Wind damage is currently seperate from nature damage. IE, if something is even slightly resistant to nature damage, it doesn't make a difference. This also means that you can still cast nature spells after being locked out of wind damage, presumably, I haven't verified the second thing and it would be nice if someone could.

This is the spell number for the Enhancement Shaman Ascendance buff in case anyone was wondering what this is.

(Very useful for AddOn/Macro authors)

Comment by Dilbo

Ascendance is back, sort of, but not as good as it was originally when it debuted as a baseline ability in pandaria. Ascendance REQUIRES that you also choose the "tempest" talent to be useful, and for maximum effect, you should avoid popping ascendance until you have a stormbringer proc ready.

If you line it up with stormbringer, you'll get 3 back-to-back wind strikes that each deal close to 1M damage non-crit, more if it does crit. It's a great way to end a healer or any player in PvP, and this is the closest it has been to its original damage dealing capacity.

In pvp, you can macro this with doom winds and heroism (honor talent version with 1 min CD). Doing so will allow you to deal unbelievably high damage in a very short time...maybe some of the best burst in the game by far.

This is a cool talent, but I cannot be the only person disappointed that everyone shares the same human-like body type as an Ascendant.

Let me be a tauren-shaped air ascendant!

Comment by Plaidiator

This needs to get a few glyph options, bad. It would be cool to have a super mode but i just do not want my tauren to suddenly turn into a murloc/skeleton hybrid with a broken back. Cant we just turn into a normal elemental or something. anything would be better, really.
