Why can shamans burrow with flag?

Why can a shaman use burrow when carrying the flag?

Burrow beneath the ground, becoming unattackable, removing movement impairing effects, and increasing your movement speed by 50% for 5 sec.
When the effect ends, enemies within 6 yards are knocked in the air and take [Spell power * 6.6 * (1 + Versatility)] Physical damage.

How is this different from a paladin using bubble?

You’re not allowed to have fun.

Shouldn’t hunters be allowed to turtle as well then? Would you find it fun if a class could oneshot you but only every 2 minutes? You can’t even use engineering items when carrying the flag anymore…

Why are rogues able to vanish twice even during combat and full dotted of debuff and pump some serious damage out of nowhere with full HP? Become a developer and do it yourself or let the people have the fun they deserve since this is a game that we all play to enjoy, not to annoy.

Nice red herring :slight_smile: But just to entertain your statement.

Because that is a class design of rogues? Similar to how every other class has major CDs they can use…? Note: You cannot vanish or sit in stealth when you are carrying the flag. WHY ARE YOU TAKING THE FUN AWAY FROM ROGUES? :rage: (see how stupid that sounds?)

I am paying 13€ a month to play this game, why can I not raise criticism and concerns for things I FIND to be annoying? “Just let everyone have fun”… will not be fun in the long run if you have these stupid mechanics…

Only during subtlety, unfortunately.

Complain more and you might just get what you wish for. The game isn’t perfect but when did World of Warcraft focus on balancing PvP when is primarily PvE oriented? I could complain about 10 different things and still get the same results, as I said this to you in the past, go write a nice feedback to the support system and the developers or whoever is in charge of this will take a note of this.

If this was a Rated situation, you would rarely see this happening since it is mostly a Guardian or Vengeance capping the flags and they do some crazy mobility gimmicks and can soak up a lot of damage, is not like a shaman can permanently use burrow every 30 sec? thankfully a shaman can only use it once every 2 minutes for a duration of 5 seconds.

Which is what I am currently doing? Making sure that it is a known “bug” that might need some fix? The PvP patch notes hint that they DO balancing for PvP as well although it is not nearly enough. Yeah you can give up if you don’t see any results. That is up to you. But WHAT do you gain from telling people to stop complaining? We are supposed to make this game better as a community are we not?

Yeah but it is still unbalanced and not fun + it shouldn’t be that way since NO other class has that immunity when using flag.

It’s not a bug, it’s using a defensive while carrying the flag.
Pala bubble is completely different, you can heal yourself up and even use ability’s during that.
Burrow you cant do anything for 5 seconds and dots still damage you also while burrowed.
I don’t play a hunter but I bet your pet still attacks while turtle is on, in fact I believe it does.
Maybe cloak of shadows while you carry the flag is a bug then as that makes you immune to DMG now.

I get your point, but as someone said: hunters can’t turtle with flag, which works the same as burrow.

You can also pop elemental or your wolves before you burrow and they will hit. So im not rly sure what kind of excuse that is x)

If shamans can burrow with flag, hunters should be able to turtle with it. Paladins should be able to bubble with flag. Mages should be able to use iceblock with flag.

16

If rogues can cloak of shadows with the flag then shaman should be able to keep borrowing with the flag too, cloak is more of an immunity to damage than burrow is.
I don’t know why they don’t let hunters turtle with the flag, is it longer than 5 seconds duration?
Maybe if bubble was 5 seconds duration they would let it.

17

We need shamanistic rage back.

18

Are diferent skills, diferent work :stuck_out_tongue:

You can die while burrow because the dots and bleeding.

Why the hell do people whine so often, that they want what another class has and it’s not fair… bla bla bla, jesus.

Perhaps blizzard should delete all classes and make 1 class, so we can all have everything the other classes had… that would be a lot of fun huh ?!

So, as a shaman yourself, you feel its perfectly fine to be able to carry the flag while being untargetable (not being able to attack the target)? Because of what reason?

It has nothing to do with “wants what another class has” lol.
