I really feel defeated after seeing blizzard give druids that nice update, but still no Spirit Link or core defensive ability for shamans.
There are plenty of mechanics already in the game that have a double cast, why is it proving to be such a huge problem for Blizzard to implement? Does anyone have any inside info to share?
Is it a balancing issue? Is the risk of exploitation too high?
Even if we weren't given spirit link, but were instead given my previous idea of an Empowered Earth Shield which reduces damage by X% on the earth shielded target and consumes all remaining ES charges in the process... that would be fantastic!
What are other people's thoughts on this? Am I just being a cry baby or does the greater shaman community feel that we are falling just a little behind in defensive ability department?
Thanks,
Klotark.
