Man-- as if Blizzard really needed something like this to happen. Shamans are already unhappy with patch 2.4, and in replying to a relatively well-written and well-founded thread on why that is, EU CM Tharfor drops this bomb:

The stats don't show a lack of popularity for shaman, they just show a ridiculous popularity for other classes.

Its simple: The mechanic of spell pushback overlaps too much with spell cancelling in PVP. Spellcasts in melee are overcountered. Disagree? My rogue can keep a warlock spamming the fear button from completeing a single fear for over a minute and a half with a combination of slice and dice + melee haste, the standard cheap shot/kidney shot/blind/CloS/gouge and of course kick. It is clear something is wrong here.

A warrior spamming hamstring and his swings on my mage can easily make a frostbolt cast 6 seconds long, even casts that were 2.4 out of 2.5 seconds from completing before he entered melee range. Furthermore, he can then cancel it 5.9 seconds in (and lock the frost tree out as well of course).

I think the 25,000+ year old Draenei mages disagree that corruption is a set deal when it comes to magic. If you approach it with the absolute mindset of power, chances are you will become a necromancer or warlock, etc.

However, that isn't the only route to power, just the easiest one. There are mages that can cast several incredibly powerful spells in seconds. Spells that can wipe out tens, hundreds or maybe thousands of people in seconds. Archimonde destroyed Dalaran, a city with incredible magic shielding, in seconds with one spell.

Magic is, essentially, everything in WoW. It is your ability to change the surroundings. However you do it depends on your style. Shaman techniquely use magic in their spells and totems. Druids cast spells. Priest prayers are essentially spells (note that this only refers to their active spells, not things their respective deities do for them without asking, such as the magical shield that protected Tyrande from the BL for a month or more that even Archimonde couldn't break.)

What you need is a WoW Leveling Guide, a tool that will give you advice on what quests to do, what items to have and how to link them together to maximize your World of Warcraft experience in the fastest way possible.

He plays well over 10 hours per day I'm sure of it. He is jobless. Doesn't try as much as he should to try to find a job. He's been like this for months....maybe as much as 5 months. This someone is my friend and roommate. I don't know what to do with him anymore. I am starting to wonder is it his addiction to WoW that is making him like this or is it just him not wanting to make @#%^ing sense? ...both maybe? Anyhow I feel like I need to break it to him but he's not the type that likes to be talked down onto if you know what I mean...hes kinda hard headed and rebellious...like a teen.

and yes, Mal'Ganis Horde is my main. But I play the Alliance on my other account when I'm moreso bored.
Mal'Ganis Alliance here too. Carpe Diem, you bastard Latin stealers!
