Sorry for the confusion. It's mine.

[Ryanite]

The exclamation point had me excited that they'd actually put through a real redesign haha.

[Butser]

It's sad to see the playerbase has better ideas than the designers.. Or maybe they aren't doing it due lack of time....

Oh and you tricked me... this title is misleading! You lured me in! And I'm dissapointed now... Next time add in the front: "My thoughts"

So I can skip it and avoid the dissapointment :P

Sorry! It's a bit clickbaity, huh?

[Justpassing]

This is how I feel about the whole shaman debacle.

[Swalload]

I'm crying right now.

It was very believable since nothing is like over the top unbalanced like most people do, everything here could very well be in the game and it wouldn't break anything. Often times, people just invent crazy shit cuz they dream of making their class OP. Here it's just level headed good changes that would be entirely possible.

[Ragnarocket]

Juuuuust a bit...I'm going to change the title to make it clear that it's YOUR version of the changes.

[Cristoff]

I like some of these changes that you proposed, maybe put this on the actual Wow shaman forums in the hope a dev would see it.

The one thing I would like to see changed is searing assault become baseline and a talent that causes lava lash to spread the searing assault dot and have crash lightning erupt the dots, kind of like old flame shock spread and fire nova explosion.

[MakeMeLaugh]

Juuuuust a bit...I'm going to change the title to make it clear that it's YOUR version of the changes.

It's still clickbait. I thought blizz actually changed enhanc and was happy.

Tired of reading these proposed changes to classes because we all know blizz won't do anything. Now I'm even more pissed ugh.
