just feels miserable… Class focused on overloads, and we tickle with them.
buffs aren’t good enough.
still behind every other caster in pvp. nice.

Thats because the changes were an overall nerf. I explain the nerf in the post Math is Hard if you care to find it. For Lightning Bolts it was a huge nerf because every overload after the 1st overload makes the nerf worse.
Depending on Talents you can have 4 possible overloads for a Lightning Bolt and 5 for a Stormkeeper Lightning Bolt. Every overload after the 1st is a big nerf and the cherry on the top is if you are running Lightning Rod its an even bigger nerf.

for lava burst specifically, there is not much change and it doesnt feel like a 20% buff…
idk whats going on, but they need to figure it out. we need anotehr 20-30% buff on lava burst, lightning bolt and 50% on earth shock at this rate.

The fix is to put PW back to what it was.

yeah they literally could have just nerfed or lava burst damage by 10% and we would have been fine, but here we are…
gonna be a miserable season unless we get more buffs.
I think we will get more buffs when RWF is over and the pve changes come through though. Ele isnt doing well there either.

Ok, take this with a grain of salt, but i just did the Gallywix raid fight on story mode, and my shaman is only like 618ish? My dps was averaging around 320k. I was popping everything! I did change to Farseer for pvp, but is it THAT bad?!
My point is the dmg felt really underwhelming

Yes for a couple reasons. Most recently because of the changes this week that were only PvP changes. They buffed the damage of our initial spells while nerfing overloads hard. The end result is a net loss in damage.

Yeah you were right it feels odd, I guess it came out to a nerf. I didn’t see your math explanation yet but I’ll look for it. What’s odd is ret buffs quite literally didn’t change anything for them either, like they do slightly more damage but they still tickle. Seems suspicious but maybe wasn’t as good as it looked idk.
However, if prim wave got reverted I’m not even sure that’s all we’d need. Don’t forget earth shock technically got a big nerf when we lost our tier set and I really don’t think this tier set makes up for it, at least not the 2 set even with the mini elemental talent and elemental unity. It does pretty small damage now, and they also nerfed earth shock when we had our previous tier set and that nerf was never reverted or changed when we lost it.

I don’t think it’s the changes that you guys are feeling.
We have some kind of 25% aura nerf in all instanced content that got introduced with the patch. It’s active in raids, mythic plus, delves, and I would imagine PVP too, from what you guys are saying. There is a bug report, but not many people have posted on it. So not sure Blizz even knows yet.
