tl;dr make tremor totem baseline
Shaman utility has greatly decreased this expansion. One of the few unique utilities we do have is tremor totem. It’s useful and unique, but not worth an entire talent point. I feel this talent should be removed and made baseline (at least for restoration).
Tremor, cleanse spirit, wind shear, frost shock, hex, grounding- these are not interesting choices and should all be baseline.
Why has so much shaman class fantasy and utility been reverted with this expansion?
