Ele shaman in Pvp

Classes Shaman

Hello Blizzard,

Back in the days, in DF, you wanted the Elemental Pvp build to be fire based, and nerfed Stormkeeper by 75%.

  • Now with the recent changes, you nerfed Lava burst damages (overall),
  • You nerfed the Ascendence mono target burst potentiel (and even tried to destroy it completely in the 30th october tuning patch, but changed your mind after reading player’s feedback),
  • You nerfed Elemental’s survivability with elemental’s durations reduced (primordial bond),
  • You force us to play Stormkeeper in PvP without buffing it in Pvp and now even reducind the charges to 1 (from 2), for a +20% damage lightning boalt… (the 10% lightning boalt damages upgrade won’t change anything since with never cast this spell in pvp anyways)…
  • And there are other things i forgot to mention…

I am extremely concerned about what you’re doing with Elemental shamans. It feels you have no idea where you’re going, forcing players to change playstyles, stats, builds, then you come back on choices, nerf shamans even more because of some bursts overperforming a bit (mainly because of bugs).

How do you want the shaman community to keep interested and motivated about the game by doing all this ? I’m exhausted.

They made shamans weak, and the only kill potential is on a 2min cooldown and instead of playing your game, you need to survive being tunneled

Especially in this game called Wolrd of Warriors, the nerfs have no point.

Blizzard clearly has no idea what they are doing, they are just ruining these classes and buffing overperforming zugs.

Ele Shamans are good. No idea what you 2 are talking about. Sounds like a learning curve

Yeah i’m afraid you have no idea indeed. Do you play Ele ? In PvP or PvE ?

I play pvp, according to your achievements you have experience at 2000 rating.
When most player gets stuck at that rating, they usually complain about the class
No offense, but sorry to break it to you. You just need to get better.
I’ve seen to many post about 1800-2000 people crying about their class. Most of the time, it’s not the class.
I’ve seen BM hunters and Ferals complain aswell.
There are actually ele Shamans playing at top rating in every bracket. Less 2v2, you get the point.

So yes, ele is good. It’s not super S-tier or F-tier. It’s most likely solid A, where all classes should strive to be.

I’m not saying Ele is bad, i’m just trying to understand what path blizzard wants for elemental shamans, since it’s unclear and changing all the time.
