At level 40 Earth Shield still has the same base healing # as it did at 25. It doesnt scale correctly, like other runes do. Im assuming this is a bug. Blizzard, please look into this when you have a chance. Thank you.

It’s almost like they don’t care about shams :<

I legitimately think they are unaware of this bug because 99.9% of the shaman playerbase are playing dps or tank specs and Rsham hasnt been tested yet. But its pretty clear that ES rune is bugged and failing to scale. Its essentially rank 1 earth shield forever until they fix this bug.

Blizzard just patched Starsurge to nerf druids. Lets hope they give that same attention to broken, bugged runes like Earth Shield.

Even if they fix earth shield, it still shares a slot with sham rage. What would you rather have, a 1 min cd evocate that you dont have to channel, or…earth shield?
It needs more than just scaling buffs to be worthwhile. It needs charges put to 6.

Dual Wield Specialization is also bugged and has been since p1: it not always gives the hit rating. Tested - sometimes when swapping weapons it bugs out.
Maelstrom Weapon also seems to have a very low proc chance. I’m not sure if this intended, as I do not know the % but I have had fights without a single proc.
Shaman runes have a lot of problems.

Earth shield = trash
Ancestral awakening = trash
Ancetral Guidance = trash
healing rain =/= chain heal overload
Mana regen from SR, power surge, and water shield make half the resto tree worthless.
SOD Restoration was obviously designed by someone that has never touched Shaman in their dev life. Priest in STV get dispersion, pain suppression, as well as ae CC while resto shaman get earth shield that heals for 100 at level 1 and 100 at level 40. Healing in elemental or enhance is only 10% less effective.
Restoration is dead, runes suck, spec sucks, playstyle sucks (its literally classic with infinite mana) when so much more was available to bring in. Please redesign all shaman runes adding: riptide, spirit link, rain dance healing rain, wellspring, and even earth shield that has 9 charges and scales with level. Then we might have even footing on what you’ve turned priests into.

The reason i value Earth Shield over Sham Rage for Ele is because the only decent spell we have right now is Lava Burst and its super hard to get off in pvp due to its short range (and the extremely short flame shock range) and long cast time. Earth Shield gives you pushback resistance which helps a lot. But… you lose your 1min mini shield wall and mana regen tool. So i get it. And thats ele.
But I used to like LvB as resto as well… simply to bait kicks… but that aint happening with Water Shield on the same slot. Especially since, as you pointed out, we can’t skip Sham rage.
Resto Shaman needs a lot of work. It feels like the only spec that was left behind in Era condition.

It’s almost like they don’t internally test their own product before release

Blizz its almost 1 week since launch. Can you please provide some kind of update for this bugged rune? Are you working on it? Can we expect it to get fixed this phase?

Probably has a higher chance of being fixed if reported from within game rather than reported on the forums.

So stop playing that’s your only option. End of story
