Heyo! 1st off i gotta say to Omanley on his post for enhancement utilizing spears. great idea dude! Very inventive.
---backstory---
I've been watching my roommate play some pre-made 85s on beta, and i have got to say... I am LOVING the way s-priests use mind-spike and how moonkins use lunar shower. I split my time between 3 classes, those being, druid(moonkin, bear); shaman(enhance, ele); priest(all 3). After geeking out to the sheer numbers from fulmination I started thinking... "hey! where is the shams mobile spam attack?" moonkins and spriests were beautifully fixed in terms of mobility. So here is my idea, hopefully this will be read by a dev. still have 2 months! *fingers crossed*
---idea---
--Mudslide! You shock your target with earth and water causing XXXX dmg.
this will have no CD and do about 1/2 of earth shocks damage. Plus it would be a frost/nature damage similar to how mindspike and frostfire bolt works. Possibly make it high threat to encourage it's use on a situational basis?
--use for enhancement--
this would be a great way to help us out when we are on our way to the boss, moving between adds, or chasing a player in pvp. IMO, this will be a good compliment to out melee abilities and further capitalize on the battlemage class that an enhancement shaman is. Also.... this would be the perfect "mark" for enhancement shamans! There might need to be some sort of debuff associated with the spell, but it could be used as a mark for your searing totem/fire ele. Either that or blizz can give us a pet bar for those abilities. (I hear that's been fought for since BC)
--use for elemental--
add a deep talent to work off this spell. like: each time u cast mudslide it's damage is increased by 45% and mana cost is reduced by 30%. stacks up to 3 times, lasts for 3 seconds. can only stack when u are moving. (this is a straight copy from the moonkin's lunar shower. pretty sure the numbers on this would need to be changed. like damage increased by 20% instead of 45% per stack?)
this would greatly help elemental when they have to move out of the fire / follow a boss / whatever requires movement since all main abilities require the ele to be static. Not only that but it would make them shine for those occasional needs of range tanking. With the rock-bitter imbue + this spell + frost shock they could easily take care of fights like keleseth in the blood prince council. I could also see some fun use of this in 5mans: shaman spams mudslide on a heavy hitting melee mob (to help mitigate damage on the tank), mob chases shaman, he kites and controls the mob by pushing it back with thunderstorm, slowing/rooting it with earthbind, slowing/adding threat with frost shock, etc.
this spell could be just what a shaman needs to gain that extra situational mobility... and it just sounds plain cool! Hurling a giant wave of mud at your enemies? Yes please!
Also, the following idea isn't my own, but i certainly like it and want it.---Make Static Shock a 100% proc, tied to storm strike. Not only does it make it a real "storm" strike, i imagine there would be some tough work around since stormstrike already applies a debuff. You can do it blizz! It also takes away some RNG, which we have way to much of anyways.
