Mechanic: When Maelstrom is applied on Primalist, it reflects the stacks as some builds utilize that, and no timer is applied. Utilizing the talent Violent Squall also shows the icon and no timer.
Request: When the talent Violent Squall is taken, please include a countdown circle timer on the buff icon - like other abilities utilize. It would be a fast and efficient way to see the remaining time on the buff. Additionally, the ability Whirlpool would need to be properly reflected in the timer calculation as well.
Side Note: Would be nice if when taking the talent Violent Squall, it removed the cast time - and made it instant cast. Since only able to have 1 at a time. Not sure if that would break something, somehow, somewhere - but feels odd doing the jerking cast motion when running around for 1 stack.
Thanks.
Follow-up:
Finally realized what was bugging me about it after a couple more hours on my Shaman. I am playing all the classes, learning etc… and Maelstrom feels clunky compared to my Spellblade - that utilizes Flame Ward, with Fire Aura proc on activation. This is very similar to Maelstroms utilization, but Flame Ward + Fire Aura feels smooth, impactful, and noticeable.
I’m would not expect damage increases, etc. to the spell - just cleaning up the aesthetics and activation process so that it feels more impactful and smooth overall like Flame Ward + Fire Aura does.
Once again, thanks for listening to our feedback.
