Earth elemental for your own personal tank every 5 minutes is nice.
I get to throw balls of lava.
I like the looks of most the mail armor/shaman sets over most leather sets.
My Hex turns people into a glob of honey.
Bloodlust is nice.
Torghast powers for resto shaman are fun
And lastly, shields

As someone who primarily PvPs, that’s what finally drove me away from my beloved Shaman this expansion.

Sure, we have the flavor and can occasionally throw some spicy meatballs, but largely any power we’ve had has been an accidental gimmick (Vesper totem) and we require way more effort for way less payoff than other classes.

Resto overall feels fun, but Ele and Enh are just targets in PvP.

Was watching dewoverload stream last night… hes THE vesper shaman… and he got crit for 90k from shadowbolt from affliction warlock.

Of course its okay when other specs crit that high but not when vesper does

Kinda. Its better with the nerf to fury but dk/demo just crushes it

hex has to be the most agreeable CC. when i get hexed, i am totally immersed in just being a frog, i am no longer the healer, my role for 7 seconds is to hop.

it’s like the unspoken rule of being hexed, EVERYOME i’ve ever hexed immediately assumes their hop function. it’s beautiful

I’m aware. I was stating that outside of gimmicks, we’re typically below average.

Sure, you can line up some spicy shots, but Shaman is routinely mediocre in many forms of pvp. We require more buildup for less damage. More importantly, we have pretty much no decent defensive.

As any of my other classes, I consider Ele or Enh a fairly easy target.

  1. The only healer with 12s range kick.
  2. Highest dps healer.
  3. The only healer with lust. If the group does not have a lust dps, you will become a must-have.
  4. Good burst Aoe as ele. Fair single dps. Enhance is in a good spot this season.
  5. Dispel curse
  6. With engineer. Sham can even brez.

Im moving forward with Sham, be ause thats what i want to do… but i have concerns.

Enhancement needs a couple little twinks for M+ and MAYBE, a couple QOL changes but other than that, I do not feel in any way, shape or form, underpowered.

It’s a high skill cap class, it will definitely feel bad if you are not that good.

Stop being so positive, you’ll ruin their parade of sadness.

Shaman is good right now - not BROKEN but fun and playable in PVP aspect at least. PVE all that matters is your monitor is on and you can breathe through the nose occasionally.

Viable 3s
Rshaman has RPS DHBOOM RETWAR TSG
Ele has Demo/SP/Warrior + (Most Healer) Comps
Enhance has War/BM/Rogue + (Most Healer - Pali prob best)
