Quote:Windfury Totem: The weapon enchantment from this totem will now only trigger off normal melee swings. This means abilities such as Sinister Strike, Mortal Strike, and Hamstring will no longer trigger the Windfury Totem.I didn't think it was possible, but Blizzard managed to make Horde raiding even weaker - this is a huge reduction to Horde's melee DPS - depending on how many people actually get Windfury, it can be a reduction of as much as 10% of melee DPS. And absolutely no other buffs to raiding Shamans to offset this. Fantastic! I honestly don't think Blizzard knows what they are doing any more.
Um wow, that is a little nuts. And what about heroic strike? If it doesn't proc off of HS anymore either, an attack that is on next swing, um ouch. I don't get this one at all. If they made some totems that could hit for a 40 yard radius and anyone in the raid could benefit, then maybe since horde could stack some stuff (make any of the totems that don't have an aura equivalent do this, so only windfury, grace of air, strength of earth, tranquil air, and stoneskin. But not the resists, heals, or cleanses, though with judgement of light and wisdom you could make an arguement for the mana spring (not tide) and healing streams too. :))
