3 Manning Heroics, what can be done?

[SketchBookStyle]

A shadow priest would add stam, spirit, and shadow protection buffs as well as mana regen with vampiric touch. It also has some nice easy aoe damage with mind sear. If you switched out your shaman dps for one you could still have most of your totems from your resto sham. It would be the same group I use now and I like it.

would the gain in buffs be worth the loss in totems? namely the loss of Totem of Wrath? How do you like your group with the priest? What is the groups synergy like? I had considered a shadow priest but thought that another shaman would add more the the group as a hole.

I wouldn't drop the shaman for a shadow priest. That doesn't make much sense at all imo. You're not going to be mana hungry in 5 mans... Having mana totem makes up for vamp embrace and allows your second shaman to drop clensing totem. Stam buff isn't that important. Shadow protection isn't something you stop the presses for. Spirit buff is cool when there, but have you really ever cared when you didn't? I'd rather take a single totem of wrath to a 5 man than a shadow priest tbqh. Not to mention everything else the elem shaman brings. Shadow priests suck.

Don't over value totem of wrath. You will already have a flametongue totem for 144 spell power. This doesn't stack with the totem of wrath spell power. As for the crit chance you will have heart of the crusader from your pally which doesn't stack with ToW. You will get some spell power from it but I think all the other things priests can do make it a better choice. I forgot about fear ward too. Fear ward > tremor totem in pve.
