Blizzard really dropped the ball on this one. Enh shaman is by far the most busted pvp spec in the game. Also the definitive hard counter to ret. It’s literally impossible to duel one of similar gear and win as ret. I don’t care what anyone else says. I tickle them for two seconds until I’m at 10 hp from two shocks and have to bubble. By the time I heal my mana is at 0 and they rofl as they finish me off while I uselessly flail around waiting for my unsealed 4 second auto attack to hit the stoneskin totem before I die. If shaman is going to be this broken ret needs huge buffs.

Can we get that one pally in here to write a romance novel about how nothing can defeat pally?

Yeah but rets are supposed to be that too. It’s just ridiculous that we cant even come close to competing with them in melee with 100% uptime no matter what.
So you want to make it easier to beat shamans? Any other classes you want added to the list? Do tell.

I’m just asking for it to be possible. That’s all. Not asking for too much here. I know it’s the cool edgy thing to do right now to just come in and hate on every single op but you know im right about this
Personally, I just love that despite multiple iterations of classic, people are somehow only just now realizing that Shaman is an absolute monster.

Just use this to defend yourself when the romance-pally comes to say its just you:

They are completely different in sod. They are not proccing off of a huge lucky wf with 2h they are using consistent shocks that do way too much dmg and they are way too tanky even for tank. Tanks should not be able to burst THAT hard it’s way too much dmg the whole point of a 1h with shield is that they are trading dmg for tankiness and will widdle their opponent down with high survivability rather than 2 shocks and now I’m at 10 hp oh and also my entire burst opening only did like 10% of their health. Just ridiculous what was blizzard thinking here.
Meme post right?

How is this a meme have you ever dueled an enh?
You have 300 hp at level 25?
I have 1400 hp
Game isn’t balanced around 1v1.
Sorry you lost in PvP.

Yeah, you should be fine. One of the few classes with a good hard stun atm, you have freedom, and bubble, can rebuke their attempts to heal, I checked your logs and you have deady strike of the hydra.
This is 100% a skill issue, not entierly sure what you are doing incorrectly, but…

I promise you it’s not a skill issue my skill is fine I rarely even struggle with meta locks. Shaman trinket the hoj immediately I have no other cc for them. I have to waste swings on stoneskin totem and by the time I hit it once I’m dead
Okay look, I am sorry if I sounded like a edgelord a-hole. Sincerely. Let me try again
In my opinion I dont think pvp balance should be based on dueling. Now that said, it can be used as some indicators of classes in need. I kinda wish pvp feedback would come from the best players in the world. Players like Snutz, Ziqo and Cdew should be listened to and their feedback could be very helpful to the development team.
I also feel that feedback about 1v1 fights is kinda pointless at level 25 and the only thing we should care about is level 60 pvp. The next phase is going to create some insane abilities with stupid combos. There will be a ton of balancing patches and tuning happening over the first few weeks. Just sit back and enjoy it. Its about to get nutty.
So bust out your gong, put on your clown shoes and buckle up. This is going to get silly.
Let them cook and WAIT to see what happens.
