Prep Rogues can be difficult and are one of the few who give me a run for my money at times.
As for Shaman counter classes...Warriors fuck me up bad, Priests can fuck me up bad, Hunters, occassionally Druids and Mages.
More asskicking can be applied by abusing Adrenaline Rush if you really *must* beat the shit out of the Shaman

Willias had this to say about Reading Rainbow:
Actually, shaman duels end really quick. Typically, whoever can do the most damage in the shortest period of time wins a shaman duel.And warriors can do pretty well against shaman.
Only problem I have against shaman on my warrior is when they are almost dead and decide to pop a natures swiftness and full heal themselves 
. Rest of the time I can pummel them from being able to heal

Guaranteed way to own a shaman that is down to about 1/3 life. Though I'm curious as to how well Wounding Poison would mess up a healing class.

It doesn't. At all. Wounding Poison is absolutely useless.
It's not something people hear about.

What do they do to beat you?
Pretty much any well played shaman will beat me in pretty much any situation.

I forget to kill the poisons a lot or don't notice them. And concussion and scatter shot...stuff like that. Not to mention most of the time I don't see them before they shoot so...yeah.

Probably more than that.
Seriously, there are only three reasons to ever play Alliance:
1) You beat up Jews.
2) You're a pedophile.
3) You masturbate to Richard Gere.
Don't ask me for proof. If you were Horde, you'd understand.

May I ask why it is then? Is it curable in a single cast of Cure Poison, even after it stacks on an opponent multiple times?

The best rank is like, 150 off heals. 150 off a heal of 1500 or something. Mortal Strike is 50% healing. Which would be 750 off 1500.

It doesn't stack.
And, as Batty said, the reduced amount is horrid compared to things like Mortal Strike which also do damage. Wound Poison is 135, flat rate. MS is percentage and good damage.
Wound Poison just lasts five seconds longer, uses up one of our two poison slots, and costs money to make. No thank you. Crippling/Mind Numbing for me, thanks.

Then the tool-tip lies.
Edit: If you're getting your data from Thott, note that the data is a bit messed up. If you hover your cursor over the actual poison in game, it says this: Doot. Which is why I thought it stacks. Willias fucked around with this message on 09-10-2005 at 04:15 PM.
Meaning -675 with the final rank of Wounding Poison, should work pretty well to fuck up Lesser Healing Wave or Flash Heal.
Edit: IN THEORY. Willias fucked around with this message on 09-10-2005 at 04:27 PM.

Batty impressed everyone with:

Ah, yeah, that's killer.
A hunter/shaman fight would be a fair fight if Shamans didn't have cure poison.
But with cure poison, I have no prayer of draining their mana (or trying, I would run out of mana before they do, probably), and thus, like druids, I have no way to compete with survivability.

So quoth Willias:
Edit: IN THEORY.
Yeah, I was checking Thott, because I haven't touched Wound Poison in fourty levels. I never even bought the first rank.
So sure, it could be useful.. If you dual-poisoned with it. And beat on someone long enough to stack it five times. No one in their right mind would dual-poison with it, thereby giving up Crippling, Deadly or Mind Numbing in favor of an astronomically high chance that they'll negate part of someone's heal spell.
It's not something people hear about.
From testing, doesn't take long to get it to land 5 times.That being said, I very rarely get an offhand poison to proc for some reason. :/
If you have to rely on your mainhand poison proc stacking five times to kill someone, you should not be trying to kill them.
It's not something people hear about.

I agree there, but the poison can at least make it easier to kill them. That's the point of poisons anyways, isn't it? (Besides crippling I mean, that is kinda required to kill some classes.) Willias fucked around with this message on 09-10-2005 at 06:17 PM.
