Lightning Shield, what the hell were they thinking?

was 1 sec cd… its cutting down by 2/3 not one, as in will be doing 1/3 the dmg it was doing

This is the worst state rogues have ever been in

Been playing rogue main since 04 and decided to fully quit my rogue this phase. Full shammy gameplay now bb

Worst state you have ever seen? Right now they are 2nd on overall raid dps, being beaten only by hunters according to Warcraft Logs. If this is the worst state that you have ever seen, then rogues have been completely busted for decades.

There we go! I’m totally fine with a 3 sec icd, what I wasn’t fine with was the lies being told on forums to try and push for a super harsh nerf lol.

3 sec is great and now nobody will ever be at risk of killing themselves to an afk shaman. You can go back to stunlocking with no counter play as per usual programming :smile:

It’s a 3 sec icd now you big baby,
Which I think is totally fair!
Best of luck out there ( you will still get deleted by shamans )

AT the end of a few runes of BRD my mage had 1.2 mil damage from almost exclusively aoe packs. The tank spent 200 mana and did 1.8 mil, even a 3 second cd is generous instead of lowering the damage by ~85% and buffing the threat by 500%.

First think I did was get maelstrom, mental dex, and overcharge on my alt and while lvling and we 2 manned ZF because of lightning shield. by the end of 2 runs my 46 or 48 shaman dealt enough damage to almost kill ragnaros a second time.

Within its own niche, this is more overpowered than hunter pets phase 1.

I do wish instead of it proccing every 3 seconds they just reduced the damage by 66% and let it do the damage more consistently.

A rogue, stunning someone continuously for 15 seconds whilst still dpsing them and complaining that only 1 class they can’t 100-0 without them being able to press a button :joy::joy::joy::joy:

the difference being the rogue has to push buttons.

If it doesn’t die in two mutilates it should be nerfed is apparently the new litmus test for what’s OP.

LOL Nothing to see here folks, just a salty rogue that lies and overexaggerates to try and prove a point.

try dispelling their lightning shield next time

Paladin can do the same i tough. You can pretty much kill yourself when attacking them. I think it was prot Paladin that got something similar. I may be wrong.

Thank you so much. If you have to go ahead and tell people how to kill the class we are in a deep and troubled times. I mean what’s next? They will request and tooltip on how to counter a class because IQ and brain cells are simply non existant?

You can not heal stupidity. One of the diseases there is no cure… very much like cancer.

Cutting the DPS down to a third of what it once was is a super harsh nerf, and no one was telling lies. That Blue post really pulled your fat out of the fire just in time, no need for you to try to create another clown video.

9 x 186… doesnt add up friend

You and the other clown were lying.
But yeah like I said, I am fine with this change. I don’t even run OC for pvp? It’s a tanking rune lol ( rip shaman tanks) riptide far better for sustain when deleting rogues.

Where exactly did I lie?

Smells like cope in here

Literally only the bad pvp shamans were using OC, so if you were having troubles with them… yikes.

GL with rest of season.
