Concentration Aura
Someone else is getting Concentration Aura. Place your bets. (http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/26435173700/so-who-else-gets-concentration-aura/ (http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/26435173700/so-who-else-gets-concentration-aura/))

Yeh My guess is Priest. Please Share your thoughts with of all us so we can know who thinks what?

Either Priest or Shaman, although I'd prefer Priest of course it's more likely to be a new Shaman totem. And in that case it's probably a fire totem, since the others elements have totems with more utility.

They can't give yet another buff to shaman.  They already have everything else.

Maybe PvE-wise, but I was thinking PvP-wise. Shamans are relying on casted heals more than any other healer and Paladins already have it. Resto Druids and Disc Priests to a lesser extent rely more on instants so if any healer will get it, it has to be the Shaman. Plus the totem mechanic does kinda match the way how auras work.

What I don't understand though is why the spell will even exist in Cata. All cast-pushback reducing talents have been removed from the healing trees, will that mean that everyone will get a ~70% base chance to not get pushbacked? Or will Concentration Aura only give the current talent-effect of reducing Silence duration?

PRIESTS!

As much as priests are lovely and all, they already bring great healing variety, fortitude, shadow protection (although is this still gonna exist?) and just being great all-rounders for healing.

That said, you are losing Divine Spirit... which was... would've been... kinda regen related. Just that warlocks have to have their imp out to provide anything at all iirc? Welp, in any case if it's anything but priest or lock I'll be surprised.

If they give it to druids then love is over.

But druids is the healer that casts the least spells? (note, keyword cast as in cast time) would make more sense to give it to a class that atleast casts heals.

Druids bring way too much as it is between ninnravaet, combat res, motw (which is now BoK!) awesome awesome healing potential (which given cata's larger hp pools we can probably expect will remain awesome with hots being even more relevant) and cyclone's incredible CC, phenomenal especially for MC'd targets - no other healer has this. When you consider ferals and balance druids too who also already bring a stupid amount of utility for dps classes (or tank), there's no way it'd be even vaguely sensible to give them yet another fantastic and highly sought after raidbuff.

Well shiver me timbers!

Shaman of all classes! I'm pretty amazed, given that I got the feeling the last thing shaman wanted was to have another totem to drop (sacrificing something else)

Well its a water totem, and there isn't many good ones, only mana spring, and healing stream, so we aren't really sacrificing anything important to drop this.

Don't worry, you'll get this:


Disc is looking really good for PvP as well. Can't wait!

Isn't mana tide also water? Or does that just use whatever water totem's already down without interrupting the effect?
Title: Re: Cataclysm Beta New Aura
Post by: Yathezai on August 15, 2010, 05:20:11 pm
Yeah it's a Water totem and it replaces the Water totem that was up at that point. So you won't have the Concentration effect up when you use Mana Tide. And when Mana Tide runs out, no Water totem will be up and you'll have to drop a new Tranquil Mind/Cleansing/Mana Spring/etc totem.

Could probably have an enhancement/elemental shaman drop Concentration totem?

Ugh, can we not call it tranquil? I have to go and look to see what it is. Let's just go with concentration totem pretty please?
