I would say go a step further for bulwark and have it work on nature damage. Shaman tanks pull with chain lightning and keep aggro with earth shock. Letting those build would give Shamans some DR on pull.
Back on Turtle forum, someone suggested making that terrain between Thalassian Highlands and Tirisfal Glades a mini-zone that would enhance the experience of trip to SM. No mobs but at least pretty terrain. Now it is the most optimal though ugly path.
There's the lodge at the loch right? Could do something with that. Dwarves and High Elves have hinterlands too so getting connected seems to make sense in lore
Seconded. I just don't BG while leveling because of it. Let the twinks have their fun and let players trying to experience some pvp in between questing have theirs.
Can we update Shaman Lightning Strike and Storm Strike to use the weapon special animation and not the casting animation? Seems like it would be low hanging fruit and help with immersion.
