Ellay, you inspire us all! Currently one of my friends (Blood DK) and my 4 shammies have a 5v5. We did our 10 games to try to get the gear that takes honor/arena points to get us started. We would've done 10+ games, but our rating was already suffering thanks to my extreme lack of gear (barely 13k HP on my main, and 12.9k on my alts). So we figured it'd be best to take the arenas slowly at first since we get points based off our rating not how many games we play.

note: We did manage to win one game, where it was 4 people vs. us and we hid in the starting room in Lordareon. They sent a pally in, and I WTFpwnt him, then they followed stupidly. It was great :P

But back on topic! I recently respecced my 4th girl to resto so he and I could do heroics. We had been trying with my 4 girls elemental but I really felt that I needed the dedicated healing. So it will be interesting to try out arena's with 1 of em resto. I should be able to rock, well I hope anyways! lol It all depends on if I can learn to handle it. Because honestly, my girls are going down in less than 3 seconds right now thanks to melee :thumbdown: Oh well, just gotta keep truckin', I know we'll get there someday! And thanks again Ellay, just when I start feeling down in the dumps, you make a post to remind me how awesome boxers are :thumbsup:

Every gear upgrade, you can Feel the power within us grow, because it hits all of your characters not just one.
It's time to adapt, new strategies and tactics. The potential is there, it always will be. I will show you all the light

What?

Grats on your success. But when the number 1 boxer with a great healer who was the top team can only hit 1600 I am not inspired. You are 100% better than most all of us and were number 1 before. I think people need to understand elemental shamans are THE WORST PVP CLASS in wotlk. Let me say that again. THE WORST PVP CLASS. The current state of the game is fubar. If you want to pvp and have any fun you need to join the flavor of the month club. Multiboxers need to try other classes and see what could work. Shamans are dead in pvp right now. This doesnt mean you cant go to a bg and shoot everyone up in a big zerg fest. If anyone judges balance pvp for a class by being able to stand with 40 people and pew pew thats just not accurate.

You can say I am very bitter at this game. Sure I have a rogue, mages, pally, dk's & more. I really cannot stand that I have to play a fotm class to be good at pvp just because its the current over powered class. They ruined this game. I dont see how it could be fixed without a huge revamp. If they take all these classes dps away how are people going to raid? Shaman have become the (bc) feral druid of PVP. I guess we all have to wait and see what happens. Maybe things will change with you get 1000 res. I have almost 500 and get dropped instanly. What makes it even more stupid is I get dropped while being stunned or locked out of casting. For now elemental shamans have a big target on their backs saying sitting duck. FREE KILL!

I wish you all the best in arena. I hope you prove me wrong. Maybe I can find a guild mate who dont mind being fodder for an elemental shaman team. Getting someone on the server to become a healer for a elemental team right now would be very hard. Everyone knows how bad elementals suck. If I continue to play this game I may just level my dk's and see what that does. I have a team of 3 mages that I could use to insta gib people at 80. I knew this expansion was going to be doom for shamans. I just wish I was wrong about that. All the new boxers should know that shamans are no longer what they use to be in pvp. I would urge them to try other combos unless they like pain.

Some of the best players in the world are in 1600-1800's.

What skill does it take to stunlock for 3 secs (time it takes to kill), bubble, or 2 shot anything that isn't a DK?

It's a gibfest. No strat, except don't zerg the DK.

[puppychow]

I think it'd be great to hear from anyone running non-shammy multibox comps, there has GOT to be a few 3-5 mage, DK, hunter, etc teams. Or anyone tried 3s, how did that go?

Realize too that Blizzard takes a LONG, LONG, LONG time to make changes, especially such drastic balance issues. We aren't going to see patch 3.08 fix everything, I'm guessing ele shamans will still be pretty bad in 3.08. It'll take future patches for them to tone down Aoe Burst (since they have to rebalance PVE content probably) and make survivability higher for some classes. Its a great time to reroll and try different classes.

I see you only have 1 totem of Wrath and the rest are Elemental Oath spec, why did you not give them all both? Is Totem of Wrath no longer stackable?

[Ellay]

Correct, it no longer stacks.

[Spades68]

Wow I have been away from the game for 7 months and shamans are raped...

BL has a forberance even though its a 10 minute CD and Totem of Wrath can't stack even though its DEEP in the talent tree.

I know I'm probably stealing the thread when asking this but Ellay I have been a fan of yours for probably a year now, and focusing on working up the cash to do the same with 4 male orc shammies, but DAMN what else have they changed on shamans that redefines them?

[Ellay]

Eh that's pretty much it, our heals are A LOT stronger since they converted spell damage and healing into 1 calling it Spell Power. We are basically a Resto Shaman now without some of the + healing talents.
We have on demand burst without needing NS anymore, so there are quite a few positives.
