Leveled a Haranir Shaman in the hopes Ele was going to be good. It’s not. It’s horrible. I’m sorry if I come off as incensed in this post, but this is just showing the sharp frustration of how Elemental/and Shaman in general was allowed to become this bad.
Why is Ascendance STILL on a baseline 3 minute cooldown??? A 3 minute cooldown for ANY burst button is foolish in this day’s game. And outside of Ascendance the damage is awful. And why do we have to cast Elemental Blast? Make it instant cast and less Maelstrom. Something to ACTUALLY be worth taking. Right now if you get kicked on Elemental Blast you’re rendered useless on top of BAD survivability.
CC is horrible. A channeled cc (Lightning Lasso) way outdated in today’s game. Hex on a 30 second cooldown? What? And the target still gets to position themselves. Way outdated. Capacitor Totem on about a minute cooldown AND lost chain stun? What?
Elementals buffs are outdated terribly. You have to track FOUR mandatory buffs AND waste how many talents just to be kosher? This needs to be 1 buff.
Don’t even get me started on Elementals survivability cuz it’s not there. You are automatically the target of choice because Shaman just flops over.
Yeah we got a nice new Ascendance model but all you’re doing is basically giving a clunky old outdated class the Landlord Special.
It’s no wonder why you don’t see any Shamans in pvp content since preseason. I’m sorry but not touching Shaman until it receives its attention that it deserves. It’s not worth the pain. No matter how cool I think it is.
