That is the ticket: A Shaman is not a cookie cutter character, but it is not something designed for purely being 'different'. The purpose of the Shaman is to be BETTER. A shaman is easily the most versatile PvP character, as strong as any cookie cutter and with no bad matchups. If you play a Shaman properly, you are not at a disadvantage against anyone. Some people might try Zeal sorcs or Enchantresses just to mess around in duelin games as 'Weird Builds'. Thats not what this is. This is a competent build designed to go toe to toe with everything else; you can beat any other build in the game. With the ability to play offensively and defensively at the same time, switching tactics at a moments notice, a Shaman Druid has no counter build. A windy loses to a trapper. A bvc loses to a bvb or bone necro. A trapper loses to a charger, a ghost loses to a barb. All of the main cookie cutter builds have clear and obvious rock/paper/scissors advantages and disadvantages against other builds. But a Shaman holds his rock, paper, and scissors all at the same time, and can choose between them as he wants. Your grizzly is your rock, your fissure your paper, and your volcano your scissors, and all at the same time geddon rains down a fiery holocaust. There is no build that will always beat a Shaman. Even the hardest duels; ghosts/hybrids, are still clearly winnable.
HAHAHAH yeah it's #1 char etc etc
