the moment any melee hits/traps you, your dead

the patch makes that easier, at least vs warriors with the root effect on earthbind. to make it easier you could take the talent in enhancement for frost nova effect on frost shock if they're at least 15y away from you. those 2 combined with the stun from fire nova made it pretty simple for me atleast on ptr. they still managed to run over me a few times with large crits though. because mandra doesn't have much of a pvp set to speak of :P

true but, you are missing out of some really nice talents then. thunderstorm for instance.

drop and EB and then thunderstorm, the moment they are back in your range, they are trapped and you can use it whilled stunned now. or just frostshock afterwards and trinket out of the moment slowing effect if you still have it

i didn't try dueling other melee classes much but vs warriors thunderstorm wasn't really needed when you had so great cc as you have with a spec i used. it's more like you sacrifice burst for survival but i can see how you'd need thunderstorm for classes like death knights when they death grip you.

there are imo 2 ways to approach the way shamans heal, Chain heal or lhw/HW. he chooses LHW like me but i will never take nature's guardian.

nice link though

They're going to do one for each class as I understand it.

I look forward to what they have to say about the future of Holy and Retri paladins.

my guess is a slight change to holy paladins with some kind of funny rotation involved, a buff that is!

retris i dont know, dont know how much vindication nerf did, havent played arena since. any one knows?

Chain Heal range on PTRs

We changed the number 8 on the Chain Heal spell to a 10. I am pretty sure whatever bugs WoW might have would not make these two numbers the same. So however you are measuring the range on live, it is 2 yards higher on the PTR.
