As Absterge said, this healer spec is dead the moment it burns trinket. It dies like a cockroach.
This spec needs more impactful damage (yes, I am looking at you MWs/FWs).
This spec needs to have Earthen Wall Totem looked at and made it to work like it’s 2025 and not 2015.
Spirit Link also needs to be examined and updated.
For the entirety of S1, Farseer was bugged and did not scale properly.
Earthen Shield has been recently fixed (was randomly dropping). It took way too F long.
What did we get from Blizzard? An updated Chain Heal icon and a meme PVP talent called Storm Conduit that not even R1s use. Yes, we also got extra HP on Healing Tide. It’s honestly disgraceful considering how long it takes for changes to happen.
Feel free to add if I forgot something or if I’m wrong somewhere.
PCE
Shield didn’t get fixed, I played some games yesterday and still had to reapply it over and over cause it was disappearing.
Sadly rsham looks like will never be more than just ‘’ OK ‘’ last time it was very good was in bfa, since it’s terrible.
Rsham players I like, they are good people. A bit blunt like me but honorable.
Good in sl too, arms+rsham were good and chicken+dh+rsham was good
Resto shaman is in need of nerfs. The root totem is just stupid strong.
In Shadowlands, playing Elemental Shaman while wearing the Restoration legendary that increased Earth Shield healing by 150% was hilarious. Straight up unkillable while doing solid damage.
Good fun.
I dont know, have never played elemental or enh, only resto. Rsham was good in sl though, chicken+dh+rsham was also broken
Shammy is one of the best???
Agree it could use some buff finally, its been garbage tier long enough for the season. Still the design of it will be its biggest weakness mechanically when ppl still wont play around earth or link, but I dont suspect they will do anything about that so the least they could do is buff something. Like big meaty buff for riptide hot and healing streams, something passive that helps during the rsham is not able cast surge or have charges for riptide. Rdruid heals alot through hots and holy mastery heals a ton on similar principle while they are doing something else for a second.
link is targetted spell that lasts 10 seconds and applies a big heal
earthen updated to have an option to function as 15% damage reduction instead. Earthen lingers for 4 seconds after leaving it.
bring back stormkeeper from s1 dragonflight but make it uncritable in pvp combat.
add option for hex to be a magic debuff instead of a curse. add option to play hex totem from legion instead of hex
revert nerf to static field totem cd
buff cap stun to 4 seconds
fried XD
how to make retail even worse
everything else is a good change tho
Bubble has good ideas, I like them. Bring back the rshamans.
