WoW: old or new shaman elements

in warcraft 3 the shaman used three elements known as storm earth and fire,
i think this covers the shaman powers much better than the water earth fire and air elements, what do you think

 

iirc in Lord of the Clans they used the basic four elements (Water, Fire, Air, Earth) and Spirit of the Wild.
I think that covers it better.
Besides there's not really much difference between storm and water+air and storm isn't real element

 

Storm counts for both water and air, so it already had the four elements.
They have the fire totems from fire, earth totems from the earth, and both water and air totems from the storm.

 

yeah, but storm also includes lightning, which is the shaman main offensive spell

 

I read somewhere that lightning is created by particles of ice, it that true?

 

@ijffdrie. So? That's still a part of the original storm, earth and fire.
@Meee. It's created by electrons, just like static electricity. It doesn't travel through ice but what you might be thinking of is that the electrons travel through the water particles in the air.

 

Storm, earth, and fire....Heed my call!!

*Dun dun duhnuh dun dun da dun*

Anyway, water is a FAR more valid element than Storm no matter how you swing it.

 

Storm involves both water and air. It's not like it's a choice between wither one of the other. The WarCraft3 Shaman's 'elements' were Storm, Earth and Fire. In World of Warcraft, they still use these exact same 'elements' except Storm is useful for both water spells and air spells, because it consists of water and air.

 

Airstrike Totems and the mana totem (name?) make me all fuzzy inside so I like new personally. Also... Frost shock and you win imo.
