The guild woes continue.
Though there haven't been any bubble hearths on failed attempts since the last time, things are getting somewhat worse. The officers of the guild have seen fit to institute a "no talking" policy on raid nights. This includes raid chat and our TS server. Only officers are allowed to say anything during a boss fight over TS. That means not to call for healing, not to announce if you're a cube clicker and die, banish timers, aggro gains, etc. Supposedly, they are to watch everyone and continue to DPS, tank, heal, etc.
On a positive note, we did manage to down Loot Reaver the other night despite one officer bitching that if we hadn't been talking or whatever, we could have done it faster. Why can't I find another guild on my server that only raids two nights a week?

I'd just gquit and form a new guild with other people who hate the officers of that guild. No reason to go along with that bullshit if you don't like it, especially not for stupid purple items.
Anyway, I'm surprised to hear shadowstep is the new hotness in pvp. I figured it wouldn't be that great with all the anti-burst damage Blizz has put into pvp now, but I guess it's still good at killing cloth and/or locking down healers.

I am a raider.. and if a raider begs to differ. go stfu. I had one guild really recently talk me down like I was a kid.. because of a suggestion I made in Zul' Aman (yes I've completed the whole thing several times, first time raiding it with this guild) and yeah.. I was like fuck this.. waited until the end.. needed everything ppl passed on (guild leader didn't master loot.. oh so sad).. got all the drops and de'd it all in front of them.

Again Arena fucks up PVE.
Blizz is getting to be no better than SOE.
The funny part is that this is just to shut up the crying. Its not going to affect anything.
Live = 751 per tick. (3 stack)
PTR = 702 per tick. (3 stack)
I'll still try resto in arena, just because even though it sounds weak it can't be as bad off as elemental. But if that sucks, then I'll just do a few heroics/day and daily quests instead. It's not like I won't be splitting time between my shaman and a death knight when I unlock that class in WotLK anyway.
The guild I was playing with was going fine and dandy. Then BAM, some drama stemming way before my time splits the guild in two leaving a bunch of us wondering what to do. It's all for some stupid, fucked up, asinine reason too. Just completely sapped away all the fun I was having with the game.
I guess it was just time for a break. So pretty close to finally going to outland too. =/

Went into Hyjal for the first time. Holy shit, Rage is 30x as big a joke as you could possibly expect even knowing going in that he's a joke. WTB more mobs with no armor.
:lol Kalgan stepping into the Shaman forums is hilarious. It is the last place he really wanted to be I think, but considering the giant uproar from the community Blizzard might have forced him to go in as damage control.VaLiancY said:
I'm glad to see that he knows what the problems are, but they've been talking about fixing the totem system for over a year now. Their fix was Totemic Recall - something that should have been in the game for the class since day 1.
I hate to say it but the only buffs that will fix the nerfs in regards to helping out in PVP aspects are some anti-CC abilities.. Tremor totem is a start but I'd like to see an actual ability to go along with it. A Shaman caught in the hit zone is a dead one. It'd boost Enhancement up the ranks quite a lot, as well as give Restoration a chance to gain some ground (Ghost Wolf is a start, but needs talents to make it instant cast and it has no anti-CC/snare abilities like a Druid).

Disc is awesome, Priests complaining that aren't Shadow are just being babies. The change to PI didn't do shit, and the class on the whole is still great leveling, grinding, farming, dungeons, raids, bgs, 2v2, 3v3, 5v5.
Priest has more total representation in arena than WARRIOR does. I think that says enough on it's own.
What I still want to hear, concerning Shamans, is if Heroism/Bloodlust really does drop the GCD as everyone keeps saying it does now. If someone has a Shaman at 70 and can hit the PTR and answer that for me, it'd be a big help!

or just have a guild with real life friends/work mates.Bregor said:
i don't think our guild master stresses about anything ever in the game.
of course we don't do raid content, but we go on random PvP raids on alliance towns, or help a fellow guildy with their alt by running them through instances like SFK etc. or just do some battlegrounds together. good times.

My 70s include a warlock (yawn at 70 pvp) a rogue which I love but I'm not playing anymore until they fix mutilate and the must be behind enemy bullshit when I am in pvp... a disc priest which is ok but not that fun, then I got a mage to 70 last week and decided that same day "why did I bother when mages for just weaker locks?" so now I'm leveling another toon, I think I'll get my warrior to 70 this time lol.bengraven said:That's it? Must not play much.
I've played quite a bit with every class and I still find my warrior to be probably the least fun to level. But being 70, PvP is a HELL of a lot of fun with him.

Another big reason I say this is because I have a friend who ditched his warrior at 60 when BC came out because he started playing a shammie and fell in love. He ended up leveling his shammie and hunter to 70 before he ever got the warrior there.
Damn, though, my warrior is suddenly fun once I hit 70.

I don't want anything to do with huntards either A recent change to the patch notes mention a reduction in cast time of Ghost Wolf from 3s to 2s - which would mean Improved Ghost Wolf would reduce the cast time to instant. It's already being looked at favorably on the PTR. It's a start.speedpop said:
If they included the druid shifting anti-cc ability to it, that'd be sweet - but if they gave that to shamans, discovered it was too powerful, then took it back, god help Blizzard from the unleashed rage.
I have 5 70s myself and I have to say playing a feral druid is the most fun of them all.
70 Mage, Druid, Warrior, Shaman and Rogue.
Theres just so much you can do as a feral and it can really train newer players for other classes. You got your healing spec, tank/dps spec and caster class. Dump that paladin and make a druid.

I was stuck between a warrior and a druid as my 5th 70.. I'm at 37 so far on my warrior and having fun. Only at 13 on my druid cause he puts me to sleep =\ Supposed to get better at 20 with cat form I hear but holy crap, druids are just so bad and boring before that.
I never found my druid any more fun after I got cat form, which is why I dropped him at 23, but that was before 2.0. So maybe they actually are fun after 20, but all I felt was massive disappointment that cat form was literally like one of my old guildmates said, "retarded rogue form."
I second the awesomeness of leveling a warrior, though. It's expensive (hence why I wouldn't do it as a main) but so fun when you have good gear, because you are just an unstoppable god in solo. Honestly though, leveling an enhance shaman now kind of feels like leveling a fury warrior, just without plate, with heals, and no rage. It's kind of boring sometimes because you just use stormstrike, wait for WF procs and crits, and then hit earth shock, but it's also fun in the grander scheme of things because my shaman kills fast and only needs green weapons to do so.
edit: also, with regards to the ghost wolf argument, I would do as follows:
1) Make ghost wolf instant cast by default
2) Make ghost wolf immune to poly and break snares/roots
3) Make druid travel form available at level 20
Then they're both evenly balanced, and the druid gets their travel skill at the same time everyone else who gets one does.

Something like that would work. There was a suggestion on the thread Kalgan kamikaze'd onto about keeping the Ghost Wolf talent there but changing it so the spell is instant cast and the talent now boosting immunity to poly, break snares/roots by 33%, 66%, 100%. Of course it creates another hassle in an already bloated end talent tree, but you know what Blizzard are like.firex said:
