Shamans Are BUSTED!!! Should You Play A Shaman In Classic WoW PvP??

[@wildmildew1]

Forgot to mention the ele casting sequence that is the most OP. 3 spells can hit within 1 global. Cast lightning bolt (2 sec cast, has travel time to target), then chain lightning (1.5 sec cast, instant damage), then earthshock (instant cast, instant damage). Pair with elemental mastery (gaurenteed crit) on the heaviest hitting spell, chain lighting, and its gonna be a 3k+ burst while wearing greens and blues. With better gear, buffs (AV warcry, battle standard, etc), and/or some lucky crits it can get into the 4k-5k range. Lasty and somewhat situational, if the ally are in melee range then drop a fire nova totem for extra burst. Nothing lives.

[@metricmoto]

So true man, fkn brutal!

[@GamingChild]

its a new style now, instead of wasting the time on the lightning bolt cast, u can use elemental mastery with ur shock at the same time to have them both guarantee crit and cost no mana. same damage as the lightning bolt combo but faster, so Ele mastery and Chain+shock double crit insta one shots

[@nathancasey7712]

[@GamingDualities]

u can also do lava totem, war stomp, chain, lightning, shock, ns bolt/basic attack...

[@tylerk9455]

Dude, I remember so well now in BC, all the multi-boxers were Shamans! When Magisters Terrace came out on Isle of Quel'Danas, I remember seeing a video of a Shaman Multiboxing and soloing it! That was like the craziest thing back then! Great video!

[@defaultdaniel]

I'd like to offer my insight before all you eager beavers make a shaman alt and quit at level 31. My main is a shaman on Herod. I raid as both ele and resto. As resto, you will find a guild no problem. Healing is unique and enjoyable on a shaman. People will also praise you for healing in Wpvp / Bgs. As for Ele, the burst is there. This is less important for pve, but for pvp, you better burst down your enemy before they get you. Even with frost shock and earthbind, you won't be kiting. You well get snared immediately and sit there getting pounded. This is especially the case against MS warriors and rogues. Also, all the neckbeards saying I BeAt 99% oF pEoPle aLL tHe TiMe, chances are you're not beating anyone without your 3min ele mastery cooldown. Sure it's possible, but it makes a BIG difference. What this guy said is correct: for PVE you will be middle of the pack at BEST (in a good guild), and for PVP, you're a support class that can blast half an enemy's HP away and then heal your teammate, drop windfury, and get back on DPS pressure. It's about doing a little bit of everything to be good.

[@classicsteve22]

And as a hybrid class, it seems the bursty support class is the way that ele was meant to be played. If people want to go all out damage in PvP as a caster then play mage or lock. Shamans are there to be part of a team, to optimize other classes and push the limits of the team as a cohesive whole.

[@nothankyou4859]

shaman main here, classic shaman is probably my favorite class i have ever rolled. i'm full resto yet i still perform really well in bgs as an aggressive support with purge and fs and totems. love how tanky you can get with mail and shields equipped. and then i can just swap gear and be a great healer in raids without respeccing. good shit

[@bakeraus]

no thank you I’m going to re-roll as a whammy shammy I reckon. I have been playing a mage and kind of bored atm.

[@GamingDualities]

just like Druids and Pally. hybrid classes are fun and have a lot of potential. sometimes you just don't know what to focus on. heal? dps? tanking?

[@bakshev]

Players say that shamans are broken, some say that they're even on the level of mages. Let that sink in.

[@glorytoukraine2760]

Shamans have a burst type of damage. In pve they can do a decent amount of damage in short fights, but in the long fight they run out of mana. However, the boss fights in classic today a very short which means shamans can last enough for the fight. Yes, they won't be top dps but still they can make a good amount of damage, and at the same time provide totems. I want to say something to all warriors. The reason why you are top dps on the horde side is shaman's WF, don't forget about that.

[@jordanschlansky4093]

But they are top dps on alliance side too. Go figure.

[@glorytoukraine2760]

@@jordanschlansky4093 warriors scale way better with all the buffs available. My point is that WF makes a huge impact on overall damage, and very often warriors forget about this fact.

[@Tweakerbythespeaker]

@@metalk1tt3n I meant Elemental Mastery, which can be batched to give you two free crits instead of one, and that's a lot stronger then natures swiftness. The combo you listed is pretty bad, here's why: CL + Flameshock = Now you're on a 1.5 sec GCD where your opponent can do whatever they want. Now you start casting a 2nd lightning bolt (another 2 seconds) and then it has to travel through the air... Essentially your opponent has 3.5-4 seconds of complete free action before this "combo" finishes. Giving them plenty of time to heal / CC you / ETC.

[@metalk1tt3n]

@@Tweakerbythespeaker elemental mastery is fun to use, but gl convincing your guildies or your raidleader to let you go full elemental and skipping any form of healing. Aswell as taking elemental mastery wont let you get another +5% crit for healing/lightning spells with tidal mastery since you simply wont have talents left. If you dont move in that time or use shocks/down ranked lightning bolt or trinkets/bombs that you have between your casts, its not the rotation thats bad.

[@illbean1337]

Shaman fanatic here. I main enhancement shaman, i'm leveling a second shaman to 60 and i'm twinking a lv 19 shaman. I played shaman for 2+ years on private servers and i played shaman for multiple years on retail. Regarding the video, you need to differentiate between viable and optimal a lot better, enhancment is definetly viable. No question about it. They don't go OOM as fast as u claim, that's just a common misconception. If u do things right u're actually doing rather good DPS even compared to the other classes, however, u do need to put more effort into it like u did mention. I myself have chosen the support route and is because of that dealing much less damage than what i could if i had gone optimal dmg route, but its the way i enjoy to play the game with my guild. Working on my Sulfuras now for PvP. Elemental is actually doing very well atm, much better than people expect, and that's thanks to the bossfights being much shorter because better gear is available and people are a lot better at the game. Resto PvP is basically elemental PvP but with healing gear. U did a good explanation of it. What u did fail to mention which would be a great sellingpoint in this progaganda video, Elemental Mastery works with spellbatching, allowing u to get a Chain Lightning + Earth Shock off with 100% crit on both spells consistently. There are videos of people doing 8k burst in this manner in classic.

Oh my gosh, please no. Guys, shamans are difficult to play. Gear is not optimized that well, and its difficult to get over other caster classes. Melee too! Some of the gear shown in the clips are not in game right now. Just, don't expect to level up and start 1 shotting people. It's not like a Rogue who can 100 to 0 you, completely naked. Gear is important and it's not easy to get. You'll lose most duels, and you get focused in bg's. It's important to note that shamans have no survivability (bubble, feign death, blink, vanish). Shamans excell in PvP, but, in order to do so; your teammates must also perform and react well. Because shamans have no survivability, your teammates performance is just as important as your own. It's a support class with burst to finish off priority targets. And for the love of god; pass shamans raid assistance in bg's! It's important that shamans can change group comps on the fly during a bg so that whoever is nearby can benefit from totems. No, shamans are not busted. They are difficult to play, don't have access to optimized gear, are not the best in 1v1, are reliant on teammates around them to perform well in bgs, and have no escape. In a world of one shots, a 10 second silence is busted, end of story.

Naquan Jefferson against rogues you dont ever cast, you just kill them with Fire Nova Totem, Lightning Shield and Shock spam (plus random white damage), and if you really need it you can use Nature Switness to fully heal or kill them with Chain Lighting if they are low. Against warrior it’s similar but it’s much easier to sneak in a Chain Lightning if you fakecast bait them, then they can’t win.

[@ExecutusGaming]

All this shaman pvp and you dont't use any of my clips :(

[@zamorak666avesatanas8]

[@thatoneguyffs]

Why do you have 123 strength you should put all you strength into spirit for that mana regeneration

[@alcocer94]

He went back to his speech pattern thing

[@fredriksvard2603]

alcocer94 busted speech pattern

[@BuckwheatPlatypus]

Can I get some video with my ads?

[@sadtoast6122]

Dude I played a shaman during BC back in the day I had full cloth plus spell damage gear and I would destroy lol and if you tried to hit me I macro full mail armour and shield lol

[@matthewhumphrey496]

I went cow just to trinket stun aoe stomp stun one shot rogues.

[@gtawrecking7021]

nice to see there are not only orcs and undead around

[@DriftNick]

Why trinket a stun when you just resist it because you are an orc.

[@naquan59]

@@DriftNick He means use Zandalarian Hero Charm cast war stomp then chain lighting then shock then died rogue. Orc is kinda a rng bet only 25% chance to res stuns it's a dice roll that is not in you fever I play a orc warlock and I don't get stun res as much as you think. WAR stomp is guaranteed AOE Stun it give you time to cast chain lighting or a heal or just get away. Shaman have no good defend against melee once their already on them. IF you res a rogue's stun or wars charge Cool, but their still in your face and they can still kick your casts and make pushback. war stomp lets you make plays to counter.

[@leroyjenkins9649]

Never said shaman were weak. Paladin and shaman are op. Give it phase 5

[@panteraowns2515]

Don't enhancement shamans get a ball to win Fury I almost want to say that we have a couple in our melee groups to help with DPS

[@clintjames7313]

pantera owns you should only use shamans for raid healing and totem twisting

[@kyleromus6845]

I still remember all the cry's of "nerf shaman!"

[@egotripical]

Punkrat: Class is BROKEN! Also Punkrat: Class does not perform well in PVE If the class doesn't excel in both, how you dare label it broken? Sensationalism!

[@egotripical]

@@duanehean3364 No it doesn't. It says Shamans are BROKEN exclamation exclamation exclamation and with a new sentence in the title then poses a question weather to play shaman pvp. The thumb nail which sparked my interest only says "Shamans are BUSTED". No where AT ALL does it say "Shamans are broken in PVP" on the click bait. Reading comprehension is a basic skill. Fact is if it doesn't excel at both it's not broken it's niche, not to be confused with nerfed.

[@egotripical]

For instance Mage and Priest are broken cause they excel at everything with multiple specs.

[@egotripical]

Also at this point considering the demand for authenticity. Broken would be that the class does not preform as it did in the original classic. "Shamans are OP in PVP!!! Should you play one?"

[@metalicana5894]

Enhancement forever!

[@Ocshredder714]

You want Shamans...? Okay

[@coldcrush5921]

Great now we'll have a shit ton of shamans

[@tehalexy]

sham means horde, horde means 30+min BG waiting queue so no ... dont plan sham :D

[@TemplarDrakova]

Gonna be 50% elemental shaman premades eventually lol

[@jollyscarecrow]

Loved my Shaman till Blizzard broke it so i dont even have totem timers :/ maybe its fixed now... worth checking i guess

[@Theeddiewilliams]

there is a way around it, slightly long winded, but easy enough, google it!

[@Theeddiewilliams]

@gardakan936 ha ok proper curcial

[@manuzark]

There is an addon named totem timers fixer or something like that to fix the addon

[@itsButeii]

THATS MY GUILD AT 2:20!!!! :D

[@TheWatcherWatching]

Miss my shaman from vanilla 😭 Pvp'd to rank 14 full enhancement and even raided in my high warlord set.. Never went resto and only used ele spec in wrath upto pandaria. Sadly life took over and stopped in 2009. Classic is making me want to come back and hit rank 14 again... But ain't got the time 😭😭😭

[@brodelnaz]

Doubt it

[@TheWatcherWatching]

@@brodelnaz doubt what?

[@neverstoppulling5169]

Enhancement and elemental shamans are more than welcome in raids from what I’ve seen. Most raids struggle to get more than 1-2 shamans at most so even if you’re meme spec I think you can get in any raids

[@Colaschnittchen]

NeverStopPulling same for paladin

[@wildmildew1]

agreed. even an under performing shaman has amazing totems that cannot be underestimated or ignored

[@johwwa]

I really don’t understand why there isn’t many shamans, it’s the best horde class lol

[@Colaschnittchen]

same for pala its realy slow in terms of leveling and you can do only heal in more progress oriented raids

[@naquan59]

​@@johwwa Nowaday most people don't want to be force into a support role most of time.

[@whatster8753]

Prot warrior is where it’s at

[@Vihara2]

I love my shaman, but our complete lack of cc and defensive cds or abilities makes my class an easy zerg kill, i often get targeted first and blown out in seconds in a rather helpless manner, even in team play, it aint easy...

[@thomasallanah1417]

we are not a front line class in pvp...ele snipes and enhance we dive into the backlines as disruption and one shot priest healers...it's all about tactics and strategy...

[@MS-ru1wm]

Love your vids, and thanks for the ever continuing content

[@ear322]

I like how in all the AB videos the horde was losing

[@wildmildew1]

private server, horde v horde. Think horde was winning too

[@nationlessnationalist]
