I had it easy in regular instances (except MgT) but all those instances are easy anyway... The thing I hate is there's not a good balance between their heals. Chain Heal + Healing Wave are by far better than Lesser Healing Wave but LHW is what you need to use to heal multiple people unless they're all melee.
I don't know, I definitely need better gear but the options are 1) pug instances (where people won't take me because I have like 860 healing instead of 1k) or 2) grind honor for welfare epics. I just decided to go back to enhance because I get more out of healing from gear than I do from talents. Plus I really need to grind gold since it's my only 70 on the server I'm on.
I could probably use better pointers on gearing up a healer. I know you need to max out on +healing and not much else for a resto shaman, but I don't know what's attainable beyond crap off the AH like Essence Focuser without joining instances, which I still have no luck doing on my shaman.

But still not as heavily as a resto druid, who can legitimately go 0/0/61.firex said:

Realistically the only ones you need for any situation
5 mans and raids do not need healing touch or tranquility or the stupid other talents that up your physical dmg
you could make an argument for the crit stike one natural perfection but anything else is just wasted
Yeah, essentially a 61 Resto Shaman can be viable but you are giving up some other abilities that might help boost you a little. Technically going 61 Resto Shaman is gimping your own services.
I haven't played WoW in almost 2 months, but I would like to create a Death Knight. I like magic-based classes so a DK is something I've been looking for in awhile - heck I remember tanking half-successfully as a damn Enhance Shaman till lvl 20s :lol I tried getting into Warrior and even Druid but they just aren't for me.
As usual there are going to be tons of people who are going to roll as a DK, but I really don't think many of them will stick around. It seems like the class will be a mix-mash of abilities and some players who already own tanks or magic classes will most likely go back to their mains.

I have a shaman sitting at 57. Is there a bleak future of resto ahead of me? Can I make my way as enhance or will I have to heal for badges to get DPS gear like I do on my paladin? (only with tanking) Its too much work gathering more than one set of gear for me anymore.

For PvE every spec of the Shaman is complete gold. Especially if you're Alliance. At least on my server there were *NEVER* any unguilded Resto Shamans.
For PvP, I haven't been around to see the effects of the last patch. When I left Elem was a common staple in 5v5, Resto was OK and Enhancement was uphill.
I'm sure that's at least somewhat different for the better now though.

Having not seen 2.3K war/druid teams I'll take your word for it that you need to do that stuff in high end 2v2. I was just saying that for the most part, most of the warr/druid teams can roll their face on their keyboard up to at least 1850 without having to learn any real strat. All my druid friends are feral or balance so I haven't done 2v2 on my warrior really so like I said, I'll take your word for it.
Well then WTF dude? You started this whole argument with me by calling me out and making these douchebag assumptions about my ratings (because that's all that matters?) because someone else asked what spec they should go for a rogue for PVP and I said shadowstep after I called another poster dumb for a grammatical error.
Before 2.3 shadowstep was the biggest joke of a 41 point talent. Let's not forget the laughable history of the talent, which had Stealth/Out of Combat requirements, a shorter range, and no movement increasing speed. I would actually still say that it needs to be a bit more tweaked, but that's a different story. At the time HARP was strong (in retrospect retardedly strong) and Blizz, without much warning, took it away from the rogue community less than a month after S3 began based on the fact that the rogue class got a sweeping buff and they deemed it too powerful. So they nerfed rogue hybrid specs but warriors and warlocks continue to run rampant with their hybrid PVP specs. I think we're strong now for sure, but it took until S3 before the class started to see the higher arena brackets.
I bitch about the rogue class because its my first and favorite class, having played over 100 days on mine. I never acted like rogues were bottom of the barrel (that goes to feral druids, enhancement shamans, and boomkin druids) but the rogue class has had some stupid requirements and changes made to it. I've rode the roller coaster of the class for the past few years and TBC for the most killed the classic rogue (i.e. stealthing, quick kills, and restealthing). Unfortunately a lot of that was lost with TBC and everyone having 10K health and the introduction of resilience. Now it's like we're almost warriors.
So I dunno dude I mean you obviously know a lot but I don't see why you have to be so condescending or aggressive in your posts. This is GAF, not the WoW forums. Let's just have some fun discussions without having to resort to that level.

You done the Mudsprocket quests in Dustwallow Marsh yet? Those were added in 2.3, they're BC-like in design, which means really intuitive, linear and good rewards.
There's shimmering flats too, the big white sands area in Thousand Needles if you run out in Dustwallow.
Probably some stuff in the Badlands too.
You're in a pretty rough spot, I hate the late 30's. But as time went on, I became a cheating bitch and started using a leveling guide, because seemingly no matter how many times I leveled, I would forget *EVERYTHING* and struggle at certain points to find good, painless quest routes.
BC really made the old world so awkward to play in.

Lately I just try to solo stuff on my Mage in wow for kicks
I can completely solo all the lower level instances (duh) other than Uldaman since you need people to use the stupid pillars. Really fun to do everything up to first locked door in Deadmines in one pull. Or the entire ship at the end in one pull...or Stockades in 2 pulls (did it in one pull once but I had insane buffs that were a pain to get...the stuns kills you fast in there)
Mara and ZF can be fun
I can also solo BRD, LBRS including all bosses/trash
Any DM trash, all of DM east, some of the rest can be hard but haven't tried much since it is a pain to get there.
I never made an UBRS key so once I finish making it (got all the stuff from 1 LBRS clear lol) I will try UBRS stuff solo.
Any trash up to 3 at once in Outlands instances....haven't tried to solo any bosses there yet.
Fun stuff...
Really fun to take a low level person on a solo run and let them get all the loot. Especially for stuff where you can do massive AOE killing. I have been known to level people on a pull lol

I hit 40 with my hunter today
Should I look to start wearing mail armour right away? Or compare leather and mail and then decide?

Cool
Leatherworking is at 195 so I should be able to make some mail pieces sooner rather than later

I've been away from this game for a long time now (I think I stopped playing in the middle of last summer?). But there's an itch. A great, nagging itch. It wants me to return.
And I don't know if I should. My 70 mage (epic'd out nicely from when I last played) is still sitting on my account with a few other alts. I think the main reason to return would be to start a new character and revisit the entire WoW experience again (alliance side; the barrens sucks). But I could also see my mage being picked up by a raiding guild. And that would require investments of time that I DO have, but might not want to spend purely on WoW.
I don't know if I should come back.
Sighhhhhhhhh.

If you still want to play the good guys, you can skip barrens entirely and go through the superior ghostlands zone. imo it's pretty easy to not raid anymore after all the shit I went through doing it pre-TBC. I'm sure the actual raiding is easier, but dealing with a large guild which will undoubtedly have some annoying teenagers in it along with a few attention whore girls isn't worth it.winnarps said:
I just rolled a feral Tauren druid and after going whole-hog to 25, I am left wondering if I should continue to roll Feral until end game or if I should respec balance or resto early.
I don't suppose I can expect being a feral druid doing end-game content to be very effective, can I?

yeah, you can do feral raiding. I don't know how much tanking they do past like, all the introductory stuff, but they can do tanking or dps depending upon their sets, and they're a good addition to dps groups. All 3 druid specs are good for raiding. people just tend to ignore balance because they think it's gonna steal warlock/mage loot when they don't realize how it can buff every caster class, plus melee, plus even provide some good backup healing.
I bought a new subscription card on Saturday and almost immediately regretted it. I just couldn't get into playing any of my high level characters. And then I made a few decisions that have me back in love with the game:
1) Switched to Horde. Stayed on the same server (PVE) and pushed like 3k gold Horde side. My first character was Horde, but that poor Tauren Hunter didn't get past Crossroads. So this is already the furthest I've taken a Horde character.
2) Rolled a class (and to a lesser extent, race) that I've always wanted to play extensively - Blood Elf Rogue.
3) Turned the sound on for the first time in what has to be more than a year.
Anyhow, here's Brainy, my new and future main:

Can anyone give me some advice on getting gold quickly? I finlly got my rogue to lvl40 and I only have 41 gold. It's not like I overly spend money either. sually only on repairing my equipment and buying poison supplies and food.
And what this new bullshit about ret pallys being overpowered now? I thouht a few months ago they were the biggest pile of shit ever, and now that they are equal they are considered overpowered and need the balance stick?

With my latest character I had 145 gold at level 40 and I had even bought stuff from the AH at some points
I was a skinner/miner until level 20
Then I picked up leatherworking and just sold almost everything I made and excess leather when I didn't need it anymore
I also AH'ed every green item I couldn't used

I usually undersell greens/blues compared to the retards that buy up green eagle cloth and sell it for 20g apiece. I don't really care if I'm not theoretically maximizing profits as long as I make some extra gold.
I did that on my pally (plus sold ore/JC blues, right after TBC started) starting out with 90g, and made 2k+ by 70 even frequently buying blues in the AH.
