Just tested on the PTR - wind shear of course does not trigger the shock cooldown (as expected), but also does not trigger the global cooldown (which we weren't sure about). Wonder what kind of possibilities this could open up with interrupts during spell rotations and nuking.... stealth interrupts on healers while nuking another targets, 4x wind shear before instants, who knows?

Ya know it seems that shaman are getting so dang complex to run now. I dont play mine anymore, but I just can't multitask that much stuff. Guess that's why I suck at arena!

Its great for single shamans who have a healer focused. It also makes enh shamans fricken amazing against casters. No idea how it will affect boxing.

TBH the shamans buffs will backfire hard on 4 boxed shamans..

In my opinion 3 dps and Dpriest/shaman is the by far hardest healer comp to face and next patch they will team even better due to purging will be super hard vs them.

3 trashbuffs from the priest and that good damn earth shield can eat 4 purges alone.

Imagine getting bloodlust off a warlock who got earthshield(wich counts as 8 buffs alone),fort,shadow prot,spirit buff,kings and 2-3 self buffs by the warlock.

This also will help elemental shamans somewhat wich already works towards us thanks to thunderstorm...

My time as a 4 boxer is over now that i fallen in love with my priest, but your future is actually bright now that FOK rogues starts to take shitloads of whine on the pvp forums.

Actually, it's a non issue - since purging every buff off a target in 5v5 nowadays is a waste of time and a mistake anyway.
