How is heroism not required???

#0 - April 7, 2009, 10:24 p.m.

1) Every hardmode achievement requires a shaman

2) Please show me a guild that has done OS3D without heroism

3) OS3D 10 man zerg happened only with heroism

4) Most 10 man achievements require a shaman .. most 10 man raids require a shaman

5) 10 and 25 man hard mode achievements require 2 shamans due to the CD

6) Shamans have one of the best utility in the game .. sure they can be provided by other classes but they can still provide amazing regardless of spec

7) Nerf bloodlust/heroism or give it to another class .. No class should be brought just for their buffs

PS: i dont care if all specs provide it .. this is not a valid reason why shaman class is required in raids

We nerfed Bloodlust / Heroism for 3.1. They provide a great buff, just as Sunder Armor and Curse of Elements provide great debuffs. We don’t assume you have every buff or debuff for 10 player hard modes, but we do assume you have some. For 25 player hard modes, we assume you have about every buff / debuff possible.

Can you do 25 hard without a shaman? Yes.
Will it be easier with a shaman? Yes.

Bloodlust is definitely one to keep an eye on though.
