like 3 enhancement shamans above 2400. Like 75+ DHs. Elemental has tons of ppl performing well above 2400.
Why is my class/spec that I choose to play specifically got battered when there exists so many other classes that are way more powerful. I dont understand and its disheartening

WoW is a team game trying to force a solo game to cater to people that aren’t good enough to understand how the team game works.
Enhance shaman is a support melee typically paired with warrior/ww which gives you a mortal strike cross cc chains and large amounts of damage in small windows when the targets are locked down.
Hard to utilize your team tool kit in a random match with random players.
Dh however sets up for itself and has its own mortal strike

You sure talk alot for someone who is is literally at the same level of pvp as someone who hasn’t played since wrath. Feelsbadman

I answered your question wth?
And you’re not the same rating as me in any bracket
Enhance shaman needs coordination with their team to shine. Dh can just W key by itself.
That’s why Enh shaman feels bad in a solo environment.

Some of the class tuning is actually comical when it comes to self survivability.

Nerf shaman tho dude, were terrorizing the leaderboards right now. There isnt like 30 DH above 2400 right now or anything
I mean what do you expect them to do? Solo Shuffle isn’t a great game mode to balance the game around for the exact reason that Amatox said:
Shuffle favors certain specs and doesn’t others.
imo if your spec doesn’t work like for example my BM hunter main is just miserable to play, just reroll. I went DH, slammed to 1900 and got bored and now want to try other specs but it’s so fast to level and gear that you can have a lot of alts.

Thats the problem tho, people like myself enjoy solo que. We don’t have the time or patience to find groups, so what your basically saying is the class you choose isnt viable for the activity you wanna do, and its your fault for choosing it since the company won’t balance it? Fun game dudes Idk how you guys stayed around for 5+ seasons of pvp, must have been more balanced back then

No what I’m saying is the game isn’t balanced for soloq and it was released without any effort to make it that way because Blizzard is not a good company for making MMORPG pvp
You seriously struggle with reading comprehension

If the game isn’t balanced around solo que why release a solo que game mode for everyone? Surely a multi million dollar company can do seperate tuning for game modes

You don’t have to nerf DH in 3s to specifically nerf them in solo shuffle. But they won’t. They see some BG +30% eleblast crit from shaman and decide thats the problem
This is pure nonsense. If anything, the devs are catering to their aging player base that can no longer devote 20+ hours a week to a video game. Like it or not, some people want to hop on, play a game or two and log off without scheduling time with teammates or LFG for hours to find the right comp.
Judging by your smug attitude it’s safe to assume you spend a good chunk of your time in WoW or on these forums, but some of us old school PvPers have real lives now.

The game just isn’t balanced around solo shuffle. From the inception of the idea we all knew there would be under and over performing specs based on the nature of the game mode. It has more to do with the basic mechanics and functions of class play styles and less with just overall balance.

You can balance numbers around a single game mode only. Nerf DH damage by 5-10% in solo que, or their healing… keep it the same in coordinated 3v3 where its no so overbearing. WHY won’t they do that. Instead of we have an unbalanced game mode where half the specs are unable to be competitive because they “choose the wrong class”. screw this nonssense why shouldn’t I be upset a B tier spec like enhancement is now C tier

There’s classes that are essentially unplayable in traditional 3s as well. Theres a ton of classes and even more specs. Not all of them are going to be good in comparison to others.
Also should note there are people making the “bad” classes work. It’s not impossible, just much harder. You keep playing, it’ll start to feel better.

There has to be a change in how balancing is done to account for game modes. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to nerf damage/healing of a spec in solo shuffle only, while keeping it un nerfed for 2v2 and 3v3 where coordination is more important than self sustain and zug zug burst
They’re already making PvP-only adjustments. Now you want them to break it down by queue? Keep dreaming. Blizzard barely cares about PvP as it is.

I mean dude they don’t even buff or nerf for PvP, they just apply a static PvE buff/nerf because that’s what they care about more and then apply that for PvP as well while slightly adjusting numbers and label it “PvP only” to throw is a bone.
There’s no proper tuning for only 2s or 3s or RBGs which came out long before solo queue.
I wouldn’t expect this company to magically change their ways to cater to PvP balance when they’ve failed at it every expansion prior.
The only hope I have for DF is that at least certain classes are getting tweaked weekly, like DH has gotten hit weekly since DF launched and believe it or not it was a lot stronger than it is now.
The weekly tweaks are better than them going in and doing major tweaks because they did that in SL and we were stuck with god awful class balance for 6+ months at a time because the game was on maintenance mode.
Seems like coping. Your assumptions are wrong. I work have a family and go outside. I play WoW in the evenings. I’m not playing 20hr a day or whatever you said.
I answered the question about how a class can be bad in soloq but not the regular arena game mode you miserable freak.
Sorry you’re trash at the game and can’t figure out a way to balance your time. Not sure how it’s my fault just cuz I can
