lol

[Tyveris]

Updated shaman buffs. WTF.

[Speedo]

Holy shit. didnt they learn anything when they buffed hunters so hard?

[Virsath]

The FT change is so ridiculous, I'm laughing.

Shamans need something, don't get me wrong, but WTF!?

[Brak]

Really helps Shaman/Warrior in 2v2 against druids imo, lol.

Both targets get MS like effect, so target switching is easier, and hots won't get the ignored target back to full as easily.

[Sinnum]

As a priest, I've broken down on the inside and will be even more scared of enh shamans next patch.

[Akagar]

WTF

ugh, where are the feral/ret MS buffs? Sigh.

this should require main-hand

[Irishrover]

Shaman warrior ftw

[Fierss]

They could have at least made it part of stormstrike instead of giving it to all shaman. Jesus fucking christ that's dumb.

[Disaster]

wait...so ALL shaman are getting MS effect and movement impair reduction? WTF

[frst]

wait...so ALL shaman are getting MS effect and movement impair reduction? WTF

only enhancement shaman will get the movement impair reduction

[Neuromancer]

The screenshot isn't very clear on how it works imo. Can anyone confirm if it works like MS, reducing healing effects by 50% or if it reduces healing done or +heal on your target by 50%?

[Emcl]

thank god i'm already collecting enh set :)

RET PALLY/ENH SHAMAN/DRUID NEW FOTM

[Etzuo]

aye they should have it set to a skill like stormstrike or something so not every restoshaman/elemental can run around throwing an easily refreshable MS on everything..hunters/war at least have to spend talents to get it annnd hunters have to cast for 3 seconds with horrible pushback to cast it.. i rather just wingclip it on or something :p


toughness was def. needed though imo.

[Cloudeh]

Does this also apply to Flametongue Weapon Totem? (So every class can now MS if teamed with a Shaman?)

[Brumak]

Im glad shamans cant WF someone down from 100% to 50%.
Oh, nvm

Updated, now in the official patch notes it affects the totem.

[Wildo]

They don't know how to fix the Mind Vision bug that interrupts drinking, so they take it out of arenas entirely. Fun.

WTB SHAMAN FOR MY TEAMS BTW
