Takes big hit of the hopium

They have to be….

The mount for the epic edition has a lightning hammer on the back of the bird…
Lightning Rush is the mounts ability…
The hearthstone is lightning themed…

Takes big hit of the hopium

The entire expansion takes place in a subterranean zone…
Shamans are the only class centered on earth based design and elemental themes…

Takes big hit of the hopium

Sure it seems they give all the unique shaman stuff to other parts of the game like the human racial or warriors… I mean, it’s on theme with the expansion.

Earthen wall totem is getting a big visual so you can see it on the ground in all these dark brown underground delves and zones.
Ascendance is gonna look sweet.
Raid buffs inc.
DPS hero trees are gonna be lit.

Who says they can’t make big changes in beta? They have 3 months give or take, plenty of time.

Anyone want a hit of this?

We literally just had an entire expansion of incarnates and primalists.

Take a wild guess what kind of magic the primalists/incarnates use.

Literally tailored for Shamans but they made it about Mages/Evokers instead.

I honestly believe in Beta they are going to dump everything on us at once, Adjusted/Fixed Talent trees, Visuals, QoL changes, Adjusted Hero Specs (particularly Totemic) the whole shebang.

I think they’ll also do the same with Hunters aswell, like the can’t just leave Shamans how they are, I doubt they will. They can’t/wont.

I knew those pesky goblins were up to no good winks.

Its yer first time isnt it?
Been playing shaman since vanilla. If were ok, they wont touch us. If were OP, they nerf us.

As for mechanics and major class issues, good luck. Blizz has shown countless times that every other class takes precedence over shaman.

Even in bfa and SL they said wed get a revamp, guess what never came?

They…remade enhancement at the start of SL, ditching the Legion design. Unfortunately, they downgraded the design for DF with the redesign of talents.

I don’t miss SL, but I will continue to dream of how fun SL Enh was.

You oversimplified too much.

If we are ok we either get ignored or nerfed. If we are bad we either get ignored, nerfed, or small trickle buffs that take months to get us up to mediocre. And if we are OP we get nerfed in a hotfix within a week, if not days. Remember when we were good, not even great, in DF beta? Caught a 25% damage nerf to everything.

Even this week enhancement was supposed to get buffed, yet mysteriously those buffs were forgotten. You can’t even write this stuff because no one would believe it.

If nothing happens before the roll out of TWW. Then expect something to happen during patch 2.0 of the expansion. Blizzard has traditionally been painful to react to improving the class. The like to generate numbers, even though they may not represent reality. If representation for the class/spec is low, then MAYBE they might do something about it. Otherwise ignore the noise and expect over promise and underperformance.

16

Probably too late for that, if there’s any prayer of changes its probably a .1 patch

Yup blizzard got it all wrong
1st raid end boss should drop an epic weapon for shammy since she is a incarnates and also commands primalists. But nope blizzard made her drop an epic bow

2nd raid make sense they end boss drop somelthing to make the epic weapon for eovker

3rd raid again make no sense the raid is in the Emerald Dream why would an epic axe drop. It should be an staff use by druids.

LOL shammy and hunter are less class to be work on. I wouldn’t expect anything till end of the world saga lol. Hunter’s only change so far from Alpha was SV having is attack range shorten like most melee (so pretty much a change to all melee) that’s it. Not one single change.

While mages, warlocks, DK got seveeral reworks already.

All signs point to an expansion centered around goblin mountain thane warriors.

First raid had special weapons for both evokers and hunters, but nothing for shaman.

I wouldn’t want a legendary though. I got the axe on my paladin and just, nope.

It’s so dumb they decided to reduce melee range of the spec that’s based around using a weapon that has increased melee range.

I just don’t understand Blizzard logic sometimes.

I got the axe too. I don’t even want it since I don’t want to spend so much gold and time to farm to make it. then I got it on my warrior and I didn’t even bother to do the quest. Not spending the time and mats. And to make it worse in S4 you can’t even buy the axe or aug legendary with the bullion but you can get the hunter’s bow… so so dumb.

They got the good stuff, trust

You sure you don’t want any?
