The Truth About Paladin Talents

Shamans aren't boring.

What level is your Shaman?

46. I level slowly but I don't get bored, and I make lots of money. 125g on him right now.

Oh, you haven't experienced endgame on him is why.

At level 50 or so, your soloing slows down to near-Paladin speed. Whack, whack, whack, and pray for a few windfury procs. If you excessively Shock, you'll drink after every mob.

In endgame instancing, you drop totems and add a very minor amount of DPS, while keeping a mana reserve for healing, in case shit goes down.

In Molten Core, it's even worse. You don't shock, and you rarely Melee. You're a gimped healbot with totems.

This is why I have a 60 Mage now, too.

Actually, I've played on my brother's shaman plenty. Kojiroh on Mal'Ganis, probably the top shaman on his server. I enjoyed it.

Be happy Volls, all I am is a cleanse/buff bot, in end game instances. Such and awesome "melee hybrid" eh ? And you are complaining about Shamans ? For the love of God I would love to be able to control my damage, not just pray for my SoC to proc. I am not saying the game is bad, I am just saying Blizzard are idiots for ruining my beloved Paladin class. I loved Paladin in D2, and then in WoW I become a Cleric. Go figure.

Just play another class until the Paladin suits your playstyle. I was originally a rogue but didn't like it much and changed to a mage and haven't looked back since. Sure, there's bugs and issues with the class but it's still fairly solid. I may start my rogue up again sometime, but I dunno.

Oh, you're one of the goobers that thinks Shaman is Easy Mode.

Shamans PvE much the same as Paladins do levels 50+. Sure, we can add shocks to take down a mob faster, but the downtime isn't really worth it.

If we get jumped drinking or at low mana, we're screwed. So, we have to PvE JUST like a Paladin. Whack away and pray for Windfury to proc. They also have *0* CC and next to nothing for defensive abilities, so we have difficulty taking multiple baddies.

Shamans are very similar in 40-man instances to a Paladin, except we lack Cleanse. We buff our party with totems and heal. Most raids in MC don't even really bother to have Shamans melee.


To be honest, I enjoy just about every other class available to the Horde more than my Shaman.

So, Blizzard sucks at creating "good at everything, but great at nothing characters" such as Paladin's and Shaman's ? But with your talents are you able to specialize in something ? Because with the Holy and Retribution trees on Paladin, you can't specialize. You have damage spell at bottom of Holy tree and Buff spell at bottom of Retribution tree, it's these little things that have made Paladin retardly made. And the fact that every single patch Paladin has been nerfed, not 1.06 ( we didn't get nerfed, but we didn't get a buff, we got some bug fixes that only affected other people ( the ones that blizzard only seems to fix ) ) makes you want to play a Paladin doesn't it ? And no, I AM NOT going to reroll, just think of all the money I've wasted playing this game, and I am supposed to just restart ? I'd rather not.
