Dazed:
I'm thrilled about the change, honestly. Very, very happy. I'd been on the fence about buying cataclysm, but they got me now. They gots me.
Alex C:
I just don't really want to reroll and that's going to be what happens if I'm doing 10s instead of 25s : (
Lines:
Now that I've actually tried using dungeonfinder, I honestly hate what they did with it. I like the random thing, but what happened at seeing who was waiting to get into a dungeon? And wtf, why can't you use the LFG channel outside of cities. Is there something I'm missing or does it just suck like that?
Also, does anyone play a resto shammy? How do you like it? Also what are some good macros/addons/etc that are good for shaman? I'm playing a shammy and I'm still not sure how I like it. Maybe it's just because I'm a low level (21), but it feels so slow and not as effective as what I'm used to with my druid or even on par with the priest I'm leveling up, which is still level 10. I don't mind it as a dps, but the friends I'm playing with all made tank/dps classes, so I'm stuck with healing. (Which is ok, I don't mind healing. I just want to see how others feel about resto shammys as I've never even played with one.)
Dazed:
I play a resto/ele shaman, but I mostly pvp with him. Resto is phenomenal for pvp healing, you have great single target and multi-target heals, albeit not as strong as a paladin's or druid's, respectively. That said, I do find resto pve to be boring as fuuuuuuuck, it largely amounts to either mashing healing waves and canceling them halfway through ( or not, this is wotlk, who actually ooms anymore) or mashing chain heal. I guess it's a bit more interactive than that in 5 mans/leveling, you can juggle totems/interrupt/assist dps or w.e, but once you hit raids it's dull.
That said I really do love shaman pvp. Love love luuuurve.
As far as addons, I like totemtimers, and I know some people swear by shaman friend, but I've never really needed it. Mousover macros are great for healing, and very simple to write. Just #showtooltip Healing Wave; /cast [target=mouseover] Healing Wave etc etc etc.
Alex C:
Yeah, and if you're really uncomfortable doing your own macros you can always use Clique, which is basically a li'l GUI thingy that lets you get a lot of the same sort of functionality when combined with a good raid frame setup, particularly since Shamans don't use that many different heals that terribly often-- much of the time smart shaman healing depends on the order you do things and what cds you have available as opposed to spamming tons of different spells, so it's not really that terribly hard to set most of your get your workhorse spells onto your mouse if you really want to. I personally used to use a combination of both on my druid. I find pure click casting to be a pain in the ass when spamming one target (or casting hots while on the move) and I found mouse over macros to be annoying while hotting up the raid. Whether click casting or mouse over plus keybind macros are superior is kind of a personal taste and class question, so while I really recommend giving them each a try, I would aldo stress not letting people give you too much shit over which way you go in the end.
