I love how you keep trying to make out like your some kind of trendsetter vyn. That timeline post you made made me lol. Must have taken a fair bit of time to put that together. :thumbsup:
I got the energy to write that timeline out of the sheer frustration. When I first started my shammy group and was told that I wouldn't be viable, or that shamans don't make good healers, or that shamans could not succeed in PvP without viable AoE. And then when Ellay got his PvP team rolling and people started flocking to shammies in droves, I had to deal with the second frustration of being considered what is now an OP "FOTM" setup.

It's not a FOTM to me.

I rolled the shammies cuz I had a 70 resto shammy already, and I needed a tank, so I swapped between warrior and paladin before choosing to keep the paladin after level 40. Trial and error. Research and determination.

I never want to see it reduced to "lawl feed me PvP/PvE epix kthxbai"

Go do a forum search for 6 months ago and look at the people who didn't just roll with the 4x warlock 1x priest "FOTM" group that was so rampant back then. They had an idea and regardless of criticism they took it and made it work. You don't see much creativity on these forums anymore in regards to class setups.


...ok I'm done with my serious hat now.
