"Dont you still need to proc clearcasting with LvB?

I cant see how spamming LB would beat that for DPS?"

Raid buffed a shaman is seeing some pretty high crit ratings.
Add a 33$ chance to add another possible crit into the mix and you may not even notice the lack of lava burst.


The problem is that they tried to give shaman a "rotation"
Instead of spamming 1 button, they hit another one every 8 seconds and a third so the second works better. Not really much of a rotation and the tricks to fix it ended up making LvB way too important. So important they denied enhance shaman the chance to use it.

Now we see shaman get hit in a cross-fire AGAIN.
Conflag was "too good" so they nailed it. Considering it and LvB shared pretty much the exact same mechanic, I am betting they used the same spell effect with a minor name change. So nerfing Conflag hit LvB in between the eyes.

Of course they won't admit this poor coding.
So they fix LO and hope Shaman won't mind losing damage in PVP in an already unpopular arena spec since it has to stay still to do any meaningful damage and has jack in the way of real escapes.
