Earth Shock is a spell that has a huge amount of burst damage and chained with a Stormstrike debuff and or the proper elemental combat additions it can hit for 2000 plus.

I play a pally and a shammy, they are pretty equil. Shammy = totems pallies = shield and pallys CAN NOT BUBLE HEARTH UNTIL IN THERE 40s people who do bubble hearth i think are just noobs. paladins suck at tanking and same with shaman sure paladins have rightous fury, shaman have rockbiter THEY BOTH INCREASE THREAT thats it niether have taunts like the warrior. people hate paladins because they are meant for defense and survivability they cant do damage shaman can do alot of damage but have less armor so really Shaman are offensive and paladins defensive I have beaten paladins and shamans, its all about equipment and how good you are now i dont have time to sit here and argue, hope this post settles it....

Pallys are not overpowered and neither are shamans. They are both equally balanced classes as are all the others. Pallys that complain about frost shock are noobs, you have both BoF and cleanse for a reason. Shamans complaining about pallys bubbling and healing can just transform into ghost wolf form, run away, and then heal, returning to combat later. True, there is no way to stop a pally from bubble-hearthing, but so what? You lose one HK every hour? There isn't even a reason to be complaining about pallys as tanks. Only noob pallys try to tank in anything more than SM. Both shamans and pallys can do quite a bit of damage, regardless of what people say about pallys being strictly defense and survivability. Even when I'm wearing my healing gear which is just a bunch of +healing, I can crit for 1200 with The Unstoppable Force, which really isn't that good of a weapon and my judgements can crit for 700, over 1000 on a stunned target using judgement of command. Shamans are more of a caster type than paladins, so they hit harder with their spells and they have a longer range too. I've never seen a shammy melee me for more than a 600 damage crit. So, really, neither class should be complaining about the other being overpowered.

Enhancement Shamans are imbalanced. Dot.

I wouldn't be surprised if indeed they wouldn't get a nerf because blizzard employees play them the whole time.

Paladins on the contrary are just fine. Their shield is a valuable thing, though you should be able to stun them or daze them when they use shield. And Hammer's stun is ok, I mean we don't start whining about concussion blow from a defensive warrior.. Though 6 seconds is alot... Magically I've defeaten a lvl 60 healadin being a lvl 53 hunter. Though I must say I used a Major Healing Potion (1000-1700)... But then again he used everything he had, including the Hammer and Shield. Most people will call me noob for using a pot, think of it as if it were a trinket.

For Shammys, I dunno they will friggen purge anything you have and just wait for windfury to proc. I have to say elemental shammys make an interesting fight, though they wear mail and shields, they don't have magic shields.. Frost Shock is hella annoying though, but it's more annoying when the Enhancement Shammy will jump on ya that way...

Question it.. Earth Shock though is just fine. Awesome skill, fair skill.

Whats the deal Pallys and Shamans BOTH use shields so you all think that pally shields, shamans totoms THEY CAN BOTH USE SHIELDS! they can both heal but the pally has better deffence and better healing and better armor BUT the shaman can go faster use awsome totoms still heal some still has some deffence and they are very awsome

Comment by Thottbot

i dunno what u guys think, but a shamy cant use shields :P duh!

Comment by Allakhazam

All of the Earth Shock spells are great and should be used as soon as possible against NPC casters. Esp at lower levels that will put the NPC into melee attack and they will rarely revert to using their magic. This essentially makes them a much lower lvl MOB. PCs will, of course, begin to cast again :-))

Always keep a low rank ES for mana effecientcy. If you're running low on mana and need to interupt that mage's pyroblast, you can do so without draining yourself. =)
