Lately the shamans are being constantly nerfed. I do understand why, it just sucks. Shamans are one of the classes that can solo the best. I remember at lower levels I could take on 3 mobs that were all 3 levels higher than me. Also dont underestimate the shamans healing power. Although maybe not as efficiant as a druid/priest, but still able to be a main healer in raid instances. Shamans are also pretty decent melee, not as good dps as rogues but about the same a warrior. Take both those, add in the power of shocks, and its over, shaman are hands down the best rounded class in WoW. Alot of the nerfs came from alliance crying on all the beta boards that shaman are overpowered. There was also alot of complaint about the walk on water spell and how it was cheap. At level 55 I was able to beat a 60 rogue, druid, mage, warlock, and priest all in duels against the alliance. Now Ill have to admit, I was surprised to see this. Shaman are very powerful and as much as it sucks, they needed a nerf.
