In Cataclysm, Stormstrike and Lava Lash will have a 5 yard range. Also 'Improved Stormstrike' will have it's effect changed to reducing the cooldown by 1/2 seconds and increasing the amount of nature charges by 1/2. Stormstrike is awesome nonetheless.

You didn't read the Cataclysm tree info when it was up?

I just checked and it clearly reads

Improved Stormstrike (2 ranks available) - Requires 1 point in Stormstrike - When you Stormstrike, you have a 50/100% chance to immediately gain 35% of your base mana.

and holy shit@mana cost

>Ignoring the fact that mana pools will be incredibly larger in cata, and there are countless replineshment effects.

[Oturanboa]

Also: New tooltip doesnt say anything about charges. Yay?

What about that saying "we may add lava burst into maelstrom weapons". I guess it's not to be.

Well they are taking the int off of the hunter/enhance gear so it will work just like rets mana pool.

Works fine when plain dpsing but when you starting throwing a few heals you go oom.

yeah and for the record i did read the alpha talent tree when it was up and that wasn't on it. The talent Myrsky is talking about is what "Improved SS" used to be before it gave us any mana and it only had 2 charges...

@KeoDK they said they were cutting down on regen effects in Cata not increasing them. Though the mana they're show us now may just be a % of what our total mana pool will be it could very well be an oversight. Also Blizzard never said they were greatly increasing mana pools, they said they were increasing health pools. Of course mana pools will get bigger as we level but by how much we don't know. I think Enhshaman is very justified in his response @ the mana cost considering the amount of information they've given us

@Banzubie we already have this talent in WotLK so i don't see why you're so surprised about it. 35% of our base mana pool isn't alot, just enough to keep us going until the next SR in 5m dungeons and most raiding shamans could never spare the talent points to get it anyway...

Yeah well still see some nonsense talents in enha tree for cata. GW should be instant without talenting.

But havent seen any mention about Lava Burst beign added to MW. Imo its crucial already to have it.

Explain. We have a whopping +6% damage on that spell from talents. Because of it's naturally short cast time it has a small spellpower coefficient. It will only deal more damage than lightning bolt until you get a reasonable amount of crit on your gear (or mastery given what our 3rd mastery bonus is).

Our mana pool won't
