A Few Upcoming Shaman Changes

[Kromtor]

i've been thinking about this and i'm concerned about the purge nerf - i think we need to push for purge to be changed to have a 8 to 15 second cooldown rather the change to only dispel'ing 1 magic effect. we're having enough touble as it is with shaman arena teams, we don't want to have to eat up twice our GCD's with purges than before.

Not to mention increased cost of doing so.

From my teams perspective (melee team with 1 Enhancement shaman) I really like the Tremor Totem change, I use Earthbind for Earthen Power primarily so now that I can also use tremor reactivly during a fear for a team fear break is very cool! The Purge changes are pretty brutal though, with the mental quickness discount removed that takes the mana cost from ~1100 to 3500 (25k base mana pool) and ofcourse only removing 1 buff instead of 2.

The purge change will hurt for sure. I love enhancement atm combined with another melee dk/rets. Makes wow fun in arena again for me. I dont use purge a ton, I use it in route to an enemy, but I wasnt really spamming it. So I have no idea how it will affect me. Most teams in 2s and 3s have a resto shaman and purge is useless against an earth shield, unless they make it go back to 1 buff instead of 8.

I really like the tremor change and so far I think I like the CC changes. My only hope is that they dont touch interrupts, I need my interrupts. Meleecleave ftw!

Priests need their offensive dispells balanced also.

Hopefully, Elemental will get some dmg or survival buffs, they got raped.
