Is Earth Shield ever going to be fixed?

So tired of earth shield just dropping off immediately after buffing it.

had it fall off 4 times before it finally stayed buffed just now.

Shaman is a heavily buggy class. Thunderstorm is still bugged with the traveling storm talent. We pay $15 a month for this?

May I ask what spec you are? And were you zoning into different zones or taking any damage when you put Earth Shield on yourself.

Resto with permanent earth shield talent, in a M+, before key insert I had to reapply it 4 times to the tank because it kept falling off.

Happens for elemental on rare occasions, but not nearly as often.

Could it be a phasing issue like zoning into a dungeon those always wipe my shields and I have to reapply them

It is very annoying, happens all the time in BGs as well. Usually takes 3 or 4 times. Didn’t happen before 11.1 so they clearly broke something on the last major patch.

I’ve been noticing this even during leveling…

I just recently had a fight where I had to reply after every hit and the moment combat ends it’d drop regardless. Sometimes it lasts for a few fights but mostly it just bugs and fails the moment it activates.

Still bugged. Still requires 2-4 casts to get it to stick when using elemental orbit

I can’t say I’ve ever run into this.

Then you’re not playing resto shaman.

I do from time to time and I haven’t personally seen it. Sucks that it’s happening to you though.

I’ve not noticed this but I will be honest, I’m use to old school Resto mind where every time the tank started, I would refresh both water and earth shields… (super old habits die hard) I don’t play Resto often I’ll try to pay attention next time though.

Been happening to me, super annoying. Caused a wipe in a TOP as it fell off as soon as dungeon started to I had to dismount to reapply and missed the rogue shroud through the first pack.

Yeah I experienced this in the war within dungeons. I really think they have staff that are trying to work with an “engine” they are super unfamiliar with. But ya this used to be a mythic+ preveny you from prestacked with random buffs outside situation, now it happens in normal dungeons and whatever.

I dunno someone is copying pastaing a lot of things sloppily is what a lot of the expansion feels like to me tbh.

Still happening.

I can confirm this, ES will fall of pre match. Haven’t experienced it falling off mid game though.

It’s kinda nice to hear that it’s happening in PVE aswell so maybe it will actually get fixed eventually. In a pvp match Earth Shield will remove itself repeatedly until about 15 seconds go by in the starting area. Personally, this bug only occurs for me when my Resto Shaman is using Therazane’s Resilience talent. I have never seen this bug occur playing Elemental and I play both specs often.

Huh… I wonder if it’s a byproduct of some anti-“cheating” code that’s designed to prevent us from carrying buffs the group doesn’t have into the instance.

Before arena starts always need to cast twice
