That headline pretty much says it all. They hotfixed shaman T10 so that the Elemental Mastery cooldown reduction is now 1sec instead of 2sec. This is an expected nerf, and might explain why our dps dipped a little bit overnight, but it wasn’t in the patch notes so you might not have noticed it. It’s also worth watching out for the Lightning Bolt cast time change – they increased it, which is why even if you have more haste than you did before the patch (despite the loss of relic haste) you’ll be casting Lightning Bolts slightly slower than...

Adventures in Elemental PvP – A Beginning

There is a hunter in my guild that I have pvped and Arena’d with on and off for the last 3 years.
