MoP Elemental Shaman PvP

I never use chain heal anymore. When I heal I just cast 5x healing rains on myself. If there's melee on me I throw in 5x earthquakes too.

Lava beam??? Oh hell yes!

Only time I touch chain heal is if I'm spiritwalker graced and need a quick heal... which is extremely rare. I'm thinking more towards the future, with the horrible change to healing stream & the loss of GHW I was sincerely hoping for a little boost to chain heal - however, it heals for the same craptacular amount and has a forever casting time. Regardless, it's not even available in our spec.

I was excited about the lvl 90 talents - but I'm kind of meh now. Cone of fury looks promising, but the extra effect imbues may be worth taking (25% extra damage taken from LVB and LB, yes please... especially combined with Ascendance).

Forgot: Healing Surge healing was reduced so the Clearcasting "buff" puts it back to the level we see in live (same with the MSW glyph).

with the horrible change to healing stream .

What makes you think it's a horrible change? I find it pretty awesome tbh, it's going to act like wild growth the way I understand it. And if you play 4 ele you can have 2 up all the time (30s CD, 15s duration).

Ticks every 2 seconds for ~7k right now, however, only on 1 person. Also, it's raid wide, so there's no guarantee the tick will happen on your group, just the person with the lowest % of health. 15 second duration, 30 second recast... i doubt anyone is going to stagger them and eat 2 gcd and/or get the timing right in the middle of a fight.

Sounds like you're thinking of Healing TIDE totem, which is the lvl 75 talent. It's a 10 second totem with a 3 minute recast... which will be a very nice emergency heal, I agree, but the recast is far too long in it's current form compared to Ancestral Guidance, imho.

Ellie sham burst is going to be out the wazu it seems. Default dmg crit of 250%, UE with UF adds 75% to this (should be multiplicative) for lava burst which will then crit for 437.5% of noncrit... Grab flame ascendancy and you can spam this baby, glyph it and it will only hit for 415ish percent but you can switch to non flame shocked targets.

Need to find out more about lava beams.

Well I personally don't mind this change at all. It will heal where it's most necessary in arena / your dungeon, which I prefer over a passive groupwide overheal. And you seem to be afraid that it will heal your raid members (in a BG for example). Well not sure how your situation is, but most of the time my guys end up in different groups, meaning that all your shamans will benefit from it, so basically that has both a + and a -.
