Shaman MOP

I find shaman in MoP to be awesome, some spells and abilities are really cool specially Ascendence, Astral shift and Totemic Persistent are really enjoyable. I still hate the new talent system since i prefer more flexibilty in my spec but meh there is nothing i can do about it. The new mechanics of fixed mana pool is rather annoying too...but my complains are about MoP mechanics not shaman as a class which specially for resto are really enjoyable.

I don't play MoP, but I thought the new talent system actually allowed for more flexibility given that there's no longer a real 'cookie cutter' spec and you choose depending on your own playstyle.
If that's not the case then there has never been much flexibility in choosing your talents anyway.

Resto in MoP:
PvE- crappy in HPS and more of a support healer, oldschool resto shamans are used to be dominant in healing by the end of every expansion which in Pandarias seems not to be the case.
PvP-viable as always

I will always love shaman no mather what, but do think MoP is to flashy, i mean with that to many ppl with spells that gives lot of glow, it becoming to much of lightshow

One word. Ascendance. THE MOST ****ING AWESOME ABILITY EVER. It makes me wanna roll elemental again, because it makes them so fun and overpowered.

Nope there isnt, only tier 3 and 4 talents really give you a choice thats 2/6 talents so percentage wise yeah we have more choice then we ever had. In tier 5 lets say i wanted to take conductivity but its not as good since in SoO there arent many fights whr ppl will stack for ~40 sec same with tier 1 and 2 no choice at all and in tier 6 the only talent that helps us is elemental blast.
There have always been some choice for example i still miss that 15 min reincarnation in wotlk saved me and my guilds hundreds of wipes, similarly talents which gave passive crit could be used to save a lot of reforging on gear and things like that, previously in every build there were some points left which every shaman could spent according to thier raid build but not now

MOP Shamans, Roll ele, bind chain lightning to everything, faceroll keyboard, top DPS.
With your legendary clock, why bother even trying, every hit of CL procs another CL which can proc a CL... You see where Im going with this.
Seen to many Restos still thinking they use mastery, annoys me. Haste best stat world.
No-one plays enhancement due to 0 skill level to be top DPS as ele.

Ele shaman are awesome in MoP but since i still like my main spec to be Resto i was talking from that point of view

Some mastery is ok but, never have enough haste for resto.

Never played MoP, but I don't think I would roll a Shaman at all. I always play Resto/Ele, but I really hate the idea of stackin' Crit as a Healer, like, relyin' on somethin' that is completely unreliable. Or it's just that I never roll specs that go Crit>Mastery. Because I actually never do.
Well, I could still roll Ele, but goin' full DPS when your class can be non-DPS sounds i d i o t ic (okay, can someone explain why "i d i o t" is censored here?) to me. So, if there is a chance that I ever play MoP, I'll probably roll somethin else, like an Arcane Mage or whatnot. And not that I really want to play MoP, Lore is all I care about and that I can just read.

Elemental is just pure faceroll i mean look at youtube or the bleached bones tournament they globaled everyone regardless of how much resil they had and enhancement is the same except that you cant avoid the damage...
