ive been thinking about the recent shaman changes this morning and heres my conclusion.
Flametounge change is uncreative and a quick fix, Warriors used to be the only ones who could do it at 50%, now rogues have buffed it upto 50%, hunters can now do 50%, whos next..warlocks can now decrease healing done by 50% when using curse of agony.
I thank blizzard for looking at shamans and buffing them, but im more worried on the general direction of the game as a whole. Every class is crying balance, but in the end you cant balance the game. Blizzard need to stop making every class the same. Shamans would like cc, but with the amount of other cc in the game if you give us some, well then we're the same as everyone else. Hopefully Wotlk will bring some more diversity rather than just the same old shit.
Totem change is great, but i think totems need more than 5hp, buff them up a little somehow, maybe 10% of the shamans total hp or somecrap. I guess atleast blizz are trying to help shamans out after so much neglect.
