I say this in a lot of these threads, but Blizzard has to keep us down. If we even start to get middle of the pack, they get nervous. If they hit the top, everyone would be a shaman, because it is thematically, and mechanically (theoretically) the best class.
Shaman is so cool, and fun to play. By far the most fun I have leveling anything, every time (barring BfA, because I couldn’t stand to level anything lower than 110). Its just a CC thing on blizzard’s part, lol.
