World of Warcraft

[Squeek]

Just did 10-man vault with a pug. #1 at 2800 dps.

Which is sad because I missed once or twice on my lava burst. Sucks that Shaman get no +hit talents like mages, but eh. The t7.5 gloves have +hit but they're significantly weaker than what I have and our enchanter wasn't online when I got them so they're not usable yet.

So yeah tokzic I don't know why anyone would want you instead of me but keep telling yourself that you're amazing.

edit: and just did a CoS pug with a group that wasn't going for the timed kill. After a while it became apparent that we were really too good (with me leading DPS by a long shot again--actually had 2,400 dps in a 5-man) and ended up getting the boss down with a minute to spare. I got the drake two days ago so I just wanted it down for the free emblem, really. Then the group wanted to go to UP and ugh I hate UP but we did it and apparently our DPS was amazing once again as we got the King's Bane achievement by dropping him so fast that he never actually used Bane. Oh and I helped the other guys get the other UP achievements along the way, since I had those too.

I think it's funny that the guy who's been playing for a week is the guy explaining instances to people but I guess it's just the result of two personality traits I have: I'm a fast learner and I love to teach. One time I was doing an instance with my guild (which we do every day--typically just the heroic daily and one other but it varies) and since we don't have a tank (he's off fighting some war for america or something i duno) we have to pick one up every day. This one hadn't done the instance before so I started explaining and the rest of my guild promptly pointed out that the one who has been playing for a month is the one doing the explaining. But it's not like I got anything wrong.

Ah... whatever. I'm going to suggest to my guild tomorrow that we start running every instance for achievements now, since I'm done with gear.

pps - it's nice to know that I have the single greatest party/raid skill in the game. Makes me feel worthwhile, you know? It certainly gets me invited into raids more easily than others. I told my friend right from the start that no matter what, I wanted to play a class that could be helpful. You know, the opposite of Rogues (lol tokzic rogues suck so much stop defending them). I normally would've gone with Priest for just straight heals but my friend kept telling me how useful Shaman are in any spec, and Shatner sealed the deal.

At least all the sets don't look as ugly as the rogues. I feel bad for them :P

Well, the tokens look like they're going to be called Emblems of Conquest. So, Conquerer's _________ Armor, maybe?

[Solid Dreams]

Probably.

Did you see that the first part of Ulduar's going to have vehicles?

Sounds pretty slick, but kinda sucks because vehicle's power ramps off of your character's gear.

My largest heal has been 21k, but I'm about to respec so that will change.

For starters, tier gear is usually not meant to be best in slot. It's meant to be something to tide you over until you get your best in slot. A lot of classes have ****ty stats on their tier gear. The Fury warrior gear has ****ty stats for the gloves, and I have 4 other epic gloves that are easily better than them.

I don't see how raid buffed and boss buff crits count for anything. Everyone does ridiculous damage. Get a 15k crit in a bg and then you have something there.

[Kagome]

Squeek elemental shaman do get +hit talents. http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=30674

[Sir Psycho]

Meh, I don't have a screenshot of it, but when I was Arms before they nerfed Sudden Death, I managed to do a 19k Execute crit on a Disc Priest.

Is this what you're talking about Izzy?(That would equate to about a ~40k crit on Thaddius)

[Izzy]

I also don't consider full raged executes real crits either. At the point of the execute they would never have 20k life anyway. Get a 20k heroic strike in a bg and then you have something there.

edit:

[Sir Psycho]

Sudden Death proc is a chance on crit to immediately execute... That's not at 20% health.

[Izzy]

I've never heard of it, but i know ive never been 1 shotted by a warrior yet.

[tsugomaru]

Okay, non raid buffed, my largest heal I've seen is a high 16k crit. I'm pretty sure with food, I can break 17k occasionally.

Priests definitely have a great looking tier set. I wanted to get something with my Emblems of Heroism, but I was saving them for T8 because they may appear as a vendor reward. I'm disappointed now that they are adding yet another badge type for the next set of gear. =[

Well, at least I can get my ring now.

Conqueror's _______ wouldn't work because a set at level 60 had that name. Heck, the Priest T7 armor tokens are called of Conqueror although none of my items have Conqueror in them.

Yeah, because Strength and Agility and Attack Power and Speed really make me do more damage.

The only buffs I had were my own. I didn't even use my cooldowns.

And it's too damn bad I hate PVP so I have absolutely no interest in battlegrounds to prove you wrong.

Oops, forgot about that. Still have to get to 14% to be capped. Without +hit gear I'm at about 8 or 9% without that skill.

[Solid Dreams]

Meh, most of the ridiculously high crits I've seen are from pvp, not sure what your point is for pvp being better than pve in judging crits.

[Sir Psycho]

Besides, if you factor in resilience, crits will be even lower than if you were hitting a normal mob.

[Kagome]

Don't be afraid to take some cloth gear. most of your +hit will have to be from cloth.

Probably his/her point.

A lot of my gear is Cloth gear because Blizz has it stuck in their heads that Elemental Shaman need mp5.

There's only one Mail glove better than my cloth glove, and it's a BOE that comes from a 7% drop in naxx-25 on Thaddius. Sells for about 1,600g on my server. The cloth gloves I have have 2 more crit and one less SP. Of course, they lack the Haste and more Stam/Int never hurt, but for 1,600g, I'll pass for now.
