This is a very first and basic elemental shammy concept. I'm still working on the talents and spells.
The idea is to create a ranged assassin / melee specialist, depending on talents.
Ranged assassin concept:
Casts Lightning Bolts and stacks Elemental Power(passive) for further use.
Combining all the Elemental Power stacks and the Lava Burst (heroic ability), granting huge burst damage.
Melee specialist concept:
Hero will be able to stack Elemental Power by dealing melee damage, and blocking damage with the shield. When he has all three stacks, he can easily and fast deal with a merch camp or enemy structures.
Equipment:
The shaman wears a shield and a one handed axe, which allows him to deal melee damage and sometimes block as well.
I'm not focusing on spell costs/dmg values and details, because it's a matter of balance adjustments.
Combat Trait
1
ELEMENTAL POWER (D)
Active
Stacks up to three elemental charges. Each stack reduces the Lighting bolt cast time by 33%, which applies to the upcoming two spells.
Primary Abilities
1
Lightning Bolt
1 sec. cast 6 sec. CD
Fires a bolt of lightning at the target.
2
Shock Spell
Instant
Instantly shocks the target with the active shock spell. CD 10-15 sec.
3
ELEMENTAL SPECIALIZATION
Hero has three different elemental shock spells to choose:
Earth Shock (interrupts and silences the target for 1 sec.) Frost Shock (slows the target for 1.5 sec.) Flame Shock (fire DOT with a small AOE)
Only one can be active at the same time.
Heroic Abilities
1
TYPHOON
Channeled 3 sec. cast
Channels a typhoon, slowing and rising the enemies. The more time an enemy is affected by the typhoon,the more he rises. When the ability ends, all enemies fall down, receiving damage, depending on the time spent inside.
(This ability can do huge damage to structures)
2
Lava Burst
Instant
Hurls molten lava at the target. If your Flame Shock is on the target, Lava Burst will deal additional damage.

As I remember, he hadn't any abilities in WC3.
About the concept: It doesn't seem to be bad. The Exception is Mastery of the Elements that reduces cooldown by 5,5 seconds. In order for this talent to be balanced, the Lightning Bolt's damage should be similar to basic attack's damage (probably a bit bigger, but not too much), making this ability weak then not taking this talent. So there you should invent something different or rework this one.
I hope I helped :)

Thanks for the review. I will consider it.
