The Shamanism talent has been increased for Lightning Bolt from 10% to 15%. Lava Burst is staying at 20%.

Blizz has confirmed that the set bonus on T8 will not be changed.  Also, they are not lowering the overall damage of Flame Shock after all, but increasing the duration by 6 seconds (2 more ticks).

Huzzah!

It’s been awhile since we’ve had some major Ele Shammy changes. The new PTR build has a couple notable changes that I’m looking forward to.

• Flame Shock now deals 834 Fire damage over 18 sec at max rank. (Up from 556 fire damage over 12 sec) Lower ranks increased accordingly.
• Lava Burst no longer consumes Flame Shock.

Currently the Glyph of Flame Shock makes it last 18 seconds and prevents it from being consumed by Lava Burst. This glyph is being changed to allow your Flame Shock ticks to be critical strikes. Now, what’s interesting is that this change is already accomplished by the T8 2-set bonus.  I imagine that the set bonus will not change, and will not stack. This allows you to either use Glyph of Lava, if you are still in T8, or switch to the new Glyph of Flame Shock, if you are in almost full T9.

Good news is we got a new server and everything is up and running! Bad news is I didn’t properly back up my posts, so I have to add them again using old Google caches (thanks Google!).

I’ve restored some of it, but basically anything posted after October 2008 was gone, even comments.

For those of you who know me, I don’t make a very good Blogger, and usually if I write something long that’s worth reading I spend quite a bit of time on it.

Therefore, if any of you are interested in being an Editor here, go ahead and sign up and I’ll get in touch with you. It can be used just to discuss WoW or any number of games you may be interested in. Perhaps you just want to vent about something in the PC Gaming world that bothers you?

I will probably list WoW Patch Notes here with my input on them. For example, today I could discuss the Vivendi/Activision merger and how it will affect WoW, but I really don’t care about the merger personally and there are plenty of blogs out there tracking Blizzard’s every move.

This is simply so I can get everything up and running with proper copyright notices, a more in-depth style, and a way to have links to important websites for me.
