Shaman 12857 changes(?)

#0 - Aug. 31, 2010, 12:33 p.m.

This was just posted over on MMO-champion. There's no actual build on the beta servers, so this may be an internal build that they just accidentally put up for downloading at some point. So take this with a grain of salt.

But, since we're bound to start a thread about it anyway...

Elemental
* Magma Totem base damage increased by 33%.
* Fire Nova base damage increased by 33%.
* Rolling Thunder is now a Tier 3 talent, down from Tier 4. Mana regeneration increased from 1% to 2%.
* Improved Fire Nova moved to Enhancement.
* Elemental Reach no longer increases the range of Thunderstorm, now affects the range of all your Shock spells. (Old - Just Flame Shock)

Enhancement
* Unleash Elements now has a 40 yards range, up from 30 yards.
* Totemic Vigor is gone.
* Improved Fire Nova is now a Tier 4 Enhancement Talent - Increases the damage done by your Fire Nova by 10/20% and reduces the cooldown by 2/4 sec.

Restoration
* Improved Water Shield now also procs from Greater Healing Wave.

Q u o t e:
2) Thunderstorm being removed from Elemental Reach gives it even less talent tree support than it had before. This amuses me greatly. Why was it removed anyway? Tooltip clutter?

Yeah. It buffed Thunderstorm from 10 to 12 yards, which is pretty hard to even notice.
