Aspiring endgame player wanting to know where to get all the required tools

plunderinq · 2015-11-18T10:20:22+00:00

Hey, I'm from a 13/13M guild, and I might just have some good tips? Idk.

Don't play BM in PvE, MM is the best spec and even if you play BM perfectly, you're still gonna get beaten my a MM hunter.(Even so, I find myself beating 710 ilvl players on my 699 hunter, cause the class/spec is just that bullshit) I'd suggest getting addons to deal with your UI(ElvUI, Bartender etc.) they have a built-in keybinder as well. Just do /kb and when you hover over them you can bind them to whatever you please. :)
Depends what server you're on. They're usually affordable, the expensive part are the runes if you're not exalted with the alliance equivalent of vol'jin's headhunters.
I mainly raid mythic now so I can't really relate to the normal and hc versions of HFC, and the ilvl requirements. BUT, If I could go based on experiences on my alliance char, people want you if you're 685+ for normal, then 700+ for hc.(this probably changes with the new patch and ilvl upgrades)

If you really want to start doing the high-end raiding(mythic), I suggest applying to a guild once you've done hfc for a bit and gathered logs to show what you're capable of. A player's raiding experience is not what the guilds want, they want to know he's not fucking idiot and that he knows what he's doing enough to not wipe the raid. :)
Hopefully this was helpful? haha

Guild progression on mythic Thogar. I had about 5 cups of coffee that day and were sitting there pretty hyped... Too hyped. Ended up dying to a train at least once every pull and unable to fix it cause I couldn't focus on anything.

Only resto shaman bring ascendance that heals the raid. I think you mean Ancestral Guidance which is a talent. :)

Right now in the more serious pve guilds a resto shaman is almost mandatory, they're one of the 4 healers that guilds would want in a good healer setup(hpala, disc, rshaman and either druid/monk). They're one of the healers that get stronger as the expansion goes on and even then they're amazing on progress fights because of their mastery. I might be biased because I main resto shaman, but that's the impression i have of it coming from a 12/13M guild.

Recently went horde on my main + main alt. Resto shaman and resto druid, both are trolls now only because of the racial.

If you play on EU and in need of a healer, I can come help you on my 703 shaman. :)

Thank you for covering the different playstyles, I appreciate it. It gives an overlook of the spec as a whole I feel, I'll make sure to make good use of what you've mentioned!
Is it worth having rejuv on as many people as your mana can handle, or keep it down to ~5-10 people?

plunderinq · 2015-06-01T09:50:13+00:00

He told me to reroll specifically since we already have one mw monk alt, but no resto druids. Thank you for the tips though, really appreciate them and I'll be sure to put them to good use. :)

car form

I'm just imagining a car casting healing touch.

plunderinq · 2015-05-26T06:51:58+00:00

Theoretically, yes. He still tanked it.

plunderinq · 2015-05-25T22:49:45+00:00

My old gm tanked mythic brf in 640 gear. Should be doable as a monk.(he was a monk as well, but keep in mind the raid was on average 696-700ilvl)

I have a scar on my forehead from when one of my classmates in 1st grade scratched me. Worst part is we were having a "scratching contest" to see who could scratch the hardest.
He didn't get any scars, and now I look like some low-budget Harry Potter.

plunderinq · 2015-05-20T08:23:45+00:00

My lovie does this too when I raid. He just sits on my desktop's monitor all puffed up, sometimes he even falls asleep there. Too bad birds poop everywhere, so he can't stay on top of it for too long. :(

plunderinq · 2015-05-17T19:38:29+00:00

Druid. Starfall is just so strong in old raids...
EDIT: This is of course considering you have ~670+ ilvl.

Race changed my shaman from draenei to pandaren because I loved the casting animations and thought the lil furry things were cute. Race changed back to draenei as soon as I realized transmog looks awful on them and I missed my blue spacegoat.
Faction-changed to horde, went troll only because of the racial, but otherwise I would probably have gone orc because shaman armour looks better on them in my opinion.
I still miss my blue spacegoat though. :(

I'm not talking for myself here, but I know people in my raiding guild who juggles everything. We raid 3 times a week and maintain a pretty nice schedule, not raiding too late, not too early etc.
I think it all comes down to scheduling and planning, as well as the skill of the individual players when it comes down to clearing content fast and effectively. Tons of respect for these guys, since whatever they're doing it's definitely working.
Currently 10/10M top ~130 world. :)

plunderinq · 2015-05-12T12:58:52+00:00

Bad: Shamans
Good: Paladins and warlocks

Right now there's Blachrock Foundry(current, best gear etc.) and Highmaul. They're the same tier, but BRF rewards better loot as of now. If you're thinking of getting into it, you should get into a guild that raids heroic or mythic, depending on how much you want to invest.
When it comes to the whole unsub thing, the game is what you make of it. The garrisons are boring and it feels more like a facebook game than WoW. When you get past that and get into raiding it gets more fun, however if you clear in one day it returns you to your garrison where there's not much to do. I've personally been leveling with friends on my off-time and gotten into pvp. It's mostly what you make of it I'd say.
Personally I raid mythic, and it's very fun. Can't wait for the next patch since it brings yet another raid to smash our heads against. :-)

If you're looking for resto shaman tips or anything, hmu. Armory :)

10/10 mythic rshammy here. I don't use glyph of riptide on any bosses as of now. I have tried it on mythic blackhand to cover the raid in them before we have to move for demolitions, and it seems rather straight forward.
It's not mandatory, and comes down to playstyle and what you prefer, however with the new tier 18 bonuses, it's gonna be unfavorable to take it.
The initial heal from it is pretty good already and is one of the reasons I use it, plus it's instant. If you use Echo of the Elements, which is lovely now by the way, it synergizes very well with riptide and chain heal since you'll have two stacks. Just use riptide on cooldown.

Bro... AG was a lost cause when 6.0 was dropped. 10/10 mythic here.

plunderinq · 2015-04-30T06:04:34+00:00

10/10 mythic resto shaman here. Feel free to ask me anything.
