To early to tell still, they always come through in the end....oh wait this is Activision Blizzard now.
its the 4p bonus and thats actually huge if you play with elemental blast, its not a lava lash nerf because flametongue already increases lava lash damage by 40% so the damage will stay the same, but overall dps will increase since flametongue proccs on every hit unlike frostbrand. Like I said playing with elemental blast will become better than primal elementalist because unleash flame increases the size of the next fire spell (also elemental blast) by 30% so quadrupled you can easily burst 170k hp (noncrit) on resilience and keep in mind with stormstrike up you got +25% crit chance on eb so this is acutally a decent dps and huge burst buff, considering extra 3500 agility/mastery/haste/crit for 8 sec afterwardsQuote:

#update on pve trinkets
Patch 5.4 PvE Trinkets in PvP
Remember that this is only on the PTR at the moment and that's always been a melting pot of experiments and us trialling things for the live game. Just because you have seen this trinket on the PTR with those particular effects doesn't mean it will make it to the live game in its current form.
We're aware that those particular trinkets are really strong for PvP in their current state. Our goal hasn't changed, we want ensure that PvP gear will stay as the optimal choice for PvP and as such we're working on bringing these trinkets into line. Thank you everyone for telling us what you think about them and we hope to continue seeing your feedback on the changes shown on the PTR. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Took 1/2 a season for them to fix it.Quote:

theres a vid somewhere of a warrior 1 shotting 2 people in 2's with dragon's roar on PTR.
So wait, in world pvp, a PVE hero with those trinkets will one shot my entire team?
yes, watch at 12:55Quote:

1,4M dragon roar and bladestorm dps with sweeping strikes is so retarded with those trinkets, I really hope those pve items gets fixed for pvp ... not just rated I mean ban them from pvp like legendary cloak proccs
but anyway I dont mind bladestorm/dragon roar damage without pve trinkets since chainheal will keep us alive as long as you dont get chain ccd, good that warriors cant have shockwave/bladestorm/dragon roar all together :)
I doubt they are gonna let that stuff happen even in world pvp. Warriors running around critting 600k+ with one move will cause a lot of qq, even if it's not in instanced pvp.

Ok then I guess I"m going to farm a lowbie zone all day long until I get reported a lot. ANd if Blizz asks me wtf is going on I tell them, this is my replacement of PVE trinkets, me farming level 60s is like PVE heros farming level 90s in FULL pvp gear.
Double healer warrior will rape any comp in the game really with that shit... like WTF are they thinking.Quote:

That's actually funny to read. Prior to mop they wanted to bring back the war aspect in WoW, Now they basically say fuck the war.Quote:

LOL I read that as one shot their mirror image. :)
well ... I "stormblasted" a gateway today :D
too bad that it cant port itself (that would look funny)
More videos pleaseeeeeee. I get my enhance gear in 2 weeks and would love to see more of you in action!!!
I'm on it
Your competition already beat you to it. ;)Quote:

lol :D looks pretty funny from the other side ;)
wasnt at home over the entire weekend so no further movie/arena progress yet sorry :/
That movie was awesome! Took a lot longer for your one shot than I thought. I figured you would open with that, but you waited for a bit. Is that just to throw people off or wait for all their CCs to come out?
When I'm facing a team multiple times i wont play the same strat over and over and they werent doing that much pressure to force my oneshot early
This is the number one reason I am looking forward to cross realm arena.Quote:

Of course i prefer more teams but nowdays they cant really do something annoying like back in the days against ele i.e. pillar huging or manadrain a toon nonestop, they're aware of a oneshot and thats about it
When you are able to legitimately kill a single target in .5 seconds it is kinda hard for people to develop strats not knowing what tools they will have avail since they don't exactly know who you're going to global. :PQuote:

this is well ... not like I could complain about anything in the current state of 5.4 but I was hoping for something better but its quite useful in certain cases, I guess I can make use of this against pure melee cleaves and shadow cleave teams where I want to play with stonebulwark so it wont get replaced by tremor, also useful against 4/5 dps teams to drop healingstream/healing tide simultaniously and using ancestral guidance afterwards is some massive heal for 20 seconds
I will update the main post soon (tomorrow or something) and share all the thoughts/new ideas and do some tweaks, I'll let you know when I'm done
so today went out with 10-17, still 1 rating higher than before, met a lot of high rated teams and suprisingly could beat a 2,2k melee cleave twice until they found out they just have to jump on my pally and win then game like 6 times in a row, anyway I was also doing kinda bad against caster teams until I found a stupid mistake in my coe macro, its not a good idea to use grounding as the gcd blocker because grounding actually replaces windwalk and well ... nothing more to add here :) using earthbind instead now
afterall went from 5-13 to 10-17 and I know 5.4 is a huge buff for us but I dont think that I can get really higher with pally at this point, like 10 out of 17 loss the enemys team ccd me and killed him within 10 seconds. So I'll continue to play with pally for now but I'm about to get a druid now too, last season I switched from pally to druid I went 400 rating up in 2 days.
That will happen to any single healer team though. If they GET on your druid it will die faster since shaman do not give him an immunity.Quote:

ofc if they get on the druid then with all cds then its my fault
movie progress ~5minutes, finally got an acceptable intro now its just adding on arena games and explain all the stuff I'm doing (by writing, no voice commentary planned) and a few other things I do out in the world
should be done sometime before half life 3
Half Life 3 confirmed.
11-9 today 2048, was close to 2,1 today but 4 melee dps with priest is probably the worst thing that can happen to me ;)
anyway happy with the result, droped a game against a 2,6k+ rogue/ele/mage double heal, gonna be awesome next season with the new frostmage mastery, anyway didnt oneshot the ele because smokebomb los'd him from one of my toons
however I have plenty games frapsed now and can continue on the movie
quick update on ptr patchnotes
stormstrike still buffs eb on ptr but you have to spec elemental blast in order to see it in the stormstrike tooltip so nothing nerfed
135k crits with ~55% crit on resilience is pretty good
movie progress ~20 minutes
What race would be best for Shamans in arena as horde?
I prefer orc because of berserk and stun duration reduce, but troll racial is also very powerful
I've also thought about playing the main as tauren to warstomp-> oneshot melees (cant dodge/parry stormblast then), I guess that would be a good solution
Capacitor Totem?
capacitor is incredibly tricky/unreliable to land, even while single boxing, and it almost requires you to glyph it
Single boxing I have seen a shaman do it well with the throw totems talent. Boxing that would require too much effort :/
However, it would serve as a nice deterrent if someone was tunneling you. Either A. disengage or B. get stunned
my plan is actually working with glyphed capacitor/totemic projection and eartgrab on the main only against melee teams because I dont need that many windwalks anyway
but it would be much easier to play with warstomp
broke 2,1k today, down to 2092 now
major problems are still triple melee teams, but the higher I get the more caster teams I face so I'm pretty confident in breaking 2,2k this season
seriously had a game today vs ele mage rogue double heal that shits on everything you've seen in my previous movies (ofc frapsed it)
GJ. I might make a run at the comp next season.Quote:
