Cuz Mages are the only ones who should have PoM Pyro, right? :P

Apart from loss of burst damage, there are 3 real problems I see with this nerf:

1. NS heal being locked out for 10 secs after an EM LB/CL - maybe not so much a problem for Arena's, but more so for BG's and world PvP

2. Big reduction in ability to shut down runners / kiters, esp if they are outside of shock range

3. EM now has a much greater window to be purged/dispelled.

I understand Ellay being able to get away with not using the EM/NS combo, probably becuase past a certain level of gear it becomes less important. But this was a great way for undergeared shams to compensate for their lack of gear. If this change goes through, I can see gearing up in Arena's will be a lot more painful...

Anyway, lets wait until patch day to see if this makes it through. There's already a massive shitstorm brewing on the Shaman forums...



Cheers,
