I don’t want to get my hopes up, but something is coming at least
prot shaman incoming
Maybe shaman will ride elementals and go smish-smash in combat.
If a tank shaman isn’t called “Earth Warder” or “Earth Bender” I’m gonna be really upset
Shaman Patch Notes for The War Within:
Shaman Totems are severely lacking in flavor. So we’ve now made all shaman totems even saltier from your deluge of tears. Oh, and their range is now only 5 yards.
Flametongue was one of the chief concerns for Enhancement Shaman in how it interacted with baseline spells. So we’ve removed spells for Enhancement Shaman to make the flavor more like Thrall.
New Ability: Stare Morosely. Channeled, GCD. When used, the Shaman will stare into the distance and spend the rest of combat thinking about how they used to be able to commune with the elements.
[We have deleted Shaman from the game. We found this was the easiest solution and fixed all issues with all specs of the class.]
eyes suspiciously
I’d be very interested. It wouldn’t address the problems we have though.
I want actually changes, not just tunning
If it’s more than three lines, it is a major patch for a shaman. lol.
When ppl are starving even barely cooked scraps taste like a 5 star meal.
next week? dont expect much
Big Earthus Shammy tank!
Yeah , its called disappointment
Good things never happen when Bliz remembers shaman exists. Nerf in 3…2…
At this rate, it better be a peking bloody duck.
I’ve never seen the community united the way it was behind a collective “OK, seriously Blizz - WTF” on behalf of one single class. Even people who’ve never mained Shaman were like: “… really, nothing… not even a mention? Jeeeeeeesus.”
Do we have a reason to suspect a new spec?
You will get your geriatric pigeon and like it.
Legion was worse for warlocks at the beginning, it was so bad Ion himself had to get involved and talk about the design philosophy of the class and give each spec buffs.
The demo at the time was also unversially reviled and people were asking for a rework but he said that was more of a next expansion endeavor, and it did ended up getting reworked and the reception has been good.
elemental shaman is supposed to be a wielder of the elements, and not an low-effort fire mage with lava burst spam…if it aint changing the spec is dead
