[WotLK] storm, earth, and fire

[Naysayer]

Just noticed they nerfed the lightning bolt spell damage buff from 25% to 10%...

Storm, Earth and Fire changed to: Your Lightning Bolt gains an additional 2/4/6/8/10% of your spell power, your Earth Shock's range is increased by 1 yards and the periodic damage done by your Flame Shock is increased by 10/20/30/40/50%.

This is a gigantic nerf to shaman. Surprised nobody cares, lol.

i feel it's too distant still. Can't say it's a nerf because i never got it in the first place.

It's like having MyAwesomeTalent: "Increases your spell damage by 1000000%" nerfed to "Increases your spell damage by 50000%"
looks like a pretty big nerf, but heh, we can't really relate to it. Personaly i'm not paying too much attention to beta numbers as they move up and down and sideways before they settle a bit.

They also increased the base damage and coefficient of lava burst and added it's reduced cast time to Lightning Mastery. This was done to make it so a rotation is actually better dps than just LB spam. You have to look at all the changes together, rather than one talent/spell at a time.

You do realize that ele shaman are still pulling 2200-2400 dps, rather than the 2100-2500?
