I read that Blizzard is going to be changing the elemental tree by
1) combining elemental warding with elemental shields
2) reducing the cost of unrelenting storm
3) moving storm, earth and fire to a lower position
4) adding a new talent which increases the effect of lightning bolt

While I am happy to hear about these changes, I am concerned that elemental shaman will need to invest an additional 5 points into the elemental tree. While one could argue that with the changes, elemental shaman will have an additional 5 points to spare, I for one invested in neither of the protection talents, and would rarely spec 5/5 into unrelenting storm (at level 80).

I would like to know just where Storm Earth and Fire is going to be moved, so that I can have a chance to give feedback before it's implemented. I am concerned about the change mainly because there are worthwhile talents to invest in on both of the other trees. The talents that I am afraid will become unattainable are in the 10-15 point range of enhancement & restoration. As it is right now, its a worthwhile sacrifice to get those talents - If I had to spend more in elemental, I would be likely to lose those talents.

Thanks
