Is it me or is shammy survivability terrible? Decently well geared while playing tier 4 delves and I’m getting the sh*t kicked out of me.
So not fun!!

I haven’t done a 4 yet, but I was doing 3s in quest greens and was having zero issue. I haven’t been back in since getting my item level up a lot. I’ve been busy trying to do 400 things at once. Between trying to finish the campaign, get pvp gear, complete all quests in every zone, level professions, farm materials, and everything else, I just haven’t had time to enjoy delves yet.
Can’t wait to try em!
I love when a game kicks my behind!
I’ve been seeing a lot of people say the new levels are much harder over all! Which gets me excited!
I just hit 80 and tier 4 was too difficult for my brand new shaman.
That being said, I enjoy utilizing all my abilities to smooth out a run.
Stone Bulwark Totem, Astral Shift, Healing Stream Totem, stuns and hexes go a long way. Throwing heals on yourself relatively early is also a plus.
You’re not wrong, it sucks.
I level boosted a Mage and Warrior.
WoW now favors alts over balancing now, which is why we have warbands.
I would just roll another class.

In terms of raid/dungeons I feel fine survival wise.
Delves are a bit skewed. If you ever played Torghast it was the same thing, the normal mobs you would encounter would beat your butt. Delves (5-7) hit my Paladin who was 20 ilvls less than my Shaman (level 8), granted my Paladin though had a lot of instant heals and reactions to the mobs vs. my Ele Shaman kiting. Bosses as my Shaman werent that bad since they interrupted themselves a lot to do mechanics.
They are perfectly doable its just a little rough and you have to approach them a bit slower. I think as Brann levels up he becomes a huge asset. I had him as a healer, NOPE, the healing was minimal and sparse. DPS Brann surprisingly contributes a lot.
Did tier 8 at 580 ilvl as enhance and though I had to heal a bunch it wasn’t that bad. You just can’t steamroll it and you need to kick, stun, purge, etc. when needed.
I was ilvl575 earlier and managed to clear T6. It definitely wasnt a cake walk but it wasn’t too difficult co sidering that i was one ilvl above the requirement. Make sure you are using your stone totem and stun totem. And dont sleep on how useful rock elemental is for bosses. As long as you spend the occasional maelstrom to top off yourself with a heal, you should be good.
