The Earth Elemental totem sounds like a stoneclaw totem with a bludgeon, is that the case?speedpop said:That's essentially the main reason why I am sticking to my Shaman and getting him upto lvl 70 in the hopes that our talents/60-70 spells get a complete reworking.
I watched a 66 Shaman use his Earth Elemental totem today on a 63 elite Orc mob down at Hellfire Citadel. Took a bit of a beating but with a 20 min cooldown it just screams gimmick to me.
Why? What do you want to improve? Mages have the most insane burst damage in the game bar none, they have the most efficient aoe capabalities. They are viable in both pve and pvp, no matter what spec.LiveWire said:BUFF MAGES PLZ![]()

I stopped leveling at ten waiting for my friend log in this monday so I went exploring. While getting herbs( always by nasty monsters, thank you blizzard!) and mapping out some horde lands I am now level 14! Oh noes, how did that happen :lol
I'm not sure what specialization I should choose. The elixirs are nice, but I think there will be more money in the pots. What do you guys think? Also where do I get the Potion Expert quest as horde?
Ahem. If you grind a shammy, you're not allowed to bitch about totems (and just think, it's gotten a lot better).vumpler said:I can not believe they nerf'ed our ass even more. I swear Blizzard hates priests... I have completely stopped playing my main character (60 dwarf priest) and am now grinding a shammy just because I'm sick of getting douched...
madara said:Holy time warp! One hour to get to three megs of a four meg patch. I feel like Im back in 28k modem days :lol
Ill try a lower multisample, thanks. I believe i had at 2X first time it crashed for me though![]()
Precisely what it is. Pretty decent in mob encounters against a boss where there are quite a few to deal with, but other than that it has no other value.explodet said:The Earth Elemental totem sounds like a stoneclaw totem with a bludgeon, is that the case?
DarkAngelYuna said:Just use fileplanet to dl them. Thats what I did this mourning and it took less than 30 seconds.
madara said:Yeah I should stop being cheapstake, what do you pay a year?
Mine downloaded the first 3.8 megs in about 10 seconds, then said it couldn't find the tracker for an hour.Alex said:That's odd, for me the patch downloaded in like 10 seconds.
madara said:Aye my friend is making BE paladin tonight, just was inquiring if this quest is not blantantly obvious or class one.
Seems Blizzard answer to priest being unhappywas to give them a little of the nerf bat in todays patch. Sigh
Fularu said:Shadow priests ARE overpowered, no matter how you slice it or look at it, the priests in need of help are of the Disc/holy kind. Shadow priests have *no room* to complain at all about this (small) nerf to your dots.
I swear the more overpowered a class is, the more they whine about small adjustements (ZOMG they nerfed mages /cry /whine /hate /emo)
Fularu said:wow, I hate saying that, but god you need to l2p...
SW, SW
, MF, fears, shields are just the tip of the iceberg, not to mention vampiric ambrace.
You really, really have no room for complaints
Friend of mine likes to say if you want to DOT people as a Shadow Priest, you should've rolled a Warlock.
As I said, he said it not me. But maybe it's because in the past he was forced to be a Disc/Holy Priest and has a bone to pick with Shadow Priests due to it.Alex said:That's a pretty awkward thing to say, and can be twisted and turned into so many equally stupid scenarios.

To which I promptly told him why bother being told how to play a game you pay for?

Take that shit to the WoW forums.

then look at (expand) Hardware Resources click Conflicts/Sharing option
are there any things that are sharing the same irqs?
madara said:Ever try to group with real life friend on his first day in mmorpg? :lol I got him to level 9 at least. Since he has shadow priest partner I would imagine I should tell him start filling out that Ret Talent tree?
vumpler said:Ok I'm just going to assume that not many of you guys have played a shadow priest at 60... It's pathetic when you see a shadow priest at 61 go to help his friends in uldaman and they still wipe on the last boss... Then you see any other class go in there and its a joke... Not because the priest didn't know "h2p" to use your reference...
For a shadow priest ~40 level characters are the devil... 1: VE/VT and nearly ineffective. To get "5%" of all the shadow damage you deal over 15 seconds is a gimmick at best. It costs 800mana to cast, then you cast SWon em, then what mind flay? You don't really get anything back. If anything it wasn't worth it because of the 800 mana lost... Then if you get 4 level 40's around you its over, you can't do enough damage quick enough to heal yourself because mind flay gets owned hardcore so it never channels fully. Then what are you supposed to do? Oh ya you die..
On level 61 characters its a joke too. It takes near 4k mana to get something down without dieing.
Yea I know priests are the healer class but my god soloing is terrible. I'm not 62 yet because I've been working the shammy but outside of having to run instances its pretty pathetic. It's nice knowing you have the option and get to participate like any other class (dps) And just the standard progression of 60+ priests (and the lack of) if you're a priest you have to main heal. No one wants you to DPS. (We did come into an awkward situation the other day and we had 2 priests on. I did DPS while our other priest healed and I finished right behind our mage for DPS (no rogues..) But this is incredibly rare to have 2 healers on like that. We don't have any holy priests in our guild and all the druids are basically feral. We have 486 characters on the roster (only 164 actual people) So its a smaller guild. They've made resto druids so good at healing that the argument that the priest is "dead" isn't that far off. In any other game I've played, if you're a priest esque character you're a healer period. But wow gives you that sense at the start that this isn't like other games. You can choose to be a healer or you can own with DPS. But that's not the case later with the mana inefficiency. In all games if you're a healer you're damn good at what you do and you're the only one that can do it, respectively. Now Holy Pally's and Resto druids can pretty much do everything a priest can do oh and I almost forgot, they can solo like its nothing...
I did hear that one of my guildies when he was in ony was leading DPS and HPS as a shadow priest. I really want to call this bullshit because you can't possible be doing that much damage to heal THAT MUCH. I've yet to see a scenario where being shadow using VT/VE SWand MB with MF able to keep a tank up. Not once... I've tried everything I could to do this in blood furnace and the other new low level 60's instance and its just not happening... Given I'm only T1 and outlands greens its still hella frustrating. I've seen every other class at least excel at what they do really well with the patch and the priest really hasn't made much progression... PW
seems gimmicky at 62 but I guess that 1200 could be nice but I can't really comment because I don't have experience with it...
Any class outside of the priest feels like a great class to have at 60+ right now. So Ive decided to only play my priest rested and have the shammy as my main. Already halfway rested through 62 so its not bad...
I hate to feel like another bitching WoW guy, but that's exactly what it is.

I disagree with a lot of that, because I've been jumped by pallies and found that I can actually outlast them. Mana tide makes all the difference.firex said:So I played my 60 shaman for a little bit and I'm wondering: when is Blizzard going to take this class out of the gutter?
Epic riding skill is 540g with the 10% faction discount (assuming you're honoured ... not sure how you couldn't be). The mount itself is 90g with the 10% discount, so you could save yourself some money by getting 90 marks (30 each) for the PvP mount. Or you could just make 90g in the Outlands, which is probably faster.SyNapSe said:I have the Marks to just get a stupid Black Horse.. is it 80g for the riding skill? Did it come down? I heard the price of the epic mounts was dropped.
