Good Evening,
Blizzard, you have been ignoring these posts for years but please finally listen.
Enhancement Shaman is more desperate for a class rework than even Ret Paladin was before you turned them into Gods.
Please see my points below:
-
Far too many buttons to press, too much bloated activity on my action bar and limited reward. Compare this with Ret and WW.
-
Too many things to track, again with minimal reward for this. Compare this with other hybrid such as Ret and WW.
-
Terrible current and future tier set, ruining sundering and arguably making the class even worse. I wouldn’t be surprised if PvP enhancements played without the tier set in the new patch.
-
No defensive abilities during a stun, please return Shamanistic Rage. Let’s not pretend that the new “burrow” ability is a good defensive for Enhancement, it seems more designed for Resto and Ele.
-
I agree that Enhance healing is a good defensive but you only get 4 heals before you’re out of mana. In solo shuffle, due to dampening, you die very easily as the game drags on.
-
Damage is good if the player knows what they’re doing. However, it’s still behind other melee, who can achieve this with less buttons and trackers.
-
Ret Gods have buried Enhance. Ret can do EVERYTHING that Enhance can but BETTER. Why would anybody choose to play with a shaman when they can get a paladin.
Rets have more CC (that can’t get hex interrupted), a strong stun, more passive heals and much better defensives, and now more consistent and burst damage.
How can Blizzard keep ignoring this spec? It shows a lack of community and gameplay awareness IMO. The fact that this has been ignored for years is concerning.
