Thunderstorm is a shaman 51-point talent ability found within the Elemental talent tree.
Uses
Thunderstorm has multiple uses. First, it is a self defense mechanism that helps the elemental shaman to push melee attackers away and also damage them a bit in the process. Secondly, it is an instant mana restorative ability should the shaman encounter mana problems in long fights. Thirdly, Thunderstorm is one of the very few abilities in the game that has a knockback effect; this effect can be very useful in many situations in PVP because it can be used to push an enemy player off cliffs or higher elevated places resulting in fatal fall damage unless the opponent has some countermeasure to save themselves. Notable examples are the lifts in Thunder Bluff, the Lumber Mill in Arathi Basin, or the Meeting Stone for Naxxramas. The flag spawn point in Eye of the Storm is perhaps the best place to use this ability in the game. Due to the layout of the area, a well timed Thunderstorm can easily kill crowds of enemy players and prevent the flag from being picked up.
