That would be a nice aoe glyph. It could also be used to apply flame shock in single target while using earth shock.

Nevermind, you said spread not apply.

This. Probably the best way to prevent overpoweredness is to limit the Flame Shock debuff to a maximum of three targets.

We could get earthquake that seems more like an enhancement ability than an elemental ability. Especially now that we have the trolls with the buff that places earthquake under the target he hits.

Your suggestion to spread flame shock sounds good but it'd still mean wasting too much time to get a decent dps compared to other classes.

I think we need an aoe ability. something akin to other melee classes that hit all the mobs around them.

Until blizzard gives us that, I'd settle with a change to Fire Nova. Fire Nova would deal damage like now but it'd also apply flame shock on up to 2 mobs. (making it 3 flame shocks in a fight). Fire Totems should also do the aoe dmg around them like they used to. Maybe then we'd have an almost decent aoe.

In most aoe fights I dont even bother to aoe now since by the time I apply the 2nd flame shock, most adds are already dead. Instead I'll just focus on dpsing the mob with the most health to speed up it's death.

Honestly I don't understand why they don't just let our magma totem AOE like it used to. All these changes seem to be adding unnecessary complexities just to do a bit of unsatisfactory AOE damage. I can't imagine the conversation that went on behind the scenes when it was decided to make it a 5-step process that takes around 12 seconds to get going.

It's really ridiculous when you compare to other classes who pretty much just have to press one button.

This right here. Chain Lightning on a Flame Shocked target spreads the Flame Shock, the way Pestilence spreads Death Knight DoTs. To keep it from becoming OP for Elemental Shammies, you make it a talent instead of a glyph. Easy peasy, right?
