Blizzard Says Shaman Talents May Be Revisited Early Next Year
Blizzard responded to the Shaman Classic Discord shutdown and said Shaman talents could get a revisit in early next year, via a patch. Tuning for Enhancement and Elemental is also being watched.
Blizzard has responded to the Shaman Classic Discord shutdown, which happened shortly before the launch of WoW: Forever. The community had protested how the developers are approaching all Shaman specializations in the new game.
In a recent interview with Crix, Kris Zierhut said some of the complaints are fair, while others come from players who wanted an improved Ghost Wolf. He said the team is paying close attention to Enhancement, which he feels is being pushed toward too much spell power gear. Enhancement Shamans, in his view, should be able to wear Strength, Intellect, and Spell Power, much like Retribution Paladins, rather than being pulled into cloth. Elemental is also being watched closely, and he admitted that the late change to Lava Burst and the stronger Chain Lightning could have used more refinement.
Zierhut said he would not be surprised if Shaman talents are revisited early next year, though not before then, and that any change would come through a patch. Until then, the team plans to tune Shamans once raid data comes in. Druid talents are also on the list for changes in the same window.
