I am having some struggles with my enhc shaman which I have played through season one. My main problem is now maelstrom stacks are not shown visually on the UI. For reference, I am using the base UI and no WA’s. None of my abilities light up when they have 10 stacks of maelstom weapon or better my tempest doesn’t even light up when it is procced too. Only my stormstrike is getting lit up and very rarely the lightning abilities. Am I having this problem because of some problem I have or is this the new “UI update” pushed within the new patch? I couldn’t figure out that is why I wanted to ask because if they removed all of the indicators from the base UI well while it is not the end of the world it is a nuisance on my side as I liked all of them lighting up at the same time…
Also the Tempest rotation now feels very clunky.
EDIT:
I have been reading the new patch notes for 10 minutes now and I still haven’t finished the enhc but I now have my answer…
Maelstrom Weapon no longer highlights spenders when they become instant cast at 5 stacks.
Developers’ notes: The constant highlighting of Maelstrom Weapon spending abilities has become a hindrance in understanding how to play Enhancement Shaman, causing too much information overload that is often inaccurate. Our goal here is to let the fundamental design of the specialization speak for itself, similar to our other specializations, and be more deliberate with procs that require immediate actions. Moving into Undermine(d), we will be rolling back most of the highlights on the main resource system, and start relying on UI overlays (Top) and personal resource display to show the current state of Maelstrom Weapon. We do not take these changes lightly, and realize there will be an adjustment period. We are excited for you to experience Enhancement Shaman in this new way and look forward to hearing your feedback.
Maelstrom Weapon will display a UI overlay at the top for when it reaches 10 stacks, overriding the 5-stack display (was at the bottom).
Maelstrom Weapon will not be highlighting Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning and Elemental blast at 10 stacks.
Developers’ notes: After the user experience improvements in the 20th Anniversary Update, which dedicated the UI overlay space exclusively to Maelstrom Weapon, we no longer believe that highlighting your baseline spender abilities is necessary. The initial five stacks for Maelstrom Weapon will be displayed at the top as usual. Upon reaching ten stacks, another visual will override the five-stack display, utilizing the visual previously used for the mastery reset on Stormstrike’s cooldown.
Maelstrom Weapon highlights Tempest when it is at 10 stacks.
Maelstrom Weapon will highlight Primordial Storm when it is at 10 stacks.
They wanted to hear feedback and my feedback is I’m tired of learning enhancement shaman every time a new patch drops…
