YAY my totem!

I finnally got my Heroic totem, I was trying to work out if clearcasting the shaman elemental spell, it makes the next dmg spell you cast after a critical hit cost 60% less mana....I was trying to work out if that was based on the base cost of the spell....just beucase I have talents and a totekm that reduces mana cost doesnt mean I should get less taken off my spell then someone who doesnt....

I worked it out anywayz, and it does actually take off the base cost of the spell....so with my totem, my lighting bolts cost 330(base cost) - 10% (talents) - 25 mana, (totem) = 272 mana per lighting bolt.....and if I get a crit it only costs me 74 mana each cast....

All I need now is my full set T4 bonus, that grants 270 mana on casts, and Ill be set for the long fights :D

Heroics!

So I've been hammering heroics, the main thing I wanted from them is Badges, I really want my totem, it'll save me a truck load of mana..

I have done a stupid amount of runs of Slaves pens to chase my Trinket, but it still hasn't dropped..I'm getting really good at coordinating groups now, and organising pulls....and kite anything you want in any of the Coilfang insatnces lol, thats the instances I'm Exalted with...

Anyway I did find a new Gem which went into my pants...its a Epic gem, +6 dmg +4 intellect...so I replaced my +7 dmg gem with this, 1 dmg for +4 int, fine by me :D

Gruul's Lair

So I've been donig runs of Gruul's lair, it's good fun, I haven't yet managed to venture into Temptest Keep or Magtheridon's lair yet, but the guild has, I need a little more better equipment before they'll take me there, the main issue is that I run out of mana on long fights, and I have been prepareing myself for them, I really need my totem :P

Anywayz, before you venture to gruul's lair you can farm Apexi Shards up on the ridge near his lair, and hand them in to get Flasks which work inside the the instance...








So yeh I was up farming for Flask of Unstable Sorcerer and I found a blue Mace, the mace was called Depleted Mace...



Now you need to collect 50 Apexi Shards to upgrade it, I was collecting shards anyway, it takes 10 to make 1 flask, so I collected 80 shards all up, which doesn't take a tremedous amount of time, I took me roughly 2hrs, I got 3 flasks and this mace...which I managed to sell for a nifty 195g, which was a really boost, brings my gold upto 380g now, maybe I'll be able to get my epic mount eventually after all...

Lower City Rep

So I've been hitting up Shadow Labs, and Sekketh Halls, to try and get my rep up with lower city, I prefer doing Slabs because as I progress through that Marks of Sargeras drops and thats Aldor rep as well....So I'm essentially hitting two birds with one stone...

I never thought that I would ever need anything for a normal slabs, but behold, I managed to land myself a new necklace..The run I was doing it with, the group were all heroic deck'd so we pulvarized through slabs, in a matter on minutes...I think the quickest we did it was 39 minutes, so it was good rep really....and I was the only aldor of the group, so they were handing me all the marks..



I managed to gain roughly 10k with aldor and 9k with lower city, which yeh leaves 12k left with lower city to get my mace...all I need to do then I get +40 wepon damage enchant on it and Ill have an extra 38 dmg..



It was a fun run of slabs all and all, and I meet a mage who showed me something new, the Zealots in the instance turn to a kind of dog, that looks Urrvos in Shadowmoon Valley, the mage can spell steal them and transfor themselfs, pretty funny :D

Another Kaz Run

Just did a run of Kaz, Bloodscalp is being shutdown for 2hrs for a new patch to be put in, sucks for a Friday night I'll just stay up and have a go later, the run did the Chess event, which is really quite fun that was the first time I'd done it, I played as a Wolf...

We did Shade of Aran, which is always a fun fight, I had to Earth Shock Fireballs, to stop them from being cast. I also got to do Prince, I so want the dagger and necklace he drops....but to my surprise I landed the T4 helm and a new cloack, has +spell hit and also 8 more damage then what I previously had....




The T4 helm gives me the 2 peice T4 bonus, which for a caster shammy is +20 extra dmg to wrath of air totem....pretty good I reckon...so now my total dmg, is higher which also helps with healing, and my spell hit and mp5 is also higher, so yeh more gear I get better for raids n stuff...

Honored Aldor

So I got my rep to honored with aldor and bought the +15 dmg enchant to my shoulders....I'm going to work further on getting the rep to revered, because I can get a +18 dmg and +10 crit enchant to my shoulders which will be bettera :D




It brings my damage up a bit, all helps :D I've got 15k to go to get to revered, but I can buy that amount of rep, buy buying Marks of Seregase, it will probably cost roughly 150g to get that rep. I will probably just farm it all :D

Heroic SP

I had another run of Heroic SP yesterday, all was going well....regardless of the group I have got very familiar with Slave Pens and can coordinate a group quite well, I almost always have to kite at least 1 add, but am getting rather good at that, so I tend to kill 1 add by myself and come back and help the group out......I did 40% of the total damage for the entire run, and we got all the way to the last boss with only a few deaths here and there and everything was going well.....

I was mid explaining the next pull to the rogue in our group when someone started the event, even after I had yelled 3 times do not open the cage it triggers the event, some noob went and did it!!! And without any of us being ready for it most of us died, including the NPC at the end that gives us our nice Nature Resistance buff for the last boss!! OMG I was so angry, I knew who did it but they wouldn't admit to it....we attempted the last boss regardless, and after 5 wipes I just left the group....

I hope the person who opened the cage and made the other 4 of us not have a hope in hell at finishing the instance feels like a total jack ass.....Also he will never be getting an invite from me again to run any instance....I did how ever get 2 badges, so only 7 more to go till I get my totem! YAY!

Who says elemental can't heal!

The advantage of being an elemental shammy, is all my +dmg and spell crit stacks with my healing...Although I only have 17 points in healing, heals like these can save the day...

3 Months

So its been 3 months since I last posted about WoW, I had a month break and have been getting back into it for the last few months.....I'm actually raiding with the guild as an Elemental Shaman now, pretty rare lol....I got the 3% crit totem and stuff so I'm getting some spots for that, but not very often, and after discussing it with the officers I will be getting more spots, but spaced further apart....bit more planned out which is good for me because I have a little one at home and its hard to manage RL and WL lol...





So I've had a few raids with them and picked up quite a few epics...I've been busy getting enchants and farming mats etc....Got a few more things on the to do list, I need 12 more Heroic Badges so I can get my new Totem, which reduces the mana cost of Lighting Bolt by 25, which will help heaps in raids...

I need a new necklace and 2 new trinkets....which I've been working on doing....and I need to get the enchant from Aldor rep to my head, and the enchant to my shoulders from getting Revered with Shat'tari, atm I'm 20k of that so got a while to go with that one...but they'll come, and when I get those enchant I'll have +800 Nature dmg with current gear and +750 normal dmg, which is really getting up there...I had to respec, yesterday still elemental but put points into threat reduction, I had to keep slowing down or stopping my DPS because I didn't have that talent and basically as my +dmg has got higher I need it now....

So my current build is 44/0/17, I sacrificed 3% critical strike chance with healing / lighting spells for +6% hit chance and -10% threat....

Basically all my items now are epics, except, my weapon, my trinkets, and my necklace, and totem....I spent 33 badges on a really awesome shield, its the best shield I can get in the game for my build....

Getting key'd to Kaz was a total &*%^ but it's done now, I have to say BM was the hardest to pass.....and although I'm raid spec'd elemental I still can gank the ^*&* out of most people, luv it!
