And Ele got nerf for PvP

Classes Shaman
1

*Lightning Lasso now lasts 5 seconds (was 6) and deals 40% of the target’s maximum health in damage (was 48%).

  • Lava Shock (Azerite Trait) effectiveness reduced by 60% when engaged in combat with enemy players (was previously reduced by 50%).

  • Stormkeeper now increases Lightning Bolt damage by 125% when engaged in combat with enemy players (was 150%).

If anything im happy, i knew the nerfs were coming but was expecting an over nerf that Blizzard does all the time.

Ele is still strong tho.

If you get to land it though, hard against all those rogues and warriors with reflects.

Not hard at all, a warrior put up reflect and all it did was give me time to drop skyfury and stormkeeper, but he just died to a nearly 70k earth shock the second reflect dropped

It seems like a lot of people ain’t playing Ele properly m8, but yeah is not hard at all.

That’s quite a big duration for a match against the warrior, I find it weird you didn’t die in the first 5 seconds stun.

You’re in a sad state m8, go actually gear up and play. Ele is an amazing state.

And what 5s stun? Warriors only have a 4s stormbolt.

it was only 1600s, I jus 2s for fun. Warrior was pretty bad but no one could expect that burst, not even me.

my highest shock before this was only 63k, but taste for victory, torrent of the elements, bad and master of the elements lined up perfectly

All those lineups required just to reach the damage of a critical colossus smash+mortal strike which take 2 seconds

:joy::joy::joy::joy:

I never said 70k, you said 63k and added 7k out of nowhere
Col+MS can get to 60k, or at least I’ve fought warriors that did.

Super grateful that we weren’t kneecapped with the nerf bat like usual. These gradual changes are how all nerfs should be done, imo.

See why i dont play shamans any more. Blizzard is nerfing an already bad class…rip shamans for the rest of bfa.

This is why i tell people not to play shamans.

Elemental is actually very very good right now. If you are struggling with it that sucks but it might just be you.
