You (finally) empowered elemental shamans, then 3 days after the patch, nerfed them. Okay, there were a lot of bugs in the new Ascension design. But was the damage nerf really necessary? We finally could compete with Paladin or Feral bursts.
BUT
How can we forget about the BM hunters? Why did you strengthen the warriors when they were perfectly fine? Where are the nerfs for SPrests who have been OP since day one of the season?
Let them have the damage, but cmon, BM hunters have 3 ways to heal themselves, Turtle, tons of traps with low CD, silence, they dont need to cast anything AND EVEN DEEP WOUNDS.
Do you really know what you’re doing?
How many times have u seen other lobbies than BM hunters rets and warriors?
Are shuffles designed for mentally ill people or what?
(inb4 zugzug skill issues, get better ; how am i supposed to get better when i have 0 fun playing this game; im waiting 30minutes to do my things then lose to a full melee lobby being trained like a dog. Elemental shammans, balanse druids, mages are not scary anymore, they have to survive instead of playing the game)
Ele is still very strong and our burst is probably the highest in game. Yes, good players will try to counter your Primordial Ascendance goes, but you need to play around that.
We have just shifted a bit from a tempo based/sustain to more setup oriented gameplay.
Big goes every 2 mins with Primordial + Ascendance.
Mid goes every 30 seconds with Primordial.
In the meantime, we are doing 1 million Earth Shocks, up to 2.5 million if it crits.
Yes, our sustain has dropped off, but we now how something we lacked for years - kill potential.
So you are mad because your buggy ascendance can’t oneshot people anymore? I queued around 2.1 mmr in 3s yesterday and ~50% of the games had an elemental. The class still performs way above average and has some of the best defensive talent options in the game. But sure … continue coping because you lack the skill to play your spec properly.
you can also check the popularity and statistics of BMs, stop being a douchebag, im comparing Blizz’ reaction time.
Shamans were OP 3 days after the patch, because of bugs, instead they removed some damage AND its alright we still doing fine as WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO
However
Blizzard didnt do anything to the class that is spiking in rating, because of their changes. You can’t deny, just check the graphs and stop blindly defending an OP class that need nerfs.
That’s the thing, your overperformance as Shaman was a bug, with BM they sadly has designed it to be like this. Is this ok - no, but this is how blizz pretends to work.
dude the heck u r talking about? Burst is the highest, and you dont have ANY casts, everything is instant. While feral could be easily stuned/rooted etc. Casters under Precog - are not controllable
There are/were ferals who use precog. Idk Whats the meta rn however i’m pretty sure i’ve seen atleast 1 using it on awc.
Also you claim
Then you say “you can’t be cced under precog” which you get from getting kicked - how do you get kicked if you dont cast?
Also casters can not be stunned or?
it’s definetly a thing and really good since you get so much benefit from it cause mostly you will force a stop on clone if they have the cds reaty to do. with ferals haste level from the buff of the talent, its also pretty easy to fake.
but i mean i suppose this is something you already know anyways with your xp you have the game knowledge but it’s more for all to read
