Elemental shamans can now scream "Storm, Earth, and Fire, heed my call!" as they go charging into their foes when World of Warcraft patch 2.3.2 hits the servers. Blizzard Community Manager Salthem visited the WoW Shaman Forums and announced that the Earth, Lightning, and Water Shields will be upgraded.

According to Salthem, both the Earth and Lightning shield will have their mana cost "substantially reduced." This means that a Shaman will never be without one of the shields active in a battle.

Salthem also mentioned that the Water Shield will now keep regenerating mana no matter how many charges are on it. In addition, the duration of this ability has also been increased to 10 minutes.

While the upgrades may seem pretty minor compared to the mage or hunter buffs, most shamans will agree that the new additions will open up new possibilities in battle.
