live4treasure wrote: Sun Jan 27, 2019 10:24 am My expert opinion on the changes:

Storm of Cronos is not required for 6v6, because if you ever have the opportunity to get that close to the enemy frontline, you are already winning and it doesn't matter.

Silence was never 100% required for 6v6, because there are numerous other classes that can apply CC to the enemy healers. RP, for example, and it's much easier for an RP to do that because it's instant cast versus your 1 second cast, which allows the healer you target to just move out of range unless he made the mistake of letting you get that close or you grossly overextend.

This is a pandora's box, in my opinion, last time Magical Infusion was given to DPS AM's, it made them literally immortal in organised play. I'll try it out. Maybe something's changed, but I highly doubt it and my initial reaction is hoping that this would be thoroughly reconsidered.

The pandora box was already opened when they decided to buff the dps capabilities of those classes.

Who are you exactly to say one class shouldn't be viable and another should be? Backwards logic, my friend. Considering their dps capabilities were a joke before, the buff was justified.

Because those classes ended up having too much mobility, damage, utility and self-healing. Hybrids shouldn't be toyed with.

MoM and Magical Infusion should be swapped in order to allow players sub rr70 to play the class as dps.

@rmpl:
They have too much healing? Is a 270hp/3sec HoT too much, without even adding healdebuffs? All lifetap heals are affected by either detaunt, guard or absorbs, not to mention resists, so plenty ways to counter the healing.

You mention utility, without complaining about utility on other classes, which is for the most part more powerful. M1 range root or pulls?

The mobility was cut in pieces with the recent patch and snare proc on shaman doesn't count, as they face plenty anti-kite tools on order side.

Their dmg looks super good on scoreboard with the way how dots work and the addition of aoe spells. Like aoe dot magus and engi look great on scoreboard. They get kills like any proper dps class, if played well. They are no healer anymore, they have to be considered a dps class and killing on a dps class is their job.
They are most effective against opposition with lacking heals, because slow dot dmg doesn't matter, if you get no heals.

Does anyone explain this to me better?

Some cloaks have now new looks^^ Probably those that were blank white or had that brown cloth style.

Can't tell you about AM's performance (it didn't show great results during y-day 6v6 event) but DPS Shaman was suuuper strong, I'd even say slightly overperformed but even then these changes will hardly really hit its strongest tools.

The group was overperforming, not the shaman dps just saying...
