Patch 4.06 yea or nay

So the chages for elemental shamans 4.06 are

  1. Earthquake damage has been increased by approximately 10%

  2. Elemental Overload(Mastery) procs of Lightning Bolt or Chain Lightining can now generate Rolling Thunder Charges.

  3. Lava Burst´s damage has been increased by roughly 10%

All the changes where very needed since shamans generally did fall behind in dps on most fights in raids.From what it looks like mastery is even better now then i was pre-patch.

I haven´t tried out how big the dps increase is but as soon as i do that ill post further comments on the changes.


Glyph of Hex now reduces the cooldown by 10 seconds, down from 15 sec (Why o blizzard why)


Purge now dispels a single effect instead of two. (Nerfed, should have the same effect as Mass Dispell, target the most powerful magic effect first)


Tremor Totem has been redesigned. The totem is now usable under Fear, Charm, or Sleep effects, and pulses much more rapidly, but lasts 6 seconds and has a 1-minute cooldown.(This is in my opinion a nerf because of the CD it has, totems are still one-shoted so as soon as u get this down it gonna be meleed down)


Spiritwalker’s Grace duration has been increased to 15 seconds, up from 10.(Very very needed buff for mobility damage)

Where the story begins

My story begins on Eonar Eu Alliance. I started playing wow in 2008 and played a rogue. The DPS was there but the satisfaction wasn´t . So i decided to reroll, after plenty of reading thinking i rolled a Shaman , since im polish i named him Gosc and from late 2008, early 2009 im playing him as my main. I tried playing resto, encha, and elem.Currently im stuck with elemental since ranged is more desirable then melee atleast in my guild:S

This is going to be a blog of laughter, crying and how to play shaman and of course patch QQing(if needed ;-p )
