I didnt understand the invocation of froat nerf. At peast now people will have to try and be original with shaman instead of netdecking whatever X streamer made legend (until the next streamer that is)
Isn’t Murloc shaman still good? Had shaman and Murloc quest and won all 3 games. Not a big sample size but maybe something to try if you want to play shaman.
Shaman sucks now, it was the nerf to invocation of frost that really screwed the deck. It is just too slow. It can't compete with Rogue and Warrior.
It is good vs. Priest (Hex and Earth Shock really screw up that deck), but that's not enough to justify playing it.
Also Dragon's Pack is not nearly as scary now that the wolves have 5 health.
I appreciate how powerful this deck was immediately following the release of DOD. But the second set of nerfs was unnecessary for Shaman. I played 20+ games on the ladder yesterday and ran into one Shaman.

Yes Blizzard literally pulled that out of their a$$e$. NOBODY asked for it.

Yes, im pretty sure it is good but people dont know how to build it or dont even experiment.
I am doing quite fine with Overload Shaman right now, both in teen ranks on one server and rank 5 on the other. Spirit of the Frog is a phenomenal card in this deck. Galakrond Shaman is definitely weakened, though, I have encountered one or two tops the last few days.

Yep at 60% with highlander gala deck.. can beat every deck if draw properly.
That's great news. Nerfs worked.
Is it? According to HSreplay it is even worse

You have problems with rogue ?
I'm 4-0 vs. rogues & 1-3 vs. warrior (one of the losses was vs. control warrior).

What this feller said.
I salute you... quite seriously, if you are doing well, you are obviously a better player than me. (Not saying much :P)
I gave up on Shaman, too many losses.
Trying Secret Hunter now. Late to the party on this deck, but I'm enjoying it.
Thanks for the kind words, but I'm afraid thats quite the case, I'm just getting my ass kicked in other matchups.
Don't know why but thats often been the case with me, I win the matchups I shouldn't and looses vs. those I should win.
Invoke twice minion for 5 manas = Shaman Tier S unbeatable, 60% or more of the ladder is shaman.
Invoke twice minion for 6 manas = Shaman Trash Tier, worst performing class.
This game is just impossible to balance. :|
They should of left Invocation of Frost at 1 mana and only nerf Dragon's Pack to +2/+2.

It wasn't the Corrupt Elementalist nerf that made Shaman the worst performing class.
