Not much choice early in the tree but I guess this is to let new players see the tree as they level and get used to adding points. Not a major issue.
Am I misreading something? Stormkeeper is in there twice.
Would be interested in reading the views of more experienced Shaman. Hard to tell if Storm Elemental is worth it for example. Well, not until we get a chance to play around with various builds.
Only really looked at the Elemental Tree. There are some obvious paths, A Thundery Lightning path, a Flame Shock fiery path. Seems reasonably intuitive.
I’m kinda garbage shaman however no matter how I looked at it there really isn’t much I’d take as enhancement on the last 2 rows of general shaman talents. I mean I’m sure there is situational stuff there for sure but most of the other classes have had cool stuff on their last talent tiers but on shaman I don’t feel like anything would improve my overall contribution to the group. Stun totem, root totem, hex, purge, kick and windfury totem and you’re kind of set honestly. And unless everything out there is trying to poison you there really is no merit to delve too deep in that tree.
Edit: And in terms of spec specific trees I’d have to say that elemental tree looks far better to my untrained eye than the enhancement tree. So idk.
I only looked at the resto tree. There is some interesting stuff, in and also some limitations. Like lava surge procs is behind water shield. Water shield is one of those unpruned buttons we got back, but i would instant give that one up. Lava surge is a must have though.
There is quite some interesting stuff coming back too, like the old crashing waves talent from legion with 2 tidal waves on riptide. Some torghast healing rain damage with acid rain, and a 2nd spawn of the stun totem.
In the main tree i see no other option than instant enabling all the 4 top ones. I do not see any resto without chain lightning and a defensive.
I have to play around a bit more with it.
Seems like it, maybe they combine together if you pick both like an extra charge or increased damage and the tooltip doesn’t reflect it yet.
Oh, finally! Thanks for sharing, Chronormi.
not gonna lie the new talents system looking good, maintain class balance and give somewhat decent pvp is the name of the game. This shows blizzard did listen on player feedback. This has potential to be best pvp expansion for years and all classes balanced!

It’s confirmed that they want to give the possibility of having 2 charges of Stormkeeper/Healing Srtream Totem.

I do prefer that tree framework, hopefully most of talent trees would look like this !
