Have we forgotten what our mastery does?
We just get pets that do the same thing?
Loads dont like PW i dont mind it but why we pushed into a single spec?
Sadly fourm post after fourm post all saying the same thing about shaman yet nothing?
Need a raid buff, new defensive help, needs a new way of flame shock spread, earthquake needs some love!
Totemic is also going to be terrible we hardy uses totems now so buffing already weak ones wont male a great spec.
I think Farseer is ok, it just needs more player agency, as summoning ancestral spirits is too RNG. However, baseline Shamans need a rework/update. As a class, they need some buff to their defenses, and Elemental and partially Enhancement need a fix to to their rotation.
Hero specs are a cherry on top, but currently it doesn’t top a cake…
Barely post on forums anymore, but I felt it needs be said that the Farseer talents is just up and away… incredibly boring, a little uninspired and quite frankly very sleepy. I’m not sure what the idea was in the first place, but playing around with yet another RNG aspect doesn’t feel at all appealing to me.
Hope to see it gets some touch-ups. And cross-fingers Totemic and/or Stormbringer will be more attractive.
Because this ability was added in Cata - Unleash Elements (15 sec boost damage of one Fire/Heal/Extra Attack) which got removed in WoD due to being not impactful (was DPS loss in Cata). In Pandaria they had to create talent which basically worked as lighting rod for it so people actually used it.
Then in shadowlands we got abilities which were so bad all resto and ele went primordial wave (other got buffed a lot later but tooo late and it was huge pain to switch covenants) which works basically the same. But because it was “Super” popular in Shadowlands we got stuck with it.
Primordial Wave = Unleash Elements
And now because of Popularity of S3/4 set bonus we are still stuck with it.
I hate primordial wave so much… I hope they dont…
But if they do keep it… I just wish I did not have to spend 4 talent points to make it usable (RShaman). Just make it baseline 30s atleast. And higher up in the tree.
Also, it should be in the class tree, not the spec tree. Its weird that all 3 shaman specs have it, and its a choice talent in all 3 trees.
