Half are rarely if ever used. Flametongue is my favourite - never used. As for solo play - they do make a difference, albeit a small one. If I'm going one on one with an elite of the same or similar level I'll drop all 4 totems, usually agil, strength, searing and mana. For grinding I'll usually only drop mana and pull the mobs in and slow down on the shock spells. It saves stopping and drinking every 3 fights. Slow. Having some guild upheaval at the moment. Our MT - the one who by default got ALL the tank drops in MC - hasn't been online in over a month. When questioned about it, the GM (who just happens to be his mate) quit and looks like taking a few with him. The upside is I get to raid more often - went to AQ20 for the first time last night :shock: As for progression: ZG all but Hakkar. AQ20 only Kuri, I think. MC - all bosses on farm except the last 2: Domo and Rags. Have downed Domo once before. Ony - not yet. Had him down to 5% in our best attempt before the inevitable fear into the whelps. :roll:

Nice Vid! Gratz on downing Nef... ... and being a big sissy girl, ED. :winkold:

Neat. The only difference is a totem is a cast once, not used up and lasts 2mins. It's not often you need to cure poison and disease at the same time so that's covered. Would be nice if we could remove magic, though. The point is that you dont need to heal it if it's absorbed. Totem buffs may be weak compared to a Pally, but they are not totally useless. In the last shaman review (1.10) they had a chance to address this. They didn't bother. Instead, they decided on Horde Pallys. Great. Shaman's role in the game post BC? Non-existent. We will get a new totem that pumps up caster's damage for all in the party. Guess what? It's an Air totem. :roll: And you are spot on about population imbalance and easy mode.
-
No argument there. Paladins = easy mode. But our buffs aren't absolute shite. There are things totems can do that PussyBubble's buffs cant. Example? Magmadar's fear, Gehennas' shadow bolts, Venoxis' poison.
-
Meh. Nobody cares about DPS? Ask a rogue, mage or hunter. :winkold: Went farming for the eye of shadow in WS last night with a warrior alt. Had to heal, buff and DPS to get through. The extra DPS made all the difference. As for buffs - there's a totem for every situation: Need purging for poison? Or Disease? Or fear? Or Sleep? Done. Need more agil? Done. Need more DPS? Done - in 1 of 3 ways (windfury, Strength, Firetongue) Need damage reduction? Done? Need threat reduction? Done. Need more mana? Or health? Done. Need to absorb that spell? Done. Need Fire, Frost or Nature resistance? Done. And you can change any one at any time. Absolute shite? Only if you group with a shaman that doesn't bother dropping them.

Shaman Rock! DPS, healing and buffs. Never met a pally that can beat me in a duel. Totems! Totems! Totems! BAM! Frostshock!! :winkold:
-
Paladin? Easy: Hammer of Justice - a few melee swings - Repentence - a few melee swings - pussy bubble - self heal Repeat ad-infinitum. *yawn*
-
Awesome! Put me in the Risso basket - numerous runs to MC and not a single epic. :cry: Must be something to do with Shamans....

What if real life and WOW actually crossed.....? Download

Meh. I dont see the problem. Rogues don't simply vanish into thin air immediately. They fade out over a (small) period of time. That is, the stealth ability is immediate, but it's affects take about 1-2 seconds. Now if somebody has the rogue targetted, they do not lose that target until the stealth has completed So.... The autoattack didn't break his stealth - he wasn't stealthed at that point. And the death coil wasn't cast after he had stealthed. It was already being cast by the warlock and he got the spell off before the rogue had completed his stealth. He just noticed the affects after he stealthed - but the spell was already travelling and will hit its target stealth or not. Or, in other words, cry more Rogue - you tried to gank a warlock and got teh pwned!! :winkold:

Nice work, Rev!

For all classes? Orly? Well... all classes bar hunter, priest and drood.
-
New spells and talents for all classes beyond level 60. Some lover-ly talents there for a full DPS shammy..... ... providing they supply some suitable armour with the new talents.

Commando. Terrible movie, but the best one-liners. "C'mon Sully - this is my weak arm!" "Dont wake my friend - he's dead tired" "Lets' take Sully's car - he wont be needing it" "Why dont you let off some steam!?" "All that matters to me now is CHenny!" *that's "Jenny" - but with Arnie's accent.* And that's just off the top of my head. :winkold: As for action films that involve owls - albeit a mechanical one - how can you miss Clash of the Titans?? Swords, mythology, monsters, skeletons, special effects, magic, owls - it's all there! In the eyes of a 10 year old (I saw this movie for my 10th birthday) - what other movie compares?? Oi! And you forgot the Conan movies! And how about Highlander?

too good to leave buried on the last page. youtube has been down ever since i posted the message, so i doubt many have seen it. That's quality. Our guild is planning one for some time in the next few weeks.... ... though spelling "ULTIMATE" might prove a little too difficult :winkold:
-
Thanks for the advice Risso - much appreciated. I'm still a little unwilling to respec just yet - I love my 31/20/0 build. When taking down Golemagg, I was in a group with 3 rogues and 1 hunter. Needless to say my improved AOG totem talent was appreciated, along with the somewhat poorer (compared to other shammies) but sufficient heals. That bonus would be lost in a resto build - as would all my DPS, making my semi-regular BG forays useless.
-
Not yet for Ony, but doing the 20 mans regularly - which I am not often a part of yet :cry: Still lagging a long way behind some of the places you lot have been. And your videos are awesome, Rev! Sweet! Thanks for the link... .... though my chances of remaining a DPS shaman are pretty small.

Went to MC for the first time last night. The raid was full of classes in blues with limited FR (just like me). As such, we wiped a few times on the trash mobs.... ... but still managed to down Geddon, Shazzrah and - with only 35 players left - Golemagg. clicky
-
Knowing McClaren, it will probably be Freddy Flintoff.
-
I want to know who their backers are - donations to VT only go so far!!

Still siding with Risso on this issue. If you take away the difference between the factions - that is, Shammies and Paladins - purely for gameplay then choosing a faction is simply a coin toss. It really makes no difference which side you are on. They had some options with the latest shammy review: 1) Make the totems stack (e.g. 2 shammies in a party dropping FR doubles the resistance) 2) Make the totems raid wide (not group wide) 3) Allow a talent for dropping 4 of ANY totem (eg mana + health + FR and 1 other). 4) Any combination of the above. But they did nothing.... ... except introduce "Holy" pussy-bubbling paladins to the decidely unholy (and unpussy) Horde. Lame.
-
Agreed. No self respecting Horde player would ever roll a bubble-pussy. :winkold: That aside, the chances of Shammies getting into Raids over Pallys is next to zero.
-
Meh. Like Shamans, Druids are a hybrid class - jack of all trades and master of none. If you buff their abilities enough then every warrior, rogue or mage wannabe would roll a druid just for their versatility. As for PVP tricks, changing form seems to do a good job of dispelling any dots on you. If a druid is running and changing forms (and healing inbetween) there is simply NO WAY I (a shaman) can stop them, let alone kill them.

Question: Why would anyone want to make a private server? Isn't the multiplayer experience the reason to play in the first place? And whats the point in filling it with ultra-uber-cant-be-touched gear that doesn't appear in the public servers?
