What do you mean that is how every class works? Only other casters work that way, not rogues, warriors, hunters, and ferals, who are also a hybrid class. And the reason why is cause you get gcd locked. And how something has been for a certain amount of time doesn’t mean it can’t be changed, that argument is always dumb. It is basically not an argument, it is a conservative viewpoint.
And it is not a small issue, it is hindering the class to perform, especially now on wednesday when they will add 50% more procrate on it from WF. Regarding totems on retail you can have presets and put out all at the same time, here it is super tedious without a gcd change on that ability, I mean in most fights in pvp, it’s not even worth putting down most of your totems, just the 1 or max 2, cause it takes too long and if you spend time on it you lose the fight already with the dmg being as high as it is now.
Also there is one more reason, it just sucks the enjoyment out of playing the class in alot of situations, but yeah, this is just a skilled player issue so it might now effect you, don’t know, but can you add any argument to why it should NOT be changed other than “It has always been like that.”. Like some grandpa promoting that we should still live in the stone age “Cause we always lived like that.”

Lower GCD on Storm Strike and Lava lash from 1.5 sec to 1.0 sec, along maybe shock abilities.
Remove GCD totally from utility totems like Strength of earth, mana spring, wind fury (which we just put for others) etc.
Lower GCD on tremor totem and grounding totem from 1.5 sec to 1.0 sec.
That’s it. It would be perfect, and not a chore to put down totems and you wont get GCD capped, and the casters spells are not effected.
Why would anyone disagree to these quality of life changes and improved gameplay for enh Shamans?
