FIX WF SO MY HWL WEAP HIT HARD

[Xandron]

I fully support this thread, please fix windfury. This bug is present for several months now and it's really annoying because how drastically it hinders enhancement damage. Also if the tornado animation could somehow be fixed as well, that would be much aprreciated, since it's iconic for the shaman class and satisfying to look at.

If you want to enhance horde raid performance, fix windfury totem to proc on drop-down not 5 sec later [..]

Also want to stress this point in particular and not just for windfury but all "buffing" totems.
It breaks the shaman class in PvP (against good players), whereas shamans usually boost a Horde team significantly in Group fights, they are severly gimped right now.
- Delayed Windfury buffs lead to totems being destroyed before they ever affect the player. (#nerd macro)
- The state of Grounding/Tremor is terrible it just takes way too long to be active:

Tremor and cleansing totems actually proc instantly on dropdown dont they? Thought its rly just the wpn totems.

This is true for those type of totems. Weapon totems have always had that few seconds of a delay during Vanilla and TBC.

Can you provide proof to that? I find that hard to believe.

Not true. Enhancement shamans in TBC (retail) twisted totems in melee groups so they had both WF and GoA with both having next to max uptime which is not possible with the current 5 second delay on WF. I would know being in one of those groups.
I have a hard time believing WF totem worked differently in Vanilla.
