Ive been playing boomie since the start, and have never 1shot anyone.
You have to look at what the class can do on its own. Self buffed.
If you have berserker buff, weakness to magic debuff on target and every other available buff its a different story, but then its not the class itself. Playing solo 1v1 starsurge could not 1shot someone unless they had 0 stam on their gear and ress sickness.
And if you decide to kite instead of playing battle chicken the shaman has no counter, oneshot or not. If I get the jump on a boomkin yeah he’s probably dead. But at the same time I’m toast if he gets the jump on me and kites. The same can be said about any ranged class. If they’re dumb enough to get close I’ll wreck them, but if they play smart it’s a very difficult fight to win. Shaman has no hard CC and no real gap closer. All we can do is run you down while you nuke us from a distance.

They know it but pretend like nothing hpnd and spreding missinfo so blizz wont nerf them
And I highly doubt eles can just “global” someone (which means 1shot) with just a single lavaburst, unless overload procced and the target had less than 1.5k hp. So, same thing as you just described(except theres an interruptable cast involved)? Dont even try to justify 1.5k starsurges prenerf lmfao
ah yes, the “dead in one global”
so… i gotta get to 20m range, place a fireshock on u and than cast the lava burst.
good players have plenty chances to interupt or stay out of reach. if you just walk up to a shaman ready to rock. u will get nuked in 1 global + 1 cast if overload proccs.
As melee class? Y sure
Shamans telling you they deserve to be at number one spot because years of neglect of Blizzard and that they’re finally not the underdog anymore, then they also tell you ways to counter a shaman and that they’re actually very easy to kill! (A mere 2 classes can counter them guys!)
Just lol, which one is it guys?
It’s funny because boomkins used the same cope at the start of this phase.

it is brother, it is 
sometimes u on top, sometimes not. it is like in other versions where a paladin stuns u for 5 sec and blows u semi afk away. the old turn tables and all.
just stay away from shamy for the moment. go after rogues and warry and what not.
Good rogues know to bleed orcs to death and microinterrupt with gouge, running behind them as cast finishes(can even shs), kick etc. With a mindnumb shaman will have to cleanse like a madman instead of doing anything else. I do agree that the enh buff was overkill for PvP, they were already strong before that, but thats a PvE influenced change.

Y but paladin is same wheelchair rn same with warriors, rogues . We are not rly op in anyways rn xD. The only difrnce between ret and warrior that warr is wheelchair 2x times but ret is just wheelchair
sorry to hear. but… it just is not your time. it happens.
reroll and relax.
Sadly this is not reality. Coz sham rn just uses tank rune and can easly outsurvive any rogue or mele pressure and kill u in 1 global 1 second. Thia is real only for classic era but we now play season of disvovery where things are difrnt.
Idk, im seeing shamans die to warriors, rogues and palas quite often in 1v1 in BGs. I do see them winning as well though just as often.
skills issue. No shamans should lose against a rogue pala or warrior atm given the power they have.
