Nothing for shaman = happy shaman

* Tremor Totem has been redesigned. The totem is now usable under Fear, Charm, or Sleep effects, and pulses much more rapidly, but lasts 6 seconds and has a 1-minute cooldown.
* Cleansing Waters no longer fires its heal effect twice when a shaman removes a Magic and a Curse debuff with a single cast.

Add this:

Mana Tide Totem has been redesigned. The totem no longer multiplies the Spirit of those affected by it. It instead gives a flat amount of Spirit equal to 400% of the casting shaman’s Spirit, exclusive to short-term Spirit buffs affecting the shaman when the totem is dropped.
Is this something new which they wanted to hide from the shamans?

IMO, they should increase the time on thrash (dot) for better aggro management for bears with such drastic nerfs on the main abilities. I doubt thrash is useful in PVP.

Patch notes updated January 11, 3:30 PM PST

Seal of Truth: All single target attacks (including Judgement, Hammer of Wrath, Exorcism, and Templar's Verdict) can now trigger this seal.

Just read the new patchnotes PTR, GG they are nerfing the heroics and they said heroics were fine as it is intentionally released. 

On a side note, alchemist rejoice on getting which don't require them to buy expensive DMC.

Alchemist's Stones for Agility, Strength, and Intellect have been added.

Also i'm looking forward to them re-introducing Sacred Shield to paladins.

When reduced below 30% health, you gain the Sacred Shield effect. The Sacred Shield absorbs [1 + 2.8 * AP] damage and increases healing received by 20%. Lasts 15 sec. This effect cannot occur more than once every 30 sec. 30 sec cooldown.

    * Level 85 players can now choose any normal dungeon via the Dungeon Finder. Choosing Random Dungeon will still not add Blackrock Caverns or Throne of the Tides into the rotation.


Blackrock Caverns

tears flood the most class forum and general official forum
well maybe except the mages forum,
mages are now FOTP(Favourate Of The Patch)
and they(mage) ask to buff fire spec mage

I saw the new shaman patch details on mmo champion. Tremor totem is going to be a free trinket for shaman's. Actually a pretty good totem. The nerf the purge is not going to be so bad for me . Lets see how it goes lah.

* Black Arrow damage has been reduced by 25%.

* Explosive Shot damage has been reduced by 25%.

* Serpent Spread can now only affect up to 4 targets per Multi-Shot, down from unlimited.

/activate Beastial Wrath 
Explosive trap was better for LnL, more reason not to take this talent.
Dunno how is this justifiable, seeing as the ticks aren't sped up by haste.
Dumbest nerf ever. I can barely keep up with fire mages, demonology locks, warriors and frost DKs in terms of AOE dps.
... Oh, well. At least less people will reroll hunters now 

surv need to be nerfed without nerfing the other 2 spec...
thus...
