Fell Why didn't your tank pull them off you? Why didn't your enchanter or bard mez them? Why didn't the wizard (or any other root class) root them? Why didn't the OTHER shaman in your group (you said you had one) heal you? Most of all, why'd you cast a spell that prevents you from being healed in the midst of a bad pull where you're certainly going to draw aggro? That's literally insane.
Respectfully, you miss the point of the game. When you have a bad pull in what was either a horribly imbalanced group, or one where half the players were AFK, then you are supposed to die. That's what meaningful danger means.
Fell it will help me if you tell me the level of the Shaman you play. Respectfully. I’m just curious. I’m assuming you’re a high lvl and have played the class at least 100-200 hours at high lvls doing end game shit?
NO ONE ANSWERED MY QUESTION AS TO WHAT LVL THEIR SHAMAN IS. It helps me take people’s comments more seriously.
Fell, I died FAST. I was working with consume pack (because I am testing it), because that is what the devs gave us. Are you aware that there is a 2 min debuf (80% less healing coming in) on that spell that is refreshed every time you use it? And that the timer on consume pack is 8 seconds? So I’m using it more than once every 2 min. Which means I constantly cannot be healed. As long as I am using that spell I cannot be healed. It blocks 80% of any heal that comes my way. Which is basically almost all the heal.
So, as a healer that very often gains agro through healing, or trying to root something etc, especially when things go bad and multiple people need healing, I drew agro. The tank was dealing with other shit. This doesn’t mean i should die no matter what because i used a spell they gave me that’s supposed to be the CORE of my class’ identity. We should still be given the option to PLAY WELL and persevere if everyone is doing shit well to recover no? I should be able to, first and foremost, heal myself so I don’t die no? So basically what has been shown to me over and over is Consume Pack is just way too risky in a group. I will never use it in a group. The spell is shit honestly. It’s average at best up until something goes wrong and then you just die.
Fell, we had a SK, and Ranger, and Druid, a Paladin, and two Shamans in the group. You don’t think we have capability of surviving a bad pull if we all pull together? No one was afk. Everyone was doing something. Dude, I died so fast. I’m not saying we would have survived anyways, but I died so quick and had no options of my own. That’s the point I am trying to make. They have set me up with a spell that makes me DIE FAST in dire situations. That’s good???? I would have had just enough time to heal myself but consume pack…..
And this is just one of many things wrong with the class.
Why am I a “moderate” dps class now???? No Shaman in the history of Shamans asked for this! And before you quote me on this and say we are not, I have been asked multiple times now to dps because we have high dps dots. They gave this to us! We were fine before with stacking multiple deseases of the same spell line if we wanted to solo or add some dps. But this took multiple spells which wasn’t efficient, not even close. But we were fine with that. No one asked to remove this. Most of you reading this won’t even know wtf I am talking about. Now groups are asking me to dps. What????
Why do buffs last only 35 min? Wtf is that? That’s insanity!
Why is consume such shit now? We never had infinite mana to begin with!
What is something cool that replaced the pet that we enjoy and have fun with?? I’m still waiting!

I am going to start drawing a cartoon with a bunch of blue Shamans and call it THE NERFS!!!
