My problem with the fist thing is that it doesn't actually fix the issue.

Look at Orc shaman. Where are the darn axes?! Seriously, I see DPS swords and daggers all over the loot tables. Tell me why it is okay to cater TWO weapons to pretty much one clasee (Rogues) but doing it for shaman is somehow seen as a bad thing? Maces and fists are shared, so while Shaman get ZERO weapons tailored to them, Rogues get two and they dilute the shaman pool since there are a bunch of maces and fist weapons (off hands or 1-handed) that are fast as heck.

Acting like they want to not gimp people while ignoring the fact that it is okay to tailor to Rogues seems pretty insulting to me.


Here's an even funnier thing to look at. They had 20 levels to fix it but we Shaman are still sitting with their highest base stat being SPIRIT. That stat that does absolutely nothing is higher than anything else on them. Exactly why did they not fix this when they were trying to fix it so enhance was a good melee spec? Putting the huge amount of wasted points in this stat towards stamina along with some small gains to Int, Agi, and Str would have gone a long way towards fixing the classes suvivability.

The Q&A didn't really make me think they are serious about fixing the class. They told Druids they were working on forms 3 years ago. Waiting on the totem pole better not take as long. I'll be playing Diablo 3 or some other game by then.
