Clearly anyone losing to enhance shaman in pvp have never tried kiting them - losing 10% DR and 30% health is going to make this the easiest class for casters to kill. Even a good warrior can kill them pretty easy if they get a crit.
Enhance are already free kills for the best caster pvp classes in the game (boomkin/spriest) - why do they need nerfs to make them even easier to kill?
Really convinced at this point that 99% of the crying was from spriests who were mad they got nerfed at all and are just taking it out on everyone else.

When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

Enh shamans dominated for 7 weeks. Theyll survive. Be glad it took this long for any tuning. Ranged Hunters got gutted one week into P1 supposedly because explosive shot and chimera shot did “too much” damage. How did that play out? Well lets see… 2nd last dps class, just above frost mages now due to poor scaling. Oh dont forget how they can tank while dishing out more or equal DPS to an actual DPS class (you dont think this is unbalanced?).
No single class should have that much dps and survivability. You either get your damage nerfed for having more survivability or vice versa.

That’s a crazy thing to say when balance druids, shadow priests, rogues, and enh shamans all exist. Heck, even Ret Paladins easily overpower ranged hunters.

it was in response to hunters being “gutted” 1 week into p1 where they were still dominant for the rest of the phase.

Since you’re so up to date I’m sure you remember how everyone pointed out that such nerfs were going to trash the spec after P1, and it did. That’s what he’s referring to.
Also, Rogues and Warriors handily held that spot for a good portion of the phase.

Yes it was gutted and its reflecting a lot now into the later phases. The only feature that was unbalanced were pets being able to solo actual players, but now guess what? Pets do tickle damage and we practically lose 1v1 as ranged hunters to pretty much every class/spec out there.
Wanna kite a shaman? Frost shock, earthbind totem, grounding totem.
Wanna kite a warrior/pally? Oops warriors have two charges to close the gap and sit in your dead zone. Pallys can hammer of justice and just bubble run to you or chase and spam excorism.
Wanna kite a rogue? Shadowstep, Sprint, perma CC.
Casters? Instant casts. Insane 1 button burst. Still dies to their dots after we killed the caster. So did we really win?

long range earth bind, travel form, frost shock. lol. k
you mean outside of tank locks, rogues, warriors, paladins, and priests, right?
lol a warrior cant even walk up to a enh shaman to touch him.
oh no, you have a counter? shucks.
because shamans are the most broken class WoW has ever seen since its release.
and here it is, his real frustation. the only class that can kill him.

trap launcher? hunters always took skill in era pvp. why should this be any different.
and on the topic of enh from what i gather from the discord theyre already actually gutted on ptr. rockbiter supposedly under 100 ap now, shield woe and so on. double RB was what broke them. well rb effecting both hands in general was the problem.
