Some question.
1 - That shield he talks on the video will that stack, will be party shield and each totem will give a shield?

2 - What is that root spell?

The only thing I'm concerned about for 3.1 in the 5's bracket is this will bring back the 4 DPS in full force. Right now 3 DPS 2 Healer is the prominent setup and is the best to fight against for our 4 Shaman + Healer makeup. A Single Shaman should be able to drop anyone's hp to 50% in 2 globals, making them huge eye candy for other teams instead of having a Resto Shammy.

Nice!

But wait a minute, the text "takes rogues out of stealth" in the video applies to what?

Earthbind totem or the Thunderstorm ability? I know Thunderstorm can be used while stunned, but that's totally different than making another player go invisible-->visible.

The guy has 4 mobs tagged, tags a 5th one, thunderstorms, and drops an earthbind totem to root all 5 of them. The video never really shows a rogue coming out of stealth from either of these abilities.

It's really unclear. As long as we can make rogues become unstealthed is all that really matters. This alone will infinitely help my team in battlegrounds and/or Wintergrasp!

I think the changes work extremely good for 4shaman folks in arena. Espesially because you keep your free shield totems up nearly constantly. But like Ellay said, if other teams have a elemental shaman as well they`re burst damage increases a lot as well. Tho if you keep your stoneclaw totems up you can become nearly invinsible.

Don`t think they will stack so you will keep 3tremor and 1stoneclaw up and then swap around.

SC is 1 per 30 seconds and lasts for a max of 15 seconds. It's hardly invincibility...although it is a pretty sweet tool. Note that this also shares Earth with the new EB root...added degree of complexity, really. And now that Tremor is 1x for all...

Oh, for comparison: untalented PWS is 2230 per 15 seconds.

Yes and no. It still "stacks" but is locked to a global 3sec clock so all you get is a reduction of the probability of failure. My understanding anyway, and was hotfixed rather than being a 3.1 thing. And I have no clue if this is true or just FUD because I've been busy leveling and haven't tested it myself. Maybe it's just a bunch of dumbasses not getting the staggered drops right. Ask Ellay, he'd know for sure if anyone does. Heck, Suvega made some driveby post about a nonexistent "holywtf buff" to grounding totem. The thread on this was chock full of bad info, so I have no idea how much was true.Internet is like that sometimes (okay, frequently).

On the PC I believe most people use Fraps.

The Mac client has video cap built-in and can easily make HD videos, I've made a number of them at something like 1280x800 at 30fps. The built-in one is nice as it lets you do stuff like not record the UI (that is, button bars, combat text, etc), in-game audio, etc.

My rogue team isn't very happy about the new stoneclaw totems but my shamans are giddy. I sure hope they don't nerf it. Looks OP as hell.
