Alex C:
Boomkin? More like OOMkin, amirite?!
Nah, seriously, I don't have any real beef with the laser owls, I just think that as an offspec there's a lot of decent reasons not to play one right away since Blizzard screwed up their itemization and such fairly badly in the past; they're a lot better post 60, but sadly, blizzard's idea of balance druid gear used to mean crappy leathers with spirit tacked on. That seems to be changing, although I think their talent options are so fiddly it'll be a while before they really show their true colors-- hitting the right balance of raw damage and raw mana regen talents will probably prove tricky for most people for quite sometime. They do have some real nasty utility though. Besides, if Blizzard ever gets around to releasing a glyph that lets the raiders remove the knockback component of typhoon, it could become a great all-purpose AoE spell as well as a great pvp and 5 man trick.
Chesire Cat:
I could be, possibly, maybe, conceivably going to start playing WoW perchance.
But I would like to know, what class plays closest to a Battle-Sage from Ragnarok Online? You know, constant flash pa-pow damage from spells avec a touch of melee. I was told the Shaman, but this was by someone who likely has a vested interest in me becoming one for support reasons.
Yakob:
Yeah, I'd say the closest to that would be an Elemental Shaman, but that's stretching it.
masquerade:
Yeah gear for boomies is a bit... difficult. It's getting better now that the expansion's opened, but it seems like everything I come across that looks badass is feral. Which only deepens my resentment and spurs my obstinacy to remain balance out of spite. And do damn good damage even with the handicap of other OP classes and specs.
And you're right, our damage has dropped since the expansion. I was critting over 2000 before it hit (and I was around level 62 or so, maybe a tad higher), and that's the crit that I'm managing now. It's frustrating, but you find ways around it. Stack the DoT's, spam high-damage, low mana-cost spells. Learn what works and what doesn't. ::shrug::
The class's limitations can be overcome by the player if they put effort into it. I think that's the point of playing different classes and specs -- learning your limitations and working with them so that they really don't matter.
As to those elementals, I'm going to find a mage or something to run around with to give them a big ol' "fuck you" for me. Mages do arcane damage, right...? I dunno, I've not really leveled anything past level 10 besides my main. ::shrug::
clockworkjames:
Get someone in plate to kill the elementals.
Oh and as for boomkins in PVP I charge in, try not to get hurt too much before intervening back to the closest healer :(
They are as bad as locks for kicking my ass.
