Kalgan: World of Warcraft Shamans to get buffs and nerfs

[Spitfire]

Tom Chilton, or Kalgan as he's known in the forums, is a very good source of information regarding Blizzard's World of Warcraft. He is the game's lead designer, after all. Well, he was recently spotted on the forums where he announced a few changes coming to the Shaman class.

Chilton pointed out that Shamans will be getting buffs to go along with the nerfs. While this is good news for all who play this class, he pointed out that "there's still quite a bit that hasn't been implemented yet."

He even teased the rest of the community saying that he would have shared some of the details but "some of them might not be technically do-able for this patch." Chilton also added that this makes some of the planned features still subject for review depending on the changes to be implemented.

Regardless, Chilton still shared some of the aspects of the Shaman class that they plan on focusing on such as "the totem dropping mechanic, improving specific under-used totems, and a few other non-totem related improvements."

Overall, things are looking pretty good for the Shaman class. Before we go, we'd like to leave you guys with a few words from Chilton regarding the way the developers from Blizzard are currently viewing the Shaman class:

To provide a little background, our general outlook on the class is that they're actually in good shape for all 3 specs for raid PvE, on the weak side for heroic PvE, pretty solid in battlegrounds and 5v5, on the weak side in 3v3, and pretty well gimped in 2v2. We're hoping to get at least 1 spec viable in 2v2 for this patch (we're thinking Enhance), but hopefully all three specs will be viable for 3v3.
