Cough cough 30 yard shocks and raid wide totems plz.
It’s actually really concerning how many QoL changes Shamans really need to be even competitive. We need to be able to drop totems without using a global or mana. Other classes use neither of these things when they provide buffs because they do so outside of combat. Furthermore they are able to buff the entire raid, whereas our totems are limited to party groups and have a limited range.
The problems don’t stop at totems. The closest thing we have to a gap closer currently is ghostwolf, which provides nothing to prevent slows, it cancels in doors, it cancela when we use totems, it soaks 2 talent points only for it to go down from a 4 second cast to a 2 second cast, and it removes water walking. Could it be any more obsolete now that we have mounts?
Some would say the worst offender is our weapon buffs and the fact that they fail to mesh well with even our own kit. Nobody wants to use flametongue weapon or frostbrand for any reason, so why does lava lash require flametongue to deal any sort of damage? Why does rockbiter increase our threat generation when we arent using way of earth? Why don’t rockbiter and windfury effects double when applied to a 2h weapon? Why is Wildstrikes passive while Windfury totem requires multiple globals and mana? Why does Wildstrikes stack with applied poisons and sharpening stones while Windfury does not?
Why do all other duel wield classes get +50% offhand damage but shamans do not?
Blizz. I know some of these arent QoL but straight up buffs, but I think it’s important to get the point accross that there are so many issues with Shaman and I don’t think these are even all the problems. Just the glaring ones that make me really frustrated to play the class I’ve loved since OG vanilla. Please make some changes.
Nope. Devs have said in an interview bag space is a premium and they arent doing things that save space.
Shaman players complaining about totems taking up 4 slots when hunters and warlocks don’t even have a 4th bag to put stuff in lol
