how are mages compared to shamen for pvp?
Shaman is tankier, does 4x mages damage without casting anything and has constant AOE pressure on the entire enemy team by just existing.
Mage dies easily against most meta specs, has no self healing, can only do damage during cooldown, has a billion buttons with half of them being low-impact soft CC that does nothing most of the time, has no hard CC and all your CC breaks constantly cuz all other meta specs are 24/7 cleaving passively and it’s also 50 times harder to play, yet even when played well, your success entirely depends on what you’re fighting and with who you’re fighting.
that’s a quick summary

isnt shamen all about procs, they dont get as many defense as mage either right?
I think for pvp they are around equal, but if you plan on playing arcane/fire, you will have to put in double the effort to do the same as the shaman
100% correct, this needs more upvotes.

Haha, I’m exaggerating a little bit, but there is quite some truth to it.
Ele proc are quite consistent and there’s a bunch of talents to force them.
Mage does have more active defensives, while shammy has more passive defensives.
Basically mage is better at avoiding…well avoidable damage, but you struggle surviving DoTs or ranged instant attacks(best example is hunters). Shaman is just generally tankier, since it doesn’t have as many kiting tools and mobility, that’s why it can struggle against multiple melees training you.
