Can we please just get anything on these? Even if it’s just early concepts with the first and last nodes and a bunch of half baked or placeholder ideas.
Let the sham community give feedback on direction. Enhance community leaders in particular are great at giving feedback/suggestions and generally have a good feel on what will play out well. It’s worth giving them access to whatever is in the pipeline.
Even pulling in people like Wordup under NDA and saying hey we are pulling in members of the community under NDA for feedback but aren’t ready to release anything to the public would be a massive step in the right direction.

It’s getting pretty bad at this point. When they finally talk about them if there is not a full massive shaman rework everyone is going to be disappointed. It’s almost comical at this point. It feels like shaman are just being removed from tww.

Yeah, with the latest alpha build shaman is the only class that still has only 1 hero spec available for testing. What are they even doing?

Another alpha build, another build with zero notes for Shaman.
But mages got more changes! Yay…

I just hope shaman get a complete rework like mage got. Only aceptable reason for the lateness

I honestly don’t want a complete rework. I just want some QoL and streamlining like monks are getting.
Removing our target caps and increasing our defenses would go a long way.

Yeah I dont mean a full on reowork. But adding new path and stuff. similar to monk or Fire mage
Don’t feel bad. Hunters have received zero, and the Survival Hunter Hero talents are laughable at best. Of course, I play Hunter and Shaman.
Personally I think perhaps why it’s taking so long to be on the Alpha is I think major changes are happening across both Class and Spec trees, it’s really the only logical reasoning why it’s taking very long.
I just wish they could at least at a minimum give a sneak preview on Stormbringer and Totemic, something….

Monk took a long time in DF and it wasn’t great lol. We were nearly dead last to be shown anything in alpha …
Edit: but I do have hope that this is the reason. I sort of hope it’s nots a total rework because I think there’s potential with what we have, but it just needs streamlining …
Well they just essentially gutted Demonology too 
, Shaman is my last hope, my baby needs to shine.
I don’t warlock… what did the changes do that “gutted” it?
Genuinely curious.
Back to shadow bolt spam, convoluted spec talent tree where essentially you may now run without even using Tyrant or essentially any major cd, it needs a lot of work.
For some reason they didn’t like Demonic Core procs for Demo 
, they removed Netherportal completely, which I’m not too against. But it has way…way to many talent nodes, not enough points.
They really sort of flipped how Demo actually plays 180.

Ah, my condolences. I know how much a single spec in a class can mean to some of us. I only play Enhancement, Brewmaster and Blood with any regularity.

I play Shaman/Warlock Religiously, Affliction is finally looking decent so he has a home, but Shaman is very still open ended, Resto I can tolerate Farseer but Ele I despise lava burst spam and Enhance do not like Elementalist Build, this is why I’m so eager and dying to see the Stormbringer tree.
And with all classes essentially getting talents pruned, reworked and shuffled in TWW, I’m more eager to see changes.

If major changes are happening that would make sense as to why they haven’t released the trees. Its possible the hero talents for enhance make absolutely no sense without knowing the new trees as well.

That’s what I’m thinking, like when Shaman they reveal the final Hero Specs they gonna dump everything on us at once, well hopefully.

The implication there is that the fire build for elemental is changing very little which is why they showed Farseer. Which isn’t really a positive considering how boring the fire build is.
My only guess for the lightning build is that like arcane it was a very static rotation and maybe they want to change it up to be less static.

I truly hope enhance doesnt see rework level changes. The spec is phenomenal as it stands it only needs a little polish and touch up as time goes by. The class tree does need a lot of work tho
