The glyph will be changed. There's no way they'll allow 3 second cd novas.

Really? Remember FOK for 6 months?

Well if they don't I'll be ecstatic. For the solo shaman this could be considered a huge pvp nerf slash pve buff, but stacked 5 shammy deep this will have a snowball effect of QQ.

Also, why are we ok with this, yet as a community we cry about FOK's? Bias is lame.

Not thinking before talking is lame.

FOK:
Highest aoe DMG
AOE MS
AOE POISON
AOE SPELL INTERRUPT

Nova:
Aoe dmg.

Thats why.

I can't wait to try 4*this aoe + 1 TS on melee... it's two GCDs and a lot of damage... Well maybe we don't even need rr on TS anymore and it'll be a LOT of damage.

I don't think I'll miss the stun tbh. It's now that tauren shaman can make a good combo ^^

Stomp - 4 times fire - stomp is gone - TS Kaboom!

FOK:
30% reduction (nerfed) -No longer highest AOE DMG....
AOE MS -still true if the poison actually gets applied...but still requires proper pvp Hit cap to achiev
AOE POISON -same as above
AOE SPELL INTERRUPT - stop crying its been nerfed as well... no more interrupt

Just a wild guess here, but I think a few posters in this thread have rogues and are a little butthurt.

LOL, yes I have some Rogues, and not butthurt at all. Just pointing out some corrections since it was nerfed. Honestly I am happy shamans are getting this neat spell, I think it might help some teams really push their way further... yes it sucks that you guys lose the stun but hell an AOE like that every 3 seconds (glyphed and talented of course) is going to be quite nice.

Ive been playing since beta... im used to the nerf bat...

[Fat Tire]

Maybe they do, maybe they don't, but there's no doubt there's a bunch of shaman groups in here who were butthurt about FOK rogues and would be A-Okay with being OP on their shaman.

I guess kids need time to learn how to be fair about things.

I am confused... Are you saying FOK in its previous form was not OP?

[asonimie]

Now.. if they'll just get rid of the Blood Elf racial.. then we'll talk.

Many a night have I dreamed of this.

Before your only brain cell overheats, see if it can imagine fighting something that aoe's an average of 10k damage every 3 seconds while being able to round robin thunderstorm x4to5. Melee will be a joke for shaman boxers.

They are essentially giving shaman the power of having Arcane Explosion and Blast Wave together. We're not squishy like fire/acane mages, and we can also heal.

Almost OP as you are bias. Almost.

Buuuuuut you're ok with that. NERF FOK THOUGH or you'll quit? roflmao...

I think from an arena standpoint, a high rated one (my one brain cell got me there, wow you're a dick and don't belong here)

If you think you're going to kill ANY serious opponents with 7-8k novas(resilience?), you're not playing arena at my level. And if you think you'll be winning games by thunderstorm, nova, thunderstorm, nova - you're wrong. If it's tricky to kill targets with ~42k instant damage due to player reaction times, I don't think 8k will be a problem for their healers. And btw, see that 1.5sec GCD, that means you won't be doing anything else. All nova will be good for is a finishing move, or aoe only if healers are dead.

And know what? Fok WAS doing 10k every 3 seconds(AR+trinket), except this damage came from 1 rogue, (< 4 shamans). Comparative analysis?
