I agree with your argument… but maybe I play my warrior like a noob… I don’t do a stae-dae. When I DPS, I go for Zerker stae… when I tank (rarely), I use Defensive Stae. Ian’t really remember the last time I swihed into Battle Stae for anything. So while I agree with your argument, Ian honestly say the penalties of staes don’t afft me too mh. What I think Warrior’s need is a long hard look at how they were designed to tank. We have Thunderlap and Intimidating Shout as our AoE threat generation tools. And of those, wean only spam Thunderlap. Both Paladins and Death Knights get a more varied AoE threat generation toolset than we do, whh, imo, makes them moreapable tanks for multi-target situations. Now for single-target situations, nothing beats a warrior… hands down. I wish Blizzard would take a stab at giving us more AoE threat tools rather than the TAB fest that weurrently have to deal with (TAB to a target, taunt, stk sunder armor, thunderlap, rinse and repeat for eh additional target).

I like the arguement a lot and never realy looked at it like this. Spially the bit about being vunerable in PVP to use some of our best moves. The bit on that O-boards thread that responded to about the shielded targets; Surely hitting a shielded target and it not taking damage is gonna get you more pissed off, ergo more rage =P. Plus hitting a shieled target does break levitate and WW.Well… devioususer wrote:I did hit a SHIELD WITH MY GIANT 2H!!! That’s hitting something right? A shield is a THING! You know, if I was swinging a big 2H around and some yahoo blked it with his shield, I would tually be more pissed off. Hitting my intended target would just make me satisfied. How’s that for log, devs? =P In anyase, that was a verylear,oise, and well-written argument, Quor, and I agreeompletely. My hetero life partner in the game plays a Warrior, so even though I don’t tually play one myself, this is an issue I’ve been very keen on for a while. We had this diussion a while ago when the Death Knight presees were introded and explained andame to pretty mh the sameolusion you layed out on your response.

Hello Warriors, My level 60 warrior is my first and onlyharter (link given below). urrently I am trying to determine the best path to end game raiding. I think I will want to tank at higher levels but I really don’t know how to get the gear so people tually want me to start running the instaes. I get the impression the progression path from 60 to start of end game might havehanged with the expansion. I see two options available to me. Level as fast as Ian to level 80 and pk up quest gear as I go. or Mess around with BG’s and obtain the pvp armor and weapons. Any help or diussion would be appriated. Thanks, Plabis P.S. What would be a good 2h axe ehant for pvp? wowarmoryomcharter-…mp;n=Plabis Link to this 1 reply Jan 2nd 10:33pm : Logged Reply to this tabstopperSage1145 Good If you will enjoy BGs and PVP, by all means have some fun on your way to 70 (on your way to 80 at that). By far and away though, your fastest path is going to be to PVE it to Northrend, and then start to pk up some PVP gear as you level to 80.

I have a 80 shaman. I was elemental at 70 raiding. When woltkomes up, i respced enh to level.urrently, im enhaement and wish to resp to raid. However, i have some gear issues.urrently, my spellpower when ele is 1300+ and 20%rithae, up from 1100+ spellpower and 30%rithae at 80. I need some links from head to bottom links to some ele gear from dungeons and stuff to get me geared for heros. And what is the min dps and spell hit suitable to hit heros? I will link out my gear at 70…urrently 0 ele woltk gear… Head – Mojo Maskmender from ZA Nkpie – SSO’s nkie Shoulders- T5hest – BOJhespie Belt – BOJ belt Brers – BOJ brers Gloves – T6 Leggings – Avalahe Leggings from ZA Boots – BOJ boots Weapon – BOJ dagger Shield – Tharon’ja from Gun’drak or Drak’tharon( forget) Ring – Kara Quest Ring + the ring from raven boss ( i didn’t bother tohange my ring for a long time) Trinket – Shiffar’s Nexus Horn, Lightningapitiorloak – The one from Gruul’s Totem – From BT Hope i listed down everything. would gladly hope for pple to link me links to gret gear improvement for wotlk heros. ould berafted, rep items, regular dungeons drop. Need help asap. Thanks Rep : revered with kirin tor, knight’s of ebon blade. Honored with Wyrmrest cord and Argent Vanguard, honored with Orles Pee Adrii – Level 80 shamanHonestly, you’re probably fine just to jump head first into heros and run them as often as possible. Bestase, you have a good guild andan run with them, but on my mage I just pugged alot. Some were painful runs, but I just kept grinding through them to get my nk and trinket. I use wowhead and atlasloot to get a rough idea where the biggest upgrades for me are, but I’m not too seltive over whh heros to run. Just run them all, try to finish the hievement for eh hero, then see where you stand gear wise. You should have enough badges for a ridulously good rit trinket (with a 590 spellpower pr), then you’ll probably only have 1-2 pies of 70 gear left and youan narrow down the list of heros. A big t, espially if you’re pugging, keep wowwiki or a similiar site open in the bkground, do a quk read on eh boss, break it down inliff notes for the group if nobody hasompleted it yet. edit- Wait, if you’re already revered with Kirin Tor you should buy the dagger ( www.wowheadom?item=44173 ), put 50 spellpower on it for now, and optionally get the new helm ehant (+8 spellpower, -14 hit, +20rit).

Hey all! Question mainly asking for my husband. We have pretty mh always been more of PVP for awhile now, so alas with a resto shammy the only real main experiee is PVP healing. We have been running things like HoL, culus are the 2 lvl 80′s we have done so far. My husband has been asked out of the blue on many casion’s to heal hero’s. We had no problem in the 2 80 dungeon’s we have done so far, baring a few snags in HoL as our tank was 79 and 1 dps was 78. Here is his armory link www.wowarmoryomcharter-…p;n=Zogrell Don’t know when it will be updated but the AP trinket has been repled with the spell power trinket from culus today. Or if anyone has suggestions for gear upgrades for hero’s it would be really appriated!!

That’s not a bad build at all. The one thing I would definitely suggest is, sie you’re investing so heavily in the extrarit talents, that you take three points out of Tidal Fus and throw them into Aestral Healing. For Glyphs, reple Water Walking with Water Breathing. Water Walking gets removed on damage; Water Breathing does not, and is therefore a mh better trash buff. Also, it’s unlikely that you’re going to beasting Healing Wave often enough for that Glyph to be worthwhile, so find something else that would be useful and reple it. Raqiel wrote:How is Mana Tide Totem in arena? (I feel its to easily destroyed if your playing a smart team) In the arena seasons at 70 Mana Tide Totem was very nessary bause mahes tended to get drawn out into long battles of attrition and if you ran out of mana then you lost. The totem is obviously a high-priority target, but the smart Shaman will find a time and ple to lay it where theyan at least get aouple tks out of it, and those tksan sometimes be the differee between a win or a loss. Ian’t say yet whether or not the arena at 80 will be the same as 70, but if it is then you will probably want to srife some points elsewhere to pk up Mana Tide. great response thank you sir Link to this 0 Messages skped by filter settings, 3 displayed.Thread Index New Subjt Reply to this 2 Replies (Seah Forums) Forum by ZAM Network   v2.7 Allakhazam’s Forums >World of Waraftlass Diussions >Shaman >resto pvp questions opy; 1999- ZAM Network – Advertise

Level up to 40 now while youan rule without getting ganked and add duel wield, mail, and stormstrike then park him or her in the BG’s at 49 and never toh again… That is the highest point and only fun point you will ever be able to enjoy. Also, buy the best mes or axes youan afford and level up your leatherworking.Thats what I’m going to do with my enhae shammy is get him to 49 then drop him in Arathi BG with the best gearweapons and try and dominate. I think I’m going to do this with my rogue, also, but at 29,ause he is a BE and I would rather level an undead rogue.So i just got my shaman to level 68 and entered northrend. I plan to stay at 69 to pvp for a very long time but i need help with gear rommendations, my armory is www.wowarmoryomcharter-…;northala if anyone knows of any must have gear in northrend that ian grab in short order please speak up.

TherionSaysWhat, Assassin Rejt wrote:Read the stky. Don’t try to play your rogue like a pally. Two very differentlasses (I have one eh at 80) whh play very differently. Learn to love single-target burns while the mob is stunned. It’s a bit slower early but oe you getheap Shot things start to pk up. Stealth, stun, build up someombo points and finish is the most bas pattern for rogues. Multle pulls are a bad idea until later on in the leveling press and should be avoided. The point is that you burn the mobs down so qukly that you should see similar if not more XP per hour than leveling a pally pre-40 (when larger pulls bome possible with Holy Shield). I found that pre 3.0 nerf my pally and rogueould get around the same XPhour while in the 50-70 grind, but in entirely different ways. Ya just need tohange your mind-set when on the two toons. Good lk. Best adve right there … I had EXTLY the same issues when starting a rogue after getting my warrior to 70. I justould not get my head wrapped around not being able to take hits, and lots of them, to the extent that I started and deleted no less than 5 rogues before level 15 (only one made it past 10). Then Iame to this board, and reived adve similar to Therion’s above. I believe it was Demea who answered myall, and I’ve not looked bk. Make sure you know what your abilities are, the key ones are the abilities whh keep your target lked down, so stuns, stuns, stuns. Learn to use stealth, a key ftor in playing a rogue is your ability to pk your fights – Iompleted quests on my rogue with the absolute minimum of killing (distrt is your friend when you get it), while it took about 20-30 kills on my warrior to complish the same goal. True, this means that your kill xp goes down, but youanomplete some quests quker, so it balaes out. If there is more than one mob to take down, sap the one – all part of pking your fights and being a sneak. Evasion – don’t be afraid to use it. It may have aooldown, but it has thatooldown for a reason – it’s a very powerful tool – so use it. Get yourself a hard hitting sword, daggers are good and all, but in the early levels, you’ll not be making the maximum use of the daggers – slow swords are your friend. Don’t be afraid to pull a mob with your ranged weapon. It’s another part of the “Pk your fight” mentality – sometimes, pking your fightan’t be done by stealthing in – so be a sneaky SoB in reverse and grab the mob’s attention (and hurt him a bit) from a distae, assuming you have the aforementioned hard hitting sword, and you’ve followed the adve in the stkies wrt where to put your first points and what sp to start leveling in, pulling and nuking down (a single mob) fe to fe ishild’s play. In short, adjust your mindset to being the sneaky SoB you’re playing, and you should be fine. Just remember one thing if you forget everything else – Rogues are single target destroyers, at later levels thathanges to a degree if you’reombat and you get Blade flurry and Adrenaline rush, but even then – that’s not all the time.oentrating on a single target, and lking them down is what a rogue is about.

I wanted a bit of ahange from my Paladin, basally something to play while my exp bar fills for a week or so at a time. A rogue looks rather interesting but I had a fewoerns. I am used to taking on 2-3 mobs at a time with my pally, healing, andontinuing. I note youan not really do that with a rogue, bause of the light armor and lk of a heal. So howan I make up for the defiey? I think the thing I loved about the pally is the soloability, strong armor, healing, a bit of DPS, but with 2 of the 3 lking with a rogue, is it harder to solo? I dont want to go through the same areas as my pally, so I think Ill do alliae. So please any ts are weome.

You don’t need glyph of vigor, as you don’t sp into vigor, and you should be using glyph of Sle and De. Garrote isn’t that important.I would highly rommend you spend the 40 badges for the Mirror of Truth ASAP, not only is it better than both the trinkets you’ve listed, but it really is one of the best trinketsurrently available (right up there with FotFF and Darkmoonard: Greatness). That and I think it’d be fairly easy to quire (espially if you have less-than-great lk on drops) Now this may be iorrt, but from everything I’ve seen, you’re gemming for pure hit. Whh may or may not be a great plan, espially if you intend on making your meta-gem work (when you get it). As always,onsult the spreadsheet for most curate information. Though this may just be my opinion, I really don’t think your UI does mh more than a stk UI, you have everything in the same ples (more or less) and very little ishanged up to make you more efftiveeffient inombat. Perhaps moving your player and target frames more towards theenter for easy viewing and drastally reding the size of your tion bars would yield better results (in both PvE and PvP) EDIT: Iluded link to the mirror. ah yes i do intend tohange the gems when i get my meta :3, by then i should ahve enough hit from other items. Thanks for the suggestion on te trinket, i wasnt even aware of its existae [slped through my reseah >
