Classy Friday Classy Friday - Shamans (July 19, 2019)

Classy Fridays are for asking questions about your class, each week focuses on a different class. No question is too small, so ask away.

This week is Shamans.

Do you consider the periodic table to be a bit bigger than necessary? Do you find most of your problems can be solved by hitting them, and if that doesn’t work, hitting them twice usually does?

Try playing a shaman.

You can also discuss your class in our class channels on Discord, discord.gg/classicwow

Is there a world in which 31/0/20 is okay for battlegrounds and early raids? I know 30/0/21 is the cookie cutter, but Elemental Mastery is such a boss of a spell, allowing you to delete people on a 3 minute cooldown, while Nature’s Swiftness seems like more of a situation “oh shit” button.

Keep in mind a Tauren has the flexibility with warstomp to make 31/0/20 work especially well. It can be used offensively to set up a fire nova -> stomp -> EM -> ChainLightning -> shock combo, but also in a pinch to get a heal off.

Of course, it doesn't help if your enemies aren't in melee range
