So compared to the other healers, Rsham is looking less and less attractive to bring along. Lets go over what I’m talking about.
Priets bring a magic debuff cleanse, as well as paladins but by the looks of it Rsham will not be getting one.
Druids are now getting a res according to the data mined information as well as keeping their battle rez so they are giving them something that they really needed yet rshams aren’t getting a much needed cleanse.
Feral druids are now bringing WF to raids which further diminishes the need to bring an Rsham, and Rdruid is getting flourish making their raid healing even better. Yes we are getting Chain heal but unless we take overload which we won’t because we need that slot for healing rain, it won’t be as nifty as flourish, or the myriad of group healing priests bring now.
Priests bring amazing heals that are good for group as well as single target along with everything but a battle rez. Overload still won’t work with Lesser Healing Wave so any hope of a quick big mana efficient heal is out of reach.
Sure we will still be taken to groups, but we won’t be as attractive as the other options, and Rsham in PvP will be to put it bluntly dookie. Give us a magic debuff cleanse, and riptide so we can be competitive again.

Resto shamans have a much easier time when you put water shield on your gloves and overload on your chest. You will see greener days brother.

Sham* is looking kind of grim in p2.
No they don’t. Proof or it didn’t happen.
You imply any shaman spec is looking good going into phase 2
Not everything datamined those classes will be getting, but the stuff on shamans table is a bit lacking. That being said they heard our pleas for a 2h rune so maybe if enough noise is made we can get Riptide too.

Hmm thought they did, but you are right, going to correct that, good catch.
Spirit of the Alpha is going to be a pretty insane buff that will allow DPS to push even harder. We also get chain heal in P2 which means we can stick with overload in all situations. Add to this our insane mana regeneration via shamanistic rage and you have a pretty amazing healer.
The belt runes datamined aren’t all that impressive but we should be fine regardless.
Riptide would be so good to have. Also they need to make overload work with Lesser Healing Wave.

I don’t like the rune having less decision making, if it effects everything it seems boring. If they want to enhance lesser healing wave I would rather see something different like added pushback resistance, super long range, cast while moving, silence immunity for that 1 spell.
Don’t worry enhance is looking bad too
