Earthquakeis back!

[Griffon]

Can anyone try the new beta patch and say if it has a new effect?

[Futhark]

Who the hell invited it back? Not me!

[Roamingstorm]

Just got on and wanted to see if any new spell animation was added, and there isn't. Plus it doesn't seem anything at all changed with the ability....<Shrug>

[Deleted]

It's the same old annoying spell, just higher numbers, no new animation or effects.

I wish they pruned it, but no, that clunky outdated thing has to stay because a 2 button aoe rotation is apparently more interesting than a 1 button aoe rotation.

(I really hate it with passion, sorry)

Also it makes us go oom atm because it costs 70% base mana, they probably forgot to adjust that.

The concept of a Shaman summoning an Earthquake is cool.

The design of the spell and how disfunctional and weak it is compared to CL is why I don't care for its return.

[Northy]

They need to grow a pair and chop this god awful spell.

They are hoping that the perk keeps Eq revelant. But i still see it going away or being that spell no one uses

[Socialhealer]

just when i thought blizzard was showing some sign of intelligence.

they go full fucking retard again.

PLEASE no fucking earthquake it's shit utter shit, we have a great cleave in CL, unless EQ is going to tick like 200k+ crits (and im talking 580 gear) then it's shit and just makes new shamans play badly and i have to tell them to unbind that shit.

earthquake is the definition of button bloat, i use bind elemental more than i use earthquake.

edit: nice to see other shamans in this thread feel the way i do, we'll take literally anything in compensation for not having EQ back.

[Silent Earth]

It would be cool if Fulmination could be used to make Earthquake instant.

[Sandokai]

I wish you could just channel Earthquake on the target rather than having to position the stupid ring - which seems to bug the hell out any time there's any slight variation in elevation.

[Tock20]

It would be cool if Fulmination could be used to make Earthquake instant.

Oh that would be awesome! Also, it centers it on your target, save the extra click.

[Shisui-kun]

I wish earthquake was like an undispelable ring of frost xD

[Mueller Greyhound]

Blizz needs to buff Earthquake damage to make it stronger or take it out. Its kind of dumb how they decided to make Earthquake deals very low damage, thus making it not a viable choice to use it.

[Nebria]

they removed eq in an internal build already. so it is not worth to rage about it.

...adding another earthy thing instead... soooo, new spell? nice

no?? is the same thing over again !!

[Blithe]

If Earthquake were more like Death and Decay (longer cooldown, no cast time, more damage) I'd probably use it, but as far as it currently goes; no thank you.

[Raugnaut]

Totally gonna be that potatoe toss spell we saw at blizzcon.

[DeWumpus]

This idea keeps popping in my head though It probably wouldn't work.

What if we flipped the spells between specs.

- Ele could use CL to spread Flame shock and follow it up with Fire Nova.
- Enh would use Earthquake but it would be an instant cast Point-Blank AoE spell (Like Frost Nova for mages)

Ele's AoE spells would have some synergy

Enh AoE would feel a little less clunky without being tied in to Single Target spell.

Of course the Damage and cooldowns of all the spell would have to be adjusted.
