Dragonflight Shaman Talents and Abilities Feedback - August 19, 2022

Enhancement Shaman,

Several changes are coming in the next build you receive, in addition to several bug fixes. We also removed a -35% damage and healing modifier to your spells that benefit from Maelstrom Weapon in an effort to make your spells more impactful, but may have to reintroduce this as tuning goes on.

Talent Changes:

• Primal Primer is no longer an option in the tree.
  
  • Primal Primer and Primal Lava Actuators were two different ways of making Lava Lash better. We opted to keep Primal Lava Actuators.
• Hailstorm now provides your next Frost Shock a bonus for up to 10 Maelstrom Weapon charges spent to better work with Overflowing Maelstrom. The maximum bonus targets is still limited to 5.
• Stormstrike now replaces Primal Strike.
• Doom Winds now does some immediate damage when you activate the ability.
• Ice Strike’s Frost Shock buff now highlights Frost Shock.
• Alpha Wolf now works with Chain Lightning, rather than Crash Lightning so you do not have to take Crash Lightning to get the benefit.
• Ascendance now is now a choice node vs Deeply Rooted Elements.
• Thorim’s Invocation now remembers whether you most recently cast Lightning Bolt or Chain Lightning, and uses that spell when you use Windstrike, rather than always using Lightning Bolt.
• Chain Lightning (rank 2) functionality baked into Crash Lightning/Chain Lightning interactions.
• New 1-point talent: Crashing Storms: Crash Lightning damage increased by 40%, and Chain Lightning strikes 2 additional targets.
• Gathering Storms has been consolidated down to a 1-point talent.
• Hot Hand has been converted to a 2-point talent with the same total values.
• Feral Spirit cooldown has been reduced to 90 seconds.
• Elemental Spirits no longer reduces the cooldown of Feral Spirits.
• Several talents have shifted around due to the above changes.

Thank you all for the continued feedback and testing.

We also removed a -35% damage and healing modifier to your spells that benefit from Maelstrom Weapon in an effort to make your spells more impactful, but may have to reintroduce this as tuning goes on. .... yes i know its just tuning and not a nerf hehe I just hope we dont get "tuned" back down Shammyy powaaaa!

Somehow there are few changes, I like a lot at once, it makes the game more diverse and interesting.

Please for the love of god delete hot hands or redesign it or swap it to the far side of the tree so you can get to feral spirits without going through it/gathering storm. Worst talent in the entire game.

I am not sure anyone actually asked for these changes.

There were much needed changes for sure, but there are even more that are needed, like switch Hot Hand with Stormflurry.

As a resto shaman the most important and waited change is vesper totem. Pls blizzard we need it very much!
