i saw the video of a shaman literally instantly winning a duel that just started because of lava burst instant casts. Yeahhhh it needs a nerf.

no. dont nerf my overpowered spells, if you dont like it just play as a shaman too its easy to level. Why go thru this awful ringer of hoping they will fix this broken server? just join us in our overpowered crapfest
there is a way to beat them and i freaking figured it out. Demonology SL lock. their burst cant break thru her self heal drains.
really? i somehow doubt that. the damage is so low on that build they probably just heal it back up with some lesser healing waves
They could nerf how hard lvb hits but have it put a stacking debuff on that increases its DMG or something that makes it hit harder than it does now so that way in pve it wonât gimp us and doesnât cause it to be so egregious in PvP unless you let a shaman hard cast 5 lvb on you and somehow are still alive.

I also saw a video of an arcane mage 1-shotting someone.
And a hunter chim shotting x2 any melee to death.
And a shadow priest dots completely melting anybody who couldnt dispell them.
See where I am going with this?

really disingenuous to compare arcane mage dumping their entire mana bar on the chance to 1 shot 1 dude every 2 mins to the rest of theseâŚspriest isnât even on the same spectrum as both dps shaman specs. the only thing remotely comparable is hunter double chim shot and boomkin, but 1. they arenât faction specific and 2. arenât nearly as busted in a team fight with the added team utility on top of insane damage
No my point was in that scenario every proc lined up for the ele sham. Just like an arcane mage being able to do the same. Not every single encounter with an ele shaman the planets a line for them with procs. Dispell their flame shock and you can basically shut them down.
in a 1v1 yes for sure. dude got insanely lucky, most fights with an ele shaman 1v1 donât end that fast, theyâll likely be fishing for that proc (against paladin even longer usually)
when you have flame shock spread to a whole team, that power surge overloaded lava burst nuke is gonna happen a whole lot more often
I mean thats fair. Perhaps a nerf to burn rune so it only spreads to 2-3 targets or if the opposing team just spreads out more. Its aoe range is fairly limited. I usually saved it for the annoying humomonkeys
Also, without the STV relic you have to get pretty close to cast it
that or they could even maybe let it spread to 5 but cap the proc chance at like 10% or something. or idk man, I usually cleanse it ASAP on me so I donât see first hand what it usually ticks for, but Iâm hearing itâll crit for like 700 in damage reduction meta which is nuts. thatâs gotta be toned down somehow
I know Iâve been up in every shaman thread calling for nerfs, I donât want to see the class be gutted or unplayable despite what some annoying dweebs say, I just want PVP to be fun to play and right now it feels like the power balance is WAYYYY too lopsided.
spriest if given time along with a moonkin and hunter are just as busted as a shaman .
honestly in your zest to nerf shaman you dont see that these are actually on the same level if not more so op than shaman dr meta and non dr meta as well.
Oh 100%. I wont be the first to say that ele sham are extremely strong and probably need some tuning. Especially when procs happen or back to back. I know its not fun on the receiving end.
With a dispelled flame shock, I rarely have had a lava burst crit. Ele sham crit talents are all for lightning bolt or chain. Its the first thing I will do on my ally priest, having played a ele sham.

sure thing.
shaman /hunter/spriest/moonkin all need individual tuning and not this dr crap meta.
they all need a touch up.
this is ambiguous enough that yes I agree with you on this statement 
ive made a post about it where i agree that shaman are op finally.
but also that hunter/moonkin/spriest are op as well.
they all need the touch up.
feel free to post there.
Rogues are right up there too. Paladins are far behind⌠Warriors need some loving and Ferals⌠lastly MAGES too. lol

I legit feel bad for mage players in every DR meta
pour one out for our mage homies who had to spend every phase picking up books all across 7 different galaxies like some nerd just to get wrecked the hardest in a DR meta with no tuning in sight

I have a lv40 mage just chilling to see how things turn out at 60. But, right now they are in no way fun.
