No raiding balance druid will skip spirit in their gear, doing so will give them zero sustainability in a raid.No. We can't raid without spirit, period. They have to either, make spirit more useful to us, intensity more accessible, or buff dreamstate (and all similar talents for other classes).Wrong. Balance druids go oom without spirit in a raid enviroment. Try sustaining your mana in a raid as an ele shaman with under 10% crit and no water shield.
I don't know, am I? can you re-read my post? I'm merely explaining why people are suggesting a change like that, aswell as giving another option that will serve a similar purpose.Whoa, I lol'd.
I'm pretty sure you are a troll, nobody is this stupid, but I'll bite.
Elemental shamans don't have to go 20 or 28 points into the other trees to get useful talents, Ancestral knowledge, improved shields and enhancing totems are all pretty useful for a PvE elemental shaman, yet, they are optional.
They don't have to go out of their own tree to be able to sustain their mana. Water shield is baseline, Elemental focus is in the elemental tree.
I'll try to explain this to you in a way you would understand, since you are a clueless shaman trolling these forums out of ignorance.
Imagine you lose Elemental focus, now your crit stops giving you dps and mana sustainability, you start going oom every fight, so you point this out to the developers. They add a 3 point talent in tier 3 resto to address this issue, let's say this talent makes you scale with a stat that wouldn't do anything for you otherwise. Now imagine 80% of your raiding gear will have some of this stat, because it asumes you'll be getting this talent for raiding, because you go oom without it.
Now, does this give you more or less spec options?
