Remove lightning lasso

I think that post is quite clear that I was talking about SHAMAN class but no where in that post did I mention it is “ELE Shaman”. I just said “Shaman is a strong melee class” or “the Shaman player”. I did not mention the skill lightning lasso as well.

When I specially talked about elemental shaman in the other posts, I referred the class as “ELE shaman” or “elemental shaman”.

So I believe it is quite clear that I was not talking about ELE Shaman and I just describe the class “AS IS” in the video ?!

Yeah, but kidney requires you to be attacking the target and standing next to him. Lasso you can hit it and then LOS away. Lasso’s damage scales with the targets vs scaling with the rogues gear as well… Lasso is way worse. Kidney should have 40 sec cd, but still broke is broke.

If it costs 100 maelstrom than it needs to be uninterruptible by kicks. Imagine saving up 100 maelstrom to do it and only ever getting it off when enemy team has 0 ways to stop it ( Very unlikely)

I think the issue is how brain dead the ability is to do absurd damage with a single key press. Can rogues do more inside a kidney? Sure. They are also pressing more then one button. They have to pool energy prior to the kidney. A miss click or hesitation in rotation could be the difference in massive damage or laughable damage. I’ll use a ret paladin too. For a ret to do max damage in a HOJ they want 5 HP and DP proc’d or inquisition up. There isn’t setup to lasso other then don’t get cc or interrupted. Literally the same concept with ANYONE trying to burst on any other class in the game.

Lasso isn’t the only cc in the game you’re coordinating with your partners to cross cc to avoid being interrupted. It isn’t a new and interesting concept.

Damn June 2019 and people are still complaining about lasso holy crap

Lasso really isn’t that bad. Kidney isn’t that bad either. Frustrating, yes. At the end of the day, Lasso is only a serious issue in 1 v 1 scenarios, which you cannot balance the game around. Just my two cents.

Big surprise here

It’s the fact that it’s % based hp. Same with gpie.

I don’t have a problem with them since I play with both a fire mage and ele sham, but I bet it’s not fun to play against.

Honestly, I can handle Lightning Lasso. Greater Pyroblast is the one that still irritates me to this day, and that’s coming from a Resto Shaman who can Grounding + 12s CD Interrupt them. It’s just not a fun ability to play around when all you realistically have to do is get one cast off to get the necessary buffer to one-shot with Combustion.

you can have lasso removed over my dead (prewall the half kidney bomb but rmpala lol) body
