By both, I ment both of leme's. And they still aren't working for me.
Well lets start with what I think needs to happen for shaman trees:
Group buff for 31 point elemental talent. At the moment, no serious min/max group would even consider an elemental shaman. Maybe a new totem or something.
Rework Stormstrike. The damage/mana is way too low, especially considering enhancement shammys are heavily weighted towards str/agi. Even when I had it, I didn't use it.
Improved grounding totem needs reworking. Probably a change to the cooldown. 95% of the time grounding is eaten by a damage spell, making the talent useless.
Rework the tree leading to manatide. 10 pretty useless talents to take one really good one is too much.
Consider moving natures swiftness to 11 points. This might be too powerful. However as it stands, most shaman consider this talent absolutly necessary, meaning there is no chance of getting the other 31 pointers. As far as I know, there isn't another no brainer talent at 21 points for any other class. And manatide is enough to keep alot of shaman resto.
And for the love of Christ, fix it so respecing doesn't force you to relevel your 2h mace/axe.
