the main thing that I would like to discuss in this thread, is this part...

• Fire Nova Totem: This totem has been replaced with a new spell, Fire Nova, which is available at the same ranks as the old Fire Nova Totem. Existing characters will automatically learn this new spell in place of the totem. With a Fire Totem active, shamans will be able to use Fire Nova (fire magic) to emit the same area-of-effect damage as the old Fire Nova Totem from the active Fire Totem, not consuming the totem in the process. Fire Nova will activate a 1.5-second global cooldown when used and has a 10-second spell cooldown. The caster must be within 30 yards of the totem to use this ability, but does not need to be within line of sight of the totem.
• Talents
  
  • Elemental Combat
    
    • Improved Fire Nova Totem: Renamed Improved Fire Nova. This talent now provides an additional 10/20% damage to the spell and reduces the cooldown by 2/4 seconds

With Fire Nova, where will we put it in our DPS macro? From the comments it looks like it will be cast-able every 3 seconds, or Am I missing something here?

What do you Guru's of all things Shaman think of this?

Has a 10 second CD, 6 talented. I still wouldn't use it.

For enhancement AOE sounds great, assuming you can afford the mana to drop magma + fire nova.. not so sure about for elly (short range).

3 second cooldown with talents and glyph. It all depends on the mana cost and whether you can fully utilize the spell. I would not put it in the rotation as of this time. Lets wait and see how much it changes through testing.

Sounds good guys. I'll keep it off to the side then.
