[MOP] F2P Shaman guide

Re: F2P Shaman guide

Don't forget that the names of items and abilities use title case capitalization rules.

Riptide
This ability is very useful. It heals for a decent amount, has a HoT and increases the target's maximum health over time. Use this constantly on a FC because it adds 170 health at maximum.

Riptide adds health to people because resto shamans have Purification - Spell - World of Warcraft as a passive ability. Restos can use any of there healing spells and people will gain health up to 10% of there max health, so more then 170 can happen. You might be referring to just the ticks of the HoT from riptide only going to 170 health but the guide is a bit confusing/incomplete here and you should really add the passive abilities of each spec, thats kind of important.
 
Re: F2P Shaman guide

Good progress man.

One minor thing - Minor Wizard Oil - I do not think it stacks with flametongue as of 5.0.
 
Re: F2P Shaman guide

Also make sure to fill up your bank with Minor wizard oil if you are Elemental/Resto. The recipe can be brought from enchanting mat vendors.

Again not a big deal.
 
Re: F2P Shaman guide

Hey this is a nice guide, I like it a lot.

Some minor adjustments I'd do to improve it:
Firstly, the chest slot for ele/resto seems to be missing. Also, Gloves of the hero link is broken.
Secondly, the troll racial - beast slaying, isn't only useful against hunters pet's it's a 5% damage increase against druids and shaman in their forms.
Finally, in the profession section you say to keep enchanting until you have all your BOA which isn't necessary as you can just use vellums to store the enchants, I usually make 2-3 extra for each enchant incase I ever need to swap gear.
 
Re: F2P Shaman guide

mmk, so I've recently started playing a shaman and I think I'll share some of the macros I found useful since this guide doesn't have any​.
Code:
#showtooltip Wind Shear
/stopcasting
/cast [@target, nomod] Wind Shear
/cast [@focus, modifier: shift] Wind Shear
This casts wind shear at your main target with no modifier and casts wind shear at your focus target if you hold down shift. If you don't know how what a focus target is/how to set one up, just make a macro that looks like this:
Code:
/focus
A new target window will pop up that you can macro abilities to cast at, like I do with this next macro (playing resto):
Code:
#showtooltip Cleanse Spirit
/cast [@target, nomod, help] Cleanse Spirit
/cast [@player, modifier: shift] Cleanse Spirit
/cast [@target, nomod, harm] Purge
/cast [@focus, modifier: ctrl] Purge
Now what this does is it casts Purge at your target if you're targeting an enemy, and Cleanse Spirit (change it to Purify Spirit if playing resto) if you're targeting an ally. When you hold down shift, it will cast Cleanse Spirit at yourself and when you hold down control it will cast Purge at your focus target.
Code:
#showtooltip
/cast !Ghost Wolf
If you hit this button more than once (unlike just casting the regular ability Ghost Wolf), you will not be toggled out of Ghost Wolf form. This macro prevents spamming Ghost Wolf trying to get away, hitting it one too many times and accidentally shifting back out.
Code:
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, harm, nodead, exists][] Flame Shock
If your mouse is hovering over an enemy, hitting this button will cast Flame Shock at it without you having to target them, and also if you're not moused over anything it casts Flame Shock at your target. I like this because I can DoT rogues out of stealth without having to retarget people I'm purging/healing.

That's all I have right now, if I think of anymore I'll post them here too. People can also change the modifiers to whatever is comfortable for them; shift, alt, and ctrl are interchangable.

ALSO: Tauren>Goblin

Veinte's macros are very useful for any shaman!

I hope you continue working on the guide and incorporate more information like that. :)
