So we will officially be the only class in the game without a stun, am i right?
This might just be the main reason we aren't so feared in pvp

Do you guys think this is fair?

Wolves still stun. So, technically, no.

Where is the priest stun?

Everyone on the forums thinks it's ok because elemental is doing well in wizard cleave comps, but they fail to realise that shamans will still have their burst, and that the comp is pretty much being killed off in the coming patch because of the nerf to destruction.

Nerfing our already abysmal control options doesn't nerf our above average burst, it just makes the spec one-dimensional and limits our pvp viability to the burst comps that are being destroyed.

That barely even counts...you can only use it once every 3 minutes and its only a 2 second stun..and it's from your wolves, not the shaman.

But I get your point technically we do have a (near useless) stun

You don't need a stun, just look at balance druids.

I'm talking about the class, feral has tons of stuns.
And Doesn't starfire have a chance to stun?

Shadow has spells that have a chance to stun.

In that case DK's don't have a stun either.

The talent that did this was removed.

Not anymore, no. Horror is kind of like a stun though. I'd put that about on par with Wolves stun.

Go back to the general forums if you want to #*%!@ about class balance and being a shaman without understanding the game.

Warriors can stun people with their maces, or so I've heard. Some even have a special weapon that stuns people.

The fact remains. Elemental depend on the stun currently to make them viable at all outside of just using their burst. Why hurt the design of the spec so much when It doesn't even address the complaints by players about our supposed burst imbalance?

Disc priests also have a chance to resist stuns.

The class is built around RNG and crazy burst. Elemental has one of the best interrupts in the game, a snare, and a root already. Giving that spec a stun (a real one, not 2 seconds from Fire Nova) would make them waaaaay overpowered.

When it's working well, everything in this game is a tradeoff. If you want a stun, you'd have to give up a few things and one of them would probably be that burst damage.

But then doing that would probably mean a ground-up redesign of the entire class.

Think about what you are saying. Blood Lust + the insane burst a Elemental has right now coupled with a 4-5s stun. Do you really think this would be balanced?

I am not trolling you. I just want to hear your reasons, cause in my opinion this would give you free HKs whe your stun and BL were available, which would translate in free arena victories, which isnt fair.

PS: I am not talking about the current totem stun, I am talking about the hypothetic stun that shamans should receive that some ppl on this topic suggested.

First "we are the only class with no CC" to "we are the only class with no stun"
Different classes have different abilities (or at least they used to).

BTW wolves stun so priests are the only class with no stun iirc.
