I appreciate all the buffs to RShaman, but we need more than just 5% buffs and damage increases to make us playable in M+.
We could use a talent rework that’s for sure… but since we wont be getting it any time soon before S4 if I may suggest:
Non-talent related changes:
Make Lava Surge procs off the GCD.
Make Storm Keeper instant cast.
Buff Earthern Harmony to give a 12-15% DR (~ double its contribution) and make it an off GCD cast.
That would kind of solve our main issues: (A) we lack a way to do damage AND heal at the same time (unlike DPriest, MW, and RDruid). (B) a lack of external (unlike the meta classes above).
So we would weave damage automatically, AND, as a replacement for a true external we get a “mini version” of it, but with out a CD. But -6% is not enough.
It would also not impact our raid HPS too much, which is what would happen if you buff us once again to make it a played spec in M+.
But PW travel time definitely is not the answer. Thats for sure.
You sir dont get RShaman. In M+ we cant cut it. And the Raid season is over by the way, so now its M+ season.
We did not need a strict 5% HPS buff, we just needed something to address our other core issues: (A) we are not a haste spec and (B) lack of external CDs
and (C) impossibility to do damage and heal at the same time.
Which explains your comment: It does NOT matter if RShaman DPS is 1 button, or if that 1 button does a ton of damage. If you have to spend ALL your GCDs to keep the party alive, then your overall DPS = 0. Thats the issue.

The February 8 hotfix broke “To The Test: Rune of Shadowbinding” and the previous tethercoil quest part of the legendary questline, impossible to make progression.
Just a quick reminder that we pay a sub fee for this game. Applying a hotfix that practically disables the quest for a legendary, which has a low drop chance anyway and not fix the problem after over 24 hours is abysmal. Please do better blizzard.
Can you please fix random targeting of certain skills…
And the double tap of Manifested Timeways… please…
And the crazy HP scale of Irridicron…
Among other things…
Also, can you please put MDI players on separate servers? So the rest of us dont have to wait for the event to finish to get the needed balance tuning? Please…
Now all you have to do is fix the drop-rate for it so that the rest of us peasants can have a chance to enyoy what’s left of this patch before we have to replace it.
Still happening. Screenshot from today… nope, not allowed to include or link anything.
Well, it is still happening. I am currently waiting for it to reset.
I gotta say it is pretty insane that this is still bugging out after years and years of reporting, countless forum posts about it here and elsewhere and multiple attempts of fixing it. Maybe add a check for a one-hit kill and if true just skip the whole thing?

I guess that’s all I can do. sadge
EDIT:
I am now waiting with multiple characters. I won’t try again.
So effectively my chances on a Midnight drop are decreased by one third further from how little they were before. Given that this is one of very few things I actually still want to do in the game …
Fixed an issue with Echoing Reprimand that allowed Slice and Dice to trigger effects like Ruthlessness and Restless Blades as if spending 7 combo points.
Dungeons
Waycrest Manor
Fixed an issue where receiving Aura of Dread can interrupt a player’s channel.
