What baffles me in this thread, is reading some posts that seem to be implying that Shamans were also bad in 5.0-5.1?
We ran a Disc/RestoSham combo during most of our 5.0 10HM progression and our restoshaman was amazing. At times our Disc Priest, who is known as one of the best on our server, had a hard time keeping up with him. Granted, our Resto Shaman has been an amazing player for many expansions now too and the rest of us as a raid had good positioning for both him and our Disc (bunched-up works for both
), although his HRs also had good positioning since he adapted them to each boss fight, but still, at no point did we feel that he was holding us back. On the contrary, the nights that we had both our Disc/RestoSham in were our better tries (and most of our Heroic kills).
I'm sorry that I can't offer any feedback on 5.2 content (because I don't have any
) but I just found that weird.
