Personally, I agree with a lot stated here. I'll toss in this post I made a little while back as my "wishlist" for Dragonflight, or at least the near-ish future. Sort of similar to how several authors suggest splitting the class trees into elements, why not just split the specs into elements outright? Furthermore, several authors suggest the use of Earth-based spells as tank amplifiers - why not just use Earth to make ourselves a tank instead?https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/much-needed-talent-updates-how-about-a-shaman-tank-spec/1223919
I would love to see the Torghast Power (Swirling Maelstrom) become a talent to be able to use it in m+Talent makes it no longer heal targets and just damages enemies in the areaCould keep r.sham relevant in M+ if we had a decent set it and forget it like vesper
bring back tank shaman, give us an earth ascension.
Just realized something here ... wowhead made a rogue wishlist ... rogue was the next to be revealed ... hopefully shaman is next!
I appreciate that I may be in a minority (and as a supremely casual player my opion counts for little anyway), but I got into Legion Enhancement, and 'mained' my Enhance Shammy in BfA, also liking it. The SL rework really turned me off, so the option of returning to something like Legion/BfA via talent trees would kind of feel like a new class for me, something that DF lacks, as the lizard people have no appeal. Picking up my Wildhammer tattooed, Mohawk-crested Shaman again would probably get me back into this whole DF thing.I guess that is what talent trees should do - allow different people to play the same class in genuinely different ways. Not sure the embodiments seen so far are doing that?
Im a simple man, I just want 2h and some neato stormstrike/crash lighting talents.
get rid of Earthquake as an AOE ability....actually get rid of talent trees....give us a few baseline abilities and then put all others in a list and say choose 8, ppl will play how they want and screw balancing. do like the frost dk being able to summon a ghoul....
To everyone wanting Vesper Totem to return, remember that we would be getting JUST vesper totem and not the legendary effect of it. The legendary effect completely carried the damage of this ability, without it it’s an incredibly mediocre ability and you’d be better off with something like Chain Harvest anyway. Neither dps spec played it either, which further hurts its chances at coming back
Ya know what I want? To have some totems I actually use outside of incredibly niche utility. I only ever made a shaman in Cata because the Goblins had such cool looking totems and now they're all but completely gone.
Edit: Complete rework of my comment. Elemental problems:
Honestly, one of the main things I want for Elemental shamans is more and better consistent single target Dps. Ele shamans have no burst cds compared to other classes so our single target dmg kinda lacks compared to others.Also it would be nice to have a bit more utilities that can help the group out more
While I don't agree on some of those things I do wish you luck. After the complete dumpster fire trees that the hunters received, especially surv, and the poor feral druids as well suffering greatly, I suggest don't hold your breath.
All I want is chain harvest to return for Enhancement, thats my only wishlist item lmao
I agree with MongYii about the Ascendence model - I remember in Frostfire, there was one of those shrines that gave buffs that when clicked your character rose into the air, surrounded by wind and rocks, I always thought that was a far better idea for Ascendence than that weird figure that we currently turn into
