The rune reads as
Dealing damage with your melee weapons increases your Attack Power by 100% of your Intellect, and your spell damage and healing by 30% of your total Attack Power for 1 min.
…….
WHAT???
IS THAT WHAT SHAMANS HAVE BEEN NEEDING???
Like do they not know about the current condition of shamans???
I cannot see how this wont make pvp completely unplayable for any class that isnt a shaman. Hell i wouldnt take ya to a raid if youre not a shaman after that rune.
PLEASE someone explain to me how this is justified i would LOVE to hear your reasoning behind this.
This only confirms the devs do not play this game!…or theyre all shamans.

Theyre solution to not coming up with creative runes is to just add more damage to them. Not sure this is a “good” thing, but if your dps I guess thats all that matters?
Why would I use that… To go in melee range to activate the buff? No thanks.

I dont see any other classes getting damage buffs that strong!!
so like 80atk for an enhance shammy… we wont use it
Maybe you should look at the other shaman changes.
Please explain. It sims as a 20-30% dps inc after nerfs
EXACTLY!!!
We all know the whole point of the shaman class is the youtube montage. I for one look forward to the insane 1 shot videos.

cower before the might of The Earthen Ring! mwahahahahahahahahahaha
I don’t think a lot of people actually read the second part of the rune. That it gives a sizable chunk of spell damage and healing based on total attack power. With rockbiter weapon on both weapons while dual wielding thats gonna get insane.
Good luck to the alliance on pvp servers. Good luck to the people trying to do the blood moon event.
“Ohhh noo Starsurge is sooo OP better nerf it!”
Amazing how quickly that was nerfed into the ground. Yet shaman are being left alone.

To be fair, they haven’t released any balancing changes for the new phase yet right?

this is a super common part of the shamans kit that is needed and necessary
paladins already got there version of the same thing in phase 2 melee hybrids need spell power in order to stay on par with other classes
also they rebalance every phase does it look like hunters and rogues are still 1 nad 2 no so there probably going to change things up and shamans wil probably be mid pack or lower end thats just the nature of metas
