They need their flame shock proc limited to 1 instant cast every 10 seconds. Its absolutely disgusting how they can 100-0 someone without casting right out the bat. And skyfury totem needs a 2 min cd base.
Oh and nerf their damage by 50%

I wonder if they’ll just do what they did with Shadow and reduce LvB procs from Flame Shocks while in PvP. Maybe that’d feel bad and nerfing Lava Burst from Ascendance procs affects actual gameplay less.
Yeah, 45-60k dps while not casting and being generally uninteractive isn’t the healthiest.

They need to do that or something huge. Its absolutely disgusting how shamans can pump 60k consistantly
They should just remove/rework deeply rooted elements imo. Shaman can already line up enough 1-2 global damage with stormkeeper, mastery stack, guaranteed overload from primordial wave. No need to throw random ascendance procs in the mix.

Should do that to all casters honestly, while toning down the melee to compensate. No reason to have rounds ends so quickly when we play for 6mins and then wait an hour to play again.

Don’t want to defend Ele since I think the whole specc needs a complete overhaul…
But c’mon guys… don’t exaggerate here. You act like an Ele could easily deal 60k DPS EVERY game, that’s complete unrealistic.
It can happen but it’s SURELY not every game and it only happen if he is COMPLETELY ignored cc-wise.
Most of my games but also the games i see from streamers I am more or less on par with the other DDs.
If I am ignored completely i can be 10-20% stronger.

There’s also the fact that Ele is one of the squishiest targets in game. All their heals are casted with only ES and Healing Stream totem as passive. Both require you to use a global, so it’s actually active.
You can’t nerf their damage, they won’t be viable. That’s part of being a glass canon, they have to be canons. So if you nerf the damage, then give Ele some defensives.
Meanwhile rogues and wars run around with 100% uptime doing 40k DPS pveing and being the two top classes played. So let’s be realistic about what needs to be nerfed.

Are they really a glass cannon though??
Every class is claiming to be a glass cannon now but in reality its just everyones damage is nuts and little effort to execute.

Why are you so obviously lying? Every shaman says this when they have 40000999 defensives MORE than arms warrior. Tremor, stoneskin, capacitor, electrical field, astral, SELF HEAL, and 60k dps to force dps off you

Everyone is a glass cannon when 2 melee players are beating you down
Ele is nowhere near a glass cannon in a caster lobby.

You must be kidding right? Astral shift and self healing. that’s all we have.
Comparing tremor to tools that Arms has is laughable at best and ludicrous.
Ignore pain and Impending Victory, all better heals because they are instant.
Parry, Rally, Stormbolt, Intimidating Shout, Spell Reflection, War Banner… All better than tremor, AS, static field, Stoneskin (no one spec’s into this).
Seriously ask yourself, why is blue always trained even when you as a warrior are on a team with blue? It’s not because warrior is squishier. This includes ENH.

Yes ELE is a glass canon. Where is our defensive that forces a swap like Disperse, ohh we don’t have one. Ohh yeah you can use Disperse in a stun, Astral Shift can’t. Plus you have instant shields, swap, vampiric embrace, plus cast heals. So yes ELE is way squishier than Spriest.

Ignore that warrior all he does is complain. He goes to class forums and complains too.

Ele still is. Ele just has a toolkit to interrupt casters with shear and grounding. The only reason you don’t train an ele in an all caster lobby is because the other caster DPS can’t be left free casting, like a mage or warlock.

It is imperative we remember at all times that the myth of c%ster weakness in pvp is a carefully designed and orchestrated psyop by Big Warlock to shoehorn c%sters into a position of extreme relative strength in the first season of an expansion (which hasn’t happened at the beginning of an expansion since Wrath) thereby making the power gap between C%sters and Melee even more staggering in C%ster favor at the end of the expansion.
