Shaman: Forgotten Abilities, horrendous nerfs.

[catholicism198]

Hyperbolic- I know.

Do you think these Devs will change the Shaman back to how it was on Live, before the nerfs.

Reverting Eeek! back to a self punt instead of a 10m knock back. >.>

Or bring back Get'n Smarter? -Was great for DPS/DPS based heals

At one point it was even the Shaman's other DoT before being replaced by 'Ere we go...ugh..that ability. >.>

I missed it on Live since my computer couldn't run the game at the time.

So jelly. Looks fun.

You can also see the old animation for Mork's Breath- (The one in the character creation screen)

I'm certain this will be looked at once T4 drops & balance forums open. I will be lobbying for Shaman buffs. But we must wait until then.

you must add here "in random direction" like it was before.

[Nameless]

old eek was fun but the rrandom factor made it quite useless. New eek is better when trying to survive not to mention that it add slow on immuned targets which make it much better than rp/zealot one.

If u want to make it similar as SH selfpunt it is ok but imo that would be too op for shaman class

At least Get'n Smarter...I don't know why they removed that ability- especially since the Shaman is billed as a DPS/Healer hybrid.

Im pretty sure some abilities had their damage increased when it was removed to compensate. Same with the AM losing its 100ft aoe spirit debuff.

Only two were buffed- slightly.
Others were nerfed.
AM was buffed though.

The nerfs were down to mythic going through reducing aoe damage at time. Big Waaagh got reduced same as AM got its aoe dissipating energies reduced.

Big Waaagh! isn't an AE... and the cost of all Shaman abilities was increased but dmg was decreased, while AMs got a dmg increase but no cost increase.

Getting off topic...but I'm sure that these DEVs are also going to nerf AE as well. Hopefully.

And bring back Get'n Smarter! Please.
