LOL, free AP for ALL spells below 20% HP.....
Uh better then AP, still the same manacosts......
I smell a elemental-build here
Arcane is IMBA already, but with this great firetalents (also for frost), makes me spend more time at the calc.

still says spell dmg on the shaman spell page. =) hope they keep it that way.Fenz wrote: Elemental

will talents and spells have +% instead of rateing or how will that work?
I still see % based buffs in talents but they scrapped it on items in favour of rateing?
or have they just not updated the tooltip on talents/spells to prevent early theory crafting?

it used to have 10% an now they've "fixed" it...
so we get moonkin aura as 41 pointer
the one you are thinking of, gorlom, is Wrath of Air Totem which gives 101 spelldmg
To be honest, the Totem of Wrath is more powerful now then it was earlier 
We can deploy the Wrath totem and still heal, for instance, while Moonkin form... well... yeah. Good luck.
The first incarnation of the Totem of Wrath was very good for adding burst dps but if you calculate the total % added over time it was even shittier then the 3% the Totem is now.

Dear god no, wouldn't dream of belittleling the YARLY form - it's just that with a Totem of Wrath down a shaman has the basic functionality of the yarly with the option of moving away and/or healing while having it down
Heck, maybe even priests and shaman like the Wrath totem for healing purposes since it'll help proc Inspiration/Ancestral.
