I can confirm this. Last night on Sindy achievement kill, there was only 2 casters, me, as Elemental Shaman, and a Mage. The Mage got the Unchained Magic every single time over a few tries, no...

you shouldn't dismiss +250mana to chest completly. Yes it is inferior, but when The Generals hardmode was some of the hot stuff, that enchant was far better than any other enchant. Granted that was a...

I'd agree that for a general fight Talisman of Resurgence is pretty useless, but downright terrible I wouldn't call it. On a progression fight with a damage burst ala Mimirons Plasmablast it could...

With the new totem there is a bloody good reason to use CH fairly often, even if you don't really have to. I used to keep Tidal Waves up for most (L)HW I casted before 3.2, and that was not always...

I wasn't being entirely clear, but what I mean with that statement is that over the course of a fight, haste allows you to cast the spells needed to heal faster - but you don't nessesarily have to...

gabrielrockman - Just to reiterate what Sixty said, Haste =/= OOM. Haste is a burst stat, it allows you to have a greater troughput when it's needed, SP will only do that to a certain extent and...

It's still at least 2 read operations and 2 add operation extra on every jump, given how often CH is cast I'd say it's a pretty obvious place to optimise. However, it's clearly OT and largely...

Since when have 25% more armor been a waste of resources and far less efficient? Even only with a 50% uptime it's still a incredible buff to give your tank on a melee boss. Shamans might not be the...

I don't understand this change eighter. It seems they wants us to use HW more, and LHW less, but as already stated numerous times, HW is just a too big heal to be truely viable.

That would be because LS used to cost mana, and I'm fairly confident that Blizzard made a mistake not turning on the 0-mana cost flag. Will be corrected in a future patch.

I was under the impression that 1 Int = 0.6 MP5, and if we lower the replenisment uptime to 60% it's still 1 Int = 0.5 MP5.

I don't think you can. And even if you could, CH only jumps to a nearby target if it needs healing. The dummies have 1/1 hp all the time, and hence it wouldn't jump. But I could be wrong :)
