• Mana Spring Totem effect increased. The highest level is now 20mana per 2 seconds


• Frost Shock is no longer subject to diminishing returns.


• Lightning Overload (Elemental) now has a 4/8/12/16/20% chance to occur and the additional spell causes half damage and no additional threat.


• Lightning Bolt cast time reduced to 2.5 (from 3.0 where applicable), mana costs reduced, benefit from spell damage reduced appropriately.


• Chain Lightning cast time reduced to 2.0 (from 2.5), mana costs reduced, benefit from spell damage reduced appropriately.


• Lightning Mastery (Elemental) cast time reduction reduced to .1/.2/.3/.4/.5 seconds.

• Water Shield: This spell no longer costs any mana to cast and its duration has been shortened. At the end of its duration it now grants mana for any remaining globes. In addition, the mana granted per globe has been substantially increased.


• Tidefury Raiment: The additional mana granted to Water Shield by this set has been increased.


• Totem of the Thunderhead: The additional mana granted to Water Shield by this totem has been increased.


• Mental Quickness now also increases spell damage and healing equal to 10/20/30% of your attack power.

No i co nasi gildiowi szamani na ten temat myślą?
Zaczynam się zastanawiac nad buildem elemental... Dość mocno go zepsują w tym patch'u, enhancement zaś będzie się lepiej spisywał w PvE, ale znów podobno nie nadaje się do PvP. Z plusów to zmiany Water Shield, 2H jako skill...

A ogólnie chodzi o to, czy jeśli bede już ten elemental, to czy będziecie mnie chcieli na ewentualnych raidy zabierać ;-)
