5 x Enchancement Shamans

[Firstcow]

Has anyone tried this before?

I'm going to give this a try. I just got them all full honor gear and just need to get them 5x Quel'Delars and offhands and set up macros and stuff.

Will start with BGs to test the waters and then give arena a try. It all depends on how often 5 x maelstroms proc. I noticed that a healing wave crits for about 9k in enhancement gear and my spell crit chance is about 23% so that's pretty good.

If 5x maelstroms can build up fast then this should work relatively similar with the paladin Art of War instant Flash of Lights, except that Rets FoL crits for a pathetic 5k.

Wish me luck

What's your goal with these guys?

I assume your going to get shot down by the forum... badly.

1h weapons? Squishy class?

Not sure man. You'll have decent mobility with all the earthbind totems, and great ability to snare the target if you round robin your frost shocks (as well as a non-round robin version for damage)

Monitoring the maelstrom procs is going to be a bit more of a bitch because unless you get a complicated, smart set-up, you'll ahve to wait for all 5 shaman to get 5 stacks before ANY of the shaman unleash it; this unfortunately is a lot longer than 5 shaman playing individually.

10 wolves will give you great passive healing and burst tho. I'm going to start building an enchancement set next on my 4 shaman, starting with 1800 weapons, then I'll start tossing points for the relentless gear, and farming honor for offpieces....

Be sure to stagger your talent spending, as not all shaman need to use the same points for the party buffs.

have fun! :-)

I expect you'll blow people up pretty well when you can get in melee, and when your CD's are available be nearly unstoppable, but otherwise Shaman don't have much in the way of durability in a fight.

Don't forget you can insta Chain Heal off Maelstrom Weapon, great if you're taking AoE.

Well, now I do Dk+4 rets at 1900 rating and almost no fight takes more than 1-2 mins. Either I die quickly or they die quickly. So that means the fact that the paladins have plate doesn't mean they are alot less squishier, it's true they don't die so much from the melees around me, they die from the casters, shamans lavabolting or warlocks chaosbolting or mages.

So with enchance if I keep spamming ground totems that means I will have some protection from the casters and I just need to handle the melees. If a war pops bladestorm, I go shamanistic rage, or a rogue focuses one shaman I put all the wolves on him forcing him to go defensive.

I'm not expecting any arena match to go longer than 1 min with this setup, unless they play defensive and run away from me, which rarely happens. I either blow them up quick before wolves go away, or they blow me.

If I can get 1600 to get 3 pieces of wrathful that would be awesome.

I've been toying around with this idea myself... That many wolves on some one is bound to really put the hurt on them lol.

It'd be fun, but relatively ineffective.

[drevil]

if you catchup on an enemy he will be dead instant (frost snare, multi purge, shocks, etc)

but the problem is, will you catchup to the enemy with nearly no freedom skills.

5 times talented earthbind is a good hand of freedom for the entire party. With a totem active every 2 seconds, that's pretty good really.

I guess it could have potential, maybe i should start gathering gear aswell :> Won't need any arena points anymore after i got my shoulders next week.

1 mage will fuck your life root root root wtf ...dead.... i was also thinking about doing enhance but then i thought about mages and i changed my mind.
