Quote:I'm glad to see that some understand what I've seen with elemental shaman for a while. It's not just about the shaman's numbers. It's also about the numbers of the people in the group. Shaman make groups better. How much better is partly skill on the shaman's part, and also partly up to the raidleader to use them in a complimentary way, and not just stick them in a corner alone, and then say they're not good enough on their own.
No, my elemental shaman won't top the DPS meters against well-geared mages and rogues, etc. But I may *help* them top the meters while adding quite a bit of my own damage, and tossing some heals while I'm at it. It really depends on the mindset of the players you're with.
This would be the point/purpose of a hybrid, would it not? Not the best at anything, but very flexible and useful in a variety of roles that the 'pure' classes aren't.
