Constant requests for Shaman and nothing in return

This seems like one of the only class forums where people from all specs are constantly asking for changes (and GREAT suggestions if you take a second to read now and then) and get NOTHING in return.

Now i’m a die hard m+ enjoyer. I love to sweat it out but I don’t enjoy FotM re-rolling, so to shaman I am bound. If we can’t get uncapped aoe for enhance, raid buff, or better defensives for the entire class, can we get cool little things that make us feel better at least about being shamans?

I even swapped to Elemental spec for this season because Enhancement is so far down in the dirt tier-wise, not getting any love. Capped damage profile means every class that can hit more targets on these gigantic pulls in m+ (pretty much required to beat these timers) makes my favorite spec least-likely to get picked by anyone trying to invite others with the best innate potential to time the key. Also, why pick shaman when AUGMENTATION is doing higher overalls while buffing the party?

Enhance is down bad, Ele is doing alright, survivability is a problem class wide, but I digress.

Besides the glaring issues in class balance, I just wanna see some type of love be shown to the class. Something is better than nothing;

Wolf skin recolours (we already have the green spirit wolf in game, we just need orange, white, purple, etc.) are super easy to just GIVE us, but for some reason we don’t have those glyph or barber options yet?

Insert “new ascendance model when?” rant here

Lightning re-color?

I mean something, man. Debating on letting my sub run out if I don’t see something soon.

Also… possibly unpopular opinion… but 2H enhance should have came back for storm build and allowed us to use Fy,ralath. Would have felt like classic wow with Hand of Ragnaros.

Having capped aoe makes it hard to get mythic plus invites. Being squishy makes it hard to get mythic plus invites.

Shamans get both. Woohoo.

Its a huge boost to the fun factor of the game when the healer tells the tank they are fine to pull more and the tank responds with, “There’s no point, we have capped aoe.”

Why did your group bring 3 shaman? If not, then it doesn’t sound like shaman is the issue. It’s either the uncapped aoe should be fixed, or others have the same issue. To be fair, the answer should be “the uncapped aoe should be fixed” because Blizzard literally said they didn’t want these large pulls and that’s why they changed the aoe to begin with. They need to fully implement their policies or not at all.
