They’re a free kill? Boomies are in an awful state right now…
people forgot the wotlk concept of “dont let the blood dk hit you” because somehow player skill in pvp plummeted since 2008
i mean honestly in bgs and wpvp and stv i get nuked from afar like all the time.
i have grounding hotkeyed to a very quick one and still get just blasted from range alot.
its silly.
rogues do more damage then enhance does and i cant even open on a rogue until im already mostly dead
at least enhance i can start getting some damage out before they get to me because their sprint has a cast time
heh youre lucky .
i dont even get out of the stunlock before im dead.

if shamans are “glass cannons” now then that makes everyone else vapor cannons as they still tear you to shreds 3 times faster then anyone can
feel like i’m playing a diff game cause heals are almost as good as they were in p1.
lmao, not even close. still one of the best ranged classes because they’re extremely passively tanky(and can run two of the best defensives in the game), have wild growth and both burst and sustained damage.
they’re just starting to require skill now and people can’t handle that.
Blizzard, actually do the opposite. Casters are getting one shotted like no other. I do not know what Talizorah is even talking about. Maybe he is referring to druid, but mage and lock in a horrible spot.
lock seems solid especially if SL or meta. I think mage is fine in group with good positioning. If they think they can play like they did in P1 they’re gonna have a bad time and I’m all about that.
Im still conflicted which toon i want to “main.” Lock, Shaman and Spriest are the 3 contenders. As someone who plays those 3 classes can you give me any input that may help me sway my decision? Other than “play what you like” as i like all 3 lol.
For PvP mostly.
Thanks in advance!
umm honestly i like enh shaman the most cause of being melee.
lock is probably the most “complex” and “difficult” to play but a well played lock with good positioning and whatnot is a terror to behold.
priest is great as shadow but also requires positioning and skill to pull off and be super devastating.
it really depends on what playstyle you want .
with shaman you have melee/ranged/tank/heals all with different playstyles and strong parts and weaknesses. (admitedly those weaknesses arent as pronounced atm but nerfs might come).
with priest you have one of the best healing kits in the game and the ability to go shadow in pvp and do some getting your hands dirty yourself.
lock is varied and has quite a bit of nuance and can dps/tank (one of the best tanks in the game bar none).
i honestly dont know.
the most successful would be either shaman or priest and then the lock i would guess.
only so many hours in the day atm so i dont know the full answer honestly.
cant really go wrong with any of them.
just think of what playstyle you really want (in terms of melee/ranged most improtantly).

You people acting like that is new and unique to SoD for Shams and has never happened before…
What burst??? Are you even level 50??? They’re a bottom 2 DPS with a long cast starfire that requires setup to even do any damage at all with and it crits for less than non-crits spells from other casters…
Spriest kills boomkin before you can even get starsurge + Starfire off, let alone silence. Mage just CS Starfire. Rogue/Warrior gap close and interrupt. Warlock just heals through your wet noodle damage and outlasts you easily because Wild Growth ooms you insanely fast, and that’s if they’re meta. Non-meta just laughs as you get dot to death and spend the entire fight trying to decurse tongues before you oom. You really aren’t tanky at all, especially against casters.
The only thing you can kill pretty much is melee hunter if they’re stupid enough to let you kite them.
I was running through Tanaris, watching something on the other monitor.
Next thing I know I see an Earthbind totem appear like 15 yards in front of me. I go huh, that’s weird, why did that just appear.
Next thing I know I’m lavabursted and dead.

this is a thread about PvP guy
Spriest kills boomkin before you can even get starsurge + Starfire off
how can that be possible with the list you just posted lol. so weird how the bottom 3 pve dps are also 3 of the strongest in pvp.
Thanks for the detailed response! That was very helpful :). Im deff leaning towards Shaman.
