This will probably be my last patch in WoW.

I came here 1 year ago with BC so i don't know how shamans were before the expansion: i picked up a shaman cause on the description it seemed the most viable class to PvP with and more confortable with my playstyle.

Now, after 1 year of playing, i am just giving up.

Since i have been playing this game i have seen only nerfs to this class that is already underpowered.

We had Grounding totem being a viable anti cc absorbing more than one harmfull spell like silence: it was nerfed or just balanced to absorb one as it was stated in the description.

We had Earthbind unveiling rogues: it was nerfed.

We had dmg in elemental spec: it was nerfed twice.

We had a decent resto tree for PvP: hunters were given healing reduction effects and dispell abilities so our 41 points talent was wasted due to the large amount of hunters around.

We had for a while the 70% pushback on PvP set that finally allowed us to cast something different from shocks: it is getting taken out.

I am sick of being a joke, i am sick of having to just stand there running around waiting for spell lock, silence, kick, silencing shot, etc etc to just wear off.

I am sick of seeing "immune" on enemies when they pass near my earthbind.

I am sick of being stunlocked to death.

I am sick of being chain feared to death.

I am sick of not being able to play my damn character because i am in no way able to counteract all the way other players have to cc me.

I am sick of pets attacking me from behind pushing back my spells even with a 70% bonus.

I am sick of hunters having ice trap, silencing shot, scatter shot, intimidation on a cd that allows them to conitnuously keep me out from the game.

I am sick of mages ice trapping me + silencing me and then just clicking frostbolt + icelance while i can't do anything.

I am sick of druids spamming cyclone with almost no diminishing returns then shapeshifting out of my frost shock and dashing when i finally almost killed them.

I am sick of warlocks laughing at me just fearing, howl of terror, spell lock, curse of tongues dotting me and stand there watching me die, while i just run without control on my goddamn tremor totem and thinking "pulse damn bastage, pulse" without seeing it work.

I am sick of rogues cheap shotting, kicking, mace stunning every 4 secs, kidney shotting and poisoning me at a speed i can't even try to counteract spamming remove poison with a poison cleansing totem down, and then, when i get them down to a resonable amount, just blinding me, bandaging and then cloaking at 100% resist on my spell. And guess what? If in some way i can get them to almost die, they can still vanish or just cheat death reducing the dmg taken by 99%! All this speeding on my damn earthbind totem because they get immune to it.

I am sick of priests mana burning me without a cooldown while they wait for their dots to heal them, while once again i am silenced or feared.

Poor warriors are maybe the only ones that are not a so huge issue, but still they can improve harmstring me ( why can't i have improved earthbind?) mortal strike me, howl of terror me, mace stun me.

Paladins? Well, maybe they are not so dangerous, but after you burn half your mana bar on them they just bubble, after you use another half they just lay on hand, after you use another half they just stun you, and after i used another bar they die. Too bad i used too many half bars i don't have in the meantime.

We gave feedback on Blizzard's posts to help develope and fix out class to make it more enjoyable and we got blatantly ignored.

I am not having fun with this game anymore so it's probably time to just leave and find a better game for my fun needs.

And when we complain what do we get?

Someone saying " it's not shamans being underpowered, it's the others being overpowered" but they still buff them and nerf us.

Jeez, PvP some with a shaman as your only character to play and you'll prolly end up leaving or getting angry too.

You forgot that it takes an immense amount of time (relative to PVP) to even place these worthless totems. And as far as PVP I may tough it out a couple times if I really want an item otherwise I only raid and run my hunter in BG's and arena b/c at least with him a gun cant be endlessly interrupted. So if this is a PVP game first and foremost then Blizzard need to back it up by making all classes viable contenders in PVP action.

This was never first and foremost a PvP game ever, and was never intended to be.

Never a PvP game? Then why in the hell am i in a PvP realm?

Why did they introduce factions?

Why did they introduce PvP realms? Arenas? Battlegrounds?

Shuush.....

Now if only your mother had wrapped the umbilical cord around your neck a little tighter....I wouldn't have to respond to another loser troll.

(Directed to the gnome)

And pole dancing only works if you can move. Still, it's hilarous to do it to hunters and kill their pet behind the pole while they desperately strafe around it.
