Mana Spring Totem and Healing Stream Totem possibly not merging!

[Lyonheart]

I don't think what they are doing is smart, from a business perspective. I would really love to see how many actual multi-boxers there are, and how many are shaman teams. There was nothing "bad" about how they worked before. Totem stacking was only "OP" somewhat when multiboxing. But if they continue to nerf the effectiveness of shaman teams, I'm sure its going to cost them a lot of money. But I'm sure they don't care with the millions they make every month.

You would think they do care about money, I mean they are always coming up with new ways to bring in extra profit like RaF, paid char moves, name changes ect. Oh well 8\

If thats not a DIRECT slam at multiboxers, I don't know what it.

They are outright attacking the Paladin / Shaman synergy. Mana Spring and Wisdom now share the same "buff" slot?

Sad day.

That's the first thing I thought of when I read the news on the paladin/shaman buffs being exclusive of each other. Just wait until they drop the 13% spell damage modifier from DKs Ebon Plaguebringer... and they will have made our lives THAT much more enjoyable.

Theyve been removing stacking for a while now, i think suggesting that anything beyond messing with /follow would be a nerf to MBers is a little /tinfoil hat to me, but thats my opinion...

im more upset by the fact that they teased us with "we might merge healing stream and mana spring together" and then instead of that fun buff they instead nerfed them through this stacking block. Im cool wtih the change, just still merge it with healing stream please.

Tbh mana regen have been out of control for way to long, before tbc people actually took a look on theyr mana bars and healed smarter.

Blizzard have to take most of the blame thought.

Taking away downranking most likley killed most of the uniqe ways of healing.

Now EVERYONE use the same spec,rotation,buffs,gear,talents.

Everything that once were uniqe is now gone.

WOW you finally got that deadly gladiator pice, well grats there are 200k others who got it just the same way. Same spec,rotation,buffs,gear,talents and even the same class for arena partner. Even they share the same spec etc etc etc...

Huge nerf to tank+4shaman PVE teams, healing stream totem was a massive pulsing heal (700-1k hp/tick dep on glyphs etc), it'll drop down to 200 hp/tick which sucks.

Also mana regen in combat and ooc get nerfed in 3.1, so don't be too sure about "lol i never run out of mana", you may in 3.1...

3.1 so far feels like a downer of a patch, every class almost is getting nerfed or mechanics changed to make it slightly more unfun. Ulduar is also crazy hard so far, the first fight alone is a really fun but difficult vehicle combat fight (done it on PTR, gonna be insane to try and multibox). The sixth boss is just nuts, two hands and a body and the boss hits for 20-30k a swing on 40k hp tanks.

You're freaking me out, whats the healing stream nerf? I mustve missed something? As far as I can tell that just says that mana spring wont stack with BOW, doesnt mention healing stream does it?

This is why I have 5 of every class type. When they nerf me, I just move onto the next.

Although, I never have been very intersted in my Shaman team. Not sure why........they just don't seem as much fun as my DK's or pallies.

The only totem change I really care about is that I want to be able to DESTROY my damn totems.

Ya know, the 4 bank slots that are replaced by the totem I have equiped on my paperdoll?

Why can't you destroy totems if you have a relic equipped?

[Multibocks]

They are protected from destroying, but should no longer be that way. Something they havent bothered to revisit.

[Jubber]

oh ok.. lol I guess I didn't ever recall keeping them in my bank.. will have to go take a look. it's been a while since I played my shaman team. I used to hate carrying them in my bags until I got my first relic. Then it was nice to get rid of them. lol. Guess they probably are still in my bank.
