Maybe something like this is what elemental shammies need?

I was thinking about solo elemental shammies and how tough it must be to play them in PvP.
Now.. enhancement has a mechanic that eventually will make your next offensive spell cast an instant.

What if elemental needs something like this, but in a defensive fashion? Like this:

Every time you are critically hit, the casting time of your next healing spell is reduced by 0.5 seconds. This effect stacks up to 4 times.

Anti-polymorph ghost wolf form.

Something like that is what I hope for tbh. Would solve arena viability problems quite a bit. We'll always be a defensive playstyle in PvP, true. But I don't think making a heal instant makes much difference. The ability to kite might on a consistant bases however.

Id have to agree with Kaynin on this. If we are getting beaten on in arena we need a way to get away rather than trying to walk away healing ourselves.

I could agree that maybe ench shamans could need it but there is no need for elemental/resto.

You got 3 ways of avoiding this:

1.Los and poly is quite easy to los
2.Earth Shock
3.Grounding totem

In addition your team mate or mates atleast have 1 way to interrupt it, so i disagree that poly is a problem to a elemental shaman. So i dont see why solo boxing shamans should have any need for this at all im afraid.

Now the main problem is beeing focused by meele, and the only thing you can do is thunderstorm and flamshock/earth shock/frost shock. Not nearly enough to kill a rogue/retadin/warrior/feral druid.

The idea was actually to make ghost wolf break snares in the launch of WOTLK but blizzard went away from this due to it was "To close to the druids core talent shapeshifting" I do assume they feel the same way about ghost wolf breaking poly.

I totaly agree with you that a self heal wont fix anything since our worst enemy is rogue who already apply wound poison.

I just want more passive stuff, the biggest thing I'd like and Blizz mentioned it as one thing their looking into is more HP for Shamans. It'd be nice if I had the same base HP as a plate wearing class

You guys think elemental shamans need more tools? Lol.

Elemental shaman have to be the worst pvp class. If anyone doesnt agree I suggest they log in 1 shaman and try to pvp. Too many classes can kill you 100-0% without any ability to flee or heal.

[magwo]

Aye, solo shammies really got it hard in WOTLK with all the added interrupt effects.

[Gares]

That and with the additions of DK's they got spanked so hard its not even funny.

Were talking singel boxing here not multiboxing mainly.
