Eyonix made a post in the US General forum of WoW.com.
I guess there's light at the end of the tunnel afterall.
There was a post made earlier by a player dissatisfied with the current state of the Shaman pertaining to talent options. The player deleted the post before I had a chance to reply. In any case, below is what I was writing for him, and other Shamans who feel similar.
I realize that words are poor consolation to immediate promise of specific game design change. However, we will be conducting a comprehensive review of Shaman talents shortly after we're done with the Mage. Many of the Shaman talents aren't as useful as we'd like them to be, and we plan to make a number of improvements for all three trees. It's likely that I'll be the one to communicate such change with the Shaman community. I've already relayed a great deal of feedback from the Shaman boards, and included my own - as I've logged numerous hours into my Shaman, and have experimented with a variety of builds.
