First of all, welcome to 2010! Hope everyone had a nice holiday and that you all will carry on with the awesome gaming, regardless of the game you're playing =)
Now, some things has changed for enhancement shamans (and I quite like them tbh). For example, we now have the oppotunity to spec for the relative new "Fire Nova" which is a replacement for the good old Fire Nova Totem - what it does is that it lets the shaman burst out a ring of fire which deals 893-997 dmg to all enemies within 10 yards of the fire totem - when I say "within the totem" its cus the spell will only be enabled and ready for use as long as the shaman has a fire totem activated.
For an enhancement shaman, this new spell is great, and even better was the new spec I've chosen for mine =) It includes Glyph of Flameshock which allows the debuff ticks to crit, which is absolutely awesome when Magma Totem is doing it's thing aswell! Also, I've specced for Fire Nova to deal 20% more dmg than normal, cus usually when raiding or running 5mans you will meet several groups of mobs which you want to burn down as fast as possible to save time and get going. With those few changes within my spec (look at link to the right for my whole spec+glyphs) I went for a test on the boss dummy in Lagforge and ended up with a steady 5k dps without any use of Heroism (still seems weird to not call it Bloodlust), but ofc my dps is lowered a bit due to the noncrit ticks from Flame Shock - to tell you the truth, I dont really bother that much about my dps anymore, as long as Im within top5 on total dmg done. Cus in the end, its the overall dmg that matters, not the silly burst dps.
I have joined a new guild! As I told in the last post, Ive been waiting to join Fusion of Hellfire EU realm, and they are a great group of funny ppl who's ready to raid and to do this properly. Ofc there are some things that we have to work on cus we're currently alot of new trialists who have to be worked into the group and learn how they do their thing. But so far I think we're doing really good. We downed Deathbringer Saurfang in 25man Icc and had some pretty nice tries on Rotface and Festergut. We didnt manage to down any of the new bosses, sadly, but that will come with time and work =)
That was all for now, catch ya later in the next post ^^
Cheers, Nash
