    Scary to think that if the "5 yards" thing was supposedly a mess up and they were "just changing the distance of the 'knock-up and not the 'knock-back'" then why in the hell change a screw up by 1 yard instead of fixing the whole damn thing?

    My guess, and LT's as well...is that it is an intentional nerf covered up with a lie...lol Good ole Blizzard...ya sure did fool us sharmans again *hick*

    Koraa's exact words pertaining to not only this build (8926) but this specific spell and how it would be fixed...

    Not exactly intended. It's still supposed to have relatively the same knock back distance, just we toned down the knock "up" effect. Should be fixed in the next build.

    If it's not intended it's not hard to fix....go to the code...and undo last change...oh my god it's fixed!...Then tinker around till you figure out how to fix the knock-up and change it accordingly.

    Even crazier is that the dev's/programmers have access to their own personal servers to test the shit they are putting in...and they still fail =/

    Re: Elemental Shaman Nerfs

    I will have to say they're really "balancing" PVE damage and completely ignoring PVP implications.

    Its hard to complain about the warlock changes when 90% of the talents they nerfed are talents that sucked so much no one used them in a talent combination or the talent points could easily just be spent somewhere else.

    They really should be jumping on rogue/paladin dps harder though.

    Re: Elemental Shaman Nerfs

    I personally dont have a problem with the implementing of PvE buffs i <3 FUCKING HEART PvE and i love the games storyline more than frustrating pvp and im not gonna lie im terribad.

    Re: Elemental Shaman Nerfs

    the other funny thing about this patch is that they nerfed lava burst through lava flows. And yet lvb didn't do enough damage anyways to warrant putting in your rotation. Now, it's worse....

    Re: Elemental Shaman Nerfs

    I've got my Ele shaman at 80 in beta, but unless promised shaman polish fixes alot of what blizz has broken over the past month or so I'll be leveling my rogue when wrath goes live instead.

    Seriously the "BLUE: You'll be fixed soon" followed by

    NERF
    NERF
    NERF!!!

    is getting really annoying!

    Re: Elemental Shaman Nerfs

    Ah well. If Blizzard doesn't get the feeling of our class right I might stop playing him. In the end no one force you to play a class you do not like to play. Maybe Blizzard will react if the shaman population shrinks below 1% 8)

    stampede STILL 15 yards, if thye do feel TS is strong, how comes this one isnt? i dont wanna to see it nerfed, but if they can have it, we should too for balance and place in the tree sake

    Re: Elemental Shaman Nerfs

    A lot of the changes you're seeing was the result of us taking a very harsh look at the spells and talents. We nerfed any that gave too much for their mana or talent cost. We changed some that were confusing or tried to do too much. We scrapped some that were going to be too hard to polish or eternally buggy.
    okay, that was said by GC.

    im just wondering, if they nerfed talents, which gave too much for their place, how comes, that Lightning mastery, as 26-30 pointer ISNT considered weak talent and thus should be buffed? or shall i intepret it different way? "were gonna nerf good talents, but bad talents will remain bad" ?

    Funny for I wrote about this talent in another thread as well But yeah, this talent truely fails. I mean, come on, 5 points on tier 6 for -0.5 seconds? This talent should be tier 1 or 2 talent.
    Remember back those days when Blizzard reduced the base casting time of LB? Their argument was they wanted to give resto specced shamans the ability to grind better. And lower the mana cost of course. Back then I thought: Oh my, why didn't they just swap Lightning Mastery with Call of Thunder or one of those tier 1 talents?
