Shaman's pve specFollow

Elemental shaman is really underrated by the wow community, to be honest this doesn't sound like the case. Sounds like this druid is probably not the best of tanks and doesn't think he can keep up enough threat to have a elemental shaman in his group. For me it is pretty hard to find a tank that can keep up, tanks that know me know I do heavy dps, and know to watch for there taunt button often, but I am getting good at kiting enemies in heroics lol. don't worry, a lot of tanks find it hard to tank with an elemental shaman in the group unless you hold back a lot, takes a good tank to handle a elemental shaman.

Well, I think that ranks as the 5th dumbest generalized comment I've heard in WoW!



Your too nice :p I tend not to let stupid ppl off the hook, and generally rant my head off, if not for the sake of making me feel better :)

Frankly, in my experiance of playing all shaman specs, we could debate the whole "who's the better dps spec, enh or elem" til the cows come home. Which I just throw my hands up and say BOTH are very respectable, granted to date I've done the most dmg as a Enh and tend to be in the top 3 in overall raid dps (granted I was top 3in raid dps before as a elem too, go figuer). This leads me to believe that the DA (we'll call the person DA=Dumb@$$, since I'm lazy to retype it out) is making a assumtion regarding the "quality" of a elem sham's dps, which is a moot point. The ONLY time I can think of that the difference in dps "type" would become a factor is IF (BIG "IF") the mobs in question are strong or immune to nature dmg, in which case the enh would hold the advantage. But, I can't think of any OL situation that would fit that critiria. If ANYTHING, I concider elem dps more "party/tank" friendly since its the dps spec that actually has a "control value" regarding hate production

If they based their arguement was on the quality of off healing, then once again I don't see how they could make that connection. Elem gearing is of course is based on caster stats, while that doesn’t mean that they are “healing” stat bias, it does make elem more relevant to off healing than Enh gearing (which typically has no caster stats what so ever).

So frankly I have no idea what they think that a elem can’t do that a enh “could”. IF anything its the enh spec that is more one dimentional, and is limited to the gear stats they are wearing at a given moment.



Well thats the only "legit" arguement anyone can make regarding us >.> But that effects shaman's in general, so that wouldn't be a elem thing...

Aside from Resto specs, elem I'd imagine is the spec that party's "should" be jumping too. IMPO Elem's are really the TRUE hybrid spec...for the hybrid class.



I would have. Hell, I've ignored ppl for lesser faults...its to the point I'm starting to think general and trade chat don't exist since I don't "hear" many ppl talking on it 0_o I do enjoy my peace and quite :)
