Can we PLEASE get one for Lightning Shield? And Earth Shield, and Water Shield…

Better yet, can we have an option to disable those visuals entirely?

I would not mind updates to the shields, especially Lightning Shield, but I’d also like glyphs to change the colors of them to other elemental colors at some point so we could make Lightning Shield red/orange, Earth shield white/grey etc.
Yes my daughter is always asking why there’s a thing going around me and I’m so tired of repeating myself. I’m a flecking shaman
I want those abilities removed and to be given proper lightning shield like in warcraft 3.
Id remove crash lightning in a heartbeat for a good lightning shield, not the insignificant passive clutter we currently have.
Heck make a talent apply it when you spend maelstrom on chain lightning if you want to save on button bloat.
Elemental shields are cool, what we get in wow sucks.
Funny thing, I believe they were removed in Legion, and brought back in Shadowlands for the sake of “unpruning”.
Which is also why they brought back the eclipse system for Balance Druids even though it was less fun in every aspect than the rotation they had from Legion through BfA…
I wish Blizzard thought in terms of “That would be fun!” instead of “I guess players want this?”
I mean I like them, don’t want them removed. They could do a little more, but realistically I like classes having unique things like that. I like elemental shields and instead of them being removed I actually wish Earth shield would have slightly more impact (maybe give armor) and I wish we had more options for Elemental shields like a Lava shield that puts a lava dot on people that attack you+gives you a small magma absorb shield every x seconds and a Wind/Air Shield that gives you move speed+slows players/mobs (only by a bit) that come within melee range of you. I think that would be a lot more interesting, and since you can put 2 elemental shields on yourself you would have more combinations that you’d want to use in different scenarios.
I dont like people always asking for the removal of things, and I am glad blizzard realized it ended up making some classes lose some stuff that were just general class fantasy things. I’d ask them to actually take it further and incorporate the other 2 missing Elements for shields like the examples I gave above, ideally in the class tree.
I agree, but if all they do with it is “a tiny buff that costs nothing so you have to keep it up at all times which also puts an ugly 2004 spell effect that you can’t remove”, I’d rather they delete the ability until they actually find something to do with it.
I mean they could just update the animations of them of course, I dont think deleting them until they get updated animation wise makes any sense thats just a waste of time. Ideally they get to it soon.
And again since the shields are up basically all the time I don’t mind them being tiny buffs, but I would like them to be slightly more interesting, at least in terms of having more variety of shields to pick from ie like I said before I’d like to get a Lava Shield and Wind Shield in the class tree too with their own unique effects so we have all of the elements used for shields. I like the idea of Wind shield being move speed+small passive slow to nearby enemies. The only shield that has maintenance is Earth shield, the rest you don’t really have to keep up at all you just apply the buff once an hour (unless you die or something but thats normal).
I want to like Ele Shields, I really do. They’re nice class fantasy with small buffs. But they look absolutely terrible.
Side gripe: Earth Shield and Water Shield do not need stacks! They already have internal cooldowns on procs, the stacks are archaic and only exist for the sake of being maintenance buffs
