Here it is folks:

I’m hoping to make this my last since it does manage to start costing too much to continue my experiments in researching the perfect non-pvp shaman spec. This one hopefully gives me the best of the Restoration tree with a few fun bonuses from the Enhancement tree (gotta keep 2H-maces/axes if I spent all that time in Alterac Valley trying to get the Unstoppable Force, right?).

If I weren’t jobless right now, I’d be looking for the equipment and software necessary to capture video of our raiding efforts in case something ridiculoulsly cool happens like oh, a shaman tanking Baron Rivendare for example.  Dixi was all about the heals, the two mages (Unezerest and Necromage) threw down more than their fair share of DPS and AOE, and with a few well-timed self-heals and one major healing potion later, the Baron dropped to his shakey knees gasping with his last breath, “BLIZZ: NERF TEH SHAMMIES PLZ!”

Boom baby!

If you’d like me to: “[summon] a Mana Spring Totem with 5 health at the feet of the caster for 24 sec that restores 27 mana every 2 seconds to group members within 20 yards. ” every 3 minutes while in group situations. Please help me run through Sunken Temple to get the feathers. I’ve been in there partway once before with a really crappy pug (I pretended to be lagging just so I could watch them die as I neglected to tank/heal/care).

If you have elemental earth, wind, fire, and water, you might want to help poor Maanae out by donating one of each so she can get on this quest too. If she’s gonna be Resto spec, she’ll be an in-combat drinking fountain like the mages out of combat. Either way. All guild shamans need this trinket. No excuses, just too good to pass up.

Friday night saw Scarlet Stratholme utterly destroyed. Although Gorysh’s shoulder armor wasn’t handed out, several other phat lewt was, including Dixi’s new gloves.

Saturday, however, wasn’t all about loot. It was all about Hunters. Hunters conquering BRD, to be exact. Jalo, Bomosnipah, Ganeda, and myself went into BRD to help Bomo with several quests (and I’m not sure if we actually helped him finish any). Paed was also along for the ride, mostly as a target… He had a score to settle with Argelmach. We had a few deaths here and there, mine being the first (before Paed arrived, and insufficient MP to FD), and Paed being most frequent… but, he is undead, so that makes sense.

Bael’gar, Incendius, Golem Lord Argelmach, Fineous Darkvire, and the arena were all taken care of without much incident. DPS and off-tanking was obscene. Paed complained about the pethealing, something about double-assisting, or something. Silly priests. =]

Greetings from your neighborhood hunk of totem-flingin’ beef, Ungulataur. I clicked on the talent preview for the expansion (I highly recommend you do the same) and discovered to my delight that everyone’s pretty much getting a shot of steroids (or in Tauren’s case: you guessed it, STEERoids).

Here’s what I mean.

Totem of Wrath: 20yd range, 20sec duration, improves friendly spell-casters’ chance to crit by 10%.

Totemic Mastery: the radius of effect on friendly targets by your totems is increased by 30yds.

Obviously, Blizzard wants shamans on BOTH sides of the faction fraction to get their shamans raiding but this is ridiculous. By the way, Enhancement shamans get DUAL WIELD. That’s right ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we clearly have a case of pre-meditated un-nerfing.
