Shamans Need to be tuned down somehow in PVP.
Especially Elemental shamans. its very obtuse to have an armored class a combination of the following
- no pushback on spellcasts
- insane ranged burst with insta cast cd
- very Tanky due to shield +mail capabilties
- quick heals that do way too much healing
- snares
- interupt
- Hex (cc)
- Aoe heal
- Close range survivability
- Purge everything
I think after 20 years to work with, turtle wow devs be able to understand how shamans really have no weakness in the current scene of pvp unless you outnumber them. the thought alone being a very tanky class that can also heal fast and burst faster then any class is just way too many powers not even including the utilities.

Otherwise, support this viewtopic.php?f=14&t=18390
>Futhermore, I think that Shaman should be reworked.

Re: Shamans Need to be tuned down somehow in PVP.
Hex in particular is really what got me
Elmhoof - 60 Boomkin
Tacheka - 41 Melee hunter (Planned secondary main)
Anbone - 36 Shadow Priest (Idk what I'm doing with him)
The laser chicken called to me. And so I answered.

Re: Shamans Need to be tuned down somehow in PVP.
Yet more whine from clueless players. Elemental got the single hardest, stupidest nerf in CC2.
Just tell your warlocks to focus shamans and you are golden.
Revert Electrify, reinstate Elemental Fury.
I'll agree though the possibilities with the cc2 enhancement tree is kind of wack. One melee spell hit gives you the equivalent boost of the BWL trinket.
I suggest you look at smite priest or caster druids as the classes in more urgent need of a nerf.

Re: Shamans Need to be tuned down somehow in PVP.
Just wait for rated arena double/triple kara shaman combo oneshoting half of the enemy team within first 5 seconds. Only then some measures can be taken.

i will remember this post and gonna quote you to laughamanagor wrote: Mon Jun 30, 2025 8:32 am nah, double shaman won't be viable, i see double lock being way stronger than double sham for arenas
Re: Shamans Need to be tuned down somehow in PVP.
At this point, anyone complaining about shaman in pvp needing some more nerf, is just a bad pvper. I'm sorry to sound cliche, but for those complaining, try shaman out in pvp, and you'll realize how much work it is.
Always been a hard class to play/master, hasn't changed in TWOW, but that's just how it always is, so all good.

Re: Shamans Need to be tuned down somehow in PVP.
people are playing paladin,priest and druid because they are op but realize they lose to shaman.. this is why people have a problem with it but honestly the balance here is no worse than actual vanilla or wotlk
Re: Shamans Need to be tuned down somehow in PVP.
Shamans are strong because the class they are weak to isn't played by Alliance in PvP. So they get to run amok.
Meanwhile, Alliance mass Paladins which suck against Shamans.

Re: Shamans Need to be tuned down somehow in PVP.
Shamans either need their burst or tankieness nerfed, nothing in this world would convince me otherwise and you're ignorant if you truly think they don't.

Shamans also need their substained single target damage buffed as right now they re very bad in raids.Gildark wrote: Tue Jul 01, 2025 1:09 pm Shamans either need their burst or tankieness nerfed, nothing in this world would convince me otherwise and your ignorant if you truly think otherwise.

I disagree, our ele shaman does great damage in raid. Skill issue on your part most likely.amanagor wrote: Tue Jul 01, 2025 1:10 pmShamans also need their substained single target damage buffed as right now they re very bad in raids.Gildark wrote: Tue Jul 01, 2025 1:09 pm Shamans either need their burst or tankieness nerfed, nothing in this world would convince me otherwise and your ignorant if you truly think otherwise.
