Such a balanced and reasonable request, I’m sure the devs will consider it!
Just started ashenvale inc as lvl 37, took 5min to complete the starter quest. I like this
so… is it fair to say, shaman are gonna be fairly strong in p4? i am mainly playing it to tank dungeons, but i do enjoy the pvp fun (often a one sided fun).
Well… compared to a rogue i just finished that really strugled as a low lvl in incursions. Duskwood incursions was perticular rough as lvl 25 up to 28.
While i was really questioning myself why i made a rogue when i started with ashenvale incursions, felt really bad

shaman and paladins will be the god class and the rest non hybrids will all be unplayable due to the fact that blizzard forgot what the hybrid tax was and this is exactly a showcase why it should exist! SoD started at 2.4mil players now its 50k players because shamans and paladins can 1v5 while the other classes are a free kill because if you can do everything heal , deal dmg, and be immune to cc while the other classes are limited to runes so much worse, it looks like they were took straight out of the trash!
Memo is that you cant do everything and be the best at everything or it makes imbalances for the classes that arent the same class as yours, it should have been named Season Of The “Shaman VS Paladin Cries” so we know which looser took a support class and cried so hard to blizzard that they are so bad that now they are top dps with a 5 button rotation and 0 brain capacity to realise that hey im top dps i got instant heals and anti cc tech why dont i become a god in pvp with no real skill XDDD
crazy, almost like real life where some men are handsome, successfull and funny. would be so much fairer if you could only be one.
bro… long story short. shaman rock. woop woop!

Nah not happening. At this point my guess is 50% of the remaining players are shamans 
You don’t have to guess, just go on WCL and have a look to get an idea. As DPS enhancement is currently a below average played spec, while elemental is played slightly more than frost mage. And that is after more than 4 months of purported, absolute domination. Tank shamans are only played more than tank rogues, with less than half as many parses as tank paladins, while healer shamans are also second to last.
No surprise here since ingame as soon as a resto shaman makes a few poor choices his parses are plummeting, yet our “community” consists mostly of people who put a title as in this thread → shamans, nerf shamans.
This is an obsolete concept and SoD gave the opportunity for those otherwise meme specs in classic to be viable.
You are free to keep thinking that and disregard new releases, tourist players, summer vacation, content draught, but I’d rather have an okayish populated realm in SoD. The question is if they would let it live with say even some 1,5k ppl playing or pull the plug out of financial reasons.
The problem were free of cost instant heals from maelstrom weapons and a more distant one maybe wild growth.
Other than that if you as a hunter, mage or arms warr lost vs a ret/boomkin/enh/ele/spriest if these specs were actually trying to cast a heal especially after the combined reduced dmg AND healing aura, you were doing smth wrong. SoD is about dmg and powerful cooldowns.
Enhancement is taking on some pretty severe nerfs, they’re actually so heavy handed they might kill enhancement in pvp entirely…
No instant heals means no self sustain (don’t you even dare mention lesser healing wave).
No self sustain means dead shaman.
Meanwhile elemental is being buffed to the moon and then some, especially if we factor in tier 1 set bonuses.
If you were hoping for shaman nerfs, you got your wish.
Too bad those nerfs hit the wrong spec, and thus you’re about to see the already-inflated number of elemental shamans in BG increase even further as that spec is going to go from demigod to actual god.
As an alliance player, it is in your interest to see blizzard revert the nerfs to enhancement, because if those nerfs go through, the alternative; which is elemental, is what you will see more of.
so true. i am true happy enh. that sometimes side steps in to ele. ever since wow started.
and whenever they poop a bit too much on enh. compared to ele… i switch. even if its only for BGs. i always end up as enh again anyway, but not until i fried some palas.
Dude, you can still heal yourself Like a shaman does in Classic era… Just got to use your brain and start fakecasting
Yeah good luck getting a 3 second cast off before you’re dead lol.
Lesser healing Wave, i know you got No idea about PvP, but that was awful+ Riptide, shaman is beyond broken
Imo maelstrom weapon should work to make the strongest heal instant BUT not reduce the mana cost as well, that was my point, I think it’s a fair middle ground. Instant lesser healing wave and shamanistic rage as defensive tools are pointless to discuss about in the current form imo.
As far as ele goes, imo, Burn rune only adds hurt to injury in grouped pvp goes, but tbh I’m not too bothered by it since I’m achieving pretty much the same thing on my fire mage.
