I’m on my main Ele and I haven’t had a problem with any melee or caster yet, Wind Shear is OP on a 6 sec CD, totems let me negate DK grips and earthbinds stops Warriors along with TStorm + GWolf.
People were saying how Ele was a bad 1v1 but it slaps every match up except maybe like a good Feral but there’s rarely anyone on Classic servers who can play one that well considering most of them are PvE Andys.
Even in BGs it slaps, in 2s I run Destro/Ele and win in the first 30 sec after some CC, I mean honestly it’s too OP lol
Oh yeah another Ele or i’ve seen some good MM hunters too but there’s also very rarely any good ones on Classic.
Yeah true but I haven’t really played against a good enhance yet, most of them fold pretty quickly once you apply some CC and pressure.
Don’t you guys go oom extremely fast? Seems like you’d have problems with anything tanky/self heals.
Death Knoobs arent hard? ams, strangulate, death grip, so many ways to screw up casters
Nah talents with water shield keeps us full mana forever.
Nah a good DK is hard but not impossible, most DKs on Classic Servers have no idea how to play their class lmao. They open with DG, get that grounded then pop anti magic, then all they have left is AMZ which you can knock them out of and then instant burst them down.
warlocks hard counter them

Yeah probably. CoT, dot to get grounding out of the way, then freecast their bums and avoid shocks
Ummm… Warlock and shadowpriest rock you… as well as Ret paladins.
Ele are pub BG all stars for sure… but they are a bit harder in 2v2 to play. They have a massive kit but very little defensive CDs.
Any DK that gets a grip totemed is bad. I’m on my DK and literally haven’t found any class in the open world to be a problem.
Because most people in the open world are not good at pvp. Enter a dueling competition and see how you do.
Not sure about 1v1s but I own ele as aff. Just dot and los mostly. Then pet silence into a fear …etc
They never really tried all that hard to balance classes 1v1. Ele sham is not special compared to other classes/specs outside of duels.
So do DK’s. Good rogues aswell.
Rogues are decent yeah… astral shift makes it a bit harder for rogues since most of their dmg is in burst windows with stuns.
DKs… i generally dont have an issue, but most DKs are really really really bad… so its probably skewed
Lmao you’re playing against awful dks. I hope to run into you someday.
Warrior can reflect lava burst or overpower UA or pummel. If using your bladestorm properly you should be able to stick to the shaman in a 1v1 situation.
Paladin can stun or repentance it and divine shield if needed, freedom and cleanse will deal with earthbind and frost shock. Just keep the freedom for the earthbind so it doesn’t take 2 Globals and you can run out of earthbind range to avoid the slow.
Mage can just CC and whoop the ele shaman. They got all the tools to beat another caster.
Warlocks can just DoT and hide behind LoS or run out of range as affliction or play the burst game against the shaman as destro.
SPriest do the same as aff lock.
Hunter can feign death a cast, outrange at 41 yards, pet root to keep ele out of range, silencing shot if MM, Wyvern if surv, scatter shot, use LoS to get instant shots off, roar of sacrifice the lava burst, etc.
Death knight.
Rogues can just stun lock you to death and run away if they fail because that’s what they do.
Enh shaman can just run you down.
Feral can just berserk and clap you.
Boomkin can either do like afflock and LoS spam moonfire or do a standoff like Destro lock.
Ele shamans are only annoying if you don’t see their lava burst to counter them.
Lmao I would wash you in a 2v2, i’m already almost 2k with my destro buddy.
DKs are a joke against Ele.
That must be why people focus me out in the world. Boy are they surprised to find a DK who knows how to play their class.
