Elemental Shamans get a (little) buff

[Fat Tire]

We are concerned that
Elemental shaman dps is a little low in patch 3.1. We are going to
hotfix an improved chance for the Lightning Overload talent to cast the
half-damage Lightning Bolt or Chain Lightning. This hotfix should go in
sometime over the next couple of days. The talent currently has a 7 /
13 / 20% chance to proc. The new change will be an 11 / 22 / 33% chance
to proc.

We think this will provide a roughly 5% dps increase for say the
raid-buffed level 80 Elemental shaman, but we will closely monitor the
damage being done after this change. Note that the tooltip of the
talent will not change from this hotfix – the talent will proc 33% of
the time with 3 ranks, even though the tooltip says 20%. We will get
the tooltip updated in a future client patch.
