"Talk about frustrating. Between all the aoe knockbacks interrupts and other bs I cant get a heal off to save my life. QQ"

YES! This is an issue that is largely undiscussed I believe.. so many classes have aoe interrupts/knockbacks/stuns now that the healing classes with instant spells are much better suited for PVP.

The major issue with shaman right now is that we lack any survivability while under siege, due to not having any instant heals whatsoever.
4x healing stream helps a bit, but it's far from sufficient for surviving heavy aoe blended with knockbacks and aoe stuns and aoe silences.


Personally I think they should make earth shield a trainable spell, and replace the talent with something more interesting.
You get my vote on Trained Spell Earth Shield!

I think things will really balance at 80. This lava burst better live up to all the hype and talent points!

My hope is that a EM + Chain Lightning + Lava Burst will be enough to take down a target. This does make us more predictable in that Flame shock will need to be up. But in all honest at the high end, the other teams know who I need to kill to win. Looking forward to a buff on HPs so I'm not getting 2 shotted by 2 players...but then again I can accept being one shotted by four

I think it shows how broken arena is at 70 when the game is balanced at 80. Its so unbalanced we can't even heal through damage with a 5 healer set up. Wishing for more balanced days ahead.
People got 2 shotted at lvl 60, then we got a HP buff and people can get 2 shotted at lvl 70. We are going to get a HP buff on the way to 80, people will still get 2 shotted...
