ALLIANCE PLAYERS ARE STILL COMPLAINING ABOUT SHAMENS . Shamens aren’t even playable now. We are literally glass cannons now. I come to the forums and players are still complaining. No defense now that they took away all shamen healing. Every update another nerf. SoD team is ruining this game.

sounds like youre a bad shaman all they did was nerf your healing. you still have full use of your utility totems, purge, and damage. be more liberal with your use of consumables and maybe swap to a defensive flask instead of spell power flask while BGing and you should be fine.

Okay if you are now a glass cannon, that implies you were overpowered beforehand? Am I wrong in saying this, or did you mean something else? If your nerfs were reverted you would go back to insane damage and defenses. And if that is the case doesn’t that mean you should have gotten a nerf?

damage wasn’t nerfed THIS TIME. OUR ONLY DEFENSE WAS NERFED. Do you realize Shamens received a nerf EVERY UPDATE??? NOW they are not even playable they are so unbalanced. I thought the goal here was to be able to enjoy the class. Roll one yourself and see if you enjoy it.

sorry,but if you think shaman are glass cannon,how would you describe mage：）
shaman enough tanky,you should try to do some damage not suppose to be unkillable to be disgusted by others.as I know shaman did do more pvp damage than other tanks with purge
I know your damage wasn’t nerfed, re-read my reply. If you are currently a glass cannon (meaning you hit like a truck, but die easier). This must mean that before the nerfs, you were indeed overpowered because you had amazing offense and defense. I haven’t rolled a shaman because I can’t make a horde toon (I don’t think?)

so one class gets 10 coins, another class gets 1 coin. every week the class with 10 coins is taken away 1 coin til he has 2 coins left. “wHY DO YOU TAKE 8 COINS FROM ME I LOST MORE COINS THAN ANYONE ELSE HERE”. still has twice as many coins as the other and complains the hardest because at some point he had 10. this is you and all shamans right now, it´s insane how pathetic it is to complain about a more balanced game where shamans is STILL one of the best in pvp. dont believe me? then watch ziqo the last 2 days streaming how awesome Ele shamans still are

If your dead because you have no more defenses then you dmg is nerfed!
Enc has eaten alot of nerfs because of Ele and Tank spec pvpers. While Enc was never op to start with, cept maybe the stv weeks with dbl rockbiter and WOE. In that one phase and the lower levels. That whole style could be worthless at 60 for all we know. Was a long term nerf cause of a level range ability that was strong then.
Presumably plays a shaman. Has the word “shaman” in front of him 24/7. Doesn’t know how to spell shamen.
Sounds like a skill issue to me.

Eh. If you want to take that tortured analogy:
- In Vanilla, Shaman had less coins than most others.
- In early SoD, Shaman was given slightly more coins.
- In Phase 3, Blizzard accidentally gave Shamans way too many coins.
- In Phase 4, those coins were slowly taken away until it was (mostly) fair again.
- Fast forward today, people keep pointing to “remember when Shaman had way too many coins?!” as justification to take the few coins Shaman have left, all the while completely ignoring classes that now have as many if not more coins

It’s all good man. I’m just really looking forward to hitting my next honor benchmark so I can feel good about logging out from this game.
Just want to express that I don’t think the development team of SoD is doing a very great job with class balance and it’s a question of range.
I can’t realistically enter within 45 yards of some of these classes without risking being dead in 3 or less seconds. As a melee class, that’s troubling.
The class is still overpowered and needs to have even more nerfs in the coming future. This nerf did nothing. You had 4 phases of being so op you don’t even know what normal is anymore lol. “Shamen” needs at least 25% more of a dmg nerf and around 10ish % more healing nerf then it will be in a normal state…Hope you have a great day Starnasty 
Yeah dude. Sounds like a bad breakup.

The core of the issue.
But hey man when you’re done hitting the bag, this game’s kinda like Mario cart. If you want to complete the course you need to turn around; because that’s the only way you’re ever going to find true happiness.

It’s blizzard trying to create it’s own karma.
It’s why competitive gaming will never be respectable.
Give alliance shamans then…If that was to happen horde will still complain and try to gaslight everyone about how unfair it will be.

One: it provides historical context to why Blizzard leaned too hard into the Shaman tweaks in earlier phases. Resto was a good tree but Elemental and Enhancement were gimmick specs. Blizzard has tried to rectify that in SoD.
Two: it certainly appears relevant to those Anti-Shaman posters who are seemingly still upset over the Double Rockbiter Maelstrom Shamans of yesterday, that they unironically think Riptide restoring 75 health every 3 seconds is strong and Shamans should be grateful for it (in a meta where Priest and Boomy DoTs can tick for 1k every three seconds).

Neon god.
Real karma sucks, huh? I’m sorry you lack the strength to tank it.
I’m made of stuff that’s twice as strong just for you, it would seem; but I’m literally out of CDs at this point.
That makes no sense at all when we have had shadow priests OP, rogues OP, boomkins OP, Pala’s OP, Shamans OP, Locks OP, Hunters OP at some point During SoD. Like Shaman are the outlier here compared to Era? Some of those classes were really good in Era and some werent. They just F’ed up, dont need to go too deep with it. And who cares, they are trying to balance out the game. Let’s talk about now and set aside what has been. Ele is in a good spot, alot better than what the crybabies here on the forum is claiming, and we have a streamer that proves it every day.
Now all we need is a little Boomkin, Pala and Hunter nerf and we’re getting closer to a balanced game
