Shaman - Thunderstorm changed to 5 yd

[Drakkun]

From mmo-champion.com the new Thunderstorm talent reads as...

You call down a bolt of lightning, energizing you and damaging nearby enemies within 10 yards. Restores 5% mana to you and deals 595 to 679 Nature damage to all nearby enemies, knocking them back 5 yards.
Instant, 45 sec cooldown

Please read thread carefully, a Blue poster has already confirmed that this was not the intended nerf. - Fur

that's more like... a gentle nudge...

Really? When did the change come in? That would suck. Everyone has a 15 yd KB now, why would shaman have it reduced to to lame it is hard to even notice.

Hunter's pet has 15 yd KB. What is the KB on blast wave? I guess it says that the duid KB is only 5 yd. Still very, very lame. Sad panda.

I was just about to post this, guess you beat me to it. I didn't plan on taking it anyways given my lack of pvp and having a tank for pve but this is a pretty big nerf to the spell.

Edit: Possibly it has a really high arch now as opposed to a long distance? Been checking the beta forums but no blue responses as of yet.

Rats.

Seems to have been a misunderstanding according to the blue-tracker.

[Rowdysattva]

I hope so.

It is beta and so things can go up and down and all around for some time to come still... even after it goes live.

Still haven't decided between TS and NS. :/

I thought my decision was made (due to the "misunderstanding") but I guess not now lol.

[Drakkun]

I can't get to NS no matter how many builds I do. There is just to many talents I want from the elemental tree to stay at 50.

[Naysayer]

Ouch!

They turned it's former usefulness into a simple interrupt. lol 5 yards. What is that, like 7 yards talented?
