Undocumented changes

Shaman (Skills List / Talent Calc. (8970))
Skills

All totems have been changed to last 5 minutes instead of 2. (This only affects totems that previously had a 2 minute timer, obviously, totems with a shorter duration didn't get any increase)
Restoration

Earthliving Weapon Rank 1/2/3/4 now increases healing done by 26/32/42/70.

Talents
Elemental

Lava Flows doesnt increase the amount of bonus spell damage on your Flametongue Weapon anymore and increases the range of your flame Shock spell by 5/10/15 yards instead.
Enhancement

Static Shock now increases the number of charges of your Lightning Shield by 2/4/6 (up from 1/2/3)
Elemental Weapons moved from Tier 5 to Tier 3. Now Increases the damage caused by your Windfury Weapon effect by 13/27/40% increases the spell damage on your Flametongue Weapon by 10/20/30% and increases the bonus healing on your Earthliving Weapon by 10/20/30%.
Mental Dexterity moved from Tier 3 to Tier 5.

Restoration

Spirit Link has been removed.
Blessing of the Eternals has been changed to Increases the critical effect chance of your spells by 2/4%, and increases the chance to apply the Earthliving heal over time effect on the target by 40/80% when they are at or under 35% total health.
New Talent/Skill - Riptide (Tier 11) - Heals a friendly target for 481 to 519 and another 500 over 15 sec sec. Your next Chain Heal cast on that primary target within 15 sec sec will consume the healing over time effect and increase the amount of the Chain Heal by 25%. (21% of base mana, 40 yd range, Instant cast, 6 sec cooldown)

Glyphs

Glyph of Flame Shock - Increases the duration of your Flame Shock ability by 3 sec. (Old - Increases the range on your Flame Shock ability by 10 yards.)



Hallelujah on the Totem duration. Best change I've seen in a long time. Managing our cooldowns just became a hell of a lot easier. Static Shock change will help as well. I might have to think about trying that one out now.


The spirit link changes sucks hard for Resto. A 51 point talent is a mediocre HoT?
