Giantslayer

- Spellbreaker's effect has been changed. Now inflicts damage and removes a maximum of 3 Blessings or Enchantments, dealing 25% more damage for each one consumed.

Is this the same as Kotbs tactic back on live? If so, RIP Shaman.

I don't see Spellbreaker having an absurd range...

Melee and Tanks affected, specially on SCs. In this game melee dps can reach anyone specially with all the order rkds. Why throw my Shammy hots on my mdps now? How can this not be a problem?

[Ugle]

Tbh the absurd range was just the icing on the top for the class destroying kotbs ability, but lets see how it pans out on the slayer

It's not just a Shaman's hots- it also affects DoKs.

Zealots are mostly unaffected.

[Kurama]

At least DoKs can gheal. I just hope it doesnt turn out like on live for Shamans.

Magus 2
Changing: Flamer + Mist + Glean + Panda + Firestorm

In light of the current (and the imminent future) rework, I probably will not have enough patience to get my Magus to 40 quickly, so I'll ask here.
In general, does the combination of Infernal Pain and Surging Powers tactics worth to slot for additional damage from Surge of Insanity to 6 targets?

No, as mentioned by peter. But in the case of double Magus aoe combo it could be considered to just have that itsy bitsy dps added, same for Seed that's not that great either.

Surging power is good for SVF and Havoc tree. Use with 3 sec cooldown tactic and interweave SVF between casts of other abilities. Or use with whither and boost dmg even further.

Squig Goo went from Ranged AoE DoT + snare to PBAoE DD + snare. The SH has a PBAoE snare/kickback already. Was changing the morale to PBAoE intended, and if so was it meant to fit in more with the melee build? As a ranged herder, I am struggling to justify slotting this morale because IMO being within 30ft of a target is a mistake unless your group has complete control of the battlefield.

All of those morales were equalized to be close range 30ft.

Can you explain why the ranged DPS morales where normalized to PBAoE? I am ignorant to the why, so am unable to understand the why.

I'm not sure why; likely because morales are getting an overhaul in general and equalizing them makes them all viable for m2 bombing.

Like the game needs more m2 moral aoe bombing :/

This is a nerf to healing shamans no matter what the "absurd range" is. Slayers attack players that are being healed by shamans and will be able to strip their hots, so an indirect nerf to shaman healing. Is that the intention?
