You're so insightful, it's like you work for Blizzard!

Original Post:

I had already gotten Surefooted on my old lvl 60 blood guard boots in anticipation of instant cast ghost wolf! Seriously, the stats on those boots are like 12 stam/int/str and the blue run speed bonus! Any shaman that wore those in arena would be taking a serious hit to resilience and stamina at the least.

All kidding aside, I wonder about the level of planning at blizzard HQ that can catch this as a possible abuse and let rogues roll an entire season with Hemo + AR + Prep before deciding that it is over powered. The more I think about it, the more it seems to me that Blizzard has given up on true balance as impossible (which it nearly is with some many variables in the equations) and instead has gone to a "rogues get OP status in season 2, then we'll nerf them for season 3 and buff druids. Elemental Shaman had a nice run, let's nerf them for season 4." Hopefully season 4 is the season of the enhance shaman buffs being over powered.
