They are looking at the Shaman now

[Dozer]

There are some basic, fundamental problems with the shaman in endgame PvE. We are, quite literally, the worst class in the raid enviornment. Four paladins can augment a raid better then eight shamans, do you realize that? Do you realize that the mobility and size of encounters in AQ pretty much makes totems useless?

In a raid, we are casting lesser healing wave 99% of the time, as chain heal really doesn't work consistently enough. And we are the worst healers in long fights in BWL; Druids and Priests get 30% normal mana regen while casting once they have 3 pieces of their Tier 2 set, and zounds more spirit..... Shamans get nothing.

Yes shaman healing is fine in non-raids..... because non-raid instances are cake.

And yes, improving stoneskin totem improves a shamans healing ability I do consider things like that.  :)

Stoneskin totem is useless. Completely useless. 27 less damage, on a warrior, ends up being about 6 damage per hit, since it is factored in before armor-damage reduction. I use stoneskin totem on ONE encounter, the panther boss in ZG. This is worth losing 63 strength or tremor totem? No.



Shaman talents are, by and large, recycled mage(elemental), warrior(enhancement), and druid(restoration) talents. Take away the talents that aren't recycled, useless, and broken, and we have about 8 talents left. And mages need a review before shamans? Don't make me laugh.
