The idea for Fire support in the shaman mastery was long before the recent release of “Rule of simoon” fire tornado gloves.
This one is back in January 10 months ago:
If the new gloves did anything it was just tease even more fire shaman, without making it into a full build.
Fire EQ is OK. But (and this is even more supported by the recent changes to sentinel class) its not a spammable skills, EQ is meant as a BIG DPS skill that you use other skills to build it up. At the moment thats kind of limited to swipe/tempest strike for mana and Leap to boost its damage.
Lets just say that it was a full fleshed out fire build (based on fire EQ) if you can have 1 build why not allow more variety? Why make it so this 1 build has no defined support in passives.
Swipe can be Physical + Lightning. Give it Fire/Cold.
I could blabber on for days… in the end its just my opinion and i feel that absolutely nothing would be hurt by build some fire into the shaman mastery. Ive ran into far more people asking for fire support than being opposed to the idea (Granted Yes, I Have not ran into EVERYONE)
