Tank shaman is really busted in pvp, but how did you lose on a paladin is my question. Just bubble and faceroll…
How exactly does a paladin kill a shaman while bubbled? The shaman already takes 0 dam and now the ret is doing -50% damage…
Ele/tank/resto shaman needs to get gutted. Spirit wolfs need to go back to retail where that ability belongs. And the elemental slag shield that gives them a boon of their totems needs to get gutted. purge needs to be reduced to 1 dispell of a magic buff.
Other than that shaman is a slot machine of RNG. Sometimes you high roll and 3 global your target and other times it takes a minute of kiting then you kill your target.
It’s not even ele tank. It is resto/ele with 4 set tank t3. yeah the tank shamans are super annoying too as are most tanks atm since they get to be in full tank gear + getting an extra 50/60% damage reduction.
Also the fact that def works in PvP is the dumbest thing of all. Just miss half my attacks cuz “LOL IMA TANK!” “BABE GET ME ANOTHER BEER LOOK HOW HARD IT IS FOR THE NOOBS TO KILL ME IMA SHAAMAAAANNNNN LOL BABE IM SO GOOD”
PvP damage reduction needs to be added to the PvP gear and not be some trash blanket debuff that applies to everyone.

honestly if they just made each piece of the pvp set and shield/weapon or whatever give like 2% pvp dmg reduction (yes even the blue set) it would go a long way.
but really tanks in pvp are annoying as crap to deal with but ele tank shaman and resto/ele shaman arent gonna kill you very fast at all and youre not gonna kill them quick either. best bet is to just trap them or not feed into them and kill all their friends first then gang up on them.
equip one tank rune and/or set bonus and have your damage reduced by 80% and threat increased by 100%. fixed
You will never kill a good shaman as ret, they won’t fight you straight up, they will just kite you to oblivion.

Yeah I think it should be 2-3% per piece capped at 20% dr.(so you can mix n match) Then rework set bonuses to buff the weaker specs. i.e buff/add abilities like runes that certain classes need. like shadowfury for destro. Then tie those abilities to 30 point talents in a spec for better balancing.
This would make PvP gear worthwhile again.
Then you can return the global DR back to 30% for everything not the 30%/40% nonsense.
It’s like 60/50 dr now for damage.
I know, it’s terrible. Needs to go back to 30% and PvP gear should be buffed.
troll right? haha
a ret walked up to me and did 7,200 in a single GCD, kind hard for anyone else to beat that
Shoulda disarmed him bud Learn to play.
kinda hard to disarm someone with a weapon chain (which is what alot of them are using).
btw no shaman is gonna 1 shot you without greater than 40 seconds worth of setup WHILE NOT GETTING HIT AT ALL . and even then its probably not a 1 shot.
I have yet to see a ret using a wep chain…
my buddy who plays a warrior runs into rets using it like all the time.
so either hes really unlucky and all the people who post about it on the forums and streams are unlucky too or maybe alot of them are running it.
Welp I just inspected every ret I could find in SW and every single one of them had crusader or an unenchanted wep. I think your homeboy is just unlucky, or all the rets he fights just have a secondary wep to stop disarms. or maybe they just bubbled his disarm idk.
and all the streamers and forum people and even the dueling people dont have it either?
i have to press x to doubt.
All of the streamers? Like all 2 of them? Like I said maybe they swap weps idk. I assume most people just don’t expect to be disarmed by a hunter and don’t bother swapping their weps possibly. But I honestly cannot remember the last time a paladin was immune to my disarm. Wars and rogues I see immune it all the time, and enh too back when they still existed.
I specifically remember because everyone was crying about rets forever(and still are) since like p2 and every time I saw them in bloodmoon event I just disarmed them and watched them skey around wondering wtf was going on.
theres several streamers and people who do clips and plenty of warriors who have complained about pallies having weapon chain.
hell even the duelers in stv arena gripe about it.
it is a thing now.
ahh well doesnt much matter in the long run other than its entirely possible to run into one and there goes the argument of “just disarm them bro” .
oh well.
seems like alot of them are using junk buffs to protect their main buffs too as purge doesnt seem to fully gut them now before they get close and eat over half your health in 1 swing.
Maybe it is because in a duel people ya know… prepare things… to counter things the other class does. I did mention swapping weapons several times. But the doesn’t mean the average paladin you are running into in epl is gonna have a wep chain on.
And as I also said EYE have yet to see a ret immune a disarm. Me my own personal experience. But I also think the idea that suggesting to disarm the ret being a bad one because every ret has a wep chain is also wrong. Sure they may have a wep chain but is that really gonna stop you from attempting to disarm them?
