Shamans are broken in PVP

[Nyaria-argent-dawn (Nyariá)]

Which mean’s it’s even less likely he’s being “One shot” by chain lightning.

First rank of Chain Lightning is gained at level 32. It does 191-218 base nature damage.

If you at level 36 are getting one shot by this (From a level 33 a shaman that just got this), then you are either:

A) Running around with pure damage gear with rez sickness trying to fight people
B) Lying

Let me fix your post for you -

Pvp is broken.

There, done.

Sure, priests and shamans are the MOST broken but pvp overall is miserable in SoD. It is the worst iteration of pvp this game has ever produced. It is a zero-skill, strike-first-to-win, one-shot, no-counterplay meta.

[Mutalisk-crusader-strike]

I’m currently envious of Horde druids because they play against paladins, not shamans.

Believe me, it’s much easier.

[Hran-whitemane]

It isn’t a game worth playing.

[Sthis-shandris]

I stopped playing PvP in P1 because of how gross it was. I played 2 games in P2 just to find out that it’s worse. I probably won’t PvP again for the remainder of SoD.

[Golkra-crusader-strike]

Bubble isn’t purged by most classes. That’s something to consider.

[Eurynomos-shattered-hand]

It is remarkably bad. I cannot understand how the devs let this happen

[Sizzlepants-shadowstrike-au]

We do LFG on my server to fight a shaman. Must be bear tank because warriors get one-shotted. If 2 shamans show up its a wipe. honestly, it’s the blessing of freed and all of their snares working and none of yours do and probably having 3 times your hp. It’s hard to keep them off u. I know max range but if you are casting a single scorch and they are running at you, Ur usually in frost shock range by the time it hits and none of your snares is going to work on them. Blink buys u a couple more seconds you can escape artist and keep running sometimes I do.

[Kaorinite-detheroc]

You’re right. Nerf shadow priests!

[Bowzo-lone-wolf]

Beyond broken, shaman tanks out dps 60% of specs

[Xtrasecksi-benediction]

@Xtrasecksi-benediction

lets suppose that they nerf way of earth and dual rockbiter in some way . what do shaman actually have in terms of defenses or getting to a target?

we are running at the same speed as everyone else and frost shock is 20 yard range.

if we can get to you to cast frost shock maybe we can slowly close the gap as you run away and frost shock drs itself.

our grounding totem get 1 spell if you dont instantly wand it (it has 5 hp) .

decoy totem is nice but doesnt stop stuns (blackout stun / any stun from pallies/ any stun from rogues/ arcane damage stun from boomkin).

without it we die as easy if not easier than everyone else cause we have to face tank everything .

yet there are 3 classes currently that can tank the 1-2 shots from other classes. pallies (bubble) priest (dispersion) and shaman (way of earth) .

what about those other two?

does nobody care about them either?

i will agree way of earth with dual wield rockbiter is out of wack , but what are you giving them in return ? 30% shamanistic rage that can be used while stunned?

what exactly are you taking away from and giving shaman?

figured i would repost this here.

[Galakai-wild-growth]

Skill issue.

[Bowzo-lone-wolf]

Yeah looking at you crying about hunters in p1 and p2 I could say the same. Hunters were nerfed time for shamans.

[Galakai-wild-growth]

You are playing one of the classes that can dump on shaman right now. Skill issue. Bad. Learn to play.

[Bowzo-lone-wolf]

They are OP - in every part of the game. Nerf time, just like you cried about hunters.

[Galakai-wild-growth]

@Bowzo-lone-wolf

They are OP

Only in PvP.

[Bowzo-lone-wolf]

Shaman Tank out dps 60% of specs, stop being a clown

[Galakai-wild-growth]

Shaman Tank is the exact same spec as our melee dps spec.

[Bowzo-lone-wolf]

Nerf - require shield

[Disrespecter-lone-wolf]

And they can actually … STUN you so you can’t play the game.
