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.
(PS: I’m 2k7 xp)

To be fair I feel like Ele was stronger before 11.0.5. We were bulky sustain damage spec working well with WW - probably we would work well with Outlaw now. Then there were 2 weeks of absolute mayhem with Ascendance one shots and going back to kinda the same gameplay but worse with Stormkeeper and less uptime on Elementals. For me this is a downgrade but whatever people like. I unsubed. I feel burned out playing the spec that got reworked 2 times in last few months. My friends main (R Druid) is in shambles. We tried rerolling but got tired very quick.

Imo at the moment the game isn’t worth the money. I feel ripped off that R Druid, H Paladin, Disc, BM are at the state we see now and nothing happens. At the same time they add 90 euro store mount to rip you off even harder. It’s not us celebrating 20th anniversary it’s them celebrating and getting gift in more revenue from whales.
