Discussões por falta de Shaman na primeira kill do Ragnaros Heróica

Uma grande discursão está surgindo no fórum da Blizzard porque ontem Ragnaros foi morto em Heroic mode pela primeira vez no mundo e o grupo da Paragon não tinha nenhum Shaman na sua composição, isso mesmo, o grupo era de 25 jogadores. Pessoas estão usando esse argumento para dizer que Shamans não são bons e precisam de buff.

A Blizzard diz que isso não quer dizer nada e que milhares de Boss foram mortos em Heroic mode desde que o Cataclysm foi lançado e centenas de Shamans participaram. Eles veem essa discursão como uma discursão improdutiva.

E vocês? O que acham dos Shamans?


OMG NO SHAMAN IN PARAGON'S RAGNAROS KILL!!!§§§111

It doesn't matter at all unless you can verify and prove that Heroic Ragnaros is impossible, or way more difficult to kill, when a specific class or specialization is represented in the raid.

You're forcing together a couple of incredibly fragmented pieces of data -- and the sample size of that tested data is 25 players in the whole world fighting one boss in the entire game -- to extrapolate an entire thesis on class balance.

No one is going to benefit from trying to make an argument out of this.

And why do you think the world first guilds continue to not bring any Shamans. Is it because they're in such a good place right now they didn't want people to complain that they were class stacking Shamans because of how amazing they are?

This is the 3rd world first end boss kill in the past 3 patches where there was not ONE DPS Shaman in the raid makeup (And only one Resto Shaman in the past 3 world first end boss kills). You can keep saying EVERY new patch that they can bring what they want and that there is nothing that you can do, but you should really look at why they aren't bringing one class every single time.

That's a pretty ineffective way to consider class balance. It's as though you're suggesting the answer to perceived shaman woes is for us to buff them until the top guilds in the world must bring them to their raids for world first kills. That's a vacuum in which class balance should never work.

One thing you're certainly not doing is counting all of the kills of each of the Heroic bosses which followed the world firsts. Shaman have certainly been present for Heroic boss kills in Cataclysm, but that data doesn't support your argument. You want to focus on, what, four total boss kills over the last eight months? Out of tens of thousands of Heroic boss kills which have occurred globally since Cataclysm, do you really think you're presenting a fair case? (Fórum Original)
