Before ... you know.. someone will say something... inappropriate.

There is nothing funny about marauders or the fact that you dont realize what you described is exactly what a marauder is, except the mobility part.

You are so deep the rabbit down hole that you cant even see what your realm has but you gotta tell us all how broken a class you probably never played is.

The difference is that Marauders can easily be countered.
1: Stacking disrupt for Terrible Embrace, healers tend to get loads of Disrupt due to willpower main stat aswell.
2: RP speccing for MRoF and Swift Runes can just tear all the Mara debuffs off as fast as you aply them. (works really good against sorcs to btw)

The problem with WL is that it kinda lacks counter plays in the right group comp. Sit back while rpds dots up, pounce in for the burst or fetch and kd a healer and push into the enemy wich now have healing dissadavantage. Range Morale Root anyone trying to kite you. It's a extremly cheezy class.

its funny how a "y u nerf shaman" thread completely derailed into a "nerf WL" thread :^)

And it still continues...

Actually, the funniest part of all this whine is that the thread was about how an ability, that wasn't even available until recently, nerfed a class that is incredibly hard to kill in most situations. Please lock...

Really this all seems to of started as a shaman isn't god mode for solo thread. How dare any class and a melee class no less challenge it.

Whenever I see these threads/ingame channel posts complaining about this or that class being OP, I can't help but wonder: how many of the complainers actually play the class they're complaining about? On a regular basis, or at least at all. Because every time it seems to boil down to, "that class can kill me in [obviously exaggerated short time period]" or something with a very similar tone. Apart from the 1v1 problem where people somehow tend to fail to mention that being a factor, without playing both the victim of these allegedly overpowered classes and the allegedly OP class itself, you won't really get a good perspective. It may very well be that disregarding the exaggerations, those anecdotal encounters are true - but results of a good player versus a poor or mediocre player, or some variety of that: gear, practice with that specific class and so on. If you play the classes on both end of that encounter, you will know that that grass is not as green as it may seem from just one side of the fence; or to put it in another way, you will suck with the "OP class" as well.
I don't see a lot of players proclaiming that they have switched to the side/class/whatever that's supposed to be OP that week and loving it because they found it as strong/easy as they thought it would be, either - despite that being a pretty easy lie to get away with too.

Because people would never sink so low and touch a ridiculously overpowered class. No easymode!!

WL don't needs to be nerfed. Rather give Shaman some tool to actually deal with it. For example give Shaman a friendly Fetch or give em back their old version of Eeeek.

I think if shaman got a new ability called "Steak", then things would be balanced more better.
