So, you're thinking of playing a Shaman? This page is intended to give a short overview of what to do over the first 10 levels or so, just to get you started on the right path. If you're looking for more of an overview of the class's abilities, see the main Shaman page. For more advanced topics, see the Sham...

The shaman is a healer, melee and ranged damage dealer hybrid class. As such, the class is considered one of the most adaptable and versatile in the game. They are designed to enhance all parts of a party while not being particularly focused on any one aspect of the game. Depending upon how players choo...

... for Monk, anyway. There was a post on wow.com about healers and how they get to remain diverse while other roles are getting more and more consolidated.

Classes: General All pets now receive 40% of their master's resilience and 100% of their master's spell penetration. In addition, if a player is at their appropriate spell hit chance or hit chance maximum, their pet will be at the maximum for spell hit chance, hit chance, and expertise. If they are be...

In answer to Jack's question last night, "Pets start earning talent points at level 20 and then gain a point every 4 levels." So, assuming that your pets are your level (which they may not be with the RAF bonus) they should have 2 talent points. Cobra Reflexes should be where you put your fi...

I might just be an idiot, but in case anyone else made the same mistake, I thought I'd toss this out there: From wowinsider: Q: "Whatever happened to being able to confirm/save talent specs before finishing them? I know this was a nice feature I was looking forward to in 3.1?" A: This is in p...

3.1 patch notes are up. WowInsider has seperate articles for each class, too. DK gets some good, some bad. Shaman, spriest, and pallys all look like they mainly get buffs. Plus, dual-specs.

Mattie · Mattie

Adam asked me a question about spell penetration, yesterday, and I was unable to answer it very well. It so happens that wowinsider had a post about the relative importance of stats for mages. I'd imagine that most of it applies to shadow priests, as well, with the possible exception of spirit. F...

Monk · Monk

wowi had an article today about current blood dps. They were saying that it's possible, if you are in Heroic gear or better (approx), that you could do a disease-less dps rotation. This is odd considering all DK builds desire diseases on the target. But I decided to test it out, as I am in Heroic-ish g...

(from wowhead/wowi/GC) Dual spec is max-level only. They may expand it to lower level characters if it proves popular.Learning the "dual-spec" ability requires a one-time fee, paid to your trainer. No word yet on how much it might be.You can switch your spec at any Lexicon of Power. Thes...

Article about this popped up on wowi, but I like it a lot: These are the very most basic rules that you, as a WoW Player operating in Melee range, should follow.

Just thought I'd do a quick overview of what buffs are available from totems, so you know what to ask for in a group, and why you may not be able to get it. :) I'll leave out a lot of the utility totems, and focus mainly on totem buffs. Shamans can lay down one totem from each element (earth,air,water,fir...

I sort of hijacked the DK spec thread with general comments on dps and recount. I thought I'd start a new thread for that kinda stuff.

Mattie · Mattie

I seem to have a talent for hijacking threads. I've moved this here from the Carl's Jr. discussion, of all places. I've repecced into Enhancing Totems, so my strength of earth totem gives 178 to str and agi. That's 23 more of each over a DK's horn of winter, if I'm not mistaken. So, DK tanks, I only get to...

Monk · Monk

http://www.talentchic.com/ In my opinion, it can be better than forum discussions arguing over what spec is better. Sometimes, pure credibility goes farther than theorycrafting. And a large number of people choosing one spec over the other is a decent amount of credibility. http://www.tale...

The balance on Blackhand is pretty good, considering everyone was saying we'd only see DKs after expansion. People need to shut up about how every rogue rerolled druid and how every warlock rerolled DK. According to WarcraftCensus, here are the numbers in each class (horde-only, lvl 71-80 -- wher...
