Class Changes:

Shaman

Elemental and Enhancement both have struggles in PvE that can be addressed somewhat easily. Restoration is pretty solid in vanilla, but its talent tree leaves a lot to be desired — something to keep in mind for the future.

Changes to Baseline Spells

Stormstrike has 2 ranks now.
New Rank 2 learnable at level 60.
Cooldown is 12 seconds as opposed to the 20 seconds of Rank 1.
Costs 12% of your base Mana as opposed to 21% of your base Mana with Rank 1.

New Abilities

Calm Elements

Calms the target, reducing the range at which it will attack you by 10 yards. Only affects Elemental targets level 70 or lower. Lasts 15 sec.

Water Shield

The caster is surrounded by 3 globes of water. When a spell, melee or ranged attack hits the caster, 83 mana is restored to the caster. This expends one water globe. Only one globe will activate every few seconds. Lasts 10 min. Only one elemental shield can be active on the Shaman at any one time.

Earth Shield

The caster is surrounded by an earthen shield, giving a 30% chance of ignoring spell interruption when damaged and causing attacks to heal the shielded target by 150. This effect can only occur once every few seconds. 3 charges. Lasts 10 min. Only one elemental shield can be active on the Shaman at any one time.

Totemic Recall

Returns your totems to the earth, giving you 25% of the mana required to cast each totem destroyed by Totemic Call.
