Heh... guess they realy intend to make ele shamy's unplayeble in BFA...
Seriously, a nerf to Lava Burst? It's almost impossible to cast without a lot of haste. Shamans are free Honor.

ele shaman in pvp = flame shock, now i can finally crit lavaburst him! enemy healer dispells, next time for sure uses flame shock and starts casting lavaburst, enemy healer dispells. Am really excited to play ele in pvp without root, gust of wind and flameshock with cd and it has no drawback when dispelled, sounds like a real fun time!
Sorry am I hallucinating, or did the heretofore useless Goblin racial get some attention? Am I seriously gonna have to keybind that after all these years?
Interesting that Blizzard decided to nerf H DH Nemesis, since it isn't very strong currently in the beta. I assume it will be stronger once we have higher level gear, much like what usually happens when things are tuned for end-game content.
Looks like Blizzard realised they had added a useful mechanic to the elemental toolkit. They were quick to correct that "mistake."
Why do they nerf shamans so much?
Shaman nerfs at this juncture? I wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard removed the class entirely and let the other classes cannibalize their mechanics. Mages and Boomkins could get Elemental, Fury and Windwalker could get Enhancement, and Resto could get... Resto.I've mained Enhancement since BC, but looks like I'll be playing a Warrior and Warlock as my primary characters this expansion.
" Blessed Leap Leap through the air and slam down on all enemies within 12 yards of the target area, causing 2930 Holy damage and creating an consecrated area. Any enemy in the consecrated area is drained 7 health every 1 sec, transferring it to the caster."If this is put in, looks like ill finally be excited to play BFA, and also have to play a paladin.
Nice Guard buff but they also reduced the buff duration to 5 sec instead of the old 15 sec.
Elemental shamans really? With with the return of the cd on flame shock it's back to the bad old days. I don't know how adding player frustration is good class design.
Lol damnit Blizz, why you gotta hate on shamans. Did you catch a shaman in bed with your sister or something?

RIP elemental shaman.
Blue Post:-We have nerfed shamans for the 1000th time becouse we don't like them. We have made it so every other class can do what they do, but better. If you want to succeed as a Shaman, you must play to the highest skill level so you can be on par with everyone else.wowcrendor2011
Kind of wish guard would come back as baseline with brewmaster... like why do we keep losing abilities and getting them back in the form of talents. I can see why it would make sense for legendary procs or artifact traits but for spells we originally had baseline? Why? It just doesn't make sense. We have so few abilities already as it is.
Buffs for prot warriors? Seriously? They need to cut the bs and remove the rage cost of shield block or make it a small token amount, and give us more base HP. I can tanks things on my freshly dinged beta Demon Hunter I can't on the warrior I've been gearing for weeks. Btw Ion Hozzikostas plays a shaman kiddos, in fact he is the same shaman who is the Guild Master of Elistist Jerks on Mal'ganis… I'd pretty sure the devs don't have it out for you.
Yea right... They remove every positive change for elemental shamans. Thats sad
