FIX shaman

the thread is currently a 27 min read and i dont want to read the full thread to respond to points that are 160+ posts ago.

sorry.

Yea that’s how totems work. You can put totems down though at instant speed. Is grounding totem useless because someone can wand it? No. They have to hard target the totems to do this. Be better at using totems.

You think that totems are useless because they can be killed. You’ve the mindset of a hard stuck 500 ranked arena player. You couldn’t help yourself much less anyone else.

Ok? And? I can use that heal in a 1v1? And only a 1v1? What argument is that?

No it doesn’t.

You do NOT run Sac Shield as ret. You can run Fanat. It’s about crit on gear then, and whether crit heals on flash is worth it. But flash heals for 300 or less as ret EVEN when using the libram in PVP. So uh, not going to make a massive difference.

NO. WE ARE NOT. You are because you’re a braindead monkey who can’t follow a conversation. I don’t care about JUST enhance. Get out of my thread.

What buffs have paladin received? The only change they did was make the twist last for 6 seconds. Even if they nerfd it to 2 seconds, i would still use it and you would still rage. It used to be .400 milliseconds. What about paladin is OP? The fact we can seal twist? Lol

Exactly how I figured you would respond. I never said they were useless dumbass. I merely said they arent a big game changer as many think. You would have to play a shaman to notice how many times that Tremor totem you drop .5 secs before you get feared only for it to not pulse you out of it. Rogue blinding you only to destroy the poison cleansing totem you drop just before the blind.

Please tell me what class you play on SoD? is it a paladin? Why bring up arena rating when it has no value here in sod. No one that is playing SOD gives a sh1t about retail. lol

I’m still willing to help you once you tell me which class you are having trouble with against Shamans and their OP totems. lol

Are you talking about since Classic Classic? You said that twisting was ok because it’s been in the game before. Since that time, a mechanic that was a BUG and not intentional design has become a part of the game alongside the increase in damage, stats, and access to instant attacks for paladin. When I say buffs I mean from Classic to SoD.

But I am not raging, I am making a statement. Seal twisting in 1v1 with all the tools tht paladins have in SoD IS too powerful. In that specific situation. It’s an unintended game bug that has been allowed to remain for a PVE mechanic that has an adverse interaction with burst damage in small scale 1v1 PVP. That shouldn’t be a controversial take, and I main a paladin.

You should read what I am saying, instead of jumping down my throat for disagreeing with you.

Ah… HA!

Tell you what go look up some of Arkaviun pvp videos. You might learn a thing or two on how to fight shamans.

I’m only a paladin… Reading is difficult. No pictures here in the forums =( mb

You act like this is a gotcha? I never hid that. I also have 4 other 60s including a shaman and a shadow priest. Get lost.

lmao… sure thing Mr. Rank 1 in retail.

Your arguments are full of straw.

Been a long time since the last time I came here.

You mean the 2.5 sec cast time rune ? For ret ? Really ?

Well let’s move on.
FoL is not better than lhw because it heals a third of what lhw can.

Thanks to maelstrom weapon lhw is instant and mana free.

Right now my lhw rank 3 (I learnt it at lvl 36) has the same healing potency as my FoL rank 6 (I learnt it at lvl 58).
My lhw rank 4 (lvl 44) is better than my FoL rank 6.

To hope to reach the power level of LHW you must sacrifice the head slot rune, the back slot rune and the boots slot rune. And even with these runes you still need a crit FoL to reach the full potential (fanatiscism hot + sacred shield hot).

Now the ugly part :

  • Sacred shield is a magic buff.
  • Fanatiscism is a magic buff.
  • FoL hot is a magic buff.
  • You lose the melee crit conversion for exorcism.
  • You lose the 2 sec cd reduction on exorcism for every successful melee crit.
  • you lose the 80% mana reduction cost on exorcism.
  • You lose the dot on righteous vengeance.

I have a genuine question for you. When you play a class that revolves around magical buffs to dps/survive and most of your time you encounter an overrepresented class that can dispel those buffs on the opposite side… Do you really want to waste your resources on insignificant buffs ?

Imagine if paladin could dispel every weapon imbue AND every shield (lightning/ water / earth) with a ranged ability wtih nearly no mana cost. Would you waste more resources on them ?

The possibility to seal twist martyr and command maybe ? Because you couldn’t twitst SoC and SoM at first and martyr didn’t exist 20 years prior to SoD.

Or the T1 6 pc bonus that let you seal twist more easily and judge 2 seals at the same time.
Or the T2 2 pc bonus preventing seals to be consumed.

Examples among many others.

is not a buff, its a set bonus on gear, and being able to twist SoC and SoM was implemented in way earlier phases. Shamans have received far more “buffs” than a paladin has Overall in SoD. Paladins have been nerfed more than Shamans have

You may think differently but it’s a buff, an indirect buff yes but a buff.

And SoC/SoM seal twisting was introduced during phase 3 so not so far in fact.

Does bubble prevent you from healing?

Yes it does.

In PvP you 100% do the fact that you don’t just proves you are bad at PvP.

Yes we are you can literally go back and read everything I said and what I responded to was THIS.

THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT ENH. STOP MOVING THE GOAL POST PSEUDO INT BUM.

Yeah what are you gonna run instead the dot on crit that breaks CC? Oh noes a 2.5 sec STONGEST heal in the game that can be cast in bubble during rep during a hoj during a grenade. Yall are helpless and have 0 room to adapt.

It heals way more than an enh shamans lhw. It gets a hot and 2 hots if you crit.

Good luck getting to your target as enh to get 5 stacks to cast a 600 lhw…

And what other runes are you gonna run in PvP? Those are the best PvP runes…

You need none of this in PvP.

THis is literally how paladin works. Imagine fighting disc priests shamans and mages in tbc and wrath as a paladin lots of fun. I will say that ret needs sanctified seals but the other stuff should be purgable.

Yeah enh’s one good match up is vs ret because ret doesn’t have sanctified seals. Ret is still better than enh over all. Also I guess the only class you ever see any time in PvP is a shaman or a priest. good to know.

And also this has never been me saying paladins are OP. This started out because some pseudo int BUM said that enh only received 1 pvp nerf which is FALSE. And then he kept moving the goal post to appear correct because that is what pseudo int BUMs do. And yeah I think ret has way more healing capability than enh. And if you think otherwise go get a enh shaman to 60 and try to PvP show me how many heals you can cast before you die.

Repentance was your argument. So stop flip flopping and being wrong.

I play a paladin. No. It. Does. Not. A critical heal for that spell in ret with ret gear in PVP heals around 3k. I have 6k HP. Stop lying.

Incorrect. You run art of war unless you want to be oom 3 seconds into the fight. And not have access to your most significant sticking power from your only ranged damage. YOU don’t PVP because you’re garbage at the game.

No you keep trying to change the subject. This is not a discussion on exclusively enhancement. Delete your forum account and leave us alone.

No it hasn’t. Read the first post in this thread. I made it. It’s never been about only enhancement. Get lost.

LHW rank 6 base healing: 832-928
Flash of Light rank 6 base healing: 348-389

From the start, LHW heals over twice what flash of light heals. Even if you have Sac Shield (which you won’t because it’s hard countered by purges, of which every shaman has) and fanaticism, you’re only getting ON PAR with LHW healing when you crit with FoL AND over time. Meaning that it’s just a worse heal. That’s math.

Point being proven again. FoL heals for 280 as ret in PVP, less than half what LHW heals. And if paladins have such easy access to a 1.5 second heal, SO DO SHAMAN.

The dot damage is a significant amount of boosted damage when combined with the extra crit when facing tough enemies. It’s a trade off. You can run fanat/divine light, fanat/Righteous Vengeance, or Wrath/Vengeance. The latter is a little weaker imo as 18% crit on heals is just better. But it’s not amazing either. It’s very mid. Getting healed for 18 every second isn’t going to keep the shaman from hitting me with 1800 lava bursts to death. And then another 900 from their overload proc.

You 1000% need the mana cost reduction and cooldown reduction on exo for PVP. Tell me that you’ve never played a paladin without telling me you’ve never played a paladin.

No one cares. No one is making this argument. You’re arguing a strawman. LEAVE.

No it wasn’t it started out with rep hoj bubble grenade stop moving the goal post BUM.

I see 4k+ crits and you get the hot on top of that so yeah it is a full heal.

Nah you don’t… you don’t have enough up time to make real use out of art of boar.

I PvP more than you and you clearly suck at paladin.

I responded to a statement about enh you pseudo int BUM. delete your forum account you wanna be Mozart loser.

I didn’t respond to the first post so it doesn’t matter I responded to a FALSE statement about enh.

Go make an enh and see how much it heals for bud. You will never be able to out heal any damage as enh. You will die.

Then you are running the wrong runes and not using blessing of light. Once again procing how bad you are at PvP. Sucks to suck.

Ya don’t

I have played more paladin than you ever will bud.

This was directed at some one else BUM. Keep staying trash at PvP bud.

I was going to go line by line and destroy every argument, but then I realized your comments violate so much of the CoC it’s easier to report you and move on. Continue to be wrong, bad, and also banned hopefully very soon. Then the thread can resume without your harassment.

You can destroy nothing.

Continue to run hide and be a pseudo int BUM.

Bro what are you even talking about? I assume you don’t have the ability to comprehend when a comment is directed toward you? You may have posted stuff yourself, yet i haven’t actually seen any of YOUR posts. But then again, this comment was directed toward the OP and not yourself…

I made a similar thread myself, so the replies were confusing to me. I thought this was that thread. My mistake.
