re: God I hate Blizz, and Now spirit link is gone!!!!

And replaced with
Well they are taking out spirit link as the 51 point talant and giving us

Riptide (Level 80 rank) - Heals a friendly target for 795-826 and another 150 over 15 sec. Your next Chain Heal cast on that primary target within 15 sec will consume the healing over time effect and increase the amount of the Chain Heal by 25%. 18% base mana. 6 second cooldown. (0.402 coefficient for those who know math)

Unfortunately, the uber looking cool visual and sound won't be ready for a while after we ship =(

and the reason why they dumped spirit link


Spirit Link was creating too many technical issues, such as:

- Tech wise it was causing many bugs, for example there is no way for us to let you refresh it on the current target who has spirit link (which is what spurred the duration/cooldown)
- Allowing linked targets to break out of CC when you shared damage was too powerful, and the gimmicks we put on it were confusing and bad design
- Allowing you to put it on a tank was too powerful, so we had to address that too. Which was a downer.

In an upcoming build we're replacing Spirit Link with a new talent. It will be an instant cast beefy heal over time called Riptide on a short cooldown. It also has a cool side effect of when you Chain Heal that target it will consume the HoT, and increase the healing done by that Chain Heal.




SCREW BLIZZ, only thing shamans were getting is now getting taken away!!!!
