Yea good work today guys
Im gonna be starting a list detailing specif class/spec bonuses to raid and party please tell me what im missing as the list will obly start with 1 or 2 things.
Shaman
Restoration
Ancestral Healing (does not stack with Holy Priest Inspiration)
Fire Totem
Shammy - Searing Totem (Raid)
Shammy - Flametongue Totem (Raid)
Shammy - Magma Totem (Raid)
Elemental Shammy - Totemic Wrath (causes fire totems to increase spell power by 10%) (Raid)
Earth Totem
Shammy - Earthbind Totem (Raid)
Shammy - Grounding Totem (Raid)
Shammy - Stoneskin Totem (Raid)
Air Totem
Shammy - Windfury Totem (Raid)
Shammy - Wrath of Air Totem (Raid)
Restoration Shammy - Spirit Link Totem (Raid)
Water Totem
Shammy - Healing Stream Totem (Raid)
Shammy - Mana Spring Totem (Raid)
Restoration Shammy - Mana Tide Totem (Raid)
Notes: Shammy are very interesting. They are by far the most raid supporing class at 50 and will be key in later raid content. There are 3 totems per each type of totem (Fire, Air, Water, Earth), so I reckon 3 Shammys will be enough for raid content (1 elemental and 2 restoration). Ancestral Healing is a very powerful talent and should be used where most efficient.
Paladin
Concentration Aura (Raid)
Devotion Aura (Raid)
Retribution Aura (Raid)
Blessing of Kings (Raid)
Ret
Replenishment (10 Raid members)
Prot
Divine Guardian (Raid)
Holy
Aura Mastery (Raid)
Notes: I would suggest 1 Pally at most in every 40 man Raid (preferably a tank). Replenishment is not necessary and Aura Mastery we can live without. Devotion Aura is replaced by a Shammy totem and Retribution Aura is not necessary. Its possible the Pally Tank will be using Concentration Aura.
Rogue
Subtlety
Honor Among Thieves (Raid)
Notes: Pretty solid class, will be required for certain raids and bosses. Sadly dramaticly lacking in DPS compared to Hunters but what can we do? Subtlety is already bis spec 90% of teh time so we shoudl always have HAT.
Warrior
Fury
Rampage (Raid) (Does not stack with Honor Among Thieves)
Notes: Best Tanks nuf said. But seriously since Rampage doesnt stack with HAT they might as well only be used for Tanking.
Hunter
Marksmanship
Trueshot Aura (Raid
Notes: Hunters are doing the most DPS by far and stacking them is a wise idea. Survival seems to be best raid spec, however 1 Marksmanship Hunter for Trueshot Aura is a good idea in 40 man raids.
Mage
Arcane Brilliance (Raid)
Notes: Arcane Brilliance is a huge buff and I would suggest we roll with 1 mage at least (and also probably at most) in every 40 man we do.
Preist
Power Word: Fortitude (Raid)
Holy
Inspiration
Notes: Disc is best healing spec at 50, Holy's Inspiration is very strong and when used correctly can make a large differnce.
Warlock
Healthstone
Soulstone
Note: My knowledge of Warlocks is very minimal, advice guys?
Druid
Mark of the Wild (Raid)
Notes: Im not sure about Druids, Mark of the Wild is replaced by Kings so they seem pretty useless
Overall I think I have listed most of teh buffs these classes can support teh raid with.
I will be making another list about consumables, profesion and gear later on.
Please tell me if there is something I have missed or if tehre is something incorrect.
