Shamans Ghost Wolf

I was doing some research about shamans in MoP, and i found that Ghost Wolf will be an instant cast in MoP.

Didnt see anyone post this yet, so yah.
 
old news
 
Mind if i hijack this thread and ask u guys how important u think it will be to hitcap as a shaman FC in MoP?

with the loss of earthbind im wondering if hitcapping is worth the loss of other stats

as windshear cant miss and purge is spammable

i can see the appeal of ensuring flameshock doesnt miss vs rogues

obviously more incentive to hit cap as a tauren

can engineering bombs miss?

Well, resto gets Spiritual Insight which gives you 15% hit with Flame Shock and Lightning Bolt, and elemental gets Elemental Precision, giving you hit rating equal to your spirit from gear which means the spirit from the shield enchant puts you at 5.91% hit (spell hit cap is 6% on the current beta patch, melee yellow hit cap 3%).

Since I am too lazy to post this in a different thread I'll just add it here: At the moment several suffix items received changes such as 4/4 mail gloves and boots now being 3/3 and "of the tiger" items having agility and hit instead of agility and strength.

Yes, they got Healing Surge and Riptide aswell.
 
Yeah, instant GW has been known since the original MoP talent calculator and spell list was presented.

IMO, its needed considering we are losing EB totem - gunna have to kite somehow.
 
they are losing earth shield, and healing surge doesnt currently compare to flash/fol at 29+39 so i wont be surprised if it lacks oomph at 19 too

Healing Surge heals for ~850 and crits for ~1.7k. That's more than enough to outheal any DPS class at the moment.

I didn't test it myself since I don't have a proper enhancement set on my shaman but from what I heard it is about equal to elemental in terms of DPS. You are a melee class without any snares though and got only 110 mana which is enough for 3 heals.

Riptide is definitely better than ES for this bracket, and healing surge is infinitely better than the sluggishness and low throughput that is healing wave, regardless of mana cost. Instant ghostwolf is a valid tradeoff for EB in some cases (LoSing ranged, doing some jumps, etc) but worse for others (10 stacked debuff-MoP wolf doesn't negate snares, according to tooltip). Total decurse/dispel is a plus. Earth Shock 'buff' is nice too.

Worst case scenario: Riptide ticks are negligible, and mana pool can't accomodate for aggressive/intense play (purge & shear while keeping offense alive, or spamming HS). I'll wager that this won't be the case, with the changes to mana (for healers) in MoP. I think rshaman will be one of the strongest healers.
 
Idk if it has been discussed at all, but will shifting into ghost wolf remove snares like when Druids shift into their forms..??
