Spirit Wolves will have abilities - right now, they don’t hit very hard

They’ll have abilities (like a stun, snare etc.) and will serve as a DPS timer.

We’ll be working on a Shaman polish very soon.

Concerning a change to Lightning Bolt’s coefficient

Source: Koraa

Lightning Bolt always had a higher coefficient than similar bolt spells. This was because there weren’t as much/any nature damage debuffs. Now that they exist, we’re restoring Lightning Bolt to it’s intended coefficient. Your DPS in a raid setting will if anything be higher with these changes.

Over a concern that Enhancement might be mana starved - this reply came to a post stating Static Shock was kicking off more often than it should, causing Lightning Shield to have to be applied more frequently than intended.

Bingo.

You should have to sorta swap between the two based on the situation (water and lightning), based on if you need mana or not. It also sort of has to do with your itemization, what kind of gear are you using?

Concerning Paralysis not working:

Being replaced with something soon, along with a few other changes to deep Elemental.
