Large PvP buff but unfortunately nothing but nerfs for PvE really.

What pve nerfs ? A single mana totem is barely under 4 old version totems... Now you can have mana / healing / cleansing up at all times and to make up for the difference pop thunderstorm. Before 3.1 ThunderStorm is really never used for mana regen untill you hit 25man boss fights and then it is more a cushion than a NEED.

Read again - that 91 mana is per 5 seconds, the old 34 mana per was every 2 seconds, which means the "buff" was only 6mp5. That little tidbit nullifies the rest of your statement :)

Also healing stream doesn't stack anymore which was the single most OP thing about 4.

I never used Healing Stream >< If your doing PvE a chain heal from 4 characters at 50% takes everyone to 100%. In PvP it's cleansing totems only.

omg this is it!. ive been waiting so long! lol woot.. yeh and the stoneskin shield!x5

There are a lot of PvE fights where having 4 healing stream totems makes the fight go from fairly difficult to completely trivial (and in some cases might even be nearly required if you aren't severely overgeared), and in some cases you still need to cast 4x chain heal in addition to 4x healing stream. Examples: Novos, Loken, Ionar, Drakkari Colossus, and many others.

4 healing streams for me heals 900 hp every 2 seconds - thats not trivial at all, and dropping from 900 to 224 every 2 seconds is a huge nerf :)

This.

Forget the mana spring nerf - our PvP effectiveness just got supercharged.

im bad at math.. but isnt 91/5 greater than 34/2?

Damn it, blizzard has it out for multiboxers, look at all the negative changes that will forever cripple our gameplay, our love for the game and multiboxing in general!!!%

wow.

stacked healing stream was one of the primary reasons i made a shaman team. im just about to hit 70 and start getting some decent spell damage gear, to see the effect.. now it seems it will be next to worthless by the time im 80. great.

love how blizzard manages to turn a supposed "buff" into a stealth nerf.

Can someone cite an authoritative source for healing stream totems no longer stacking? I don't see this in the details originally posted.

i suppose we can also assume that since healing/mana streams will be combined, the mana portion will no longer stack, either.

makes it virtually impossible to be focused fired for 4 shaman boxers and EB totem/s makes a great peel now
