Many shaman saw it coming from the beginning. Back in the vanilla days, there was the shaman hero Nert, who urged those who saw shaman as overpowered to learn to play. Nert and others found eternal words of wisdom in the Vin Diesel Fact Generator, which at the time was more famous than buy Mabinogi Gold the Chuck Norris Fact Generator. The notion of some shaman turning into the famous action star is no surprise in the context of this irrefutable evidence.
Not all complaints were from lower rated players. Back in the day, getting Glad as a shaman meant something. Now, with our improved water shield working on Chain Heal we pretty much faceroll just like druids. Playing a gimped class and making Glad on it meant you were somebody, a good player and the baddest mother in real life. But now, it means nothing with my perma-freedom Ghost Wolf, Ancestral Healing actually being good and Natures Guardian being a mini-last stand on a 30 second cool down.
