spell pushback LOL.
Thats about what you got from mental dex. This is all a crusade to stop playstyles they dont want you to do
Is it spellpower or spell damage? Cant imagine they want resto to use it
Uhhhh…
But you get shadow form which is actually pretty loaded.
spell damage only
loaded enough to be dead last dps … thanks 
If you don’t understand the roll your class plays and how much power you have in utility and just want to do gazonga damage make a Warrior.
It sounds like I’m being mean but I’m not I really think you would have more fun.
Utility can only matter so much. Unless the fight needs it theres little justification compared to more damage
elemental shamans already one shot people it doesn’t matter
This. We got 200sp from mental dex, so 200 sp had to be moved to the burn rune. Anything less would have been a net nerf.
The whole point was so ele can actually cast at range, not at melee.
Agreed.
They should have made it a scaling effect based on stats.
For example they could make it give spell power equal to 20% intellect (cannot stack) or even give spell power equal to mana regen or spirit to turn “dead” stats into a good stat.
But having it just be a base value is bad design. This is coming from someone who plays the class that is the king of base value… hunter. The lack of scaling hurts in the long run. You start strong, but fall off a cliff as others scale.
Its 30% with mental dex btw. 60% str too.
Considering hunter is the only pure dps class left the answer to this SHOULD be hunter, but blizzard has been making sure it still stays as warriors this entire time.
they also need to nerf spriest healing before they can buff damage, you guys are already pushing healers out of their roles. get together with a bunch of spriests, agree on a ve nerf, tweet at aggrend.
