I think they are pushing for Overload and Elemental Shaman this expansion, we had 1 Elemental card revealed last week. The rest of Shaman cards might be for Elemental deck.
no Big Priest nerf in Wild? Neptulon escaped the nerf again? I guess we gotta wait for another year, or until it is 2-3 weeks away 2024 rotation, we might see something just like Goldshire Gnoll Grey Sage Parrot
uff you haven't been around when Descent of Dragons was released... xD
on a more serious note, this game historically is terrible and not fun when shaman is good. and it almost never has anything to do with the shaman class itself, it's always because of other cards they're releasing.
just don't play the game. games should be fun.
They say the same thing to Priest & Druid when they are top meta contenders...
It's just never fun when any particular 1-2 classes have higher than 54% winrate... but people hate Priest/Druid/Shaman the most among the classes
Miniset content doesn't take 2-3 weeks to launch after the announcement, it might take a week at most, let say if they announce on this Thu, Feb 2, it might be released on Feb 7 or Feb 9.
Anyway, it should be coming soon in early Feb if they want to give the next meta for 2 months and keep up with their annual Core Set rotation along with Spring expansion to launch around early-mid April.
Whelps, I couldn't even care less about annual event for the first time...
So they know Standard is dieing with Roguestone, they decide to push for Battleground events and exclusive rewards so nobody can complain about Standard, great job Blizz.
In an ideal world (not realistic unfortunately), every class and every deck types (control, aggro, combo, midrange) should be present on the ladder so that the meta is never highly skewed towards specific classes or specific deck types.
Hopefully Blood DK can keep the Aggro decks in check. Blood DK struggles against greedy control decks like Druid. This might be their intention to nerf Prince so DK can stay more relevant.
Blizz made terrible decisions in both the launch of DH and DK. They should know better their players' expectations on these two classes.
- The hype of DH was not that high compared to the hype of DK, but DH power level at launch was so high that it turned lots of players away from the game because they did not expect it coming at all.
- DK is a WoW fan-favorite and the hype was much higher than for DH, but DK current power level is just so uncompetitive to other classes and once again, this turned off lots of players as their expectations were not aligned.
DH and DK power level at launch should have been swapped.
Oh, another much more balanced change? Make the battlecry damage only minions. Too much figuring out from the dev team I guess
That would've been the only logical nerf imo. Don't know why it can hit face to begin with. The card has control written all over it.
A very expensive way to "win the board" but in reality the card not going face will hurt druid a lot. But also it will hurt control decks that relay on board generation that still use this card. Time will tell what going down first in the next balance patch that is coming, Druid or Denathrius battlecry.
The thing is that right now you don't win anything. Not enough damage to clear the board, which a 10 mana card should be able to do, and not enough damage to kill your opponent
It depends on whether they want to use this 10-mana cost card as board clear/healing or a win condition or everything (as of right now). That will determine their nerf decision.

Isn’t this the same brawl two weeks in a row?

You meant Warrior?
Warrior remains as a dumpster class in both Standard and Wild until late Jan or mini-set release, I guess..

Mana cheating is a key win in HS these days, and DK needs more mana cheating to compete..

This is the same argument saying that burgle/steal/copy should not get weapon-buff spells as they are equally useless to corpses-activated spells.
