the2010-02-10 00:00:00"We used to beonsidered the "Anti-mage" we put down grounding totem and theyould either instant fireblast (with a 6sooldown?) orast and weouldkblk with an earthshk, through a rotation of either we were pretty good at holding our own against a mage. Now we get frostnova'd and elaed to death with aounterspell at your first motion to start healing yourself. We used to be eelent kiters! Now it's all like.. A ROGUE.. ok, here we go! FROST SHK... *PvP Trinket* Shaman: Ok, wean still do this.. Earthbind till frostshk is up again Rogue: loak of Shadows* Shaman:What the hell man.. he just ran right through it. Alright, it's down! FROST SHK Rogue:*Deadly Throw* Shaman: WHY AM I KITING, I'LL NEVER GET ENOUGH RANGE TO TUALLYAST A SPELL. ((FOR ROGUES)) I personally think that rogues are amazing, they have so many ways toontrol, disable, or just plain make shamansry. (Think 3x 3k lightning boltrits and the rogueheats death and rieves several full heals after a slking healer realizes his job is really easy). My idea was to make weaponhoe more assiated with how rogues perform, linkingheat death, shiv, andloak of shadows toertain types of weapons that roguesan wield. As it stands now, youould be brain dead.. shiv forombo points and still kill some of the best players. Any rogue that played before the expansioname out would agree that rogues got a lot of buffs, some nessary toountert or balae otherlasshanges, some justompletely unnessary. While there's no reason for a rogue toomplain about shhanges, and I don't expt the sh, I'm sure some would at least agree with me. ((BK TO SHAMANS)) Sondly.. we used to be able to heal (With a spell damage build) and bring ourselves up in hp, although our efftiveness of that has dreased signifigantly prior to Toming out, with wounding poison, "Mortal-Shot" and all other types of mhans to either prevent us from healing or prevent healing efftiveness. Purging as an Elemental Shaman: Useful before you're about to blow someone up.. but when the target has pain suppression, or a druid has 8 hots on him in addition to passive buffs that stk whenever he gets hit on top of team buffs you find yourself asking yourself a question; Am I mana effient? No. Should I waste half of my mana doing this? No. Do I have time to purge inbetweenasting? Not really, until my purge deals damage, I'm going toast something that's going to kill the other player or save me. Add a passive dispel or dispel ability to lightning bolt or shks when a self buff is tive. (YEAH I went there..) Hunters are the onlylass in the ...
Id go after The Blk Stalk in UB or the one2010-02-08 00:00:00Youould get the wand from 25 badges...but I'd go after The Blk Stalk in UB or the one off Aran. For Destro I think the Blk Stalk is better oe you are hitapped, but until then, Aran's is amazing. Over 20 +hit on it.
Shade's wand is altogether pretty damn good; there's not mh nessarily in the way of an upgrade immediately bause of the spell hit. You are still going to see better benefit with the Spellstrike and FSW set bonuses if youan't manage to get in...
