What are Shaman getting in P2 to restore the balance?

Waterwalking. And that shamans dont look goofy

Do you care about speed runs?

Do you think waiting for people to drink is useful in speed runs, or would Mana Tide be helpful when you’re trying to go fast?

Mana Tide Totem is not available to Enhancement.

Ret Paladins & Enhance Shamans give equivalent str/agi buffs for their group only… if one is useful in melee groups, then the other will be too.

Yes, it is a Resto talent.

Large raids will have more Resto Shamans than anything else. This is still Classic WoW. Shamans heal in classic.

This is Sod! *kicks the classic mindset into the pit.

You should make a macro to swap to a offset of pants with shamanistic rage, and have a keybind shift click to change pants and activate shamanistic rage. We actually have insane regen with this and especially with WSG food. You can get full mana within 8 seconds, you just leave combat shortly, do this trick and swap back to main pants with Way of Earth and go right back in.

Not to mention weapon switching between double rockbiter and bfd mana oil. Thats resto stuff. Still doesn’t help enhance dps do more dps

16-0-0 is the best raiding spec in my mind right now especially if you don’t have 2 of the same weapon speeds. We absolutly pump on aoe, when swapping to molten blast and use double rock biter with fire nova and dense dynamite.

All those aoe boss fights.

Thank you for proving my point. Enhace runes are currently undertuned. And you only pump on trash that I go in and solo after the raid.

Best enhance shamen are 25-30 dps behind the best ret palis. Would not take much adjustment to bridge that gap. Just don’t understand why this hasn’t happened. Not asking to be the best just asking for the class to be able to hit the 1700th. Best ele spec is 20 dps behind the best enhance,so you’re not pumping.

There is a version of the game where your Shaman can be anything you want him to be. It’s called retail. That is where your Shaman can compete for top DPS.

SoD is a season of WoW Classic. Not retail 2. Classes have set roles here.

Unless a developer plays your class. Then your class plays well.

A lot of people can only seem to have fun based on where they are on the dps charts. Meanwhile I just want some good pvp runes and I’m good.

Yeah, wouldn’t it be weird if they made a change where Warlocks and Rogues could tank? Classes have roles, ppl.

Hi, I played Warrior in 2019.

I didn’t two-handed for damage, I two-handed because it was easier to hold aggro.

how do you explain paladins dmg or all the other new roles for classes then?

i dont think people are even asking for top dps spot.

only to be competitive for middle or higher or whatever.

and i agree with the sentiment of not changing some things in sod like qol garbage or other such things but this is also them throwing some things at the wall and seeing what sticks for new paths of the gameplay.

of course you probably diddnt think of that when you posted your garbage take.

Because of the speed run mindset of DPS ignoring threat mechanics…

It’s a weapon issue. We have 0 good weapons available. They are all too fast or too low raw damage. Imagine if darkwater talwar had an axe equivalent. Lava Lash is suffering in BFD due to lack of itemization. The loot just blows in BFD for a handful of specs.

I’m afraid that how it works in blizzard games is that when you picked class and went shaman, you signed on for being severely underpowered, janky and overlooked.

This is true. The sad part is when they do this to shaman they gimp the entire faction. At this point Blizz is just overtly favoring the alliance.

Yeah that was the point of the rune, You can’t defense cap on a non plate class.

No it doesn’t…it buffs armor making armor more valuable?
