Shaman way OP?Follow
probably our only OP thing might be purge. It takes away two buffs for very low mana with no cast time or cooldown... although it takes away from our offense so the only time i use it in fights is if a mage shields or something.

This kinda reminds me of the shaman 60 HWL with ragnaros hammer poping 500 crits on plate paladin back in o'l lvl60 days.
i think your numbers are off, Hand of Ragnaros paired with a decent equipped shaman did way more than 500dmg to a platedewd...back in the days...

I've never had a problem out DPSing a shaman on my lock or on my rogue .... thats from lvl 17 to lvl 65 today :-/ .... could be because ppl i've grp'd with didn't know how to play their class tho or something I dunno. I'm currently leveling a shaman now tho and love it ... just hate the starting from scratch thing.
huntards are OP ;p

shaman is not OP..
lets see.. shaman can
Self Rez
Walk on Water
Heal
cure disease and poisons
last person that have done those were jesus himself..
on a serious note. I guess any class in good gear and played well can be considered OP by others

seeing as i'm a new shammy i'm going to give a outside looking in persepective.
On my raid mage (arcane/fire.. 900 damage unbuffed) a shammy in heroics that si well gear'd will usually kill me in DPS. The reason is is that while I'm stacking scorch, sheep/resheep, and spinning up that first fireball.. the shammy has been tearing down the mob. It's alot better in Kara and Gruuls where there's long boss fights. I've watched myself be 6% below the sham at the start of Maiden and then 2% up at the end. At higher raids shams start to really lack. When everyone has T5 and up the mages, spriest, locks and even rogue will start to deal way more damage.
In PvP even as fire with raid gear I usually own a shammy with around the same gear... and even in some PvP gear. A CS with a ap-pom-pyro for 5k will have them re-thinking their strat. But I see that with alot of range vs. sham battles. If we can stay away from your totems then your pretty screwed. (However.. when you guys drop your totems in a tower in AV and guard it... I hate you).
Every class has is OP moments in the game. Some in different situations, some at different levels. From what I've seen shams shine from lvl 50 till around late endgame. Atleast that was when I've had the hardest time out DPSing/killing them as a mage/war/lock.

lulz ap pyro mage BAHAHAHAHHAHA your 5k will do all of half my hp in arena gear, and since you already wasted your CS I will just heal up and proceed to make you feel the hurt that is LITNINBAWLT RAWWWWWWWWWWWWR
but yeah 3 min mage is the worst thing in existence frost is the way to go
and yeah I also have 850 nature dmg in dps gear and 34% crit and I only have exceptionally geared players beating me in the meters, for example I was routinely 4th or 5th when I was in a TK/SSC guild with only a couple pieces of kara gear and my crafted and heroic pieces
also on an enhancement note a couple months ago when I got bored and specced enhance and got to 1 shot someone :D I was in a group with a warrior and I had battle shout and my str totem down and was at 2300 ap as my hourglass had just procced and I had my core of arkelos going for theextra 200 and I wandered over to this warlock after I picked up zerking and did the old SS+ES combo and he fell over dead :D it turned out that I had a 1.4k crit on my stormstrike followed by a 800 hit then a 2.3k WF HIT then a 4.3k WF crit followed by a 1.3k ES crit....
so he died :D
then I got a wtf dude post on my server forum. It made me very happy in the pants...
but the thing is I can get much more constant rape pvping as elemental since I had a normal crit for 3400 pre patch... and I haven't played since the elemental nerf since I am worried for what has happened to my character I have like 60 days played on :( and if I ran and grabbed zerking I could be chainin for over4k as well as normal lit bolts :D
it is sexy ****
