SHAMAN HEAVEN

[Lateralus]

true, maybe a combination of the two, use you totemtimers for your standerd totems and a bar for a second set of totems.

imo, there is no use to have grounding totem on your totemtimers if you have to fight a melee group.
But anyway, if your fast enough i doubt it would be a real problem. Ill have to learn to focus on more then big numbers in PvP

yeah i was planning for a combination of the two. as matter of fact im gonna explain how im thinking since im dead bored at work

totemtimers
alt-1 to activate earth menu, alt-2 for wind, alt-3 for water and alt-4 for fire

f1 for tremor totem (also thro totem timers)
f2 for poison clearing totem (also thro totem timers)
f3 for windfury totem
f4 for searing totem

(ill probably also have these 4 in a castsequence macro since i think these are the ones ill use mostly since im playing with a warrior in 2v2 and mage/shaman/warrior or rogue/shaman/warrior in 3v3)

and then ill have a hotkey for that earth slowing totem thing (always forget the name) to ease quick getaways and one for grounding

sounds doable right or am i missing a very much needed totem that ill need quick access 2?


so for the alt things its practically press alt-1 to get the menu and then its like 1-7 for the correct totem. should be easy enough after some practise



also do shamans use any downranks in arena? like lower rank of totems or heals? (i know about earthshock rank 1 ^^)

[TheWarriorKing]

as you said earthshock one

windfury totem one (in some situations you can you max however use rank 1 as a default)

Searing rank 1 if you see they keep destroying and you can afford the GCD's

fire nova/preferably magma 1 if rogue is going to perfom and obviously obvious stealth

magma 2-3 (or even 4 in some situations ) to kill hunters' snakes before the poison the shit out of you,this surprisingly(CAPTAIN OBVIOUS,FORTH) depends on your spelldamage.

Frostshock rank 1 (but have max rank somewhere binded for damage burst)

Playing whit a lock its a nice option to not beeing nuked the whole fight it seems gives u more time to plan earth shocks for cc interupts/heals. Druid cyclone/root dpser that is trying to nuke the warlock and the shaman can go 2X wpns mostly the whole fight nice vid tbh.

Yeah that's the setup Late, Bira and me rolled with late S2.
We hit 2200 with it or so.

Now, not to put a dent in Zagine's credz and all...
But that RMP setup (Blackwater Assassins and Amuse Me) he faced in his vid is a pushover compared to the evil I've seen on Blackout back then.

Quite some nice names in this vid, unfortunately the sample size is minimal (one clip per) so it says nothing about luck/strategy versus people like Swarm, Happyminty, etc.

It's obvious he's spooked vs. Swarm's crew - he prefaced that clip with "many mistakes", yet his crew still rolls up RMP there.
What I see there is Neilyo being an incompetent fuck and not tunnelvisioning the shaman with every CC under the sun.
That's just speaking from personal experience with this lineup in 3s, we get rolled under 30 secs as long as you lock the Enha down in the start of the fight.

really nice vid. fun to watch vs neilyo

What I don't understand is that the shaman talents are available for play ever since the start of the friends and fam alpha.
Why the hell haven't they leaked yet!!
I'm currently downloading a alpha client to get access to a "cracked" alpha server. Going to check out the shaman myself! (and possibly the DK )

Also, 200 range knockback sounds about right, no need to nerf or correct it.
