I am BACK!!!

WAZZAP?
tbh I can't really say anything major has happened in the past 3 months or so. I took an extended leave and will continue to only be semi-active until I have finished my exams. I need all A's and A*'s to be a vet, so...bleh.
What's new?
Well, Blizzard are once again fucking shamans over the rear end of the wazoo with regards to PvP. A simple anti-CC is what shamans need. Instead, we get SR being made undispellable (a boon I grant, but nothing particularly major) and other stuff which I really can't be bothered to comment on.
As it seems Zhero's and Art's blog have, shall we say, gone comatose? I will now be attempting to revitalise this blog using humour, although my type of humour is the sarcastic, narcicistic humour that tends to make people very aggravated and want to punch me in the head. But, to eaches own I suppose.
Now, as a personal note to blizzard from a 16 year old shaman who just wants to have fun.
Dear Blizzard:
The current state of shamans at the moment is atrocious. There is simply no empirical evidence for the justification for the way that you have systematically ass-raped, murdered, molested, resurrected, ass-raped and then murdered the shaman class ever since TBC was released. The major point is that, you gave EVERY OTHER BLOODY CLASS some form of CC/anti-CC or a mixture of both. This, combined with the fact that the shaman 40-point talents are about as useful as a chocolate covered fireguard that's been hand-made by leper gnomes, means that the shaman class at the moment is...How can i put it eloquently...oh wait...I can't...the shaman class at the moment is fucked...big time (in PvP, we're doing pretty damn well in PvE I must say).
Now, how you (blizzard) can simultaneously mainline heroine and cocaine whilst having your head so far lodged up your own backside that your farts come out as a burp quite astounds and confounds me. But I digress. With the major MMORPG competitors coming up (WAR, Age of Conan, Lego Online...) I highly suggest that you actually listen to the shamans who have been playing the class since the beginning and know what it needs. Because, at the moment the only way you seem to be fixing things is by going "hmmm....lets add a mortal strike debuff to it!!" and then sitting around clapping like a bunch of mentally handicapped seals trying to tell yourself that you've done a good job.
Yours disgruntedly

Good read man.
Your humor and criticism is just the kind we need :P

I think blizzard has some kind of problem handing out anti CC abilities, i play a MM hunter and i can tell you whenever i meet a rogue whit crippeling or a spamstring warrior im usally fucked unless i can get off some lucky entrapment procs, if i trinket ill just have the effect reapplied. Now you could argue that hunters have TBW but BM get boring after a while.

It seems that blizz is taking more of a e-sports approach lately and hopefully that will lead to more balancing, altho i think we are abit too far into the game to get everything equal at this point.

Whit WoW having around 10million MILLION customers i dont think WAR, AOC or any other game for that matter can compete at blizzards level, even if 1million customers instantly quit there would still be 9million around, only people who can actually compente whit blizzard at this point is blizzard themself :)

And whatever you do, dont reroll man, stick to your class like real men do!
