It’s funny how the damage is ok but the single defensive makes the class feel like a paper missle.
Running spriest ele evoker in 3s. Did 15 games won 12. Feels much stronger than lock/sham with burst setup. Rogues are the major counter.
As for solo ive only been queuing here and there, currently at 1300, but not having an insane time tbh.
then they will watch their subs fall just like every other year
Armor useless if most dmg has been moved off of being physical
That’s more a testament to you running with 2 other currently highly overpowered specs in that combo, more than anything in favor of Ele itself

Those teams tear everyone apart. On my lock it’s basically Swiss cheese time to die. You aren’t unique in this.
Enhance as well, I think it’s just Shaman in general.

You have a few more defensives to deal with it… a enemy teleport, your own teleport, gate, passive shield, a pet sac shield, soul link, kick immunity built into a better damage reduction… Yep we are totally the exact same in every way.

If you think locks defensives are as bad as shaman, I got something to tell you… Not even close.

Shaman survivability is a joke, and something needs to be done!

Not exactly. If that were the case, there would be a glaring disparity in my damage vs the spriest when the majority of the time it was almost equal. In ranked solo, the issues are much more obvious when people try to train me because everyone is zug and no cc. Shamans entire toolkit currently is high burst with root and snares. Partnering with a class like spriest and evoker add to that cc.
Going into ranked solo is a different beast and just sucks my soul.
Don’t need to sacrifice damage to be viable period. They let dh,warrior,ret,dk,feral have all the dps with defensive capabilities shaman should be no different!

It’s never sat well with me that a DH/DK/Rogue can continue to dps through their immunities (AMZ, Bubble, Cloak) but a shaman can’t attack AND gets movement penalty for taking ethereal form (which only immunes physical dmg).
