Elemental Shaman PVP LOL

[Fat Tire]

Well I wish LvB didnt have an CD. ;p

Yeah that'd be something else.. 8k lava burst spam on heroism. I can hear the choirs of QQ.

I wish our shocks were not tied to the same cooldown. If we could earthshock and frost shock on a different cooldown that would help. We have no way to escape, heal, or attack. Besides our shock we are made to stand and cast. We cant run and throw dots, or run and launch instant cast spells. Ghost wolf has been nerfed by allowing sap, dispell and not removing snares. If I have a chance to run in ghost wolf to get some distance I always get snared, dispelled or caught up by the attacker some how. Thunderstorm seems to knock people back such a small distance they can still be in melee range. Most of the time it doesnt even knock them back. If you have a shaman now just work on gearing them up with the best you can get. If they fix it later great. If not reroll to a faceroll class.

Honestly i think its actually fun to go ahead and do enhancement. I keep all enhancement gear that is handed to me and every once and a while i will switch to go 3x enhancement amd rpflstomp people.
Melee is hard in pvp but nonetheless, they have the edge of elemental shamans right now. I can say i am a professional at the pvp considering ive done massive amounts of pvp on my 3 rouges.

Try gearing yourself up with some enhancement gear and have a blast SS people to 0 hp.

shaman melee is good, not as good as 3x ambush killing people, but.. still good.

Im not playing Shamens so im as far from an expert as possible, but to me it seems rather "fair" that you should be pwned if you have a class which stands still the most of the game.

If I where a mage, I would AOE the shamen group to death (until they spot me and instant kill me hehe).

I played my mage PVP prior to the 3.0 patch and found it challenging. There where other races better at pvp back then, and I guess its the same with shamens now?

Atleast, now the mages rule.... so now everyone complains in the mage forum that they need a nerf!

What needs a nerf is the Fear talents... I HATE getting feared with my 5 boomkins

I'm having a sever problem with arena. I'm by no means an expert at all.

Season 4 I think I got 1742 as highest 5v5 rating.

In S5 everything kills me, or my priest in less than 3 hits, I'm roughly around 16K hp, 1550 spelldmg and
about 320 resilience. I have no problem to lose, or suck but atm I've fought about 30 games and
I've not even been close to winning one single game. Clearly I must be doing something severely
wrong cause this is truly odd.

(I play with a priest atm)

Tranzic,

try this:

1. Focus based nukes.
2. Round robin TS combined with round robin fire nova.
3. Fear bombs from your priest.

You might be playing too defensive in which case "320" resilience is way too low. You might get away with that if you play aggressive and have good PvE Gear. You will see a difference with 600-700 resilience or more. I personally have been taking a break to see what comes in the patch for shamans and or any changes to burst in pvp. GC comments as of late are really frustrating.

I'm over 600 resil and still die quickly. I dont notice anything different. The round robin nova totems sounds nice. I am going to make a macro for that today and see how it does. In pvp bg's there is so much aoe I usually get off 1 maybe 2 attacks and then I am chain healing cause my entire team is going down fast.
