PRIEST[*]Discipline has access to a new talent, Power Word: Barrier. (Think of it as Power Word: Shield for your whole group).
SHAMAN[*]Totem streamlining: The Mana Spring and Healing Stream Totems have been combined. The Disease Cleansing and Poison Cleansing Totems have been combined. [/font][/color]

all i have to say for shamys is ITS ABOUT FLIPPIN TIME!! and the priests things is going to awesome for PvE! wounder how long we have to w8 for this patch...

There is nothing in here to suggest that the amount healed/mana restored will be equal to the two totems combined. I would not take this for granted - at all. If true, sure that's awesome. Could be a big a nerf, too, though if they half the value of each restored.[/quote]dang dude why did you have to go and harsh our mellow like that... lol jk :P ya i had thought of that but i hope that they just "combine" the 2, instead of smacking them out of the park with the nerf bat. either way we won't know for sure till its out so no point in getting all worked up over what could/couldn't happen. :) :(

Changing it to half and half wouldn't really do anything at all (ie: would be a completely pointless change). Furthermore, they've already combined a bunch of totems and never did that before, so no reason to suspect it now. However, there is a possibility they will just make it not stack at all, thats what I'd be worried about.

shhh don't give them any ideas ;) i don't see why they wouldn't let it stack though, i mean it would only make sense to have them stack. if they stack i wouldn't even mind if the did cut the amount healed/mana in half, i would prefer if they didn't but as long as it stacks it would be fine for me.

all we can do is hope that it will do exactly what we want it to do

remember water totems in game currently are group only (mana/heal, poison, disease). Nothing in the notes say they changed it to raid, where stacking is really an issue -- outside of multiboxers, no one really runs 5 mans with multiple shamans.

We'll just have to wait and see for PTR, I wouldn't be super suprised if it stopped stacking but I hope it still does.

I would be really pissed if the new manaheal totems don't stack.

edit: really really really pissed

While the Shaman chnages look good on paper, I am pissed that Rogues - a class whose burst damage damage is already way too high - are getting these buffs.

Killing Spree is already an IWIN button in 1v1 and now its getting a 20% damage buff.

Adrenalin Rush already allows them to practically spam abilities like Fan Of Knives (which had its cooldown removed in 3.08 ) and now they will be able to pop it more often.

Seriously, WTF is Blizz thinking?

Is there any word if the damage reduction on chain lightning jumps is changed? If it hits all 4 targets for the same amount then that's great, but if it does less damage each jump then that means the 4th jump will hit for what, 100 damage?

An alternative could be to have on the manaheal totem the same stacking rules as it is today e.g. healing stacks and mana doesn't.

It would basically give one more healing tick for the whole group (the totem which is currently mana only) without creating too much imbalance...
