@QuestTheLine It has to be brd.
I can remember doing full runs before going through the dark portal on my first runs in 2007.
They took hours and the lyceum was really tough on a group of 5 noobs.
@JurdiJD If they supported shaman tanks, this would be less of an issue imo.
That's my rant.
But yes, totems should be raid wide.
It's not like a paladin can only buff their group with ONE HOUR LONG buffs.
Like pushing on a shaman tank with new abilities?
The shaman taunt can be different, that's not that hard.
Also we could use wind style abilities, also new.
I'll ask you this, if they add new tanks later would you give up your guild tanking spot?
If you have built up your guild, your abilities to tank with these homies and at some later point they add a new tank, will you step aside for a homie so they can now be guild main tank? And if so and they leave a healing spot open would you take that spot? Adding tanks later won cause problems that could be stopped by having shaman tanking in at launch.
Shamans have as much reason and call to be tanks as paladins.
Also, I am willing to bet the new paladin tanking abilities makes the game even better for paladin tanks.
?? Or are you going to say that paladins should not have a taunt because warriors and druids have one?
Was it really better, or are you just passionate about taking on a paladin. Same as I am passionate about shaman tanking?
@QuestTheLine The lack of discussion or even mentioning shaman tanking is pretty depressing.
Everything about forever has been amazing except for shaman tanks not being fully supported
I have to disagree here
Half specs just feel bad, they feel unsupported and weak.
I know it's feels great to tank every boss in a Kara run on a shaman but the amount of prep and work put in is huge, for mediocre results.
I don't play games to feel mediocre I play to feel great and have fun.
Right now enhance taking feels ok because of the level cap, but it will feel progressively worse and shamans will be overlooked for traditional tanks.
As my father used to say, "If you want to be proud of your work don't half ass it".
Because paladins were supported tanks?
Shaman and paladins were equal in abilities to tank in vanilla.
If shams should not tank then paladins should not as well?
How well would that work?
There are not enough tanks in the game period and we need more.
Shamans should do that role.
I am asking for full support but a half baked almost thing.
Forever is supposed to make the specs complete, shaman is not a complete tank right not.
Yes, you can tank low level dungeons but you have a hell of a hard time if anything goes wrong.
No taunt, no defense gear, no tier sets, and half talents.
We are very close and just need a little love.
