    Shaman messed up since nurf

    Anybody else having issue with shaman since nurfing. I find her unresponsive and slower and definitely lacking chain ability with attacks. Not sure if I just played that man lady matches of if this is what shaman is now.

    She WAS.
    The nerf has put her right we she needs to be though.
    She's not anymore.
    And Aramusha never was.

    I too have been experiencing a lot of commands not responding today with Orochi.

    There is only one more stupid thing left I think they should fix with Shaman.

    She should not be able to pounce through a heavy moveset attack like my Storm Rush.

    Pouncing through a striking blade is just plain stupid, with no hit or damage taken no less.

    Other than that, the cheese seems to be gone.

    She can't dodge attack through my zone anymore.
    Not sure if she can still guard break me out of my Zephyr Slash even when it's 50-99% spun through.
    Hasn't happened yet today, but that is really annoying if she still can.

    But props to Ubisoft for not leaving the cheese cancer in for months this time.

    HAHA I have video of this. I believe I knocked her down. Went back to storm rush, targeted the person next to her and got pounced out of storm rush. Completely blind sided lol

    Also have a video of a conq knocking me out of my Hurricane blast. So much for uninterruptible lol

    Oh when did nerf happen?

    she is still op, that nerf did very little, it didn't fix the tracking issues or anything, all it did was slightly lower the damage on her dodge/dash attacks, and increase the recovery on them by 100ms to stop her being able to dash back for a second one before the other person could do anything.

    I think you people have a difference in definition when it comes to overpowered than the rest of us do...

    Well, I guess pounce through uninterruptible attacks, specially being as fast as it is, really is bad for a lot of classes. I mean you should not be able to pounce Highlander out of any heavy and not get hit yourself though his giant blade should have clearly cut the shaman. Stuff like this really sucks.

    Anyway, I too do think shaman is the strongest character still. And I am convinced she will get another nerf. Simply due to data saying she still has way more favourable then unfavorable matchups. But only time will tell who might be right here.

    And I suppose "the rest of us" is you right? That trash character needs further nerfing.

    Or maybe players should stop pretending they see better than they see clearly shown to be.
    It is perfectly ok to suck. I'm pretty bad at this game on a regular basis, but I don't try and excuse my sorry performance by blaming the roster and my inability to adapt and react to changes.

    I'll ask again, though I already know the answer, but how many of you have sat with a friend or a bit and actually tried to find holes in the move set? (Spoiler alert, it's none)
