The Shaman Tier 10 bonus has been redesigned and will no longer reduce the cooldown of Lava Burst or enable Lava Burst to be guaranteed to critical strike without Flame Shock present. Instead successful Lava Burst casts now increase the duration of Flame Shock on the target by 6 seconds.

In the next minor content patch we’re making a change to the tier-10 elemental shaman 4-piece set bonus. In addition to lowering Lava Burst’s cooldown, this bonus also no longer requires Flame Shock to be present in order for Lava Burst to be a guaranteed critical strike.

There comes a time in all shaman’s lives when they must learn to harness the power of nature and wield powerful totems. As they grow in power, so do the opportunities to use these instruments of healing, protection, and destruction. In the upcoming content patch, Call of the Crusade, the shaman will be able to quickly place totems of each element, aiding them in managing these powerful focuses of nature.
We wanted to provide some insight regarding the upcoming shaman-specific interface addition, the Totem Bar.

Q u o t e:
Hey Neth, when the Q&A’s are answered, can as many questions as possible be answered? Even if it’s just a flat out ‘No’ to whatever question is asked, with a little background info on the answer?For example: saying ‘No, you can’t have thunderstorm moved up the ele tree because it enhancement might spec into it.’

I’ll try to make sure we cover as much as possible in them. If we don’t cover them all in the Q&A, I’ll work on at least filling in some of the gaps where I can too afterward.

Q u o t e:every class wants a bump in power.
When you do the Paladin questions, i guarantee all the ret pallies are going to ask for a slow or MS. Every class is going to qq their hearts out to try and get a buff. When in reality paladins are perhaps the strongest overall class in the game.
the reality is that Shamans are the worst healer and and one of the worst dps in almost every situation PvP and PvE. The shamans know it, most of the community knows it, other classes have started asking for shaman buffs.
I just want the downward skid of the shaman class to stop and for our problems to be addressed by people who understand, so this all doesnt sound like endless qq and buff asking.

Q u o t e:
But shaman have had legitimate complaints about simple things like no Ele gear, or tedious totems for a long, long time. Like this stuff goes back to the beginning of BC. Probably further, but I didn’t play a shaman before then. And nothing has been done about it.We get asked for our opinion on totems in the Totems, Totems, Totems thread, and haven’t heard ANYTHING since then, other than totem stomping macros are bad. It honestly seems like a black hole. Info and ideas go in, nothing comes out. Just look at the latest patch notes for shaman, we weren’t even mentioned.
Nethaera wrote:
The latest patch also wasn’t a major patch. It mostly contained fixes and adjustments. The Secrets of Ulduar patch had far more class changes as a result of continuing adjustments being made from the release of Wrath of the Lich King.
I’m not going to share opinions with you very often, I’m sorry if that disappoints you.

Q u o t e:I’m kind of curious about your Shaman experience Neth, have you played a Shaman at all in higher end raiding or arenas? If so, what spec, and did you enjoy it compared other classes you’ve played??
Nethaera wrote:
I have played a Shaman. It is one of my higher level characters. She’s enhancement currently. I enjoy the class. It definitely has a different feel to it. I’m not going to compare it to the other classes, since each of my characters has something about it that I enjoy for the sake of the class.

Q u o t e:leveling an enhancment shaman and end game Shaman are like two different games.
In one, your good, can hold your own, the playstyle is awesome and you can kill things
in the other, you suck, cant hold your own, and are basically a liability to raids and arena when compared to other classes.
You will start to realize that people are only LF priest/druids/someti
mes pallies for everything PvP and PvE Please oh Please, All im asking is that you level up to lvl 80, get geared, step in the arena as any of the three specs and see what you think.
Nethaera wrote:
I’m aware of the differences between what you experience leveling versus end game. 
Believe it or not, I’ve been around a long long time. I like to consider myself smart enough not to assume that my experiences are the same as others, thus one of the many reasons why I’ve been continuing to read and keep tabs on everyone here.
Q u o t e:
one of the blue responses have been directed explicitly at resto sham, there is the question thread of which i have my doubts and will take weeks to answer (neth said that herself) and the ele bug related one.
