The new EM will make things ALOT harder for EM shamans wich already is a hopeless class for the arena in manny ways.. Theyr building this build fully on pve now so i guess theyr ruling it out of pvp.

Thunderstorm doesnt help much on a singel shaman we know that since.

Death grip is on a shorter cooldown.
Intercept is a shorter cooldown
Shadowstep is on a shorter cooldown or they will just blow sprint,clos to break the kite.

This is just my stupid thinking but:

20% increased critt with 2 second LB's = 1 critt each 10th second right?
30 seconds = 3 critts

Well with the old EM we had 1 critt no matter what.

So now were sitting with 2 extra critts wich would be the same as 1 extra lightning bolt over 30 seconds?

Im sorry im most likey wrong on this since i know people manage to convert critt into flat numbers.
