About Tidal Waves: with the new Patch we have two hasted LHW or HW. Even a 1,6sec HW, as the example was given before, is slow. Try to figure out a 1,2 hasted HW under the permition of a good raid support and our new items at 80.
A good Priest wont be able to spam CoH all the time in the new 25-instances. He would be running oom before he can say Circle of Healing.
You cant compare those short fights at this moment with the fights wich will come. Actually everything is hasted and overpowered in the damage and raid-heal.
Of course we are not competive against instant AE heals now, because we need 2,0 sec for a good hasted chainheal, but i absolutly disagree in the idea, tidal waves + riptide is useless.
It was said so many times and i cant believe you didnt made the same experiences.
Healing is not a number like DPS, Healing is something flexible and different in each situation.
How many people have Dmg-In? Where is the Dmg-In? Raid-wide or just some people? Is it one-time-dmg or is it dmg-over-time? on and on....
So many questions in such a short amount of time.
Riptide and Tidal Waves is giving the shaman flexibility. Riptide will cause Tidal Waves and this is a really nice buff.
It is not necessary to spam chain heal to gain tidal waves. No, Riptide+HW will give an huge output on a single target, in a short amount of time.
Just spamming Chainheal doesnt mean you are a good Shaman. More over it doesnt mean you healed effective.
If you compare the new skills of a paladin and priests with all the granted haste, it will become much more important to skill our LHW/HW-haste by tidal waves. This is the first time a shaman is able to choose how to heal by fast/instant situational heals.
I want to cite Bruce Lee: "be water my friend" always flexible, always able to react on different situations with different skills.
In the end i can only agree with optalmo.
