We don't.
Base SS,LL and Nova have 1 charge that has the exact same recharge time as before.
Echo adds an other charge. Recharge time isn't affected in any way but effects that refresh an ability (Improved FS) will grant 1 full charge which means that you can use that spell right away but the recharge of the 2nd charge isn't lost (if LL had 5 sec left on its CD, it still has 5 sec left).
With the discussion of the SET buff and being a viable single target talent, did they not also remove SET from the PE text so it doesn't benefit from the 80% increase?
EDIT: The text now reads: "Your Earth and Fire Elemental Totems draw forth primal elementals 80% more powerful than regular elementals, with additional abilities, and acting directly under your control. Also grants additional abilities and control to your Storm Elemental Totem."
Is this an actual nerf to SET + PE? SET is only better comparatively when used w/o PE.

Will this charge system be a nerf? If haste is no longer improving our cool down because of the charge system... that would make haste less useful... right?

Yeah I'd agree with that. It's a bit of a stretch i would have thought to fundamentally change a talent like this in a patch. It also really depends on when we expect to see it go live.
It needs to interact with haste. I expect it to work similar to the rune recharge system.
Has anyone reported the bug?
Not sure how many Enh shaman are on Mythic PTR testing guilds (which always has been my opinion the only place they actively take note of issues)
My fellow shaman brethren those that have asked for a resource can now marvel at blizzard for coming up with this brand new "recharge" system. Echo will become baseline to all specialization. We no longer have to wait until till the next expansion to be redesign, it is happening now.
Okay, i have to ask now. I don't understand the talent. The only similar spell i know is the "roll" skill of monks and i just checked it: The cooldown of my 2nd charge recharges only after my first cd was ready again.
I tested it like this: Use roll the first time and wait 10 seconds. Use the 2nd roll charge. 10 seconds later my first charge was up again and it showed me 20 seconds for my 2nd charge. So it obviously didn't has a own cooldown.
Is the new EotE the same? If yes, wouldn't it be a nerf, because we have nothing else to reset our fire nova and stormstrike (except Ascendance)?
Newest sim is out, enh is at the very bottom(25th+) of every single target sim (665, 695), not even top 4 in any AOE sims(4 targets sustained, 8 adds every 45).
Are we done?
Overall. It could be a nerf on lucky streaks. However. Look at the new usage. Instead of trying to get lucky for a double nova. We can now double tap it straight off the bat. This will come in handy for Darmac where those adds will be nuked in the space of 2-3 novas. We can get 2 quick novas in to pad our numbers and be on our way. It's taking the rng out of it and making it a predictable system.
