Yeah…I guess the devs felt ele shaman was too powerful defensively and pet wall had to, not even be nerfed, just be straight up removed from the game.
WELP, time to play wrath.

What is pet wall
The spell ability is called Harden Skin iirc. Its a 40% damage reduction cooldown but can only be used when Primal earth elemental is out.
Story of shamans life. Tbh i thought they removed it with the very first iteration of DF talent tree.
Considering how much more Ele (and Shaman as a whole) are getting in the way of defensives, I don’t see this as unreasonable. You gain a stronger astral shift, you gain passive DR in the class tree, you gain passive DR in the spec tree when you have an Ele out, you gain health when ankh is on CD, you gain the option of Earth Shield on yourself at no dps cost, you gain Nature’s Guardian without losing its current competitors, you gain Stoneskin… the list goes on.
From a power perspective, it makes perfect sense.
excuse me, we arent getting any more defensives.
More defensive, not more defensives. No it’s not the same, but yes it’s relevant.
Maybe the trade isn’t worth it for PvP, but it certainly is for PvE. Obviously depends what you play as to how you feel about it.
Exactly…
Shaman actually did not get enough additional defensives / improvements to current defensives to justify removing the pet wall. From your samples:
Shamans did receive additional mobility and CC, but other classes did as well, so that is not a justification either.
As a result, pet wall removal is not warranted. However, that could be a good reason to keep it removed and give Shamans other defensive CD instead, which is not tied to a 5 min CD pet and is accessible for all 3 specs.
Jesus the really did…ele has one defensive button now, because another on a 5 min cd is too much …glad i removed my sub. Really done with wow and these absolutely retarded devs. This game has been out for so so long and they still cant figure it out. Its dying because they are incompetent. The game has only even lasted so long due to laziness of people not because of their ability to make a good game. good luck with this circus everyone
Yeah they did. But ele is in a really good, real fun spot pvp.
While you have one defensive, you have ghost wolf, a stun, two roots, two snares and some og the highest frontloaded dps in the game.
You can kite just about every class
I get jealous about how much nicer ghost wolf affinity is for ele than for enhance
