I don’t even have the heart to follow Shaman’s progress (or lack thereof) on the beta anymore.
I changed my main to Survival. No regrets on live or in beta. And when I want to heal, going with Evoker, Druid, or Monk.
I played Priest at one point but they pulled the same crap with Shadow a few expansions ago and it was such a mess. Never played Priest again. It’ll be the same with Shaman at this point.
Wish you guys all the luck in the world. 
Ancestral Protection Totem. If nothing else, make it baseline.
Man I just started playing ELE for the first time since CATA been ENH all this time. Yall got it rough. People say ENH way of spreading Flameshock sucks… Bro it’s way worse here.
It’s insane to me that my Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning and EB hit so weakly compared to ENH.
That’s ridiculous, they really need to fix the shaman trees.
Oh wow I never considered Ankh as a cheat death mechanic that would actually be super cool.
Yea its the kind of thing that only gets worse the more you look at it, you can combine all the trees for entire classes and those 4 trees will end up with less 2 point nodes than just the shaman + enh trees. I think you can do that for dk, rogue, lock, monk, pally, and mage would have the same amount, and there could be more. The holy priest tree is even slightly worse having 1 more node than ele/resto and still having 10 2 point nodes.
