I haven’t seen a more overtuned class in the entirety of wow history… and still just not being looked at…
In the perspective of PVP
cuz sorry pve people I don’t see any constructive argument from your side when all you people do is hit a computer controlled monster that does the same thing over and over again at 3-6 minutes fights… this isn’t for you…
But in what world is having a class that not only has interruption protection additionally have an ungodly amount of work haste that I’m itself not that hard to obtain as it’s in… wait for it… their own toolkit.
And let’s get into how ridiculous Starfall is whether it’s group play or 1v1 with a lot of classes have little to zero counter play for it. Then you ask yourself why people only ask for boomkins for bgs…
So instead of bickering let me give some suggestions on how to fix some of these problems
- keep the damage before everyone loses their minds I say keep the damage they do im on board with the 2k crits
- Vastly reduce or entirely remove the haste they receive. There is no reason they are the only class that gets a spell haste. Don’t act like they are the only caster that has ability that is longer than 2 second cast .
- Allow the dispel of Starfall. There is not a lot of classes that can dispel let alone stop the damage from happening BUT at least have a chance to stop it’s better than not having one
4.reduce the range of Starfall and star surge
Boomkins are fine. Skill issue
Did a malfunctioning AI write this? What interruption protection do they get? You mean push back?
More classes have CC than dispels and you can CC starfall… “You can’t stop it!!” What a BUM.

Paladins are the most OP thing right now. And melee hunters are something else too.

“i haven’t seen a more overtuned class in the entirety of wow history” Right there shows you don’t play sod. Shamans are the most OP in all specs every single phase. Until shamans are nerfed we wont be doing anything for Druids as they are in a great spot right now for once. Hope you have a great day Fearsnakes 
Only tank shaman is even still relevant. All of the FotM scrubs have rerolled into boomkins.

any cc counters them, also squishy .
meanwhile shaman is tank (i know you are a shaman), not as much dps.
you dont have much hard cc so thats why boomkins eat you
Just imagine on top of all of that damage, they also have more armor than a plate warrior with a shield on. And a base 70% pushback on all relevant damaging spells for simply existing.
But sod is dead, them balancing PvP isn’t bringing back people to make the queue pop. Folks are waiting for fresh and classic +. And praying for competent devs not snarky condescending know it alls.

If starfall didn’t cause spell pushback I’d be fine… but the fact that it takes me 10 seconds to cast lava burst while a boomie is jumping around in circles passively killing me without being able to retaliate is unacceptable.

Shamans didnt come online till phase 3 really. Riptide, earthshield, shaman rage moved to skillbook. These things catapulted shamans relative power level, especially the shaman rage change
You got bad memory. In p2 shaman was peak op abusing tank rune and dual rb, one shoting everyone.
It was actually a 2 shot because they had to press lava lash also to kill most decently geared players but your point stands.
Now I hit 60 on my boomy late Saturday night, hit the AH for some spell damage blues and got into an MC yesterday and was putting out 1.6k dps single target. Like wtf I don’t even have the rotation down 100% yet , I’m missing a trinket and a spell damage off hand and a couple pieces are mid level greens.
Haven’t pvp’d yet so no comment yet but Jesus this is busted compared to everything else I have experienced.
Wrong, the most overtuned, most powerful class in existence is Enhancement Shaman, hands down. It can crit for 30k with Lava Lash, instantly heal with Healing Wave for 13k, and Flame Shock for 6k. Don’t even get me started on Sham Rage and the 1000% mana regen for 45 seconds on a 45 second CD.
Well…I mean, that’s what people on the forums think anyway. It’s the most popular “nerf it” class on here.
Boomkins were much more of a problem in p2 with 100% scaling on star surge.
heh shaman were op in p2 and half of p3. all the others they either were trash (p1) or strong but not any more than 4th place on the pvp rankings.
meanwhile hunters have been top 3 easily for ALL OF SOD.
druids have been top in 2 phases and various other classes have been up there as well .
moonkin currently are almost at the levels of p2 way of earth dual wield rb shaman and pre trap launcher nerf hunters.
they are in fact everything they said ele shaman was in p3 but with 10 extra yards range, better dots, better defensives, ect ect.
but its funny watching people defend them who are also the same ones who were going crazy about ele shaman.

Druid has been insane since p1 where you could full kill people at 46 yards with starsurge.
