Blood:  Exciting changes!  Dropping some dead talents and shuffling - and Consumption is back woot!
High Damage Survivability with Bloodworms and Purgatory could be pretty high...   The re-work on Bloodworms alone (removing the Crit requirement) was something Ive hoped for in terms of viability for quite a while.

Elemental - man...  They're shuffling this around like the community isnt happy with their progress so far 

:o  !!1!

I can't wait til I have to decide between Echo of the Elements and Elemental Blast, talents that every Elemental needs to have a fun and not clunky rotation. 

The only thing that seems nice is that Earthen Rage seems like a viable talent now (since IceFury without T21 and Gambling Build is confusing and not rewarding at all).

I still don't know why they don't make Ascendence and Echo baseline. Unlimited Power seems a nice talent (it reminds me of T18 4p), but Stormkeeper and AS are waaaay too good for burst ST and burst AOE. 

 

Edit: I just noticed Aftershock and Totem Mastery are on the same talent roll, thanks again Blizzard /s

Bloodworms is meh, the real deal is Voracious in my opinion. Apart from that either redesign blood talents again or honestly retune them becouse at the moment they are bad. Anti-Magic barrier won't ever beat Rune Tap as a pick and probably Will of the necropolis is gonna be the pick on that row most of the times. Apart from that if Vampiric blood isn't that strong as it is now the same applies between Purgatory and Red Thirst. If there isn't aoe either bonestorm or consumption shall see a play only becouse hemostasis is what it is. The only thing that seems interesting to me is Rune Strike and hopefully it shall synergise with Dancing Rune Weapon.

Why Blizzard is driving me away from my shaman? Why do they need me to decide between Echo and Elemental Blast? Dang it

Hopefully with proper feedback over the course of the Alpha and heading into Beta, there will be some changes, but you never know. People just need to be vocal, but not like they have been in the past where it is this overbearing, childish kind of vocal. Proper feedback etc. and they might just listen if enough people get on it.

      War Within Alpha should be just around the corner! When do we expect the latest expansion testing to start?
      If you've been keeping an eye on the World of Warcraft 2024 roadmap, you're likely excited about what's coming up! According to the roadmap, the War Within Alpha is expected to kick off sometime after Patch 10.2.6, which was released two weeks ago, and before the beginning of Season 4.

      Typically, a season lasts 22 weeks. Right now, we're in the 20th week of Season 3, with just about two weeks left. Let's break down the hypothetical timeline:
      Season 3 Week 20: Week of March 26 Season 3 Week 21: Week of April 2 Season 3 Week 22: Week of April 9 Season 4 Week 1: Week of April 15 This schedule suggests that the War Within Alpha could potentially launch as early as next week or during the week of April 9.
      The most recent news from the War Within camp came on March 27, when Blizzard rolled out a fresh encrypted internal build on the WoW Dev CDN. The internal builds are becoming more and more frequent which indicates Blizzard's ramping up to start testing in the very near future.
      Placeholder for tweet 1772901807448052151 In the meantime, we encourage you to check out everything coming in the War Within pre-patch that will release 1 month before the actual expansion.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale

      Blizzard just pushed an encrypted Patch 10.2.7 build to the WoW Dev 3 CDN branch.
      WoW Dev 3 has been updated from 10.2.6.53840 to 10.2.7.53954. The build is encrypted and we can't datamine it.
      Placeholder for tweet 1773384989314298365 13 days ago, we saw the very first encrypted Patch 10.2.7 build on a different branch (WoW Vendor 2).
      Placeholder for tweet 1768106695425700174 According to the 2024 roadmap, Patch 10.2.7, dubbed Dark Heart, is set to introduce new features such as Timerunning Pandamonium, Harbinger Quests, Troll & Draenei Heritage Armor, and a new holiday event.
