Weird things with ELE shaman

Im trying to play stormbringer ele shaman in PVP and i’ve observed a couple of things that seems wrong… Firstly, especially in 2s, the setup time to consume 300 maelstrom to get the tempest burst is quite difficult, maybe reduce the cap at 200 in PVP, or introduce a way to get tempest on ascendance or something. Also, the Arc Discharge talent seem bugged, I only get 1 free lightning bolt. Anyone has this problem? Finally, I’ve been try to make use of healing stream totem in both PVP and PVE but the healing feels very lackluster, to the point where Im actually considering it useless. What are your opinion?

Are you using aftershock talent for free earth shocks? (25% chance to refund maelstrom) so you get quick build up to tempest. Plus we can get tempest from casting lightning bolt (hero tree capstone talent)

The tooltip is an error, you only get one free lightning bolt not 2.

Healing totem sucks in PvP. Focus on dmg reducing talents instead and earth shield. With 2pc we get pretty good uptime on pets so that’s 5% reduction right there. Plus cooldown from new Ele PvP spells lowers all our totems and defensives which is uber nice.

This needs some serious buffs before it could be considered a decent compensation for losing ancestral guidance. It also needs to prioritize the shaman before anyone else.

It should be a choice node:
-Focus all healing on the shaman
-heal the lowest health party of raid member.

That way in PvP it’s worth a lot more especially with cooldown reduction would be awesome.
