Good change in my opinion for pvp, however just change the frost trap to a grenade and make the radius 10yd as many have suggested to not break an already trash play-style in pve. Also…. Insane fast response to hunters again… yet shamans lololololololololol blizzard
Yea I agree the nerf was needed but it wasn’t the right fix. Maybe in a month when they get around to nerfing shaman power by 4% they throw us a bone 
lol what is the number % wise that they have to nerf shaman for you guys to quit crying and moaning?
is it 4%? 10% ? 50%? 80%?
i mean for real .
if you spent as much time figuring out how to go against shaman as you do crying, maybe you would have more luck?
Hunter players at this point have every right to ask for a nerf on Shamans after Shamans have been allowed to run wild for 3 straight phases while Hunters are the endless recipient of the nerf bat.
I don’t usually drink the kool-aid of “the devs play Shamans” but it is damn sure starting to feel that way.
hunters have been top 3 in pvp and pve dps for the entire lifespan of sod.
Personally, I think they should have just made frost trap root only ONCE.
And nerf the initial hit of explosion trap and buff the dot damage.
Explosion trap is a worse offender then frost trap imo.
Whatever number doesn’t make them crazy OP like they have been for the last 2 (going on 3 now) phases. And hey take your own advice; hunters got a big nerf like you wanted so stop crying about them.
You never learn, don’t you? When people say “nerf shaman”, they mean elemental. No one cares about your beloved enchancement, since it is in the same trash tier as warriors, rets and other melees in pvp. Stop playing a victim all the time.
Riptide and earth shield locked for resto only (tie it to mana tide talent)
Burn rune nerfed in pvp (spread) and we are good.

heh the problem got addressed in the wrong way with hunters.
funny how you cant even comprehend hunters in before the nerf were way more imbalanced than anything else in the lifespan of sod and even better than p2 way of earth dual rb enh shaman.
but please keep crying.
youll get those tears out soon enough.
Huh? No enhancement is a total issue. They can throw up their earth shield with healing gear on and swap sets then just frost shock and 6-8 hit you in a GCD.
Enhancement is in a way better spot
How so enh healing got gutted… And so you need to have a FULL resto set to swap to to make ES ticks heal for 350 instead of 250?
Here we go again with this.
Hunters are the ONLY, let me repeat that… ONLY class that has only ONE JOB which is to DPS and on a few fights throw out tranq shots.
Hunters are supposed to be at or near the top on dps because of that alone.
Shamans have THREE jobs. They can heal, tank, or dps and at points have been at the top of all 3.
If you don’t see the problem here then you are part of the problem.

because it’s not true lol
heres a thought experiment for you to help you with this.
how many people at a time were affected by p2 woe dual rb enh shaman? 5? 7?
now how many are affected by the pre nerf trap spam at once? 20+ even more?
and mind you this is in all the current content including av brm and every other chokepoint in the game including instance portals and the like.
tell me again how you think something affecting easily double the amount of people at once or even more isnt more broken than someone who had to single target people down and maybe got 7 people before they ran out of mana and suicided to get mana back when they rezzed.
but ya please go on with your biased judgement against shaman cause you cant get off the gut shaman train.
today a shaman learned what aoe is guys!
you can’t get off the victim train, only thing I’ve consistently had an issue with and called for nerfs on is FS spread.
lmao imagine more than one enhancement shaman running around. P2 enhance was the most broken thing since DK on original wrath release.
why are you suiciding after killing 7 people? you know there are drinks in the game?
more than one hunter i would say greatly affects 20+ people at a time even easier.
when 20+ people are stuck in traps your range can murder them easily with no resistance.
and the suicide was a bloodmoon strat 
for ambushing the next group .
Not true but lets say it was; it took like 1 week to get nerfed. Compared to shaman running hog wild OP for the majority of SoD with no end in sight. You have no integrity, you complain endlessly hunters but then sneer at anyone complaining about broken shaman as crybabies

aside from the p2 way of earth dual rb enhance shaman (which if comparing to hunter on most things was busted beyond belief) hunters have been top 3 in pvp and pve dps for the entire lifespan of sod.
EVEN WITH AND AFTER ALL THE NERFS.
to call anything but the burn rune spread being too much on shaman like they are something as strong as hunters is a lie.
hunters for the whole of sod have been very very good.
i will agree the spread on the burn rune is too much.
but i will not agree that ele sham is more op than current hunters and especially hunters before the launcher nerf.
ele sham has range issues that are hard to ignore if you have any mind at all for balance and any mind at all for tactics.
its stupid leftover nerf herders pissed cause p2 enh shaman put an ultra spotlight on anything shaman .
most of the people crying cant even tell the difference between a ele /enh / resto shaman and dont care to try and find out so they can try and go against them.
they cry and auto resign or afk at the gy .
you guys playing alliance know it all too well and would do good to report the people for being afk and not helping and get the doomers to stop doing bgs alltogether so you have more of a chance.
They are still being affected by trap spam… Because the launcher was never the issue…AND this only happens in AV and BRM even and yeah you should suffer in AV and BRM…It’s called AV Prison for a reason… and all it takes to take out the hunters is a couple of mounted wars with decoy totems
If you think that ele healing is not broken after they GUTTTEED every other hybrids healing into the grave you are delusional. Also all you need to beat a hunter is to pop wolves and sprint at them. They have no way of outrunning the wolves so cheetah doesnt get to be used and you get a 10 sec freedom to get ontop of them and you can grounding totem the trap. They lose that ez. Literally one flame shock does half my hp alone and if you get a insta powersurge proc? GG
The best part is that wolves will prolly be the only thing to get nerfed as well. And they will get nerfed because of ele which is just gonna screw enh over… boaring.
