A cool video showing the new zones in WoW's next expansi...
This weeks maintenance came on Tuesday and with in a new Trial of the Crusader raid boss. This new boss is called Faction Champions. The first thing I am going to comment about is finally a decent degree of difficulty from a boss in the new instance. Faction Champions is a PvP arena style fight against your opposite faction. Each week your raid will be drawing a different mix of Races, Classes and Specs. Our raid drew this combination: Warrior, DK, Enhancement Shaman, Pally(heals), Druid(heals),...
Barb of TarasqueLast we we covered a few of the items you should be aiming for in Trial of the Crusader 10 man. this week we will cover the 25 man version and the loot elemental shamans should be looking to acquire. This 25 man instance will drop some Best in Slot Elemental or BiS gear so if you are looking to upgrade your Ulduar gear this is the instance for you. Hopefully you guild has been able to get through Northrend Beasts and Jaraxxus and if you were lucky a few elemental items have dropped....
With more information about WoW's next expansion Cataclysm coming out from MMO Champion data miners we have learned Alliance faction players will probably be able to roll a dwarf shaman. This is good news for Alliance players who do not like the looks of spacegoat shamans. Now this has not been confirmed yet so it may change but I like the idea of a dwarf shaman. It seems to make sense the the dwarfs would have shamans as a class.Currently shaman players are limited to a few Races. You can be a...
I just wanted to take a quick moment to congratulate my guild Method of Hakkar(US) on their first Yogg-Saron Heroic kill. Even tho the patch has come with a little nerf to Yogg the fight still retains the majority of the elements that make the fight a challenge for raiding guilds.As an elemental shaman this fight does allow us to show off some dps. The movement factor of this encounter is not as bad as some of the others in Ulduar. Phase 1 requires very little movement depending on the startegy...
This will be a 4 part posting on the new raid instance Trial of the Crusader. This new raid comes in 4 flavors. Normal 10 and 25 man versions and 10 and 25 man heroic versions. I will breaking down the loot Elemental Shamans should be looking to acquire. This week we will start with the normal 10 man version.Trial of the Crusader 10 Man NormalAll of the loot dropped in this 10 man raid is ilvl 232 which will be an upgrade to the gear from Ulduar 25. Both Alliance and Horde factions will have the...
Not that the patch is a few days old I took a couple on minutes to reflect on some of the changes to the emblem system. It looks like farming for emblems has truly brought the player base back to running heroics like Blizzard intended. It will be very easy to gear out your shaman with this new system. I read that you could farm 53 emblems in a single day farming all of the heroics. Those emblems will allow you to grab 2 pieces of Tier 8.5 gear and fill some needed slots.Keep in mind you can change...
So Patch day is here and I want to know what will be the first things you do when the servers come up? Obviously we will all set up our new totem bars, but then what? Head to the new Crusader's Coliseum instance, run the dailys to get your first Triumph Badges, start working on the profession changes, get epic flying on every alt you have, or just stand in Daralan not knowing where to start???It really doesn't matter what your cup of tea is, with so many changes to Azeroth this patch there will...
I have to admit I do like to try out new addons to see which ones can enhance game play and which ones are really fluff. The are a few essential addons every raider should be running like Omen and Recount and there are some that may be personal choice. I like raiding with a clean looking ui and prefer to have the bottom of my screen contain all of my actions bars, recount, chat frames, omen etc.
Some shaman tips I have may be helpful. Keep a single action bar button containing the Lava Burst...
