Can we chill with the Shamans?

It’s getting absolutely gnarly just how much the entire keys are only accepting meta,. Shamans are everywhere, in fact, they’re double dipping shamans because they’re so good. Like it’s not even fun anymore. It’s all Shamans, Assassination Rogue, and Warrior Tank. This is trickling down even to lower keys like 8-10s.

Please fix shaman classes, as they are just absolutely dominating and busted in every spec/role right now, head and shoulders above the rest.

The shaman nerf does nothing, it only stops one side of their attack arsenal. They can easily just swap to another element build and do same insane damage. The nerfs didn’t do anything to them ultimately.

They’re nerfing Shaman’s lightning build, they can just swap to earth build and still pump. It doesn’t address any of the issues — is that the entire dungeon rotation core is favored for shamans mainly. and bc of this, most people just want shamans. I’ve seen 2 dps shaman and resto shaman in a 12 key …

Yeah but if they’re all not using Purge and interrupts then they’re as good as useless.

October 29th, that’s tomorrow

That’s when changes are being made to Shamans

What you’ve seen in the past won’t matter tomorrow

NO! This just proves that what is really needed is a Shaman Tank class.

That way meta could include

  • Shammy tank
  • 1 or 2 shammy DPS
  • Shammy heals
  • Plus 1 support class. (Or maybe two if only 1 shammy dps is taken.)

Is Augvoker still good? That could compliment a 4 Shaman group pretty well

A Shaman tank WOULD be nice, as there are many overlaps between ehnc/ele

For the first time in like 18 years shaman are good. They deserve some time to shine.

Nice thought, but I no longer do content on my hunter any more. I’m one of those old guard SV hunters that never adjusted to melee. Which means I just hang around the forums to upvote threads that complain about the, long ago, dumpstering of my favorite class/spec. Though I’m mostly over it now… lol

Note: It was an oblique reference to a meme on the old Warcraft Hunter’s Union website where Frosthiem used to say that Hunters were the master class and all other roles were mere support classes for hunters. :slight_smile: If Shammy is really the new uber meta class, maybe they take the role of “master” class and every other class/spec in the game becomes support for them…

It’s not enough that he’s good, others must be made to suffer

They’ve always been secret meta. Since their entire kit is all about using totems and CC, most of the time it doesn’t matter if you take them. Now that content needs at least 20 forms of CC at any given time, they’re shining. Thrall Metzen is eating happy

24% nerf is nothing? Ok.
