Suffering in a kite of a hunter while leveling.
And when you try to cast a spell, the pet just kills you and delays your cast.

Great experience.

I was always jealous of classes that could increase their move speed before level 40. Aspect of the cheetah, travel form, or even just blink or sprint -- any time I was running anywhere, I'd get passed.

Hm,...kinda hard to say; played druid in classic (late), leveling was really decent, ofc not having a ress kind sucked but never seemed to matter that much.

As a priest the one or two things that I am jealous of are the innvervate/invocation abilities that druids and mages have.
the lack of low-cd crowd control for farming also kinda sucks, even with holy nova, but I guess not everyone gets to be a mage!

other than that ? the fact that hunters can just rely on their pets for 90% of their damage and still do decent dps, similar to how rogues deals most of their damage through auto-attacks...always seemed lame to me (y that is lake 50% of a servers population, but whatever).

But all in all, am pretty happy to be a priest;)

I have always hated hunters for the same reason as Yori mentioned above ^ It’s just too easy for them.

As someone who plays mage but always wanted elemental shaman to be viable in PvE:

A comparable rank of lightning bolt to other classes nukes. Max rank Lightning bolt is a lot weaker than max rank Frostbolt/Fireball/Shadowbolt. Not only that, but those other spells get additional bonus ranks from the AQ tomes.

Also, Fire mage gets a talent that gives them mana regen from crits called...Master of the Elements. And Elemental shaman gets nothing like that. Yeah. Like Elemental Shaman has a lot of crit only through talents and base int. Like 25% chance to crit without gear. And that talent would be great. But alas.

HATE

  • Rogues - Camping Burning Steppes & Winterspring FP's for easy kills. Omg we get it, you vape.

  • Shamans - I was alliance back in the day and being trolled (literally and figuratively) with Earthbind and Frostshock. Just a prolonged death while leveling.

  • Warlocks - Showing up to a raid without shards... oof... talk about depressing.

  • Warriors - NOTHING THEY'RE PERFECT.
  • ENVY

  • NO ONE BECAUSE WARRIORS ARE PERFECT! KTHXBAI.

  • Okay, maybe Windfury weapon... just a little...

    To be fair Mage and Warlock are purely DPS classes and Shaman is a versatile class. There should be differences.

    As an UD Priest main back then, I was pretty jealous of others being able to go farm or kill without having to respec back to Shadow. But I loved healing as a priest, so I just stuck with it.

    Certainly. But it's a shame that BC strikes a good balance with this and Vanilla does not; where in BC, elemental is a support spec with good enough dps to take on a raid coupled with great buffs and in Vanilla, elemental is just too bad to even fill a decent support role. That's my point. It has neither the dps or the buffs.

    YES! Mobility envy is a huge part of the Vanilla leveling experience. ;-)

    What youre asking for isnt unreasonable... A comparable tome drop from AQ to help validate the spec. Not a complete overhaul to rebalance things. I feel this way about SO many specs. Most don't need an overhaul. Just a subtle shift to help them validate themselves. This wouldnt rewrite the meta. This wouldnt suddenly make Ele shamans the kings of DPS... For the most part this would still be a fringe spec with mana issues, but at least it would be validated.
