THUNDERTSORM! ( video)

[Lyonheart]

Here it is! Not a great qual vid but just wanted you shaman to see whats in store. The way it works now is an instant cast AE around caster type spell. No ground targeting as some of us feared !! round robin this or just do it x4 or 5! Its going to be a great way to get melee out of our face. Or if a DK pulls you to his group.. use this and an earthbind to get back to your crew!

THUNDERTSORM!!!

[Naysayer]

Damnit. I didn't even know it was instant cast...

I'm going to be more afraid of shaman than fear bombs and rogues now. I can just see it now. Every damn shaman I come across heading straight for the middle of my 5 and blasting them away. Thunderstorm is awesomeness. May have to roll shaman instead of warlocks.

A 45 sec cooldown, omfg. You could keep melee off of you almost permanently with a 5shaman team.

Well I was thinking about it. From a single shaman PoV its not too overpowered. But X4 or 5 it just might be. But I guess not any more OP than warlocks round robin fear. or priests. But if it stays with no casting time..no ground targetting..same 45 sec cooldown. ill be happy reading all the QQs 8) I just have a gut feeling it wont stay as is.

insane!!! :O that's going to be awesome for your quad/quince multiboxers (shaman)

Keep in mind, though, that this will add a fairly significant AoE interrupt to the things we can expect to see used _against_ us as well. Granted, as I mentioned elsewhere, if we're still facing them, they just kited themselves (lol). I can also see much griefing with this. I mean, didn't they learn their lesson with AV snowballs?

Also, I'm not sure that this is going to be the worst of it for us. That "force pull" ability that DKs get can be awfully annoying if you don't stop your alts. :P

Ever since i first saw the talent listed/leaked from wotlk, I've been wondering:
If you use multiple Thunderstorm's at the same time (i.e. multiboxing without castsequence), will the knockback effect stack?
I doubt it will, but if it did it would be interesting if they'd fly 4-5 times as far XD

But in general, they have indeed added an entire knockback system, and you will see knockbacks happen in several places.

With the force pull can you imagine singling out targets from around the pillars.

"get the priest!"
*deathknight peeks his head out for just a second and force pulls priest into his group of 5 and they beat him up behind the pillar*

LOL...true. Depends on how much you can abuse LOS with that spell. :P I can foresee people doing some crazy shit with it, that's for sure.

[Littleburst]

That looks damn epic lol

Can't wait to get that!
