Call of thunder to 5 from 6 is not an improvement....its a nerf to elemental...Mage, Lock, Huntards, and rogues are screaming nerf elemental shamans all day long cause of there Lightning over load and extremely high crit rating. SO what does blizzard do...takes Elemental shaman talent build where you normally get 11% just from speccing down to 10%...lame Nerf...I enjoyed my 40% crit and now taking to 39 is just ticking me off....Blizzard hates shamans and is very alliance bias. VERY Bias towards the babies.
blizz is PATHETIC...
they clearly HATE shamns coz we prolly happen to be the ONLY EFFIN class amongst all who NEVER get buffed and on the contrary get FUCKED as we go along.
im sure blizz is gonna put up an effin rule next that shaman cant use weapons and armor and give them a fucking featherduster and apron and say fight...
shame on blizz...
pride for the shaman who beyond all this kick every1's but in the game
I forgot to add the Earth shield Nerf as well...You listed I over looked it...10 to 6 charges means casting it more...so what 50% less when your casting it 2 times more then you have to so then it equals out...so ontop of a Resto shaman having to group heal he has to recast earth shield every 18 seconds...BULLSHIAT....Blizzard really hates us with a passion I believe..guess priest get tired of being out healed by shamans and Blizzard wants us to chill out and spend more time refreashing a dumb shield...
Whats next taking away shields?
Why do they just remove the shaman class if they are going to screw us so unwillingly?
But the way things are going nerf wise they will nerf outland instances come expantion time...Hell 2.4 is giving welfare t6 equal gear for any nubs who can farm kara and easy heroics. so look foreward to many more guilds crying they cant down the first boss in BT cause they never got past gruuls but opted out for welfare raiding...Blizzard is slowly screwing the game for everyone...
nerfing the fuck out of shamanistic rage...from 30 seconds to 15 seconds. i dont care if it cant be dispelled anymore (it shouldnt have been able to in the first place) and if the mana regen becomes 30%, the main reason i use this is for the 30 seconds i get tons less damage taken. btw i never use gw anymore but if it can be an instant cast i might consider putting the points in for fast getaways.
well, in between all the bithcing they DID listen to, they forgot to look at the poor effin class CRYING for a buff...
i agree, if they hate us so much, REMOVE THE EFFIN CLASS!!!
sheesh they are SO trying to balance out this game and effing up the shaman class progressively as they go on...
the sham rage thing was a blow under the belt.
as it is, our 41st talent point in enhc sucks. and now they are making it SUCKIER???? while the ENTIRE COMMUNITY WAS CRYING FOR A BUFF??
tut tut...within the next 2-3 patches, shaman are going to be SO pitiable that in the BGs all classes are prolly going to go like...aww poor things, just leave them alone while we whap around for 1-2 dmg and cast "LIGHTNING BOLTS" that wont shock even a critter...
so much for Kalgan and his much vaunted "RETURN TO THE SHAMAN FORUMS". BULLSHIT!
You forgot the most important change.

For all you shamans complaining about these changes, THEY ARE NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL. You complain about people bitching about shamans, and yet your bitching the hell out of this forum. I dont have a 70 shaman, i browse this forum occasionally and im so tired of people bitching of every damn thread that blizz hates you shaman, every thread its one big QQ about how shaman are hated by blizz. Makes total sense guys, their devious plot is working, little do you all know that blizz made the game so, once many players got used to a certain class, that they would nerf them repetedly! mwahahaha! Oh wait, that makes absolutly no sense! You guys are a very strong class, i see fully decked s3/t6 shaman every damn day, quit complaining about nerfs, we all get them, so GET OVER IT.
that is not true. i saw other classes changes in 2.4 and they did not get nerfed. I heard shamans used to be an awesome class, but then everyone started complaining and we got nerfed. The only way i can kill any class is if they have low health and mana. A holy priest can kill elemental shamans. Blizzard needs to give us back our powers.
Edit:Never mind, i was really undergeared when I lost battles against casters. Now i can kill all casters except warlocks and sometimes other shamans
