Shaman buffed, back to perma lose BGs

Well it was fun(barely) while it last. Shaman is now back on top of the OP pyramid and ABs are extremely hard to win. Cant wait for fresh so i can ditch this trash game that time and time again the devs have proven themselves to be incapable of making it playable

They buffed shamans, yet mage is still the worst class in PvP and has been for literally the entirety of SoD

Yup time for rest where Mage is one of the best in the game.

I do love SoD and how they made crap specs viable but they went over the top with some.

Same. I unsubbed today. Have two weeks to decide if fresh is worth playing.

I’ve been confused at what spec people seem to have this problem with on Shaman. The only buff I really saw was the increase to SP from the burn rune, which is basically just for Ele… and if you’re having problems with Ele shamans then you were a lost cause to begin with…

Not about the spec, they just hate the class.

Sham is soo mid in Bgs its a joke. Hardcast, no cc’s and riptide just got nuked again.

In what world is 50% reduction to riptide and earth shield + 50% buff to burn a net buff?

Fixed…You might figure it out at some point though

Every class is Mid, except for Mages and Boomies

Excellent rebuttal, great information. You have been identified: IQ = Single digits. Hunter detected.

You’re being overly dramatic. Even if shaman were buffed it’s not like Paladin is the bottom-barrel class it used to be in previous phases.
Shaman elem are still good especially in group fight but the PvP issues atm really lie with Boomies first and foremost. Curious to see how the hunter buff plays out in PvP, it will certainly make them more oppressive and even God-like against clothies.

Hunters were already God like against any clothy, even Lock tanks evaporate

The LNL change is def a buff in pvp, but I wouldnt call it anymore oppresive than it currently is.

again i must repeat , almost all of the changes written in that post have been in the game for at least a month if not more.

they are old changes.

they are just noting them finally.

hmm maybe i might be wrong. not sure now.

You’re back to losing every AB because all the serious horde players are back to PvPing you’re no longer playing against a bunch of alts or people who don’t care about playing objectives.

And you’re gonna lose most BGs in Era too, have fun.

actually ive ran into quite a few alliance premades with like 50 moonkin each team it seems.

they are learning.

Most of the “serious horde players” are all BUMs. Everyone crying about boomkins and paladins are just idiots. The biggest issue in sod atm are the tank runes. Just BUM shamans, bear druids, and prot wars spinning a flag vs 6 people for 30 seconds because they have 15k+ hp and take no damage.

The 30% HP buff in BGs is so awful with how much stam people can get now. Most people don’t even have all the blood caked pieces yet, nor the rank 14 weps. Gonna be the slowest thing ever when everyone has 20k HP and we crit for 2k… boaring.

Define serious? Premades? Yes, should win 100% of the time
Shaman Tank teams, yes, should win most of the time

The amount of tears on yours must be even worse while you sit there crying all day.
