Group buffing talents like Totem of Wrath and Elemental Oath are over-valued in the Shaman talent tree. Example: They perform the same function to the raid as Curse of Elements (DPS multiplier), but Warlocks pay no spreadsheet value for having that core ability -- and instead are able to focus their talent tree on personal DPS. In WotLK, where all classes are supposed to be roughly equal, this leaves Elemental Shaman in a talent value deficit compared to other classes.
Refocus one or more talents to help the Shaman personal DPS scale on par with other classes. This lack of gear/group scaling combined with an over-valuing of non-unique group buffs is why Shaman look good solo, but end up puzzlingly low in DPS in Naxx 25 raids and gear.
Storm, Earth and Fire seems like the most logical place to put an Elemental talent that differentiates deep Elemental spec from Hybrid or Restoration spec. Changes that would overcome the lack of personal DPS scaling:
a. Focus the talent down to something that differentiates Elemental Shaman. Faster Chain Lightning CDs isn't it, and neither is Flame Shock anything.
b. Make the talent something similar to what other casters have, but with a unique twist designed to bring our the uniqueness in Elemental Shaman.
c. Basically, this is a talent that every Elemental Shaman should want. It should not be possible to do what I did in those tests -- completely ignore all the "key" Elemental talents (ToW, EO and SE&F) and still get the same DPS results just because I grouped with "standard-spec" Shaman. SE&F should be the crown of the Shaman talent tree, and a Shaman without it shouldn't be King.
suggestions:
Storm, Earth and Fire: Increases your spell critical damage bonus on Lightning Bolt and Lava Burst by 4/8/12/16/20%.
Why it works: Shaman have always been designed around burst damage. With the lowering of our spell power coefficient from 85.7% to 71.4%, the introduction of Resilience, and the loss of Stormstrike as a usable debuff, Elemental Shaman need some help to make their class feel the way it was designed to feel -- a bursty class that might lack things other casters have in PvP (escapes, controls), but is nevertheless dangerous when it does get free to cast.
Storm, Earth and Fire: When you critically hit with your Lava Burst spell, the damage done by your Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning spells is increased by 2/4/6/8/10%. Lasts 12 seconds.
Why it works: This gives a great incentive to Elemental Shaman to include Lava Burst into their rotation, without Blizzard having to "tell" the players how to talent or play and if for some reason you feel the irresistible urge to put something "earthy" into the talent -- "your earth totems receive and additional 1/2/3/4/5% of your total health."
Thanks for your time, and I hope we may finally grasp them in our hands.
