What are shaman groups seeing for DPS in heroics?

[Kicksome]

With my pally, shamanx3 and druid I have 0 problems in heroics (dps wise). DPS is not an issue and I average around 2K on boss fights in heroics.

I could just as easy use 1x pally and 4x shaman. My druid is rarely at the top of boss fights anyway, although I get the 13% added damage, which is nice.

It's just annoying having decent gear on my shaman and barely coming in the top 10 DPS on naxx 25. And REALLY annoying seeing blue geared people with no enchants beat my shamans on DPS.

And yes, I totally agree here. I'm actually looking forward to leveling up my Warrior, Priest, 3x BM Hunter team because of the DPS they are capable of now.

I agree with Fursphere, im about to go to one of those setups myself, but im going to wait it out until i see 3.0.8. Even if its a slight boost its moving forward, and hopefully they will fix it,.If i see no signs of the change after patch, if it still bad, then i will probably change my group orientation.

My problem in heroics has never been DPS, it's been ohshitIforgottohealthetank or whatthellhowdidthatshamandie? Or bosses that are just ridiculous in dps that straight up healing and no dps will last through (I'm looking at you VH bosses) or guantlet style shit where one mess up means death (CoS, first boss in AN, Skadi). Really dps is no big deal, I might take a little longer to kill a boss, but its never been "shit if only I had more dps that boss would have died."

edit: however I find it really sad how bad our dps is compared to the darlings of WoW (boomkins, mages, hunters) and I am glad they are at least doing something.

I still run out of mana on my shamans in some fights where higher +spellpower would help as I would have to heal less, and cast less before the boss dies, therefore removing my mana issue. This is with 16.5k mana and something like 279mp5 with water shield up (not including mana spring totem).

Also with the talents being condensed I can now take all 3 points in the 12% of intellect as mp5 talent.

strange I run 3 healing stream and 1 mana spring totem and I havent run oom on a boss yet. CoS today was a little heavy on usage since its a guantlet, but as long as its not a boss you can drink. I'm thinking of speccing into resto on all my elemental shaman for the +25% healing stream... right now at 3 it means I can almost ignore my shaman on most fights and focus on dps and healing tank.

Shamans wil be fine after the patch, we're not too bad off right now, deep ele I can do 4500(its been so long since i was deep ele, all wws expired, so no link), so Im hoping t0 gain another 300ish dps from the patch.

How? Seriously.

Just like I'm doing 5500 as ele/hybrid spec. Yet no other shaman believes me until they see parses...I explained how in another thread, but honestly all it takes is practice, and making Your rotation perfect(yes I spent propably 4-5 hours on a dummy perfecting my rotation :/). Highest hybrid spec Ive seen other then me was 4780.

I would highly interested in any WWS you could get showing this, im curious to the see the data to figure out why many of the current 25 man t7 shamans are no where near that kind of DPS that is not a hybrid.

15 days expiration on our wws account is fail, i would love to show it, but like i said before i don't have access to it anymore.

Well I dont see the majority of us multiboxing shaman getting access to the gear you have. Until we can get full 25man gear our dps is going to suck. You should post your information on the shaman boards. I have not see anyone claiming dps numbers as high as you on any of them. Grats to you. :thumbsup:

I've seen a bunch of Niley's parses when he linked them a while back, he really did that crazy dps.

One thing I noticed at the time, he put down a searing totem which increased dps a bit. I think it was like 300 or 500 dps increase. I forget exactly, but that was something different from what I am/was doing.

I do reply on shaman boards from time to time,and give advice to people....but usually I try to avoid them, too many people trolling and crying about stuff. I like this forums a whole lot more

well just to keep this thread on right tracks, I found a ss that i think Ive posted before, thsi si from few weeks back, when my slave shammies didn't really had taht good of a gear(now they all have 2 piece t7 etc).
I did this dps test on a dummy, and with cast random macro, no heroism(You can see cd on exhaustion, but that's from my previous try on the heroic dummy)



and, Im changing my team too, its going to be Dk tank, Mage, Holy Priest, Elemental shaman x2 - started priest and mage yesterday, and they're almost 60 now. I was considering a moonkin, but I think I'll gain much more from a mage, 10% crit/water/ports/sheep/int, from moonkin i dont really get anything but motw/brez and o sh!t heal.
