Q u o t e:
Crowd Control for the class as a whole.
Totems for the class as a whole.
Earth Shield being dispellable.
Lightning Shield being too expensive to cast.
The opinion that Shamanistic Rage will be useless with the upcoming changes if not made exempt to dispel.
Itemization concerns for elemental and enhancement (slow one-hander availability for both the main hand and off-hand in particular).
I feel you missed the MAJOR elemental shaman issues.
-Bugs related to the 50% damage of Lightning Overload (It causes your regular bolts cast immed after the LO to still do only 50% damage when they should be doing 100%)
-Lightning Overload having a new hidden cooldown (It isn't chain proc'ing and it used to).
-Nerfs, our damage has been reduced and we were told it would actually increase.
There are other issues and lots of posts about them both here and in the test realm forum. I don't blame you nor do I think your a liar or any of that bad stuff. I just want to be sure you are aware of all the issues that are bothering the elemental shaman out there (especially since you play one).
I mean, have you played your ele shaman on the PTR? Have you seen the constructive posts made over and over detailing how these changes (while improving our sustanability and lessen our threat) cause use to actually lose more than was suggested.
Could we just undo the coefficient change and add to a bottom tier resto talent to reduce the cast time of LB and CL by 0.5 seconds and accomplish the same goal without messing with elemental shaman?
We have no CC
We have no way to counter Snares
We are at a major disadvantage vs. Melee (no way to get away, can't cast in their face, cooldowns on instant cast spells limiting out dmg when being beat on).
Can we please keep our current coefficients?
Don't expect a reply but please read this.
