Earth Nova

[Baabinator]

Shattering Quake: 15 sec cooldown

Causes your Earth Totem to emit a shockwave in a 10 yard radius. Stunning all enemy targets for 2 seconds and reducing all friendly party- and raidmember's damage taken by 3% for 30 seconds within 50 yards. (Does not stack with Renewed Hope - http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=57472, or vigilance, or BoSanc)

Y'know, Fire nova also has pve uses. Just an aoe stun totem is useless for pve.

And this all shamans just some additional pve uses.

Not all moves were made for pvp purposes and same goes for pve wise.

Though one could wonder if they are trying to make moves useful in both pvp and Pve, fuck remove the range limit on the moves make one for air totem and we might finally have a use for sentry totem :O

I agree with your PvP and PvE effects but in order to combat this surely just giving Stoneclaw Totem a greater PvP effect would be the answer rather than greating a new totem. What if the stun effect off Stoneclaw worked for all of your totems when dropped? This in turn would make the decision of the Shaman or his totems an even more difficult one in PvP. You could possibly extend the effect to the Shaman himself although some sort of internal cooldown would be required so people don't get stunlocked from attacking you.

To OP, thats one of the first surgestions that i've read that I think is very good.
Agreed, post this on the offical forums and give url if europe

If Blizz is even *considering* giving us an earthquake-type ability, what better time to deploy it, than an expansion entitled "Cataclysm?"

I could potentially see Blizz adding some more spells to earth elems and fire elems. As it is now, earth elems are mostly useless, aside from the occasional butt-saving when fighting trash mobs, or on that rare boss fight like the ZA Eagle boss that does nothing but nature damage.

I'll call your fire spells, and raise you a Holy Nova.

I said 'almost' and would like to add that light and fire are pretty much the same thing. The sun is nothing but a giant ball of core-fusion powered fire (and so are the stars since the sun is a star as well, and a tiny one to boot). And guess what Holyness is based upon? That's right, light and fire. To unveil the darkness and purge the infidels.

I rest my cheese.

Okay, so my logic can't beat stuff like Rat Nova. But it also falls flat against pretty much everything in WoW, considering it's a fantasy game.

[SuperScrotum]

Shaman uses lightning bolt!

Warrior is confused!

Warrior uses heroic strike!

It's a one-hit ko!

Shaman has fainted!

Player has lost all his pokemon characters! Player has blacked out!

Would you like to send out another character?

Rogue, I choose you!


Not even earthquake can help you there.

I've been wondering why we didn't get a storm revanant pet at 80. But I've also been wondering why they gave a class that cannot be slowed or polymorphed an ability like cyclone when they already had a spamable ranged root ability.

What're you talking about? This game makes absolutely perfect sense. He have cows that plant funny heads into the ground and then summon ghost wolves.

And I was just sayin'...

Fine concept but a 30 sec CD on a 2 sec stun while the target also has to be within 10 yards of the totem (and not within 10 yards of YOU) is a bit long. A 15-20 sec CD would fit better or just leave it on a 30 sec CD with a 3-4 sec stun.

[Rifee]

Give: Earthquake.

Channeled
25yard range

1200 mana
25sec cd

On the area targeted you channel a earthquake slowing movement of any creature or player inside the area by 50% (don't know what would be most balanced) , causing B amounts dmg every 2 seconds. If the targets stays inside for the full duration, the ground will collapse on itself and instantly cause B x 2 dmg. Lasts 6 seconds.
If used o the area where your elementals stand it will heal them for 70% of the their health over the duration.

[Kumcio]

if this stun aoe was coming out of shaman, it would be okay.

Or maybe totem throwing at last? :P

[DarkCloud606]

Totem toss should totally just stick the totem to your target's back; Just like how snobolds do in ToC. Blizzard likes to balance around working as a team right? Just BAM! with a magma totem on the melee and fire nova the shite out of them! And every now and then the totem can yell, "You no take shaman!"

to OP: put this up on the official forums mate i honestly think you're on to something.

[Ruargh]

yup, I aprove the new active-spell-on-totem idea. It doesn't make us any more mobile, but it's an interesting new mechanic. seen some pretty decent ideas roll by for every totem type already.

Maybe even go as far as making our existing spells do something different from there usual effect if cast on a totem.
Like 'whenever you cast a riptide on a water totem your party members will gain XX hp every 5 seconds'

[Eyetotem]

I have not seen anywhere in the patch notes where they said that they are taking away the Stun Portion of Imp Fire Nova.

I may be wrong but I am reading it as

Eyetotem casts Magma Totem
Eyetotem imbues Magma Totem with Fire Nova


Trash mobs are stunned and die like crazy.

Ok first of all they gave the full description of the talent in the patch notes cause the talent has "Changed" and we have already seen that in the PTR stun is removed
