Hey guys, Nim here. For those who don't know, I will be playing a Resto Shaman as my main as of the release of Wrath (he's named Allthumbs). There isn't much I'll miss about my lock, but I will definitely miss the dialogue the warlocks kept going and the constant improvement that came out of that dialogue. I say we get a similar dialogue going!

We have a couple Enhancement Shaman who should definitely get together and figure some things out (Eoupe, Razorskull and Masta).

Here is what I have been thinking about for a Resto build at 80.

Link

This build focuses on really well rounded heals. I'm not 100% clear on what a Resto Shaman's roll is really going to be when healing 25 mans. If we become 1 button chain heal mashers again (which doesn't look like it's going to be the case) then there are a few points I would drop in favor putting 2 more points in Healing Grace, Focused Mind (reduced silence effects can be really helpful), and 3/3 elemental weapons.

as the sole ele sham in apparently the world and with no backing on any level from blizzard i believe i may be forced into joining you as resto nim. have yet to mess with lvl 80 specs for resto but i think i have a decent one set up in my mind and from lvl 70.

also we need a sham channel to work out totems in raids seeing as how it not just 2 of us anymore lol. hmm this could be interesting with all the totemstongue

i already made it smile go me one step ahead! also i have been reading up on ele and it looks like in a 10 or 25 man raid i have one of the most secure dps spots cause i bring the most to a raid! go me i lucked out! only thing is our dps is marginal at best : / i will be farming hit gear as 288 appears to be my new number QQ but eh i will have to see whats up. enhance shaman go find your numbers do research and get awesome! we need to have the sham rockin face in 25 man naxx!!

oh and on another note... im fairly sure i read that all sham dps is fairly insignificant atm... not awful but not amzing. and as such there should only be one enh sham and one ele sham per raid. and our real purpose atm is mostly totem buffs. dont get me wrong when played properly with the right rotation we can drop some very very good damage but awareness needs to be up all the time which can be fairly draining when we are learning new old stuff and wiping alot lol... ehhh just trying to better my shaman brothers

<----- has no intention of being a healer btw... will go to help the raid but DO NOT get used to me being resto. that is all carry on

ok im not sure how many enhancement shaman we have but i was wondering if specing for the 6 extra lightning orbs and chance to use one on hit would be better than to spec for the improved shields

wouldnt it be good to get both? (i have no idea if points allow or anything like that) i would just assume that more orbs means less GCDs spent refreshing and chane to proc them is just added dps so the imp shields would just further increase that. unless your stuck for points in which case i dunno lol

after readin what wrote i noticed people would not know what im askin. im woundering if it is better to raid with lightning shield or water shield im specing in to improved shields no matter what . . . . . . . . im just afraid im goin to run out of mana and switch between the two if i go lightning and also just to throw this out there . . .. . since DK have the horn that gives 155 STR and AGI should i spec in to stone skin or stick with SRT of earth?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

SoE imo unless its an issue of talent points. think its just back up and in the end you arnt going to have that DK with you at all times. when you run regs n heroics n stuff it will still be needed. but thats my thoughts
