Wow, that's a huge nerf to warriors. Pretty big hotfixes. I wonder if enhancement is on their radar or if it's fine for now since it's such a rare spec (plus lots of classes have sick 3-minute burst)

I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you are saying here. Is it that some people in your guild tested enh on the PTR and found them overpowered still or??
was just saying the hole of the ptr when i was on it last patch they was rolling pemade ech sham in full gear there very op. in the cool down from they can take down players fast.
just seems a lot of players where rolling them.
and blizzard op class = nulfbat
I doubt it. I think solo, the crazy 3-minute burst window of enhancement shaman isn't really out of line at all compared to what other classes are capable of doing. I see them occasionally in BGs and although it's high burst they aren't going around 1-2 shotting people, which mages, spriests, and warriors are still doing more often and more consistently than enhancement. A 150-200k burst from an enhance during Ascendance doesn't one shot anything and that's about the extent of what you can get out of that window, maybe a second stormbolt and earth shock several seconds later if you haven't already been CC'd, killed, or your target healed back. They aren't really shining as the one shot spec until you have 4 of them
It's under control seeing how easily shaman are CC'd and shut down anyway, unlike some of the immunities provided during other classes' burst windows.
If anything they will give enha/ele some sort of compensation for them no longer being able to use totems during blankets. Be that direct nerfs to blankets or a direct buff to shamans remains speculation. This is more or less what GC twittered. I don't think they will buff the enhancement shaman damage since they are really good in pve atm, just below the top specs (contrary to ele). But they might rework (shift around) some of the damage away from ascendance. Currently as ele (and also enhance) such a massive amount of your dps is decided during your ascendance in pve, and if you get any form of cc from a boss you are kinda fucked. That's my expectation for 5.2 at least.
Everything that is fun in life is either bad for your health, immoral or illegal!
Oh ok, yeah if it's popular then nerf is inc.
