Actually, I don't think he actually said anything of that sort.

In fact, he may have even said that he was "mentioning Earthquake because it has an important chance-to-knockdown component, which means it has great utility in PvP. It is a ranged AoE, which is cool in itself, and can be used in a pinch to defend key battleground points, such as flags and other objectives."

You wanna get out of the ele tree, you have to take EQ. Why not embrace it for what it can do instead of rolling out whiny condemnation. I for one am thankful for Blizzard's movement towards combating the "cookie-cutter spec or die" superiority complex so many people seem to thrive on.

Anyways.

I can't quite look forward to the same level of arena and bg enjoyment on my resto shaman til I have the points to get down to 2/2 Ancestral Swiftness. While we're moderately equipped to stand and take a beating, being able to actually effectively kite melee trying to curbstomp me is something I would appreciate.

2/2 Cleansing Waters might be the best thing to happen to PVP resto shaman since riptide.
