Nerf shamans in PVP

[Spicyahi]

I think some of you are just hallucinating at this point.

And all the screenshots of shamans being overused on bgs is just a collective hallucination, right

Whatever balance is needed (popularity or power level), I'm sure the devs will get to it after they get up to speed on other, more pressing matters.

Shamans are tanky not just because of gear, but because of those ench talents in the beginning of the ench tree. And they still are able to nuke enemy with shocks, they crit very hard for an instant cast from a tank. And at the same time they hit you in melee stronger than a warrior.
I honestly do not care of retri paladins being OP on the PVE realm. Make a thread about it if you need them to be nerfed too, I'm fine with that. Maybe more paladins will go holy after the nerfs, so it will be a good change.
But this thread is about shamans being unkillable tanks while hitting like real life tanks.

pvp is dead here, devs don't care. back to K5 i guess.

If you do decide to post pictures, please do so with the understanding that posting BG rosters doesnt mean shit about balance

It does actually.
On the PVP server with a very low population horde players decided to lvl so many shamans that they sometimes are 8 per bg.
It tells a lot about the classes balance, and what those players really consider as the most OP pick. Not their words, but the real data.

Meanwhile in reality Paladins out number Shamans nearly 2:1 lol. Thats actual "real data" by the way... Not your anecdotal experiences.

2 :1 ratio on a useless server that already puts em in both teams. ur argument is literly roomtemp iq in celsius.

I usually prefer ignoring such attempts to lure the topic away, and will continue doing it in future. But ok, I will answer once. My gear is way better than you both think. 2 T1 PVE pieces, 4 T1 PVP pieces, mixed PVP/PVE offset with good enough stats, etc. Decent gear for this phase on a 1 month old server.
So it's not my gear, it's shamans being OP in PVP.
Nerf shamans in PVP!

Another example of 4/8 shamans on WSG.
They go in those tanky builds so they receive close to 0 damage, they heal themselves, and when they come in a group there is nothing you can do vs them.
Nerf shamans if you want alliance to play bgs on the PVP server!

Shamans have inadequate damage combined with protection. It's impossible to kill a 1-on-1 shaman. And 3+ people are killed at the shaman's BG. The admins just need to see how the BG for 60 lvl is going, everything will become obvious.

Also, tanky spellhance isn't even a thing yet, the gear to support that comes in later tiers...I think some of you are just hallucinating at this point.

This means you're not playing it yourself and have no clue. Try it before they nerf it and do come back here telling us the results.

There isn't any "dedicated melee" class that can kill them except ferals with bleeds. Every other class needs to pop full cooldowns.
