Shamans game breakingly OP

I watched my friends play, they continually met mainly shamans who two shotted them while running after them and being enhancement (with lava burst).

  1. you got to nerf lava burst damage on such a stacked class already or

Maybe don’t make them both insanely good at range and melee at the same time but have to choose. Lava burst hits like chaos bolt, the difference is the insanely OP maelstrom buff making it instant cast. Maelstrom was lvl 70 talent but lava burst and all the other things are far later In the game and was never used in this way

  1. maelstrom should not make lava burst instant cast. This is not what maelstrom buff was for, it was for allowing them to cast a spell once in a while, like a lightning bolt to finish someone off or a lesser heal without stopping. It was Not to intended to use the best elemental weapon as baseline. That’s like chocolate on chocolate.

It’s just not balanced. A warlock have to cast chaos bolt and then wait (until death usually) to do it again. Shamans can charge after you with melee weapons and do it (lava burst) instantly while that not being their main attack. It’s like a warlock having both soul link, conflagrate and haunt (best ability from each spec). You cant have everything, you got to choose, shamans too should choose, not get all the best abilities from every spec at max damage.
If you want to lava burst then cast it.

It’s like a rogue with mail armor and shield with PoM pyroblast without cooldown. It’s Completely overpowered. The amount of damage is unheard of, they hit harder than any other class too, while having the largest kit. Why do shamans hit harder than mages even.

Plays Shaman, I don’t agree Shaman is OP.

Meanwhile Sarthe goes into a raid with level 15 greens and pumps 1k dps as an Enhance.

He was saying in the video most Shaman players are stupid and don’t know anything about the game or class as he is doing more dps basically naked as a Shaman compared to his raid geared hunter.

Its broken and hopefully will be made weaker next phase. Paladin has had 0 chance to Shine in SoD as every spec of Shaman has been better for the last 6 months.

Broken class, broken buffs, broken utility and broken dps.

I’d give up HoJ, bubble, Lay on Hands to have Shaman utility, buffs and Maelstorm procs.

maybe on trash, sure.
run fire nova and burn rune and you easily do better aoe than anyone else.
single target in full greens might get him 600 dps on a good day, with a perfect group setup, fully world buffed and fully consumed up.

one might wonder why you don’t just roll shaman if you’re willing to give up your entire paladin kit for some shaman abilities.

think you’re playing the wrong class, buddy.

awww meanie shamans stealing your limelight?
its not shaman players fault that aggrend chose to “normalize” ret and force them to run fast garbage weapons.

Fine, I don’t need felguard. I don’t even use it.

oh well in that case we need to take something else you like away, because we’re being petty.
so how about we remove the rune that makes life drain a passive as well.

Tell them to stop doing PvP.

It’s the worst game mode, They will be happier without it.

without me this forum would literally be dead.
i’m basically the only person anyone ever interacts with here, at this point.

That’s the strange thing about SoD paladins. Some of them want to play warrior, others want to play shaman, very few actually want to play paladin yet they all do anyway. Sure gets the ol’ noggin joggin’.

Oh a separate note we’re going on month 5 of crying about shamans now. Time sure flies when you’re having fun.

hehe one would think the playerbase would learn how to use dispels, silences and CC after almost half a year, but i guess some people just never learn.

btw. its actually so bad that you can safely run earth shield in pvp. literally nobody is dispelling it.
no wonder they have trouble with flame shock/lava burst combo.

I agree with problems on spriest too ofc. Their dots do too much damage absolutely. They should depend more on casting spells like mind flay before the dots would have that effect.
And the homunculus is too strong, people run away from it like a BM pet.

Potato your name indicates self loathing which you project onto other people. You just say strange cruel things like shivette to people probably because you both were bullied.
You come with suggestions like bubbling to take the flag in AB and think you’re exceptionally intelligent to come up with something that hasn’t ever worked in wow and which the wow team which are actual geniuses for making the best game ever knew. Of course people have tried that. It doesn’t work it says “you can’t do that while immune” with any paladin shield. They thought of that when making the game.

When people try to come up with actual positive solutions to get people back into the game you two always attack them personally for sucking even though none of you seem to understand how the game works or know anything about them. That’s one form of negative power equal to jealousy or envy which indicates your low status.
Additionally shivette lacks creativity, show both in suggestions like “stop sucking” without having any background information on the person. The name itself shows he has no creativity currently using the name of an ability as the character name. But it can be done just practice creating ideas instead of attacking people. You will learn one day when you become adults and get actual power than you cant solve problems by talking to people like that, but rather that it will attract lawsuits and get you fired.

Neither of you are glad in arena, as opposed to me and certain other and you have no suggestions you just spread venom because you feel bad yourself. Stop taking it out on people trying to collaborate to positive change. We feel it too but don’t take it out on randoms.

You actually had one idea though - choice. You said then warlocks can’t have felguard. You came up with an idea there which could work. Having to choose between different groups of abilities. Thats one theory of how to solve the overpoweredness while still maintaining balance.
