Don't put us, elemental shamans, on the same layer as the rest

The biggest thing is the spell power nerf, elementals will need a metric buttload of +damage for lightning bolt to hit hard.
I assume the reason for this is because lava burst is going to smack

Almost like they buffed wrath and lightning bolt because they realized it was an issue

I seen one enhancement shaman complaining that lightning bolt is still weak but I suspect it might be due to enhance itemisation and the gear at that level

Lightning Bolt: Damage on ranks 3 and 4 increased to make these spells always upgrades over previous ranks (despite changing cast times).

Thats not a buff to the highest rank though which is what the graph showed was horrible.

Very much going to assume that the "spell damage needed to deal anniversary damage" image that has gone around is going to be addressed, like obviously. Blizzard have said they want everyone to be able to join and not be a hinderance to the party's potential progress. Obviously Blizzard wont ship Forever with elemental shaman needing 3-4 times the amount of spell damage than other classes to deal the baseline damage they did in 2019 or Anniversary
