well, just because it doesn't fit with the usual, doesn't make it a bad thing. your specialization should be in alteration for 2 reasons. 1 canni. 2. heals.

both canni and heals are alteration based, and therefore, our specialized areas and skills make it more beneficial to be alteration than conjuration or evocation.

I'm not flaming you, but a majority of shaman specialize in Alteration, so it is better for more people that it is alteration.

great for farming. reset isnt horrible, i AE slow (VS) then BoA. the other day i was bored and decided to make some illusion potions...so i head to dulak harbors. at first i am using dogdog and panther....got boring, so i pulled 4-5 and cast boa, POW they drop to 30%. After that i was pulling 2-3 boats at a time, what ever was between them, maybe a building or 2...was alot of fun.

nice part of this spell is it is affected by focus. i hit anywhere from 1212 to 1600+ before crits. the hard part is getting used to the narrow area it shoots at, and the short range. but play with it in low guk for 10 minutes and you get it down...pull half the zone and corner yourself....insta faction !


btw, SLOW is alteration also, and cripple, and root, and almost ever buff except accumen...

Well, as far as consistency goes, it probably should be evocation (which most nukes are) or conjuration (which some, not all, of our poison nukes are). This spell is neither direct nuke nor rain, it's something a little new, so if it's meant to be alteration, I won't complain.

As for specialisation, the vast majority go for alteration, because that's what our debuffs and heals are, and a lot of our buffs.

I've used it a bit already - in the signet instances, it was nice to see it land on 5+ mobs at once. But you do have to get the angle right and get the mobs lined up and fairly close. It's a bit of a nuisance like that. But on the whole, probably not a bad addition to our arsenal.
