lol elemental mastery.

[Sina]

Elemental Mastery no longer shares a cooldown with Nature's Swiftness and now also increases your Fire, Frost, and Nature damage by 15% for the duration of the spell.

why lol?

Looks like a nice buff to EM 8)

[Zappy]

Unfortunately, you won't have enough points to get both ele mastery and nature's swiftness. After I saw that listed on MMOchamp, i got excited until I tried to build some talents.

I personly dont like they force everyone to use 31 talents in primorary spec, everyone will be identical. but on the other hand it would also be sick if we could have both EM and NS

I dont even see why they changed this, not like it matters at all because you cant have both no matter what so whats the point of taking them off shared cooldown

feel free to inspect most players .. it's not like they are not identical atm (besides a few classes)

I have to disagree

I've always had slightly different specs then other people. Because i don't spec into what's theoretically best, but what i like best to play with. So yes, i'm against the talentrevamp.

Thats the exception that confirms the rule tmho. It's not because you have an odd spec that my statement ain't true (which was a reply to 'everyone will be the same'). As boxers we can share certain talents among toons to have max benefit. Though if you were to play solo it's not like you have much choice as an elemental shaman (pve wise). And on top of that, many players have more or less the same gear.

I prefer my freedom to talent how i want as well. Reality is however that i (and most players) use a cookie cutter build.

I agree, the days of those scary arena builds of old (that totally crazy: mortal strike, last stand, howl thing) are dead. I really enjoy "power infusion / misery / t10 mindflay spam" for example, and multiboxing I have that latitude that I am not going to get gkicked for having that.

But I think that perhaps simplification and homogenization will lead to less imbalance issues, and hopefully less 'pve it does this, in pvp it does this' stuff.

I actually mainly ment my feral druid. Since i used to tank, dps(kitty) and pvp with 1 spec. I just filled it how i like it. And other people would always have a few talents different. On the shaman i have always have 3/3 Unrelenting storm because i hate going oom. Plenty of people who don't have it.

In whatever paper blizzard tries to wrap the new trees, talking about less cookie cutter. It's obvious that you simply have less choice.
