So not only are they getting rid of gust of wind, but they're nerfing ghost wolf's movement speed boost by 10% and axing the run speed immunity, but now they're placing earth shield in the same talent row as ghost wolf? Talk about kicking a class when its down, good god Blizzard. The defensive ability might be a little nice, but it doesn't help the limited mobility elemental shaman already have, doubly so in Battle of Azeroth.

Cannot get over how excited I am for paladin in BFA. Every day since I saw the new talents I find myself becoming excited just thinking about getting HoW back and no more judgment window and options that aren't crusade in the last row.. everything looks fantastic so far. The ONLY thing that could increase my level of excitement for ret in BFA is if some talents were made baseline, like consecration and ESPECIALLY crusade.

omfg thank you jesus.  Judgement window buff was fucking horrible. 

They keep this up i'm not changing to an alt.

 

Indeed, the current mastery is very clunky.

ugh. putting so many great talents that really make shaman fun to play in the same line... echo of elements and elemental blast  and icefury together,  stormkeeper and acendence... also no gust of wind anymore?

Blizzard: "We really hate homogenization, just like you guys!"

Also Blizzard: "We changed the Retribution mastery to a simple damage stat for a certain element like most other DPS specs for other classes."

 

 

Yes, I think the old mastery was shit, but you can't get less creative than this.

While this is better than the last ele shaman iteration(slightly) I still think they need to split echo and elemental blast. this is an example where in most cases for ST one is just going to be better.

-Righteous Verdict, because the other two options suck.

-Hammer of Wrath, only if taking Crusade; otherwise, take Blade of Wrath.

-Situational.

-Divine Vengeance if 3+ targets, otherwise... need more data for single target option.

-Situational, but EfaE is likely the best choice.

-Judgement of Light, if the raid doesn't already have it, otherwise Word of Glory to help out with group healing during nasty mechanics or Justicar's Vengeance as a self-heal, since holy damage is being buffed through mastery.

-Crusade, only if you're taking Hammer of Wrath, otherwise Inquisition is better.

 

Sound about right?

They should have take back the Spiritwalker's Grace for Ele, that was pretty nice, good mobility, no DPS loss...

      Here's how you can upgrade your legendary weapons in Dragonflight Season 4 next week!
      This one is for Fyr'alath and Nasz'uro owners. You must first farm 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. However, you can only acquire 1 Antique Bronze Bullion per week from Awakened Raid bosses. The bullion will drop in Raid Finder difficulty too.
      Next week, the cap will be raised to 2 and a catch-up method will be implemented, so players who didn't have the chance to get their first bullion can get it from the weekly quest in Valdrakken.
      Anyway, the soonest you can upgrade your legendary to the base item level of 502 is during the week of April 30th (so next week).
      Once you have 2 Antique Bronze Bullions, head to the Parting Glass in Valdrakken.

      Evokers need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Death Knights, Paladins, and Warriors need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for  2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Once purchased, use the consumable to upgrade your legendary to item level 502, the base item level for Season 4.
      After that, you can further upgrade your legendary using Flightstones and crests. Check out our gear upgrading guide for more info!

      Cache of Timewarped Treasures obtained from Black Temple Timewalking quest this week has a chance to contain Ashes of Al'ar!
      Don't forget to complete this week's Timewalking raid! If you're having trouble getting into a group, create your own one, invite 2 tanks 4-5 healers and around 14 DPS and you are all set! Visit Shattrath, and talk to the Timewalking NPC to queue up for the raid.
      The raid is extremely easy to compete and what's more, you get item level 493 loot along your way.
      Upon defeating Illidan Stormrage and completing the quest, you will receive Cache of Timewarped Treasures that has an increased chance of containing Ashes of Al'ar or another piece of gear.
      Demon Hunters shouldn't forget to get their warglaives transmog arsenal from Illidan and the reputation buff will help you add a couple of mounts to your collection!

      Tama's Dragonflight Helper is a Weakaura that displays a weekly to-do list in the game and it's been updated for Dragonflight Season 4!
      The WeakAura is very useful for keeping track of everything in the game at max level. It shows you a to-do list with the weekly tasks, provides you with the locations of rares, super rares, information about your current Renown standing, and more.



      You will find Tama's Dragonflight Helper at wago.io. Please note that you must first download and install WeakAuras 2 to import the string.

      Cataclysm's Grim Batol has been added to the Mythic+ Dungeon rotation in The War Within Season 1, and one boss received a brand new model recently on the Alpha.
      General Umbriss, the first boss of the dungeon, got a shiny new model, which is quite different from his previous one. Below is a screenshot of the old a new model.
