Hey yall, figured this could be a cool place for shockadin players to congregate and discuss ideas on how to actually make the spec viable… either through a specialized item, rune tweaks, or set bonus changes and so on.
Personally I think that it would be cool to have a shockadin specific shield in SE for paladins that either reduces the cd of Holy Shock or increases its damage specifically… Or perhaps a shockadin sword/mace that juices Sunlight significantly.
Or maybe just a new rune! Open up neck runes and slap a shockadin friendly rune in there… perhaps shock crits put a dot, or a debuff on a target that stacks… or maybe something along the lines of a rune that turns Holy Wrath into a single target spell… and is juiced by the shock/libram of wrath combo… causing shockadin to start stacking up their shocks for one big holy blast against their enemies?
Or just give them something for fun and utility to keep their distance from a foe they are blasting, such as a speed boost after every shock crit for a few seconds… allowing Shockadin to finally give shammies a taste of their own medicine… frost shock spam vs holy shock spam and the speed bonus cancels out the slow… that would be fun.
What do yall think? What ideas do you have that could make shockadin a beloved spec that is viable in pve and pvp without being broken af?
You already have Leogan which lowers Exorcism by 0.5 global and is extremely fast with Crusader (as in, under 1 sec).
Heck, the 3% Holy hit on that Blade with Rune is already over 50% of your hit rating required before any other pieces.
In raids Shocks have 50%+ crit, so Shock is naturally 4.5cd at it’s worst with Exorcism being < 3cd due to the rapid autos/resets.
Shock already has “stuff” for it. You just need to obtain it.
Not trying to be rude or anything or maybe I am misinformed but from what I’ve seen, if anything, Shock isn’t lacking anything except being able to use in PVP, especially after they threw in a Tier that gives 9% Hit, which is more than Holy Cap needed if you count that Sword + Ring Rune).
The fact that paladins were the only class to get a brand new dps set dropped out of left field (when they have 1 dps talent tree vs other classes that have multiple yet only have 1 set) and now people are on here asking for even more is just… wow…
I’d rather any development resources go to classes like mage, warlock, warrior, etc who have multiple dps talent trees and only 1 set.

I agree with it. Shockadin did have the ZG set but the whole “Hmm… let’s give them a full tier set randomly lol” … shocked me. (Sorry not sorry)

I was the one who instigated a lot of the stuff.
Why do you think it is not viable right now?
I find Shockadin extremely viable.
hehe 1hnd shockadin is tops on the current sims in bis.

I got a suggestion. Rewind time and delete it.

It wasn’t random. shockadins were promised a set in p4 and this is how long it took to get one. If that’s your definition of special treatment get your head checked
I would highly recommend checking out notorious ogb on YouTube for sod shockadin builds and gearing recommendations.
Rather aggressive, but ok. You seem like someone fun to have a conversation with… Pretty much all your replies I’ve seen are just straight aggressive/insults. Most likely including however you reply to this.
Maybe you should not go around making blatantly ignorant statements and you would not receive this kind of feedback.
And to be fair, most of my mean responses are directed and enhmypants or sentenza who both deserve it
