It is actually kinda funny at this point that shamans have not been nerfed and have been literal raid bosses for weeks, despite a huge plea to nerf them. “We are listening to your feedback” and we actually could not care less about what the community thinks. Honestly, LOL well played devs.

two options roll horde and make the factions so lopsided they have to address the issue or just quit playing which will also force them to have to do something, they said they wont touch any class now til phase 3 so take your pick
When you say community… do you mean a small faction of forum whiners who lack serious pvp skills?

This goes way beyond skill in any fashion. Try playing a Paladin against a shaman at 40. Even in BiS gear they hit harder with one handers and have 10% increased spell/melee hit. A good shaman will just spam purge and auto you down. You can’t even stun them since they have innate resistance from racial.
Literally one of the best utility/tankiness/damage in PvP currently and you can reference wowhead weekly dps rankings to see how they perform in PvE.
Paladin requires you to have a insanely optimized gearset and group to even do average dps whereas a Shaman just brings the entire group by themselves.
Oh and they saw Paladins got sheathe of light in P2 and decided that was a good rune, so blizz copied and improved it and gave them that as well.

NERF SHAMANS at least 75% for PVP or healing is done for. I’ll respec shadow for PVP. You won’t have any healers in PVP and ppl will just chase hk’s for honor. I’ll get my rank but won’t heal again in any pvp.

I believe they said class balance was coming, but it made no sense to do it so close to the launch of a new phase, so I expect it to happen with the launch of the new phase or soon after.
Remember they are a small team. would you rather they focus on the next content or going back and balancing things from a leveling patch?

no more DW with WoE…
lava lash changed making FT probably stronger for OH for DPS sham
no more 20% AP from beta
I really do think these are solid nerfs and we should at least give it a chance.

I want some balance to damage in PVP. Wouldn’t be that hard. Put a HARD cap on damage from all classes. Problem solved.
I think shaman have been pretty busted in this phase and deserve a beating with the nerf bat. Shaman also haven’t really done themselves any favors trying to claim otherwise when the truth is plain to see.
BUT, they are getting some nerfs in P3. I think we should just chill out and see how it goes. Shaman should be strong, they just shouldn’t be P2 strong.

yea 100% agree… its not the nerf I suggested but they did get nerfed and everyone still advocating for nerfs without having ANY IDEA how strong they are with these changes needs to chill.

It’s a good start and I’m not advocating nerfing shamans into the dirt, but clearly they are game breaking as it stands. The new helm rune that provides AP and spellpower needs to be adressed as well before P3.

Nerf and Shamans are a paradox waiting to happen. Return them to WOTLK standards (do I even remember them there?)
we literally have no clue where ANY sham spec is gonna land on the DPS charts atm… nerfs were announced give it 1 day of play b4 saying they need more nerfs???
I agree, nerf hunters.
Mental Dexterity
Dealing damage with your melee weapons increases your Attack Power by 100% of your Intellect, and your spell damage and healing by 30% of your total Attack Power for 1 min.
Sheathe of Light
Dealing damage with your melee weapon increases your spell power by an amount equal to 30% of your attack power for 1 min. In addition, your critical healing spells heal the target for 60% of the healed amount over 12 sec.
One of these things is not like the other, one of them is far superior.
(The amount of times you crit on spells as a non Holy paladin is basically Null)
