Ok so why are Shaman better DPS than rogues and dps warriors?

If you make 600k p/a and you choose to spend your time complaining about balance on a 20 year old game, that’s your prerogative.

Maybe you can donate a full-time salary to Blizzard so they can employ extra staff to fix Classic WoW to your standards.

Remember when people used to play classes because they were fun, or because they liked the style or the lore, instead of whose dps meter was bigger?

I mean some of us are just successful, idk what to tell you. I’m glad your class is having a moment so you can feel something

LOL now we have shifted from the insults, to the my mom can beat up your mom type argument, all because other classes are now doing viable raid damage, so Rogues and Warriors aren’t guaranteed all the raid spots.

Your class not having a moment for once in 20 years is sure making you feel something.

I’m playing for fun. The problem is: It is not fun to try to get into raids when everyone views your class as redundant. It should be pretty easy for Blizzard to fix this. And yet, here we are, weeks into the phase, and they’re buffing shaman instead. No hate to shaman, but I want to have fun too.

@soban has never played a rogue

Get a guild and play with friends, problem solved. Rogue damage is enough for Gnomer, same with Warrior. This is just incessant whining over pug culture.

Then find a better raid, or better guild, surround yourself with better people. Also now you know what it felt like to be literally EVERY OTHER CLASS in the game before.

The hybrid tax only matters for ret paladins, doesn’t apply for shamans / druids / s priest

Guilds don’t want rogues either. Have you been paying attention to LFG channels?

(I’m in a guild, I have to play warlock or priest instead to fill needs)

There are plenty of abilities that work differently based on target level (you can’t use Mind Control on targets above a certain level) and the Paladin Glyph of Reckoning in Wrath makes Hand of Reckoning deal damage to untauntable targets, so I’d say there’s a reasonable basis for both.

It’s blizzard’s job to balance the game, though. Why is it wrong to complain when they’re not doing it?

Make a guild, make friends.

No, you don’t. Find better friends.

better tanks, better healers than paladins, pvp 1 shot gods, completely removes 99% of thermaplug mechanics…

Now this is trolling

Your view on balance is subjective. That’s what the problem is.

We’re missing some key context here. The only reason I would replace a rogue for a warlock or priest for a raid is if we had 3-4 melee ALREADY and no ranged. Because rogues are AMAZING for the last two fights in gnomer. Easily the best interrupt.

lol sure /10-char

Huh? Rogues are redundant on both if you have other interrupts. A shaman tank can actually interrupt squirrel 100% of the time and rogue is not guaranteed due to timing.

Also mek really favors ranged dps so you can help with bombs without screwing your uptime

It’s okay you won’t need that energy for damage.
