Shamans Got Nerfed - Why?

Sin got buffed, a spec that’s one of the worst DPS in the game right now.

Resto Shaman got nerfed because it’s broken. Sorry.

So we’ve gone from Blizzard never does adjustments to, " Don’t nerf me bro!"

These adjustments are right on schedule too.

You’d think that’d of stopped since Ion plays Shaman.

But at this point its the order of the Universe.

It’s a challenge for himself.

Or its the fact he plays the beta while shamans are strong, and then nerfs them when he’s done raiding.

Tradition!

It’s my fault: literally just tried resto today for the first time and found I loved it.

Because their throughput is significantly higher than other healers. If you didn’t see this coming you aren’t paying attention.

In fairness, the rogue buffs were assassination and not sub.

So has the nerf happened already or will this be on the 15th?

Shamans needed a healing nerf. They are out performing everyone. In PvP it almost feels like cheating playing Resto shaman.

That said I still expect they will be top tier healers. All the healers are good right now I just think blizz wanted tone the S tier healers down.

Don’t worry Shadow priest and Disc priests are next. No way they’re not getting nerfed

Because shamans are the best healers in every situation.

Clicked to find the defensive Priests.
Was not dissapointed.

Ugh. Healing feels to unrewarding in SL that they should just be bringing up the power of healers, not toning down the ones that feel like they can stay on top of all the AoE damage and spread debuffs.

They do this routinely so people will waste time.

People cry NERF NERF NERF when they arent doing as well.

No one seems to want to take into account that we are doing well because people aren’t geared. If you arent geared, you’re getting hit harder. Being hit harder is missing more health. Voila, shaman mastery into play. The lower the health, the more we heal. Shaman are strong starters but once people get geared, they fade.

The nerf is quite unwarranted IMO and will deplete shaman as viable healers. 14% nerf on healing rain? Not even usable at this point.

It’s true, all Rogues got buffed. Every single spec got buffed.

Yea but the 1 shot envenoms in PvP. Like My warlocks specs are designed not to be the best at everything. I expect it to be the same with other classes.

Affliction pve is alright but I can’t do crap in PvP. Too much ramp up time.

Unbelievable that rogues got buffed, but resto druids didn’t also get buffed for dungeons. Our base mastery should be 30%. Can we please get some blue attention regarding this?
