Well no, it isn’t.
Once we are 60, shamans still have to redrop totems
Paladins can still walk around with tremor
Druids will still walk around with windfury
And Druid windfury is better than totem windfury because it’s a buff not a weapon imbue
So no nothing will change at 60 if it stays this way

              Hey, I can respect that. But this is the reason I’m bringing attention to it, I don’t want to get to level cap and have Gressil be the BiS wep in game and I need to have edgemasters to even compete on damage meters, while Humans have options for days with swords/maces and whatever gloves they want to wear.
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              How about, who cares?
Orcs have Blood Fury and Humans don’t have an equivalent. If the weapons are perfectly equal in every phase, Orcs are just flat out better.
Then the Humans will complain about that… where does it end?
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              I think the main issue is that totems are strictly worse than having it on the paladin/druid. So even though shamans will become stronger on their own, their utility is found in a better way on other classes. Which hurts as a shaman main, because we’re a utility class. It destroys our class identity

              Maybe they can add a rune that makes it so Shamans can walk around with their totems. I think we could all be happy with that.
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              ? errr… what? haha, Bloodfury might be one of the most underwhelming, garbage racials ever to exist =P
Let me just go ahead and Mortal strike myself for an extra 200 attack power for 10 seconds.

This got changed and isn’t true anymore. But it is strictly better once geared because the extra AP it grants on the proc is 20% of AP, rather than the flat amount WF gives
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              will you complain next phase about how ww axe is better than ww sword?
will you complain how horde racials are way better than alliance racials?
do you want alliance have 25% stun resistance? or an OP AP buff? or a haste buff? or a secondary trinket?
will you complaini that the only leather helm pre raid is a horde only drop?
will you complain that in ashenvale horde has 2 flight points making it way easier to reallocate between points?

              It could give 1 attack power and it’s still better than what Humans get.
Weapons don’t need to be perfectly equal because racials aren’t perfectly equal.
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              No shamans need lust, weapon skill items need to be added that don’t let you go past +8(including your racial skill) and in the future we need axes and swords equal. Seems simple to me.

              Two handed weapons are not a part of this conversation lad. The weapon skill advantage does nothing there because these are considered PVP weapons, 1 handed weps are the go-to for pve, and that’s what matters.
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              Ww axe isn’t pre-bis next phase, bonebiter is and horde can’t even get it.

              I like it, we gotta let them know.
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              Alliance can’t get weapon skill for Bonebiter… if they care about raid DPS, they will use Whirlwind Sword.
Bonebiter for PvP maybe.
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              are you missing the part where humans do anywhere from 15-20% more damage end game because of weapon skill?

              This isn’t true. It still reduces hit cap to 6% at +5 and reduces glancing penalty
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              ya but no one uses 2h in a pve scenario seriously, that’s a pvp item.
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              For now, 2h fury is simming pretty well and will be close in the future. A 40 man will run a few for better weapon distribution.
