Here we go again..

I can totally sympathize with him. I got my shaman to 90 last week, excited about new totem mechanics and ascendance. I'm only half honor geared, half crafted set, but I can extrapolate what I know to what they would be like fully geared, and it doesn't look promising (and Nikita confirms it).

They each almost get globaled by any of: ret paladin, warrior, shadow priest, mage. Killed through 4x healing tides too, no problem. My experience in BGs so far is blowing up people requires either ascendance + ele mastery and like 500 lava bursts, or 4x ele blast + 4x lvb + a few dozen lightning tickles to finish them off. The worst part is I have to use SWG because they actually have sufficient time to run from me when I pop ascendance.

I hadn't boxed in wotlk, and they were squishy and easily manipulated back then, but at least they blew stuff up. Now they can't even do that, not even close.

And how about, one shadow priest exhausting all of your tremor totems. Love that.

Things may get better, but I saved energy (<10 hours played on my 90s) so I could work on my next (melee) team.
