Shaman’s DPS specs are being held back by the level cap. The problem with trying to tune them is that there isn’t much to tune. So many of the talents and abilities needed to make us work won’t be available until level 40. If you buff the few we have now you would just have to massively nerf them at the start of P2 or we would be completely broken powerhouses.
Elemental alone is going to be insane in P2, and we know that without even knowing what runes we will get. Chain lightning, elemental fury and lightning mastery alone are enough to make us scary, and given that our sustain looks to be fixed by SR? The only thing I’m worried about is how severe the nerfs are that try to bring us back down inline with everyone else.
