Well.. it's a bit different now than what it was in TBC. I play the classic 4x elemental shaman, and we still dominate hugely in BGs.

The amount of hurt I can put out against a group of 5-10 enemies in a BG while still not dying, it's ridiculous. Lava burst and CL cooldown reduction gave us a very high killing capacity, as well as frequency against low-geared people.

And.. the elemental mastery change introduced something even more insane - when you pop both heroism and elemental mastery.. your killing capacity skyrockets and you can kill 1-2 people per second, it's truly magnificent. I have even started to challenge myself in how quickly I can wipe out groups of people. It has become somewhat of a sport to completely annhilate 10+ people that spawn at an EOTS tower.



BUT.. If you are aiming to do arenas well, you are in for a long and tough journey. Your gear needs to be top-notch and highly defensive or you will get stomped even by scrubs with no coordination.
