GC lifted the tip of the veil and anounced some of the incomming shaman changes
and all I can say is woah :D that's some good stuff right there !

Q u o t e:

SHAMAN

Chain Lightning – now jumps to 4 targets but does less damage. We wanted to make the distinction between Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning more clear.

Storm, Earth and Fire – this talent now increases all damage done by Flame Shock, not just periodic damage.

Spirit Weapons – now reduces all threat, not just melee threat.

Unleashed Rage – reduced to 2 ranks, now also increases your critical strike chance with melee attacks by 1/2%.

Totem streamlining: The Mana Spring and Healing Stream Totems have been combined. The Disease Cleansing and Poison Cleansing Totems have been combined.

We are also working on giving Enhancement and Elemental more PvP utility.


That's some of the best news I've heared in .... quite a while.
Especially the streamlining of water totems is something I've wanted to happen for ages.
and here's to hoping for some more viability for ele/enhance o/
