Shamans in MoP?

[Exalt]

Any good?
Will they be able to beat a hunter?

 

[Stamm]

It beats hunter now if played right. Ele shams in Mop get +10 yard range (really stupid this wasn't implemented before now) so they can rofl stomp hunters. I suggest you go to wowhead/mists and use the talent calculator to see for yourself.

Resto gets the only p2p magic dispell, at the cost of earth shield
The stone bulwark bubble looks nice, igw, and ele is the only hybrid caster spec that keeps +50% crit dmg, doing double damage on crits

I was thinking more along the lines as Enhancement Shamans. But does shifting into ghost wolf take away movement affects like Concussive Shot?

It doesn't remove snares, but you can never go below 100% speed in ghost wolf.

 

[Exalt]

so it temporarily removes it? and they run at 100% rather than 130%?

 

[Shft]

yep, basically all shaman specs will be in a better place in MoP

Only droods get snare/(&roots in mop)removal on shifting, and atm, shammys cant be snared below 100%, but i believe that's a minor glyph in mop

While in ghost wolf, you can never be below 100% movement speed. The effects are still there, they just don't slow you below 100%.

But looks like thats going to be a major glyph in mop, owell.

 

[Exalt]

so basically Enhance Shammy's will get kited by hunters because of there disengage and snare

Hunters can be dodged in mop, including the snare's

 

[Exalt]

yeah but whats the chances of a shammy dodging a hunter.

 

[Stamm]

hunter's miss chance+shaman's (dodge+parry chances)- any random expertise hunter may have.

 

[potatoez]

Shammies will undoubtedly be the best healers in MOP. They are already 2nd best, but in MOP they will truely shine. I am slowly making one...
