Could be someone playing a different expac previously, or misremembering how it's supposed to work in vanilla. In Cata and MoP, it's possible to drop tremor while being feared, and it pulses near instantly.
People just don't understand how Shamans work, it is what it is. Tbh, Shamans also don't do themselves any favours when they refuse to Totem twist in Raid just to spam Chain Heal hoping for a snipe.
Like, if you are going to play Shaman and not twist, why didn't you roll a Priest?
No one notices when you grounding spell stuns/polys/banishes/mcs or when you use one grounding to take a batched group of simultaneous cast like the whelps in scholo and it's criminal
This. It’s very easy for me to be able to lock out spellcaster with ES. But other classes have interrupt to be honest I think I’m the only one who bothers you interrupt stratholm necromancers in the groups I’ve gone in. Similarly other classes have a purge equivalent yes? Likewise why are people just smashing against mobs with buffs? Necro boneshields, Scarlet Chaplains etc.
Shaman, especially enh or my personal spec elehancement (deep ele/enh) are probably the best casters killers in PvE. Dispell+ earthshock+ wind flurry auto attack, alternate ES and FS. If you’re willing to forgo storm strike, which in my opinion is actually a very underwhelming spell, pretty high mana cost 30 second cool down, you can spec deep enough down elemental to be able to get clear casting, elemental mastery and improved fire totems. To me 1/10 spells being free, all my magic getting 100% increase in crit damage and 5 second cooldown on shocks, my magma totems get swiped less and can really pump with a well placed fire nova are well worth no storm strike.
It sure does! Catches anything that’s single target. No aoe’s. I have the grounding announcer weak aura flashes the name of the spell it catches at the top of my screen. I can’t play without it
