tbh i dont like any of the changes to sham (enhance or ele) but out of the 2 ele is the worst. i personally think whomever thought these changes were good or warrented should be fired. ele has shafted over when they took away "spirit walkers grace" and they tried to give us something weaker to replace it. as soon as you make a spec unable to move it becomes useless. they gave us back earth/lightning sheild OK they give us back tremor totem yay i think but the rest of the things ele shams can do another class can do 10 times better.
TOP guilds =no ele shaman TOP M+ teams = no ele shaman and this is not going to change at all
Just did a few BGs with one of my ele shamans. Couldn’t believe how bad the damage was - I could have stood there for a week against most of the other classes and I would still only have them down to 60%. Meanwhile MM hunters and disc priests are like raid bosses, palas and assass rogues are lethal, etc. Will leave him now till he is 120 and see if it scales better
So you bring ele shaman to the raid insted mage. Warlock. Hunter? Guess not. Numbers matters, and ele shaman are not good at it now.
