Not bad, since you may use shocks to support your melee dps.

Comment by Sylkae

Pretty versatile talent and would go very good with either an Elemental/Enhancement build for high DPS with a 16% reduced mana cost to shocks or Enhancement/Resto for Survivability with a 31% reduced mana cost for your totems as well. Either way its a pretty solid talent that serves many aspects of the class.

With Patch 2.3 the changes mentioned by Brighid are in fact occuring, previous to that patch this talent only reduced the mana cost of instant cast spells, and was often over looked by leveling shaman.

However even with mediocre attack power (my level 48 shaman has about 420 unbuffed) this talent will now give the enhancement shaman 126 spell damage and healing (something most leveling characters have yet to obtain) and at 70 assuming around 2000 AP which I know is possible, that would mean an even 600 spell damage and healing, a nice bonus but not game breaking since shocks are instant cast and have lower damage coefficients.

This should also boost the off-spec healing in lower leveled instances

To help illustrate the usefulness and versatility of this talent, Mental Quickness reduces the mana cost of the following spells and abilities: all totems, lightning shield, all shock spells, all weapon spells, stormstrike, bloodlust / heroism, purge, cure poison, cure disease, water breathing, water walking, and any spell cast while under the influence of Nature's Swiftness (Earth Shield was omitted from this list for obvious reasons, although it *would* benefit as well). When combined with other talents, it can reduce the cost of your shock spells by 16% and the cost of your totems by 31%. In addition, the 10/20/30% bonus to damage and healing from attack power helps make your shocks and spells hit harder, your healing totem heal for more per tick, and can allow you to perform as an emergency healer very well.

All around, you get a LOT of mileage out of this talent, I'd highly recommend it.
