...thats a warrior ss

Elemental got nerfed, but 2minute healing steam/mana spring is nice.

4/13/2007 1:57:57 PM

I hi 48 last night on my Draenai Shaman. I even managed to score a Kang the Decapitator (2h Axe) as a main weapon. I've found that I do much more damage with a 2h Axe than I do with 2 1handers. Like almost 75 dps on average (pre kang).

Since I think I want to stay a 2(h) route. How would you recommend me speccing through 60? and then 70? Here's my current spec in wowhead.

I'm solo/pvp/group atm. No raids and I want healing to be secondary to my damage. My next goal is a http://www.thottbot.com/i1263 (Brainhacker).

4/13/2007 2:24:41 PM

if youre leveling, which you are, spec enhancement.

4/13/2007 2:48:56 PM

^^Quit your char now. Blizzard hates Shamans.

4/13/2007 2:56:06 PM

same question with me..

my co-worker says for leveling my warrior, i should spec rage and dual wield. agree?

4/13/2007 2:58:31 PM

sweet jesus, finally got rid of imp sap

4/13/2007 3:10:56 PM

god yes.

For warrior leveling go fury like crazy. It kicks ass.

Ok so this is either going to be awesome or extremely gay depending on what they mean. Does that mean I am going to get guaranteed double crits every mutilate, or does it mean i can only mutilate once every 3 min or whatever when cold blood is up. Or does it mean if cold blood is up it is going to use it whether i want it to or not?

If that is the case I am switching back immediately, I was trying out combat with claws, but if I am gonna be able to hit you for 3.5K everytime I mutilate then fuck that lol

"- "Assassination" Set: The haste bonus from this set will no longer be triggered if your attack does not land on the target."

While I knew this was coming, this is going to nerf my raid dps quite a bit and makes me sad . Also gonna make me wanna spec out of combat again.

4/13/2007 3:32:39 PM

think tier 6 info will be up on the ptr?

4/13/2007 3:35:49 PM

was it bugged before, i never had a problem with mutilate working with cold blood

4/13/2007 3:52:14 PM

eh, hell if i know - i was talking out of my ass.

i stayed combat

4/13/2007 3:56:50 PM

from the rogue boards, fwiw

Quote :

"Basically right now, if you CB mutilate, and your first hand kills the target before the second hand hits, you retain CB. "

so it's just a bug fix

[Edited on April 13, 2007 at 4:06 PM. Reason : ]

4/13/2007 4:06:05 PM

ahh ok maybe that explains why sometimes im like i swear i got off a cold blood mutilate but i guess not since CB is still on

4/13/2007 5:26:48 PM

I would not spec 2h for leveling. You dodge an attack or perry and your swing timer is bugged for a good 4s. Go dual wielding for leveling and then get a good 2h at 70. My ideal spec remains 0-40-21 getting NS and everything up to shamanistic rage (sucks balls for 2h). dual wielding is much more consistant damage so you don't get worked when you have a few strings of misses or dodges. +hit is probably the most useful stat after stam for leveling enhancement, then agi. AP doesn't scale really well, you needs LOTS to make a big diff, amounts you wont see until end game loot.

warlock tier 6, are you serious:

hm i dunno bout that shit

4/13/2007 6:21:28 PM

i think its pretty damn cool

4/13/2007 7:55:51 PM

^^^ the wings flap...

possibly a way to have the Epic Flight that warlocks have been begging for... Tier 6 Helm + Epic Riding Skill = Zoom Zoom ZOOM!

4/13/2007 7:56:50 PM

must.... have...

4/13/2007 8:24:52 PM

it'd be really fucking sweet if my character would finally transfer to the ptr

4/13/2007 8:27:34 PM

yeah, looks like the wings only pop when you put on the helm

Thats only slightly cooler than their T4 (black hurricane). Why are you surprised?

transfer done

now i wish they'd just hook me up w/ free gear to fuck with

4/14/2007 12:55:24 AM

^^^ yay another awful looking set for paladins. it'd probably be alright if it didn't have that damn halo

4/14/2007 2:48:59 AM

hahahahhaa, so after i quit the guild the other day i find out tonight that they had a complete meltdown today, rofl

i love intarweb drama

4/14/2007 2:51:54 AM

awww, assholes nerfed the guile of khoraazi

-6 agility and 12 AP

4/14/2007 3:24:24 AM

oh fuck them in the ass ... im like half way to exalted :x

4/14/2007 4:10:02 AM

i love the way they nerf the fuck out of shit and don't even mention it in any of the patch notes

not that that is a MAJOR nerf, but still

[Edited on April 14, 2007 at 4:12 AM. Reason : ]

4/14/2007 4:11:51 AM

Those patch notes are already a 20 minute read, if they mentioned every single change it would be a 3 hour read.

4/14/2007 7:05:51 AM

WTF Im halfway to exalted too for that dagger that is gonna piss me off

^^ yea, i've been using it for ages and had planned to continue to offhand it after i got my gladiator's shanker, but now it looks like i'll be going back for the shiv, too

Also, it's funny as hell that their idea of buffing the rogue tier gear is just adding shit tons of stamina

slightly less than porcha's. couldnt get my hands on a flask or a shaman tho so i just used all the elixirs i could since theyll be nerfed next patch (which im happy about for PVE and unhappy about for random BG fun heh). still need my bloodlust brooch but i hardly ever run heroics

im saving my badges to buy nethers. I hope it isnt some ridiculous amount of badges per nether. can anyone on the ptr check that?

4/14/2007 7:54:16 PM

waste of badges imo. how many primal nethers are you short from something.

4/14/2007 8:01:56 PM

primal nethers are currently at 12 badges a pop

4/14/2007 8:28:25 PM

unless you have everything you want from heroic rewards id never spend badges on a nether

4/14/2007 8:54:45 PM

eh, i haven't really seen anything worth using badges on AT ALL

[Edited on April 14, 2007 at 9:16 PM. Reason : brooch]

4/14/2007 9:16:29 PM

I have everything I could want from heroic badge rewards. I've got hourglass of the unraveler and the spine off gruul in my trinket slot. I've got the neck off aran and can pick up the one off midnight pretty easily as well. I also don't want that shitty dagger. I need 11 more nethers to make dragonmaw and 2 nethers per runic hammer. runic hammers bring me like 2k gold a piece. I'd have to do some math, but I'm pretty sure hourglass of the unraveller and dragonspine are more dps than bloodlust and something else.

4/14/2007 9:30:55 PM

Shamans are now the least played class in WoW.
