    Patch 6.2 Hotfixes: July 20

    Elemental

    Mastery: Molten Earth damage has been increased by 11%.
    Ascendance now has a 2-minute cooldown (down from 3 minutes) for Elemental Shaman.

    So we are going to have to use Elemental Mastery no matter what now, right?

    Yay now I don't have to go enhance! Honestly enhance is way too spammy for me, and hopefully with the ascendance change I'll get to come for mythic gorefiend progression tommorow, here's my 20 minutes of optimism.\\

    edit: and I just noticed
    -Please note that the following class tuning changes are still in-testing.

    Pessimism time, I bet it'll be reverted by tomorrow morning.

    Orc has to be best by a pretty good margin now right, thank to the miracle of cooldown stacking?

    Damn, I love echo but the world aligning for elemental mastery is just too good.

    No. Since WoD (pre hotfix):

    Alliance: Draenei > Dwarf > Pandaren (~0.87% difference from best to worst)
    Horde: Tauren = Pandaren > Goblin > Orc = Troll (~0.43% difference from best to worst)

    Guess that hotfix will buff Tauren even more, and it'll buff Orcs. I'd even say that post hotfix it'll be Tauren = Pandaren = Orc, without proper math to back it up.

    Ok so first. Why would you be forced to go from a shit ranged spec to a just as shit melee spec?

    Second. Why would a 3%buff change that?

    Because most normal heroic guilds have no clue how much dps was gained or lost from spell changes. Which they are already plagued with ppl thinking ele dps is great anyways.

    It's a nice change given that I rerolled from Enhance to Ele the day before 6.2, after which Enhance got propped up and the switch was seemingly for naught

    Oh well, Ascendance for AoE is still crap, so Echo remains king there.

    On the other hand I think FS dependance and a extra effect for Ascendance is needed. Giving it Cata's EM damage % increase could be cool.

    Also reduce Elemental Totems cd to 4min (2min gliphed). There. Now we have the biggest amount of cd stacking ever. EM, Ring, Ascendance, Elemental, Bloodfury. GG.
