Why do Shaman players complain the most on the forums?

Literally more than half the threads complaining about balance are Shaman players.

Ele Sham is flying under the radar so far that it’s touching grass, the spec literally deletes people and puts out absurd pressure.

RSham also sees a very high participation in most Arena modes.

The only spec I can see shamans whining about being valid is enhance but if 2 out of 3 specs are popping off then I don’t see why people who play this class can complain on virtually any balance issues.

Elemental is so fun and does so much damage.

Its really like 3-4 individual shaman players consistently crying.

Paladin players of all specs and across all levels of play are the biggest whiners since forever

Yeah ngl I love my ele sham lol, it’s insane how easy it is to pump on him and once you learn all their tools they have a good kit to throw off most melee.

Enhance sucks.

Ele is A tier atm. Good but not one of the broken 5-6 specs. It will probably be S if it dodges a nerf gun when they finally come out with more tuning.

RSham is B tier. Prevoker is S+ tier and RDruid is A tier. Healing in general feels bad right now.

Enhance is a solid C tier.

The complaining is because regardless of the damage and burst Ele can do, having 2 melee constantly up your a** crack even with Thunderstorm, Unleash Shield, Earthgrab, and Static Field totem is annoying af. You can still win games, the effort to win those games are far higher than melee zugzug.

Also I updated my “CheckPvP” since people here think that means something. 1731 as a first time Ele in Solo and I want to pull my hair out almost every match.

Correct, you named other C and D tier specs. Ret is better than Enhance, even if the Rets cry about Mass Dispell.

I honestly don’t think any spec in the game rn is c tier

Enh has its strengths and weaknesses, it’s a niche spec that typically has 1-3 really good comps

So we’re just going to dump them all in B tier and not separate strengths and weaknesses?

If it was c tier then regardless of the comp enh is playing I’d say it’s favored to lose any mostly meta match up

Thats not the case

I guess that’s fair to say about a C tier. Maybe it’s B. It still feels really bad. Like playing slots.

Yet it’s only sham players perpetually crying around here. We can’t all be DH/Demo/SP/Unholy. Most specs are capable of more than people let on and Enhance is no different. Saw a 200k healing surge crit with MS up in arena yesterday, they can still slap with damage, etc. You guys gotta stop with the victim mentality.

Oh no, are you here to talk about how Rets are in a wheelchair and complain about Gay Bubble getting dispelled?

There are not any “really good” enhance comps atm.

Frost dk and boomy seem really bad. I was in a shuffle with Saul earlier and he was cranking damage with wind fury and storm strike and executing people from 40%. And he was also doing big hps .

Enhance is definitely better than ret in this meta.

I would move Rsham to more of an A- healer.

I think a combination of enh/sub rogue/dh/ww monk one shots getting nerfed from the start of the season ontop of the hps buffs ontop of rshams figuring out how important it is to talent ancestral guidance or copy paste dyllbarrs max hps build into cleaves ontop of spam purge being good vs rdruids and evokers .and having 2 roots can really be insane vs prevokers

Rdruid is easily S tier this isn’t up for debate.

?? what do you even want bro

Enhancement doesnt need significant buffs and they dont need nerfs either in PvP, this is the ideal state you want every spec
