shifting power from wolves into phys dmg all the time feels like a huge nerf for stormbringer, but im happy that they seem to be pushing elementalist back into playability after completely killing it, just curious how they'll manage to make it work now that ascendance is an actual cd and elementalist doesn't mesh well with asc/dw
Seen a lot of complaining about the changes and I don't know why. The totemic lava lash should be plenty of fun, people forget those lava lash builds do disgusting funnel damage.
Yes and No, Guidance was very powerful especially when you paired it with your bursts, but it was a 2 min and if you miss timed it then youd kinda lose a big heal. With the buff to healing stream we can just drop a totem and forget about it basiclly (Also killable) but it requires a GCD which kinda sucks since were already GCD starved. So its hard to say but i dont think it truelly compensates for the lose yet but we will see once testing begins.
It looks as if they are pushing us towards Elementalist style, instead everyone playing Storm. I have been playing Totemic for the entire season, and it seemed crazy that two hero talents were not even being used. With these changes, Lava Lash will be relevant, indeed Meta, and Fire style builds will open shop once again. It may even stop everyone from taking the Earthsurge bonus and take the crit chance Hero talent instead.
Ya i agree, it does seem like they want to push Lava Lash, but the odd part is, is that Doomwinds is our Teir set so its kinda weird. You could be right about the Earthsurge talent but them adding in how every Lava Lash during Hot Hands is actually going to trigger Earthsurge at 50% its hard to say, but with the nerfs to the surging totem and buffs to Searing Totem you could be correct.
Possible, but also some builds dont even need lavalash if you build it around SS and Ice Strike. So it could potentially work if the 2h actually scales the abilities properly.
@@Sorgol97211 yeah there's that BUT looks like they're shifting the spec forcing elementalist yet again imo.. tier trigger only being doomz kinda sketch but we'll figure a way out man!

Ya, with elementalist we could be looking at just 2 set and not using spenders at all...if they dont do things correctly

would healing stream totem buff be enough to compensate removal of guidance?

Why not just make stormstrike does stormstrike dmg.
Iv been curious about that too, I feel like it would feel better and be easier to balance as well.
