And what about all the other caster classes with the same problem? LOL
Oh ya pally is just a popular class because it looks cool, most of those guys get frustrated and quit at 40 when they get pooped on lol. All the shaman rerolls are purely because of the power they wield.
the 1 caster than i can say hard casts most often is destro warlock but they also have seduce which limits the effect of being melee pressured while also hitting harder than ele sham.
Paly still gets hit by shaman like a truck with 50% damage reduction mainly due to the nature of their damage not being physical. I think the main problem with WoE is that paladins have to spend talent points into prot whereas shaman get better tankiness just swapping in a rune. If exorcism and holy shock would hit for 1.8k damage combined on a 8 second CD, I’d be ok with keeping shaman the way they are. But as it stands their cast times, CDs, dw speed/dmg, heals, and abilities are better than most if not all classes.
Gotta nerf that on Rockbitter, it can’t be predominant over Windfury.
It doesn’t make unkillable. It makes harder to kill.
Game isn’t balanced on 1v1. In group PvP we kill shamans all the time (STV) and shamans can die easily. They can be kited, they can be cc’d.
If you nerf way of earth then you gotta remove all the other “tank” abilities that are avaiable to other specs, like ret having avenger’s shield etc.
Remove the AP from rockbitter, or reduce it drastically, and change spirit of alpha to give same AP as trueshot aura gives to the shaman’s group.

Pretty much what everyone is saying. All these shamans coming in here defending the state of the class and pvp in general are doing nothing to make the situation better. Everyone should be able to enjoy pvp. If alliance had shamans I think you’d see a different story unfold. The blues lack of response on this is unacceptable in a subscription based game. You either roll shaman to compete or pvp is just no fun. Problem there is it’s a faction only class. Blizzard really deserve to lose subs over this.

The prob with enhance damage is that blizzard artificially and directly injected attack power scaling into the spec. Beta ap is not needed, double rockbiter nerf alone would solve much of enhance damage being through the roof. They also forced a massive damage coefficient into lava lash which is why it slaps so hard. Enhance is basically GMO.
If they just nerfed the ludicrous AP scaling, double rockbiter, and lava lash a bit, they’d be fine. I however disagree with way of earth nerf, and here’s why:
Enhance is one of the only classes that can survive reasonably in this clown show sod damage meta. It gives the spec a purpose to be an anchor, which was originally warriors role in “original” classic. Warriors do not do that now, but enhance does.
You could nerf enh dsmage by 50% and they’d still be viable with way of earth. However, if you gut the flexibility of way of earth on top of also nerfing damage, they will not be practically used and loses its unique anchor niche.
I don’t think nerfing survivability in sod is a good idea given the high output pvp meta. If anything, they should be giving more classes the option to mitigate more pvp damage.

What? The hell does that have to do with anything? If they are that good 1v1, how do you think 4-5 of them do running around with a healer in tow. Alliance has no answer. I promise you, if Alliance had access to shamans you’d be a lot less arrogant and daft. What a stupid comment.
All I see is a bunch of low post count people with many different non-sod characters saying the same thing.
Like… a group of 5-6 people are posting on many alts and creating a narrative around this.

Was in Ab on resto druid last night where my hps was 200-300. Meanwhile top of the list was shaman healing for 500hps, a full 200 more in dps spec.
one thing that always cracks me up is when a shaman says u can just wand our grounding totems, but what they never are willing to admit is you have any idea how much time it takes to actually do that? not to mention they have a solid chance to resist your wand shoots, by the time thats all done u will likely be killed by their global.
Sure you were, why not post on that druid instead of posting on this retail rogue with 22 posts

Why not post on your shaman? 
Laughing in priests tears…
Because I don’t main or even play a shaman?
You’re the one making wild claims here while posting on a retail alt with low post count.
explain how gloating helps your argument towards shamans, all ur doing is redoubting how op shamans are by not giving an explaination to that point i made
wanding a totem is a solution, but having to do that means you arent doing anything to stop them from globalling you, also you cant move and wand, you are basically forced to waste a global anyway, the only instant cast we got is death which we need to use in the fight! not gona waste it on a totem unless it was out of our choice since the grounding totem was well hidden
You edit your post to remove all the use of “us” when describing shaman and then complain about this😂 jokes on you buddy
I like how everyone just ignores my suggestion and instead just bicker at each other. Sod players are so cringe

It is laughable the most op class throughout P1 even after all nerfs is here complaining that shamans are good now.
Know your place.
No, I didn’t.
But what could I expect from a liar like you. You’re here part of a brigading campaign.
