Surge of Power (shaman talent)

Surge of Power is an Elemental shaman talent that causes Earth Shock to empower other specific shaman spells.
It is an exclusive choice node with Aftershock.
==Notes==
*Flame Shock: Surge of Power can spread Flame Shock to a target that already had an active Flame Shock on it rather than a nearby target with no Flame Shock, effectively wasting the proc.
*Frost Shock: The freeze effect is not broken by damage. However, casting another Earth Shock on the frozen target will immediately break the effect. The freeze is a magic effect and can be dispelled.
*Lava Burst: The cooldown reduction effect works with the Storm Elemental talent.
*Lightning Bolt: The elemental overloads caused are in addition to any mastery procs.
==Tips and tactics==
*Surge of Power is designed as primarily a single target talent, though the Flame Shock effect can be beneficial for cleave encounters. The Lightning Bolt effect provides the most damage out of the talent and should be prioritized over the other effects.
*Aftershock allows for additional uptime on Surge of Power, but the buff does not stack. Casting two back-to-back Earth Shocks will waste a Surge of Power buff.
*In heavy AoE encounters, Surge of Power is a weak talent. It does not trigger from Earthquake, and should be avoided on encounters that make frequent use of the spell. Additionally, Surge of Power does not affect Chain Lightning.
