That was nearly the worst duel he's ever fought. The only one worse was when I caught him Stealthed with an Earthbind. I trashed him fast on that one.

Slim, not all fights are easy for a Shaman. Rogues are about the toughest fight for one. Like most PvP, whoever is caught by surprise loses.

Bryan's not using the 'I Win' stunlock Rogue build. He's beaten me once or twice, and quite a few times I had to burn my 'Oh shit!' button.

Once we're out of Mana, we're toast. Yes, we can melee, but all of our utilities are GONE. We become a neutered Warrior when we're OOM, and it gets you killed.

Yes, your Mage will always have a hard time with me. Shamans have a few tools that help lock-down spellcasters. Earth shock is useful (but nothing like Kick), and our Grounding Totem has a decent cooldown.
