Hero talents are all cool and all. But can the Spec tree and the fact that shaman DEFENSIVES are absolutely terrible get some help?
This is easily the most exciting tree so far. It fits the name of the hero class and I can really see it changing my playstyle to accommodate it. I play Ele/Resto and this is for sure going to be my Resto pick. I like how you can carom chain heals off your totems, and that it rewards you for picking more totems in the class tree. Very excited!
Kinda cool. I like resto but I hate to perma cast healing rain, an instant with longer CD might help my fun in raid
Enhance gets Totemic instead of Farseer? Why do the devs hate Elemental
No Vesper Totem makes me sad.
Instant cast healing rain... beautiful, finally. Not gonna lie Totem for resto seems super good
This tree is so much better than Stormbringer for Enhancement. I love it
for elemental-build Enhancement this actually looks sickI saw Stormbringer and got pretty worried but I'm glad Enh is gettin the Juice
the party/raid WF passive aura should be standard Shaman thing not locked behind totemic... get rid of WF totem and make this passive normal thing for Enh shaman. Same goes for that wolf-dash-attack that is locked behind talent tree... slap is as basic ability ffs
I like stormbringer more thematically for enhancement, but totemic definitely has a cool more active dynamic, at least with its main ability.Tuning will determine a lot, but in terms of play style it seems one is for the more proc-reactive enhancement players while the other is for a more active engagement. Enhancement was pretty lucky coming out of the df talent rework since we had both the elementalist and storm builds that were generally viable (not strictly min-max) with single target and aoe options. Really hope this trend continues with the spec talent trees and the hero talents. I have faith in the elements they will
Unless they move a lot of the talent tree around, and the values of the NYI stuff in this tree are way overtuned, Stormbringer just has better throughput and viability in both ST and AoE scenarios. It's unfortunate because the Stormbringer tree kind of hard locks the spec into the DRE playstyle and gambling MORE lightning bolt damage but looking at Totemic with the current state of the spec, this tree is having a huge identity crises for Enhance.Edit: The main thing I'm looking at with Totemic that MIGHT save it is the fact Surging totem is on a 20 second(?) CD. But it also says it replaces Windfury Totem so I'm assuming you MUST spec into it which forces X number of talent points to be spent strictly for the playability of this tree.
The fact it replaces windfury totem is a complete win here for Enh - its now a button that "does something" rather than a maintenance button for your buddies.
make windfury totem passive raid wide please.
