As in the history of wow, shamans get the short end of the stick. but my question is, why doe weapon imbues not stack with wild strikes? like what is blizzards rationale?
wait till 40 and see what happens
you should add “at the moment” to the title.
They will get much better.
you have to be seriously delusional to think enha will be viable at 40
Well you see all the devs play limp-wristed, soyboy classes like ret paladin, warlock and mage. They are thus frightened by the big shaman BVLL, oozing with testosterone and the power of the elements.
a shaman’s own windfury is 2 strikes not 1, instantly better and once you get windfury you wont be using anything else as dps
so don’t get gloomy just yet
wrong rockbiter is superior to shamans own windfury. don’t talk if you are clueless. This has been well discussed on the shaman discord
And do you know what runes are coming for Shamans? I’ve looked and cannot find them.
unless they make a rune that double our auto attack damage, we won’t be viable.
superior in sod next phase? questionable
no its not. its certain that rockbiter will be better at 40. dualwield rb
Unless a rune boosts Windfury.
fair enough, but they won’t do that because they don’t want enha randomly 1 shotting stuff in pvp.
there’s a 2h rune coming, far less questionable what it will do in pvp, so find your Paul Oakenfold album
That’s the big problem with 2H WF, if we get anything that enable us to get WF on demand, it will instantly be extremly powerful in PvP.
The problem with shaman is they needed too many stats and most of the “fixes” they got over expansions have not been done at all with runes. AP to spell power is an obvious one and Maelstrom charges but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. It’s just an awkward class to balance in vanilla and sadly I main it.
I hope the runes fix it, but with the refusal to change talents I just think the fundamentals are wrong to make the class strong. Some very overtuned runes are needed and some quality of life added to other existing runes (rockbiter/windfury for tanks, lavaburst to increase flameshock range for ele) or it will only slightly improve at 40.
Playing enha is like you dont have money to pay sub and choose warrior thats why you choose enha because it is only free to play melee class lol. I mean who want to play melee deals useless dmg in every content. I prefer to play hunter pet instead enha.
Note to people who is going to say Butttt phaseeeee2, lets meet at 60. Lets do our comparison there. You also know that warrior will be god and enha will be trash as usual.
Because people who play warrior 30000x more than enha. Blizzard need to make these people happy and enha is just small sacrifice for good amount of cash in balance. Maybe hard to swallow but reality. See ya in 2030 classic++ why enha is bad posts.
By that logic , everyone should meta play top 3 speccs and anything else doesnt exist… way to go man , were back to same s…t classic 2019 all over again , we just need 90:10 server faction dominance to happen and its gonna be exact copy
wcl rankings are up, shaman dps is lower than tanks or equal.
oof
