It’s not about winning and losing. Yes shaman is very strong and I’m killing players a lot easier after the dmg nerf. Does it feel good like it did before the nerf? Nope! It feels unfair because I can easily kill 2 hunters/rogues/mages as long as I cast some heals on myself. Fights are long and boring. This is not classic combat.

You should probably respond in the Dev’s actual post about this change then.
fights lasted 3 secs LOL what are you talking about “fights” and most of the time cause of the damage that meta locks could and heal they were just doing exactly what the 50% felt but just outpacing any melee DPS LOL
I think this change is fine, it is not the best option, but this specifically affects PvP only.
They stated in the beginning, they were going to avoid trying to make class balance separate for pvp and pve, because it requires a lot of extra changes. This ultimately affects healer versus dps balance and only in PvP. SoD doesn’t have only 1 aspect of the game - killing the enemy faction. There is a lot more PvE happening than PvP at all times. A lot of the time abilities have been nerfed here, was due to PvP complaints which also heavily affects their PvE aspects as well.
I would rather there be a damage reduction aura on everyone than my class to be gutted in both PvP and PvE.
To be fair, if they would do what u ask them to do, the game wouldnt be this broken to begin with.
The 50% damage cut was the “easy” way out for them so they took it.
Now the most that u can ask or expect them to do is to scale back or remove the damage cut.
Dont expect them to balance this game for either PVE or PVP, because it has been broken since Day One of SOD.

Exactly ! Instead of nerfing Shamans OPness in PvP SOD decided to nerf everyone! 
This proves the devs has no clue whatsoever how to balance their game.
This is reason im quitting both my accounts!
Theres no hope for this dame, just wasting your money and time and being pissed and frustrated playing.
Why still play??

I hardly do boring PVEs,
So speak for yourself, not everyone do raids!
ya its way worse than that actually. im basically full bis struggling to kill anything
A parse lord has entered a PVP post…
It was already ruined.
You know they said this was a temporary change they are testing the implementation of right? Like, it GOES AWAY in a few days. You will be fine.
As opposed to them being utterly useless and essentially able to be ignored since most of them can’t outheal one person to begin with. There definitely needs to be a change, I don’t know if this damage reduction was on point though. But the burst meta needs to go. Healers need to be viable and valuable and shouldn’t die 1v1 to dps classes.
This is the dumbest thing I have read on this forum in a long time, and that is saying something. That’s not how balance and changes work, you don’t get to segment yourself off from game balance updates.
Healers have been valuable and viable provided the players aren’t PvE healbots who actually use their kits.
The burst meta problem was already sorting itself out when more players began gearing properly + the stamina buff.
Why force SoD which is Classic-based where PvP has always been bursty into being a poor imitation of resilience-style PvP when one has WotLK going into Cata to play for that?
If you hardly do PvE, that explains why you are level 17. I never mentioned raids. I specifically stated PvE content. Getting from level 1 to 50 is nothing but PvE content, the same will be for 60 as well. Where did you get all your gear from? You must have all of your items simply from PvP then, likely wearing old p1 items in places where you couldn’t get PvE upgrades, understood.
You mentioned quitting on both your accounts. How did those get leveled up? Must not be PvE content…
Are you done with the asinine comments?
Or a personal who thinks logically. I play on a PvP server. Every season I have been the maximum rank and I’ve got many of thousands of PvP kills both BG and open world.
