We lose all these resto shaman abilities for what?

Classes Shaman

Just read through this and I am flat out demoralized. Restoration shaman was going to be my next class to level (or boost, tbh given time constraints).

-Chain lightning our AOE? removed.

-Flame shock our DoT? Removed.

-Lightning Bolt? Removed too lmao…

I’m not even sure what to say anymore. So how exactly is resto shaman contributing to group DPS anymore? Are we now buffing allies DPS? If so, where? Where are we getting our DPS from if all these abilities are removed?

Even holy priest seems to have more DPS options.

They were not removed, but moved to the Class Base Abilities, so all of the three specs will have access to them :slight_smile:
Beware with the WoWHead data mining, the Spec section is complementar to the General section, so you should read both in order to not have this kind os misunderstanding .

yep they said they’re baseline for the whole class.

The resto version of the spells had a higher SP coefficient, so having it move to baseline will be a nerf.

Seems like Tidalmove understands.

For Resto, the mana cost is not an issue with 3 ways to regenerate it (Resurgence, Water Shield and Mana Totem), you just need to keep your heals efficient (aka do not overheal), also every class had their mana cost increased, it’s not only about the shaman.
