Hello Shaman community,
Made my own thread.
Today I'm here to talk about our favorite AOE spell, Earthquake.
At the moment it feels really clunky and inconsistent to stop what you're doing, use the targeting reticle, and then finally placing the earthquake.
It stops us dead in our tracks and makes it less enjoyable (for me at least) to AOE effective and efficiently. Not to mention wasting all the GCDs to do this as well as setting down LMT...
The Maelstorm gain is very spiky with our current "AOE" spec and I have some ideas to change Earthquake for the better.
They should make EQ into a CD or a toggle buff like a combination of Stormkeeper and Enhancement's Fury of Air talent.
The buff will gradually drain MP similar to Fury of Air.
(Example) "Your chain lightning overloads have a chance to cause an earthquake at the ground of the enemy dealing x amount of damage and knocking down enemies blah blah blah costs 25 MP per second" (Example)
This way we can provide a more constant flow of DPS without having to stop, look where to put EQ, and pick it back up wasting GCD time.
I really, really, really wish they would do this. Please let me know if you think this change would help or if I'm just a big goofball?
