I love this. Your not best of the best so you are now trash. Lets face the reality of the fact that they were OP and needed it
Great line of thinking… 
Its not RIP at all. They will still be good and viable.

Glad i didn’t buy this expansion. Was gonna play enhance/resto but after 17 years of playing Shaman I have 0 faith in blizzard to balance them. When they are under performing blizzard leaves them alone. When they are competitive blizz nerfs them back to under performing. When this happens once i can look the other way, but they literally have been doing this since CATA. It’s now a meme class.

This is the most ridiculous nerf I have seen in 16 years of playing this game. 1 Line. No explanation. The offending PVP 2 shot could have been easily addressed without gutting the entire spec. Given spell interactions and proc based modifiers many abilities took more than a 25% nerf. If this isnt reverted all my excitement for DF and the future of the game which has looked so promising will be gone and Ill simply focus on IRL stuff as I should probably already be doing. This game has been great but the let downs and constant disappointment has reached its’ peak with this.
No you cant have my stuff.

Just not insane numbers with spinning crane kick, which means they are dead haha.
Sarcasm of course. People always overreact when the metas get nerfed.
Ok if prepatch numbers didnt matter then why wouldnt they say they are implementing these changes at launch? What would the purpose be to change things now cause pre patch esentially shouldnt matter but they havent made any statement so who knows their reasoning.

They will probably still be top dps even, they were just so broken that they were easily 30-50% above the rest…
See you in Dragonflight!
Sadly blizz doesn’t separate PVP and PVE like FFXIV does and it sucks.

Can you make it only 25% ? i wasnt even using it actively in PVP, but this is overnerf.
The holy healing reduction was warranted.
The spriest damage, would have to test, i think it may be fine, but in some instances compared to other classes, even 10% buff is feeling a bit low.
In any case though. My immediate feedback would be to only nerf 25% Mindgames. All else is fine

No it wasnt, 100% cd reduction with so many Barber Shot procs was too much.
Either fix the procs or this

“Kill command resets are now a 25-50% chance”
WHY THOUGH??? BM was finally FUN to play WHY balls it up and turn it into needless rng?!

You know other classes exist right? Some you may find much more fun.
The real concern and reason for “RIP” is that chances are this tuning will not JUST be pre-patch but will carry over into DF and take the wind out of WW.
Besides, I’ve played as Feral for the last 6 years or so, through the horrible tuning and removal of survivability. So the “if you’re not best of the best” comment doesn’t really apply to my way of thinking or playing the game.
As I’ve said before, Blizz tunes with a sledge, not a screwdriver. They have a history of “over nerfing” and letting it go waayyyyy too long before correcting that.

So Im not the only one.
Playing feral in pug keys the last few years taught me the lesson of rejection

Oh yes.
The secret is to stand in balance form until the key starts , I kid I kid. But really, it works
