Several months ago I was 0% there. About 20% there now.
I think enh shaman instant healing themselves is a line that should have never been crossed, well that and the instant casting ele nukes with melee.
I just got owned by a boomie because I didn’t have poisons on and messes up my opener.
I wonder how you can mess up as a boomie or priest mechanically, is it even possible?
ya boomie is easy to play if you can chill in the back and free cast besides that we die
Explain to me right now what Divine Shield does.
DS was fine before yall got CS/DS/EXO and twisting…i mean cmon why even have the speed nerf. Yall having a ranged casted ability is like mages having a staff that hits for 1500. T
last spriest i ran into on my druid melted in like 4 bear mangles with berserk up.
i really dont see an issue.
Bro if you think paladins are op right now I don’t know what to tell you. Phase 1 or 2 I probably would have agreed with you.
Paladins are doing half the damage of shamans at 1/10th of the range and arguably no tankier. outside of spinning ab flags with bubble are approaching near uselessness
Honestly seems like it would have to be with zerker buff or PI, and still like 10% chance to crit.
Biggest crit I have done is 3.8k and that’s with full world buffs and consumes parsing orange, not to mention without high stamina gear for PvP.
I highly doubt everyone is critting that high in PvP without buffs and at any reasonable occurrence.
Without buffs I crit ~2.4-2.8k and about 8% of the time, it averages to like 1.6k per Starfire cast.
think you’re getting pvp and pve mixed up
Spinning ab flags in pve. What raid is that?
Only bad pvp’rs think boomy is still op
The rest of us are collecting free honor from them.
Rando bgs isn’t where you should be gauging how good a class is tbh
They do a ridiculous amount of damage but are no where near shaman levels of broken. Boomie is about 50-50 for paladin I feel depending on how many stun procs and crits they get
Well I think they’ve seen how too much power creep screws things up. So hopefully in Classic+ they temper it more.
That said, the real issue here is their raid centrism and disregard of pvp balance. They are perfectly willing to sacrificed the pvp community so their coddled raid loggers can have every single spec parse well. If they never depart from that, Classic+ is DoA.

So where do you gauge it then oh PVP God? Please enlighten us. You’re starting to get into meme territory because you’re just making know-it-all statements without explaining the reasoning behind anything.
SoD is it’s own thing and we all haven’t been no lifing it since Phase 1.
i’ve been playing shadow priest and they dont feel op lol. I am on alliance so maybe its just that bad for us but, i get deleted in bgs in 0.5 seconds every. single. time. and my dots get dispelled and their hp bar barely goes down
I think it just sucks being Alliance period and you are auto handicapped by it no matter what class you play. All of Alliance might be AFK running until AV comes out.
They were more powerful in Wrath S8, more powerful in Cata S10, S11, more powerful in Legion LS1 LS2. All those seasons had more powerful versions of the Spriest.
I guess you all stopped complaining about shamans nonstop as soon as a few people who actually played SoD shams came out and said they were still getting wrecked by normal people on different classes from time to time.
Cant beat it, nerf it? Na. It’s a skill issue.
Wrath predates 15 years. Barely anyone played Cata, especially PVP and they sucked in PVP in Legion, they were only busted in raid on pure ST bosses.
Their dots aren’t what made them strong in Wrath PVP, it was the whole package, dropping form, hybrid healing.
Cata nerfs hybrid healing indirectly because they global inflate everyone’s base HP by a lot. Hybrids still heal for a lot, but one heal no longer heals 1/3 of your bar.
I would say competitive premades and world pvp. Classic is all about the world being alive and all the fun that comes with that. They killed the world in sod and are turning this into a knock off retail though.
Random bgs nobody dispells, kicks, ccs calls prio targets. Classes like boomkin can just stand back there giggling casting away until hes oom 6 seconds later giggling the entire time.
Have you played a shadow priest and gone against a shaman?
