Definately alot of hurtin' on Rakurr Shaman and a decent general reduction in fun of all Shaman (but we expected them to limit the form/pet thing since it was stated by beta persons that the devs said they didn't want both pet and form.
Prob is, with the reductions in melee, speed and in removal of spell damage (I thought wolf was hybrid? a little more melee dmg and a little more spell dmg than in human form - vs the lot more spell dps of hayatet (and high DPS pet!) and the alot more form melee dmg (and high AC/hp/tanking pet!)) of the Tuurgin.
I mean, where do the devs now envision the Rakurr to fit? We all can cast a speed buff... we will not likely be using the wolf form to travel since without stacking it isn't likely to be much faster than horse (if it IS faster) and you won't have a pet if jumped by a high level to throw at it
/wink or fight with if beatable.
Are there any plans in the works to give some love to the Rakurr just in a different 'balanced' way?? I'd love a reason to assume that form... and if I have to pick one or the other - makes me wish I picked one in which it helps to have the pet in the party (since I don't solo really) - the Hayatet.
Anyone tell me from Hayatet line - if I should just abandon my love of the Lupine family
and go Phoenix (GREAT art on that btw guys!!!)
