Someone already got an infraction for expounding on a post of yours, so it's probably your turn to get the hint that the poor, pitiful shaman spiel is getting old.

Original Post:

Does anyone share my fear of this change knocking WoW back to the stone age? (Class pigeon holding)

Once people have come up with the way to buff the raid as much as they can whilst leaving room for as many others as possible, the stacking issue will shift to fitting as many of whatever class does the most damage/fits best for the fight (Combat Ress/Cloak of Shadows/Ice Block).
An offspecc will never be allowed to perform equal to a "pure", this would cause chaos because of the mindset. The logic currently is that because they bring buffs, they have less damage capabilities, correct? Well now that the buffs are gone (or redundant because of the presence of another buffer), those players are useless and the logic is gone. But the mindset remains; if a hybrid can match a pure, why bother with pures? And because of this [mindset] balance can never be achieved with the new system.

Also a small sidenote: Anyone think it's funny how a mage or warlock buffs the raid with more than an Elemental Shaman at their current situation. Who's the supporter, really?
