Riptide earth shield nerfs for ele

Yep, add me

The Point of this conversation is that blizzard does not want ele Shaman to be able to heal so they Nerf those runes into the ground and gave them zero replacement for PVP forcing all elemental shamans to play Resto in PVP and never use their lightning spells

Yeah riptide heals me for a whopping 370ish and earth shield a whole 200ish when not spec’d deep resto. Even if I were to spec purification it basically only brings riptide and earth shield back to what it was at AFTER the first “shadow nerf”. Definitely a sorry effort to force ele to not heal with no alternative runes that makes sense in PvP.

did u guys dooled yet?

We have to admit the true, ele shaman is so death with recent changes for pvp.
Alliance cried relentless for a year to get that, no matter if justified or not, or if other classes are the trully op. Alliance favoritism won thats the true.

Nowadays it happens all the time in Games, Sports, Jobs, Competitions, the companies put priority in the biggest fanbase, have fair play is overated, is !$%".

In this case Total alliance players > Horde shaman players. Have the playerbase happy.

But dont be sad shamans you will still having fun in forums, alliance will keep complaining.

Part of me feels like they will cry no matter how bad ele is. We legit do bottom barrel dps no cc no escape because they gave every other class a counter to our escape only class boned by spell pushback it’s crazy out here man. Ele had part of p3 being really strong the rest we were mostly under tuned or balanced now we just flat out gibbed

Oh is that whay theyre doing now? Kek. By so strong, you mean completely busted

It hurt enhance more than it did ele.
In order for me to fight other melee, i need to equip a shield and kite them, which is just playing as an ele, but with enhance talents/runes. Otherwise I need to pray and get insanely lucky with multiple wf procs, which doesn’t really happen. Either way it* usually ends in a loss.
This is actually how it was for enhance in vanilla.

if they gibbed those runes that hard they need to provide other options for pvp because enhance wrist rune is much better than ele wrist rune in pvp. try getting a single stack above 3 rolling thunder in pvp it doesnt happen riptide litterally heals for less than the tooltip says it does so it 100% doesnt scale with healing or spell dmg and does not heal what its said to
