make way of earth have a % damage done reduction and a % threat increase or require a shield for way of earth to be active.
thats it.
anyone who runs anything other than way of earth knows shaman die as easily if not even more so than every other class without it.
no gutting shaman.
just nerf way of earth in that way.
Unfortunately that’s not how the dev team operates.
They will nerf them out of existence per the usual and next week they will start to scream about nerfing the next thing.
The healthy cycle continues.
Literally this
Shamans one shotting is normal and I will never complain about it
As a mage I can even beat shamans 1v1 and am not one of the classes most overtly affected by how op way of Earth is in pvp but I still have to recognize it as way too strong for pvp because it just is
Same way I say fire mages being able to swap between aoeing down an entire team then immediately top everyone up with fat low mana heals is also pretty stupid op lol
Have the rune only activate while shield mastery rune is active. Also, have it tied to Stoneskin Totem rather than Rockbiter Weapon.
That’s how the Only a Flesh Wound works for Rogue tanks. Rogue cannot tank without both runes because OaFW requires Blade Flurry to he applied and activate to work.
naw no real need to put extra steps just nerf the damage and put a threat increase or make it require a shield.
no need to put something as (hate to call it this but) janky as rogues have to deal with to tank.
Negative. Learn to CC.
That’s pretty much the crux of it.
Run WoE or just don’t bother with PvP because it doesn’t matter if you do a lot of damage…if you never make it to the opponent.
No Stuns, no Fears, no Stealth, no Charge… just intercept 1 spell and/or one physical attack and fall over. (Like Vanilla…)
yep honestly people dont usually face non way of earth shaman and have no gauge on them without it.
Nah, not even close. WoE is just the most broken problem with Shaman. Elemental Mastery 1800 crits+ Overloads and instant chain lightnings wiping entire groups is too much power. Decoy Totem being a 20 second cd is too much power. Other classes need to be brought up to Shaman’s level, not nerf shaman imo.
so tell me you want to gut the class without telling me you want to gut the class.
ill address this too.
ele shaman caves to melee pressure and is easily kick able.
the only shaman doing instant chain lightnings are malestrom weapon shamans who are melee and have no spell power to make it “wipe an entire group”.
decoy is fine and the buff can be dispelled by 1 of the 13000000000 priests running around unless you want to try and balance pvp on 1v1 which doesnt happen.
Screenshot Evidence of how broken shamans are:

1597 AP in Scarlet Monestary Gear 12.7% crit, at least 10% hit from a rune, and hes literally never stepped one foot into a raid, what the actual hell, blizzard need to nerf this into the ground.
I don’t even use WoE and I still win every PvP engagement.
that ap value is only possible with dual rb and lots of ap gear along with beta buff and other things that the regular shaman doesnt have and if you run alpha you dont have decoy totem.
all of which is irrelevant to the point i have made on the op.
the only problem with shaman is way of earth shaman also able to do very good dps.
fix that and you fix shaman cause non way of earth shaman are quite balanced.
hahahhahaha
Nerf them into oblivion.
I hope the devs gut shamans 10x harder than hunters, boomkins and mages, so much they’re basically classic vanilla era but worse.
LMAO… the hate is so great.
Thats the major reason I choose Ele Sham for SOD. I knew the hate would fuel me. =)
I say gut it. Nerf it into the ground so there is only one viable playable spec.
Yeah, that’s the reaction he’s going for
(Note that he doesn’t show the buffs on that shaman…)
Well I mean if thats the reaction hes going for then its 100% warranted no class should be achieving this at 40 let alone one specific class in leveling blues due to runes.
They need massive nerfs.
No the 39% health and damage news times Down by 15% to put them inline with other tanks. No reason shamans tanning should be doing more dps than 75% of dps specs …
