Forever Beta Feedback Chain Lightning is the iconic spell of a shaman

Post image

Max rank Chain Lightning in Classic hit for 505-564, more than Lightning Bolt. In Forever it hits for 120-134, which is less than Lightning Bolt. It does cast faster now (2 sec instead of 2.5) and costs about half the mana granted

I get that Lava Burst is meant to be the new big hitter, but Chain Lightning is the spell shamans have been known for since Warcraft 3

Give us back the big zap pls

i hope your class never suffers the same fate mine has so you never understand the pain i and the other shammies are going through. but i also hope you learn compassion for those who are losing something they enjoy doing.

I mained Shaman vanilla through WoD. I healed vanilla (the bit that I was able to raid for) and up to BT in TBC and then was enhancement.

I got asked to switch to Rogue as main on Mythic Blackhand to run around and soak the ashes or whatever it was.

I know exactly what you’re asking for even if a lot of other people on here don’t.
