• The game is designed to change the way players
  approach, manipulate, and surmise the
  possibilities in a given environment.

• Surmise
• To imagine that something is the case on limited
  evidence or intuitive feeling

• The portals create a visual and physical
  connection between two different locations in 3D
  space. Portal ends are restricted to planar
  surfaces, but if the portal ends are on
  nonparallel planes, bizarre twists in geometry
  and gravity can occur as the player character is
  immediately reoriented to be upright with respect
  to gravity after leaving a portal end. An
  important aspect of the game's physics is
  "momentum redirection". Objects retain the
  magnitude of their momentum as they pass through
  the portals but in a direction relative to the
  surface the exit portal is on. This allows the
  player character to launch objects, or even
  herself, over great distances, both vertically
  and horizontally, a maneuver referred to as
  "flinging" by Valve.

• 2.3 Elemental shaman DPS test.
• The damage meters mod was used to record DPS.
• All tests were with lightning bolt only, on Dr.
  Boom in Netherstorm.
• Quartz was used in all tests, along with the
  macro /stopcasting /cast Lightning Bolt (Rank
  12)

37

• there is an issue with the global cooldown on
  the test servers. However, using the stopcasting
  macro negates the problem On 2.2 live, the
  meter parsing was paused when I went oom, just as
  the final lightning bolt struck the target. Any
  Lightning overload proc's from the final
  lightning bolt were not recorded.

38

• On 2.3 test server, the meter parsing was paused
  when the totems despawned. (the totems were
  placed in order - mana spring, totem of wrath,
  wrath of air. the meter was paused just as mana
  spring despawned.) therefore, all test server
  times will be near 2 minutes. gear used is the
  same throughout the tests. the lightning
  capacitor was not used.

39

• 41/0/20 spec. all lightning talents taken.
• with wrath of air and totem of wrath down, no
  other buffs. 1110 lightning bolt damage 39.59
  lightning crit.

40

• 2.2 (live) test 1 1131.9 DPS _at_ 1 minute, 24
  seconds test 2 1055.7 DPS _at_ 1 minute, 22 seconds
  test 3 1043.4 DPS _at_ 1 minute, 23 seconds test
  4 1132.7 DPS _at_ 1 minute, 31 seconds test 5
  1137.9 DPS _at_ 1 minute, 32 seconds average 2.2
  DPS 1100.32

41

• 2.3 (test) test 1 947.7 DPS _at_ 1 minute, 53
  seconds test 2 955.9 DPS _at_ 1 minute, 50 seconds
  test 3 857.4 DPS _at_ 1 minute, 56 seconds test
  4 967.1 DPS _at_ 1 minute, 46 seconds test 5
  871.3 DPS _at_ 1 minute, 55 seconds average 2.3
  DPS 919.88

42

• At present, this is one of the worst DPS nerfs
  in World of Warcraft history, standing at 180.44
  DPS loss, or a 16.39 damage loss. This puts
  elemental damage output below even that of
  enhancement, statistically one of the lowest DPS
  "DPS" specs. An elemental cannot buff his or her
  group anywhere near as well as an enhancement.

43

• With the current build, an elemental shaman
  brings nothing to the table, pve or pvp wise.

  create new artwork, and even give tutorials on
  mythology as it exists in the game or outside the
  game world.
