Unfortunately once they acquired the brand, EA didn’t treat it all that well

The Art of War(craft): Introductory guide to fighting shamans

Zach first ground out the Battlegrounds on a PvP server on a shaman, refusing to spec restoration during a time when shamans were only brought to raids because of Mana Tide. Man, those days sucked.

But the game is far from broken and with a few minor tweaks, you can find yourself on the delivering end of the ass beating.
