Ion Elemental mobility working as intended

[Darya]

This would require what, increase Lightning Bolt / Chain Lightning damage by like 300%? Or shift it towards ES which is an instant skill and is usable "while moving"...

Easy fix: remove LvB CD, make it our baseline filler spell. Remove ES as spender and make Lightning Bolt our Maelstorm spender scaling from 60-100 Maelstorm turning it into a MASSIVE ST ability that hits as hard as Glacial Spike / Deathbolt.

Fuck no. They should just forget maelstrom and go back to what elemental was in MoP.

Also, this just grinds my gears since ele was thé original mobile ranged class....

True, casting lightning bolts while running was one of my favorite thing when I mained a shaman. More recently Gust of Wind was amazing too

Lightning on the move and spiritwalkers Grace... Sigh, those were the days!

Just wait they'll bring it back... as a talent... with 50% decreased damage on Lightning Bolt.

People responsible for working out math behind the class abilities have to be some of the most retarded people on planet.

but a really shitty boring class fantasy is way more fun than say actual fun gameplay right?

Yeah, apparently for some classes it's the way they want things to go. Sad sad times.

"Elemental Shaman is intended to be a less mobile spec, for example, while Hunters overall have mobility as an explicit strength. So when we receive feedback that a less mobile spec wishes they were more mobile, frankly, that's working as intended"

Guys relax the immoblity we have been complaining for years about is working as intended even tho hunters do way more dmg while being mobile
and the fact that we used to have lightning bolt as a cast while moving ability and spiritwalker's grace to cast while moving for the whole duration of ascendance which they removed is all working as intended. Rejoice

That's great to hear so shamans have nothing to complain about now right?

Dev are not interested in details, and they focus on the next plan. So bad class, spec is forever bad. mobility? turret dps spec and reward?
Everybody knows, but the turret dps spec is still bad.

They do not care about small rewards. That's why all they say is bullshit. Devs have been known to be unbalanced from diablo3, and that is their limit.
They have a 10-fold difference in dps between sets. It shows how they do not care about tuning.
They are stupid. Talented people do not have to look at the results, but they do the same. They are obviously not talented.
