	Flesh_Wound posted: Elemental Mastery kicks bootoi, but if you didn't like elemental before, you probably won't now. Unlesh adds a nice element to the rotation, and unleashed lava bursts are great fun to watch, but it's still a pretty simple dps caster. If you dig that, it's more of the same (and on better footing in terms of dps equality). Earthquake remains useless. =P I'm really beginning to dig Resto as I grow into heroic level, but I have to say this whole more than one button thing is hogwash. I'm still basically just ripping a single heal spell as opposed to ripping a chain, but eh, more to come I'm sure. Unleash is a waste of a gcd. It would be good if it didn't use a gcd :\ then you could macro it in with lvb. As it stands right now it just isn't worth using a gcd that could be used on lb or cl. Especially when our mastery is so good. Using unleash takes out a possible mastery proc.

	I guess I can see the number crunchery behind it if you consider that GCD used on a bolt, for instance, which will add a charge to shield, potentially trip mastery, and, at higher gear levels, trump the 20% to burst and its own initial damage. Still, I'll take my placebo while out grinding leather and pretend we got a new tool. I should edit my comment on one/two button healing. I guess if you count my now having to purge, hex, bind, and shear on pulls, I am healing with quite a few more buttons. -----signature----- AC - Hokkaido Disco, Flesh Wound - retired EQ/EQ2 - Straylight - retired UO, DAOC, AoC, AO, CoH, EVE - retired WoW - retired Help me SW:TOR, you're my only hope

	Shammy's have been OP since day 1. Just felt the need to add that. -----signature----- "Sometimes new is fun and fun is the point. Will it still be fun once it's not new?

	One other thing I've noticed since I started a shaman is the reaction you get in a dungeon. More than once I've heard, "eah a Shaman." or "I love running dungeons with a shaman." Pretty cool. Don't get that with other class. -----signature----- I found something else by accident. It has become my new passion.

Shaman were incredibly underwhelming in BC unless you healed and with the hybrid tax in Wrath they were still underwhelming. They were 'OP' in vanilla when Windfury could still proc itself. Resto was never OP in Vanilla; Paladins had / have / had that title
