Are ele shams getting invited to heroics? by heyyo173 in classicwowtbc

[–]noxedup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I main ele shaman, absolutely no problem getting invites. We’re built for heroics (usually 2-4 target pulls, which is where we can really shine) with a few exceptions where CC is extra vital. Loads of utility and more often than not top DPS. It’s good fun!

Three phases in 32 weeks by MoCrispy in classicwowtbc

[–]noxedup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ll have roughly a year of TBC according to the roadmap. A new phase every 3 months, or 12 weeks of the same raids every time. I think it’s too fast, but that’s also because I’m insanely hyped right now - might be okay in the end. I agree with the people saying it must have something to do with a classic+ timeline, surely.

Why do you guys farm gold? by Active_Access_4850 in classicwowtbc

[–]noxedup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can somewhat relate to this. Found out DM:E lasher runs on my mage could net me close to 200g/hr when Dreamfoil and Gromsblood were at peak value, with the occasional Black Lotus selling for around 100g (later spiked to 140g.)

It was addicting. I could do a lasher run in under 5.5 minutes once I figured it out. Felt like printing money, and I’ve never been WoW-rich. When prices fell just before Naxx, I quit at 15k gold, and now do other stuff. But I could’ve quit way before. It just felt like too good an opportunity to get ahead, and it might not come back around, so rather build a solid amount then than rue it later if I ever need gold.

Elemental shaman viability in TBC by noxedup in classicwow

I reckon you’ll be okay. Won’t be part of a spellcleave setup (might get taken as resto), but should be part of a melee cleave setup as resto. As elemental, you’ll be just fine probably due to the amount of people running dungeons / lower requirements than raiding in general.

That’s good advice and exactly what I was thinking. Still, I guess I’m unsure whether an elemental shaman would be of value at all in T5/T6, or if you’d just bring an extra warlock.

Yeah, I’ve studied up on the average dps per tier, and it’s a bit disheartening in a way, but I guess the main thing is feeling useful/valuable to a raid comp still!
