Yeah baby, lets just nerf and remove everything. “I lose to X, I cant be bad, ergo X is op!”
Also not arguing that Boomies aint busted, but so are a bunch of other specs. I just dont know which part of “They are doing a SoM copy paste as to pretend that they are doing work” is leaving you with a sense that they want to fix or work on SoD.
And ofc, if things continue going in the same direction gearwise, Warriors will become absolute animals I assume in 1 more tier due to gear scaling. Since even now they are hitting like trucks and outside of Shockadin are easily the best melee spec in organized pvp.
As you can see, its not just a few.
Edit: Also if you count world pvp as pvp (Not sure why you would not), then add Rogues, SPs, and ofc, everyone’s favorite annoyance ? The Immortal Warlocks.
Boomies don’t need starfall. They have a great toolkit already. At the very least make it so starfall doesn’t pushback on spell cast. 2 boomies with decent gear can just send an entire team to the GY.
Yes and no. It wont be due to Starfall, you have 20 stars. So if you are hitting most of the team, its going to be 2 hits per person aprox.
Which is why you dont Starfall on the WHOLE team. Its no dmg at all.
Boomie has a good push regardless of SF, but again, so do all the classes I linked already, and they dont have SF (Outside of Boomie). On top a SF dmg nerf = PvE nerf, and Boomies are hardly melting.
Again, Blizzard is looking to do almost nothing, re-doing Boomies AGAIN for the sake of what 2% of the WoW pop is doing ? Never gonna happen.
He is worst shaman on Living Flame everyone knows him there as meme. I guess get blocked on server discord and now come here to spread his wisdom how to be bad.
Few days ago I literally was gankin paladin as shaman untill he take ress at grave so ye shaman is bad … Thatr lava burst is bad ye i can agree one button dead guy
yeah the paladin life which revolves around actually one-shotting plate users and bears.
very relatable as a shaman player where my WF crit can’t even kill a mage unless the stars align in perfect order and i already pre-purged all his shields before the proc.
just stop.
american veterans from the vietnam war are not hit with these levels of PTSD mate.
calm down, alright?.
and once again i’ll say; go read the patch notes.
every patch since phase 2 has included massive shaman nerfs, usually accompanied by massive paladin buffs.
you are full on delusional at this point.
they even snuck in a stealth nerf to shaman’s earth shield and riptide runes (which you moaned about for 3 months now) and cutting their base healing by 50%, meaning enhancement shaman and even ele shaman literally cannot sustain anymore.
the hybridity is 100% gone, just like it is in retail.
versatility absolutely gutted with nothing to compensate for it.
like they might as well flat out remove riptide and earth shield now, that’s how bad they are when used by any shaman spec that isn’t strictly restoration in full healing gear.
literally all the time, everywhere.
the only explanation here is that you are willfully blind and bad at the game.
wouldn’t be the first time someone is handed a gun in a knife fight and managing to miss every shot because they can’t hit the broad side of a barn at a 5 meter distance.
your class is currently capable of soloing whole teams of enemy players mate.
if you can’t do it, then its a skill issue, because other paladin players are doing it left, right and center.
i’m sure there are a few rotten eggs in the shaman playerbase - this is what you get when your class becomes FOTM.
to say most shaman players are worse than your average ret andy is flat out false, though, because i can count the bad shaman players i’ve run into on one hand, whereas the amount of WASD keyturner paladins i regularly run into, are countless.
what CC bro… shaman doesn’t have CC.
we can’t all crutch on a 6 second stun that leaves our target unable to oppose us.
“skills” like that are reserved for god tier WASD keyturning players such as yourself because god knows you won’t be able to actually hit a moving target.
just goes to show howmuch you do not use LHW, which still has better scaling than the cringey FoL/DL spam. if anyone’s hybridity is gone it’s paladins, hard locked into playing one thing. Damage+Healing doesn’t exist for paladins, it does for every other hybrid however.
get off your copium stache, clapping AFKers/PvErs like you isn’t that difficult.
Ah yes let’s ignore the fact that people could go tank spec, outheal with 2 buttons and do massive damage ontop. Truly skillful gameplay
Paladins can’t solo 3 people unless they keyboard turn and backpaddle hard, shamans can do that whilst they are backpaddling and keyboard turning. Power imbalance much.
and again you dont mention wolves that piss off everyone by stunning for 2s straightup, enough time to heal but hey we ignore that and try to zugzug.
shaman is literally made for clowns that cant pvp and still succeed, something you couldnt on paladin.
lesser healing wave heals less than a lvl 40 healing potion and it costs 5x maelstroms to instant cast, which means i then can’t CL or Lava burst until the next 5x maelstrom stack.
you love to act as if shaman is running around with perma 5x maelstrom, which is comedic.
paladin still has the option to bubble up and heal to full.
you can lay on hands.
you have plenty of options to heal.
this is another case of “you are just too bad at the game” bro.
if that is true (which lol) then why are you crying about shaman constantly?
paladin can tank spec in pvp and do the exact same thing, and be more effective at it.
YOU might not be able to solo 3 enemy players, but good paladins are.
shamans cannot do that because we’ve been nerfed into the ground at this point and you are delulu.
ahh you mean that 2 second stun every 3 minutes.
ok bro, sorry my mistake lmao.
sheesh get a room guys…
Back to the main topic of this post (it’s not about pala/shaman after all), let’s nerf starfall and bring boomy back to the realm of mere mortals plz.
I dont even use SI most of the times. Not needed. Especially in premades, to take SI I lose 20% dmg done. And if I need SI I was in the wrong position or multi warrior gripped out of position.
Again, most of you misunderstand Starfall, on a few targets its good dmg. On many its not and mainly visual noise. The hard casts are whats killing you boomkin wise.
No but that’s the thing.
Your toolkit is oppressive enough without starfall.
Starfall damage incur pushback on casts. So in a 4v4 scuffle let’s say, you take damage every second for about 5 seconds, meaning casters can’t do anything. In the meantime you are free to cast on top of that spell when you already have 2 instant oppressive DoTs and a fairly decent instant (Starsurge).
The 1.5 sec. cast Starfire criting for 3k+ with minimal gear is the cherry on top.
I’m not asking for a complete nerf of the spec (yet) but you have to admit that Starfall isn’t necessary at all. You have enough instant damage available to not need a spell that negates every caster for 5 to 10 seconds.
