i come here everyday hoping for shaman rework so i can sub back to WoW and it has become a bit of a comedy show instead of hope, i read class changes, i scroll down to comments and i laugh with other main shamans at this travesty :D
I just want to say a few words about resto shamans. They are fine in raids and PvP. But m+... And they seem to get no attention, other than warranted nerfs in PvP and the chain heal buff. Which is nice, but won't make a difference in m+.I REALLY hope they swallow their pride and make us feel like we just went from 110-120 and not 110-99. Artifacts, legendaries and tier sets got replaced with passive bonuses from azerite. I don't really feel it that much on my main. But when playing alts, especially resto shaman in m+, it's really obvious. With soul of the farseer you had echo of the elements, cloudburst, ancestral guidance and the artifact ability. And with the antorus tier set healing rain was actually great in mythic plus as well. And the passive cast time increase from crits on the artifact. Now you have... healing surge. It's fun in raids raids, but no tools that are fun and good in raids are good in 5 man groups..
Good grief, I escaped to BM which I abhore because they gutted MM, and now that people got a bit geared ad started using otherwise useless barrage to deal with the silly Ghuun corridor runs, they are nerfing it because apparently AoE is the root of all evil.Meanwhile, Shamans still can pull half of Motherlode from the first pack at the entrance with a single chain lightning.When they gutted hunter post-WoD for Legion, I saw all fun disappearing from MM play, but now I actually miss Legion hunter, where I could at least take Sidewinders for lazy and stay viable, if not competitive.I feel so suckered by that mount promo. If I could charge back on that, I would.
These changes for PVE or for PVP? (omfg, again nerf for affli lock -,- noone got that amount of hate like warlocks.... how much nerf they got since end of legion? 6~8th now? without any compensation... )
Why bother nerfing fury warriors even if a little, they are far in the lower bracket of PVE DPS, and PVP we don't do enough burst to be a good threat?
Warlocks have been crying out for much needed PvP buffs since Legion. Sad to see that they only get, yet again, another nerf to damage which was pretty average as it stands anyway..Who makes these decisions... *facepalm*
lol. nice idea. nerf more frost damage and give 1.5 sec slow back. What an idea! Now i m going to choose frost over fire for that 1.5 sec! its true that 2 % dmag increase overall made blizzard overpowered -_-
