NEW TALENTS better than you think

[Ogloo]

OK, so think of this, say you are multiboxing with 5 shamans.. and you have this new spell called frozen power.. Which freezes the target for 5 seconds.. from 15+ feet away... Now this doesnt look so hot, untill you notice that there is a thing called round robin.. This only shoots this on one toon then the next.. next.. and so on every time you press it.. So, essentially you could click this on a pvp target 5 times every 5 seconds to have them frozen for 5seconds x 5 which is 25 seconds.. and that well = dead. This will help alot in the multiboxing world, and I cant wait to go out and do it. Also, the talent that reduces the CD of frost shock (which freezes them) willl help you get more of these off.. This would create a constant hold on someone because all the CD will be up before the person can get it.. Now for arena you could select different people to freeze the team and do some huge chain lighting to pawn em up.
Hear are the main things I think will benifet mutliboxers
Shaman:

* Bloodlust/Heroism: Cooldown reduced to 5 minutes, but Sated and Exhausted now last 10 minutes.
* Poison Cleansing Totem and Disease Cleansing Totem have been merged into "Cleansing Totem." Cleansing Totem pulses every 3 sec, down from 5

Enhancement
* New Talent: Frozen Power: Increases the damage done by your Frostbrand Weapon if it is enchanted on your main-hand weapon by 10/20%, and your Frost Shock has a 50/100% chance to root the target in Ice for 5 sec. when used on targets at or further than 15 yards from you.
* Toughness: No longer increases your armor. Instead, this talent now increases your total Stamina by 2/4/6/8/10%.

Elemental

* New Talent: Booming Echoes- Reduces the cooldown of your Flame Shock and Frost Shock spells by an additional 1/2 sec., and increases the direct damage done by your Flame Shock and Frost Shock spells by an additional 10/20%.

That's so cool! I wanna read up on these, but I have to get ready for work.
You could round robin it, or even have your cast macros set to:
/castsequence [target=focus] reset=6 frost shock,,,,
/castsequence [target=focus] reset=6 ,frost shock,,,
/castsequence [target=focus] reset=6 ,,frost shock,,
/castsequence [target=focus] reset=6 ,,,frost shock,
/castsequence [target=focus] reset=6 ,,,,frost shock

But the only weakness I can imagine (from what we've seen in the past) is since you're talking arenas, there will probably be diminishing returns like with any crowd control measure. After one application it'll probably cut the duration of the immobilization in half, and after 3 they'll probably be immune for about 15 seconds. So get whatever you need to get done done in those first few hits!

Sated on BL = 10mins, wtf why? I dont play my shamans much anymore, but Im kinda meh about these buffs.

[Bigfish]

The Blood lust hit seems moderately annoying, but I guess I'm not affected with my just one shaman anyway.

[Hachoo]

The sated change is a HORRIBLE nerf for PvE.

These days I generally hit each boss while still having around a minute left on sated. I can choose to either wait for sated to end and then use bloodlust on the next boss, or just fight the next boss without bloodlust.

Looks like after 3.1 I'll only be using bloodlust on every other boss (fortunately I don't need BL to beat any bosses at this point but still, this is lame as hell).

/castsequence [target=focus] reset=6 frost shock,,,,
/castsequence [target=focus] reset=6 ,frost shock,,,
/castsequence [target=focus] reset=6 ,,frost shock,,
/castsequence [target=focus] reset=6 ,,,frost shock,
/castsequence [target=focus] reset=6 ,,,,frost shock

That's how I do my thunderstorm, really handy to keep melee away from your group. That bloodlust thing I think is a major nerf. That sucks, especially since I'm using it every boss fight

[magwo]

Very meh tbh. The only good things are:
Glyph of TS reduces CD.
Toughness somewhat more useful.

[Ogloo]

Yeh, sadly that is a debuff for pve, but its great for pvp! because u can maybe have 3 shamans with thunderstorm and 2 with the freeze so that u can kick them back then freeze them

[Leon]

I'll happily take a Nerf to BL to get Improved Stormstrike and Cleansing Totems

I'm forever dropping the wrong dam totem for what is needed, mana regen for my opener and subsequent damage booster yes please
Toughness will just be nice for more health and the reduced threat for sprit weapons makes me think about giving my Slave Elemental shaman a deep visit to the Enhancement tree (thinking 50/21)

[Kaynin]

I hate to burst peoples bubble, but Frost Shock freeze effect has diminishing returns.

This buff is kinda nice for a solo-shaman player in pvp. (In my opinion still not enough to gap the bridge with the other classes though.)

But for multiboxers I see no practical application in this.
