Imo, shamans are fine. People who QQ should just learn to play.

QFT, but imho shamans could definitely use some tweakings. especially in the enhancement part. and some improvement *a bit* in the resto part and they are good.

this guy wins, lol.

to ray: if you think ur class, or a particular class is screwed the most, you prolly need to broaden a bit on ur perspective. every class have their own problems.

I did not deny the problems of other classes (none were brought up in this thread anyway), so you don't need to deny/underestimate the problems of the Shaman class. How is it we're not the most screwed; when we only got half a class review together with Mages pre-TBC, but Mages got more changes later on. Where's ours? Do I need to remind you of the Stoneclaw totem change?

I don't know man. There has to be a reason for the Shaman population to decrease (realm info, wowcensus, etc) after TBC despite Alliance access to the class in the expansion.

Personally I think all hybrid classes got screwed royally.

Again, I don't know exactly how "awesome" they are. All I'm saying are the Shaman equivalents really suck donkey balls. 20 minute cooldowns meant the Elementals can't even be used in the Arena.

now that you bring up mages, how is mages any different pre bc and post bc, tell me that, then look back to your shaman. and since ur mainly addressing the new skills given, and that you bring up mages, take a good look at the new skills given to mages, and re-compare it to shamans.

really, not too much difference in terms of which class is getting screwed over. most screwed? it could be shamans, but i wouldnt be too sure on it.

Lol. Drink a mana pot more? U got windfury fixed not nerfed. Warriors got flurry nerfed to 25% hm? Not allowing enrage n deathwish to stack cos tool whine about getting 2-3 shotted in pvp. We take 20% more dmg(deathwish + berserker stance) from spells more than any other class (so called plate) and with that much incoming dmg, i wanna 2-3 shot ppl with my tier 2 blacksmith weapon which cost a bomb to make and way more time consuming(12 nethers hello) than any tailor noob. I would say every class over the time has gain something appealing or buffed like cloak of SKILL n wtf PVP GLOVES??, blessed resilience n lol shadow priests enuf said (ya i know u got a slight nerf), warlocks enuf said, invisibility iceblock, lol cyclone, haha paladins, bloodlust and i dun have a clue about hunter.
I'm no pro at any other class, its just off my head from pvp n pve experience. I've played my warrior for 2 yrs and practically every patch we get a nerf bat cos its alwaz "hey i got 2 shotted by this warrior", "hey fury warrior outdps me". Come late in TBC when T2 blacksmithing weapons were available same shit all over again.

We still have the same f***in skills available to us everytime but gotta nerf us. Dun even start with spell reflect cos firstly it needs 25 freaking rage and requires a shield. Y can't we just get tactical mastery as a trainable talent like freakin innervate. Warriors QQed for a yr and it was changed from a 5POINT talent to 3POINT talent moved to protection tree lol. And yeah weapon swap eats a GCD + changing stance. LOL.

I admit some of the nerfs are warranted. But in all honesty its mainly due to the itemisation especially weapons. But hey y not just nerf out talents right? lol. so sick of this bullshit. U see a blue gear warrior drained life by a lock but hey when the T2 blacksmith weapon comes out, they still win but cry "f*** ur ms hits me for 3k".

After playing a warrior for 2yrs n just see it get nerfed n nerfed, the initial overwhelming PVP experience has already worn out. I know i should just adapt to the surroundings n get used to it right (L2P right?) but its just not more "kick".
(I'm loved PVP and i have 80+k honor kills to my name and i've stop pvp close to half a year except for the occasional arenas  icon_idea.gif )

Thats y i became a pve tank noob. Sucks on farming side, but hey privileges of being a MT, guild bank sponsors and more phat loot! icon_rolleyes.gif

P.S - not intended to flame any1 but QQ on blizz. Viewing the quoted post sparked my "WoW" side to vent its frustration. Oh and i feel much better now hahaha.

wow pvp is balanced towards group pvp, and warriors paired with priest/shaman/paladin (maybe even druid) is retarded. even after the so called mass nerfings and still more nerfings, its still retarded.
