Updated WotLK changes (insane Shaman buffs)

Linky - http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=12440.0

Shaman changes to note - Totem of Wrath now gives 6% spell damage increase and 3% crit, no longer gives 3% to spell hit. Oh well I'll take that HUGE spell damage increase over that any day :)
New talent which replaced the storm/fire/earth crappy one, this one does 25% more lightning bolt damage!! wooot!
Paralysis was removed and in it's place is 60% more spell damage on Flametongue weapon and 24% chance to crit on Lava Burst, can't really beat that!
Eye of the Storm is going to have 70% spell pushback on Lightning Bolt / Chain Lightning / Lava Burst, which is pretty huge.

This is going to make us hit Very hard, and for PvE we will scale well.

Sounds delicious :) Especially the 20% more dmg on LB.

with that much damage increase makes me wonder if they will still let it stack

Are they still nerfing the lightning bolt coefficient?

Paralysis would have been amazing for pvp. Enemies couldn't dip in and out of your range with paralysis since if you catch that druid with 1 bolt he's stuck and snared before he can LOS you and such. It would have really helped against runners and LOS'ers.

Totem of wrathx5 looks near godly now. OMFG 30% more spell damage and 15% crit%? YES PLEASE!!

Might be a stupid question, but do we think the 6% spell damage effect would stack ?

and is ToW stacking across all raid members?

WTF this is awsum! btw this + set bonus enny one?:

Eye of the Storm (Tier 4) changed to give you a 23/46/70% chance to avoid interruption caused by damage while casting Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, Lava Burst and Hex spells.

but then again, they took paralysis away! :(

Awsum! Hope they dont remove the stacking of TOW if they do then that would suck

I think the stacking will be removed.. But hey! One of my shamans will be getting it :p
