Humor / Meme Blizzard, THIS is how casting CHAIN LIGHTNING should feel

Post image

When i start casting I want to know some boys about to get CLAPPED. I want it to feel like I'm firing off a nuclear warhead toward some poor soul.

If our spec is destined to be ass, at least give us this one thing to work with. 200 hours in MS paint

I hope that using an electric collar to shock your dog on demand isn't as political as you immediately claimed.

An asshole can just be called an asshole because of something he did regardless of anything political.

The only people still using this meme are exactly who I’m talking about. Not everyone that downvoted but I figured there’s probably enough of them here to remind them

I wish it could hit 8 targets like it did in Warcraft 3

I’d love something like the more you cast lightning bolt the more it increases the potency of chain lightning (up to 3 times for instance)

I think that would be a good medium to require shamans some buildup. Ele used to obliterate AV turtles, which depending how you think about it may have been a good thing lol

I've been thinking the same. It makes a lot of sens and would make you "work" for the burst. But then it would feel so good to cast

in Vanilla CL was the ONLY spell with a cast time AND a cooldown AND some crazy spell coef as a result, a really unique spell, then in wrath they just decided some random yet another FIRE spell aka lava burst should replace it and basically made it a mini aoe/cleave filler instead of the Nuke it used to be.

I've been complaining about this shit for years. It happened to basically every class: whirlwind, multi-shot, divine storm (in legion). They also took blizzard and rain of fire, 2 powerful aoe channels, and reduced them to single global buttons which only serve to activate other mechanics (fof and shards)

It was part of their mission to take power away from individual abilities, instead opting for a complex rotation where damage comes from some sort of mini-game, builder spender system, and no button feels individually fun to press at all. I'm a retail andy but it's one of my huge gripes with how modern classes feel.

This is exactly the emotion I want to experience when I play shaman.

u/IGargleGarlic 5h ago

chain lightning should be the quintessential shaman ability

Chain lightning = pyroblast + arcane explosion combined

Do we have to be a chicken / grinch / Frankenstein hybrid to feel this?

Nobody looks at that picture and thinks it's cool or badass

I think its ironic

u/OldSort9980 10h ago

All the people who have played Shaman in WOW Forever at 60 and know how they play endgame is wild.

I will need to reroll to Mage now as you have confirmed Ele Shaman isn't viable at 60.

u/imaUPSdriver 9h ago

Unless they have some runes that haven’t been datamined yet, I think we have some idea

u/OldSort9980 6h ago

No just loads of edgelords creating the same post every hour getting a bit tiring.

If you think there will be an overhaul before launch you are having a joke.

Blizzard will monitor the classes and make changes before the raid.
