Shamans

• 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.
• Reincarnation: The cooldown on this spell has been lowered from 60 minutes down to 30 minutes.
• 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.
  • Enhancement
    
    • Earth's Grasp: This talent now also reduces the cooldown of the Stoneclaw and Earthbind totems by 15/30%.
  • Restoration
    
    • Improved Reincarnation: This talent now reduces the cooldown of Reincarnation by 7/15 minutes, down from 10/20 minutes. Reincarnation cannot be used in Arenas.

I may be a little late reading the notes, but last time we were talking about it we didn't know the cooldown on the Fire Nova spell at the time. Six seconds for an elemental shaman is a pretty nice hard AoE. Also Reincarnation now a 30 minute cooldown! That's going to be hell in PvP, especially if you talent it down to 15 minutes.

Macro Changes

• Symbol "@" added as a synonym for "target=". For example: "/cast [@focus] Flash Heal".
• New macro conditionals: "vehicleui" (if the player has a vehicle UI) and "unithasvehicleui" (if the target of the macro has a vehicle UI).

Shorter macros are also a nice addition for FTL users.

My bro is now 5 boxing on bonechewer alliance ... with shalph, that makes 15 of us. You should faction change and come run 25mans with us =)

I started 5 dranny shammys but, I haven't brought myself to do the 1-80 thing yet. I'm currently leveling my 70 druid solo for a couple weeks while my other 4 accounts are off. Spent too much money fixing my ATV :(

If you see a poor 'lil 70 feral drood (aptly named "Drewed") running around Howling Fjord be gentle :P
