Blue post on lava burst and lightning damage

Oh, also I didn't spec for elemental oath on the shaman, so the dps is likely on the low side.

Great!

So to recap

level 70 2300 dps
level 72 2200 dps

level 80 1650 dps

Exactly ;-)

No reason to mention the fact that one is solo, one is raid buffed, one test is done on a training dummy and another is on a fully debuffed raid boss, gear differences, pvp spec gear vs. pve spec gear, sequence differences, different specs and the fact that the same measurement tools may not have been used ;-)

You can NOT balance classes based on raid buff/debuff situations. All dps classes should be balanced standalone, and any auras/debuffs gained through cross-class synergy should be looked at as bonus dmg. This is my opinion, you can't force people to be grouped with certain other classes just to be equal.

I am not horribly worried about this situation as I'm sure it will be remedied somehow, but as a 5boxer shaman and avid PVP addict I have a right to be concerned.
