Ele shaman after this patch is by the the worst DPS class, not out of all DPS classes, out of the entire game.
That means Ele Sham is NOW LOWER than tank rogue, tank shaman, tank druid, Arcane mage, etc etc.
Ele Sham is a complete dumpster fire this phase. See you at p4
I don’t think Aggrend understands the game needs to be balanced around PvP, and not every spec should be PvE and PvP viable. I don’t bring a demo warlock to a raid.
What a mess. Oh well.
Just going to complete my quest log and wait it out until next phase.
To be superbonkers ofc.
PvP balance has and should always be an afterthought to PvE. Its only been that way forever.
What about when it isn’t even a afterthought?
Did you forget the /s?
Because PvE balance is always more important.
I feel that Elemental Shaman will be treated like Shadow Priest. They will be strong PvP, while lacking on PvE single target damage.
I feel you dude. My main account sub ran out last week and my 2nd account runs out in 5 days.
Completely botched phase for what otherwise was an excellent game. Incursions + the worst class balance humanly imaginable. It makes classic era look balanced thats how bad it is.
Oh well 
Onto p4!
Welcome to classic wow I guess. Retail might be the game for you, as its better in everyway
Spriests wanted a SIGNIFICANT buff to mind spike or blast. Not this.
They’ll 100% nerf spriest again after the forums spend the next weeks posting thousands of “spriest killed me with 2 dots” complaint posts.
They’ll do less damage than every tank in the game in pve and good groups will no longer bring them to raids anymore.
Impact damage is how much damage the cast does. By default it’s 100% weapon damage.
PvE balance is only way more important to raid logging PvE centrists. From an objective point of view, the only thing that matters is PVP balance, since that’s competitive. As long as raids are able to take down bosses, then inter-class balance doesn’t really matter that much in PvE. It’s nice to have it balanced, but PVP balance should never be sacrificed.
PvP is literally done for the rest of the phase. Shadow priests can already just dot somebody on their mount and the person dies and there’s nothing they can do about it. Now they’re getting a massive buff to that.
It’s hilariously bad.
Tell that to the lowbies getting camped at ashenvale incursions.
Spriest damage doesnt matter lol wut. VE is super worth bringing them along… they didnt need any kind of buff at all.
Right…lol very constructive conversation. Well done.
Because who wants to have to auto attack once every 10 secs as a Caster? They said Buffs are coming for Ele.
+200 hps isn’t worth bringing over a dps class that does 1/2 the damage of a melee dps.
at this point we are just spliting hairs of what buff means. But ok, at least we feel the same. Our class roles want buffs too lol.
I have a guildless SP and i get spammed pings all day asking me if i want to raid. I dont raid on that character. I have no logs. Ppl are DYING for Spriests.
What about Warriors? Warrior tanks are pretty bad compared to Shamans and Warlock tanks right now and could use some love.
