In the current version of patch 2.3.2 we added a 30 second cooldown to earth shield and lowered the mana cost by approximately 50%. We have decided to temporarily revert both of these changes until we address the dispel issue, which will likely be for patch 2.4.

In short, earth shield will not be changed in patch 2.3.2.

First! Thank you, Eyonix. THIS is communication.

Will the dispel issue also be addressed for Shamanistic Rage?

who's going to make the cake when i'm gone, you?

that's it, i'm done reasoning with you.
starting now there's going to be a lot less conversation and a lot more killing.

Great news, now lets get some dispel resistance for shaman 41 point talents!

Either that or a penalty for dispelling, like UA or lifebloom.

You have no idea how much of a storm blizzard just avoided. Well put on hold, we will see how this turns out.

Well at least water shield is (finally) on par with all the tBC skills like icelance etc.

I think it's a bad idea to actually post "2.4", because you know if we don't get it by 2.4, there's going to be another outrage here :P

Q u o t e:
Can you tell the devs we're fine, as a class, completely fine, and we don't need ANY changes? Honestly, every change ends up carrying equivalent nerfs. Even if we are weak in arena, I always have been one to start the game on hard mode.

They can even revert back to 900 mana earth shield. Just...tell them not to touch anything.

Well, I can only speak for resto. I hear enhancement still has a problem with a 41 pt talent that is easily dispellable and has a cooldown...


Its better to deal with the evil you know then the evil you don't.

Ill stay with my current issues :)

sigh, another massive joke... seriously, nerf the hell out our primary abilities, call it a buff, when people figure out it is actually a huge nerf, then unnerf, and call it a buff?

Get out of the shaman forums, you bring nothing but lies, ignorance, and anger. Stop treating my class like a 2 year old.

Good

Prepare for unforeseen consequences
And when no shaman are left to speak out for the class, the illusion that the class is fine will be complete.
The cake is a lie
