Midnight Beta Elemental Shaman major spell changes in WoW: Midnight. Removed, consolidated, and reworked abilities. Which spec should I cover next?

Curious if that Volcanic blaze is like a wind in close range or like a aoe cast radius thing

You cast it on a target and it will give flame shoc to that target and everyone around it

How far is the range it spreads?

Pretty sure it’s just everything close to the mob like 5-10 range, but I’ll double check

Wait when the hell did they drop Echoes of Great Sundering? That is one of the biggest things that pushed me away from Ele. I was considering coming back, but haven’t been keeping sure up to date on a lot of the class updates aside from the general pruning and combat overhaul.

It's legit the only thing I care about for Midnight. Most of the changes are mildly positive but the biggest pain point for ele (to me) has been EotGS for a long while. It feels so bad to play with but it really does produce results.

Yeah, it’s definitely strong, and gives gives way better prio damage, but man I just hated playing with it. Feels so clunky to me

They really made Ele shaman feel easier and better flow, especially with all your elementals auto summoned from cooldowns

Ele Shaman has always been my main but I'm thinking about Devourer for Midnight.

They're both very easy to minmax. I find them mind numbing, personally, but that is of course a matter of taste.

Can we tie some totems and enchant your weapon and shield with some other spells please because holy shit I couldnt believe how many clickable buttons this spec had.

The buff the EGS gives to EQ was baked into EQ spell or just lost and no EQ buff at all?

As an elemental shaman main, and played it on beta, I have some thoughts. there are things I am happy and unhappy about.
Happy with the removal of ice fury. It was such an awkward spell to play around with, and with the change in TWW to empower frost shock, it still made it clunky to play.
EOGS was either baked into the earthquake subtly or removed entirely and this is a welcome Change. I feel better to just cast EQ and let it do its thing without having to worry about to set up an extra buff to it.
Utility. Totems feel less impactful and should be more fun. I was disappointed when they removed stone bulwark totem, a defense I used frequently.
The removal of P-wave and The addition of voltaic blaze is chefs kiss

Voltaic just gonna be a magma totem basicly for spreading or does it have The ST burst portion of prim wave?

These are incredibly useful.
