Patch 4.1 - PTR Build 13860
A new build will be deployed on test realms today! This build is a Release Candidate (marked as "Release") and it means that the patch will hit the live servers within the next few weeks. (As I said, last week of April/first week of May is very likely)

    I thought Shamans couldn't be nerfed anymore, and there it is

    ...

    "Aight, now let's buff it again"

    ...

    See where I'm going?

    Wind Shear is next I believe...

    Would be good if Ele and Enha could get something for pvp in return.

    I was looking forward to the selfless healer change... oh well

    Shaman nerf to Grounding and then subsequent glyph and 4 set changes are unjustified. Sure, bads think Shaman are OP in 3's, but for whatever reason that is I doubt it will be because of grounding totem.

    With that few changes this build I'd be surprised if we didn't see this go live next week.

    Soo ehh UH DK and Frost mage are getting buffs, while moonkins and even Ele shammies are getting nerfed.. Have the devs ever set foot in an arena rated above 200?? They must be on crack. So much for the z-level team now running wow. Retards.

    Finally you anti-caster shammies are getting some slaps... maybe I'll be allowed to get a cast in now once in a while.

    The Pen is Mightier now requires the guild to create 2,500 Glyphs, down from 25,000.
    And i was at 10k , damn you casual scribes.

    Shaman healers are simply too viable now, not because they would heal a lot but because of all the other shizz around. Kinda sucks it hurts enha and most importantly ele :<.

    Guild achis needed this I think, they were really insane sometimes.

    I'm a little confused....Glyph of Grounding Totem now increases the cooldown of Grounding Totem by 35 sec, down from 45 sec.....why would we want to increase the cooldown?

    But they buffed the healing. This is a nerf to the other 2 shaman specs. Resto gets better tank heals in change of increased CD on grounding totem, ele and enh just get shafted.

    Because glyphed it also reflects the casts instead of just absorbing them.
