Heroics w/ Melee team

[BrothelMeister]

Properly geared ele shaman do not go oom.

By properly I just mean crit (crits cause clearcasting, which saves mana) combined with a Tstorm in between pulls, or during, and I never go oom.

Even with a bad tank, I can still fly through heroics without stopping.

It cant be overstated enough with melee. You need to get the best weapon you can get as soon as possible. It is such a difference maker, its a little upsetting that blizzard designed melee around it so much.

It makes buying hilts worth it if youre brand new 80 imo

Cannot emphasize enough that weapons on your rets will help keep your tank alive better...

When they do more Divine Storm damage, the whole team gets more heals. Beg, borrow, or steal your way into some better weaponry. Run heroics in LFD with each pally solo if you need to. The ICC heroics and PoS normal mode (for 219 hammer) are very good options.

Golden fist weapons......made out of accumulated gold coins






















































Then trading those for hilts or 1800 weapons.

Seriously, why go thru the pain. There not that expensive.

Devourer of Souls is a survival fight, the trick is to simply take your time. Mirrored Soul can tear you apart, so just stop DPSing for a few seconds if you're taking too much damage, or stop your rotation and let it just be white damage while you heal

Same for Krick and Ick, first few times for me that took like 6 minutes

That's the thing - I'm not DPSing during it. I stop doing ANYTHING except trying to heal myself, right when it says that it'll be cast, but he starts doing just stupid amounts of damage out of nowhere and literally everyone is dead before I can get a flash of light off. It's crazy.

Well, sure, if you want to be all *logical* about it. I'll try that once I get over the brain damage that is being caused by setting up ISBoxer.

Edit: Yay, I have it set up and working the way I want it - but hoo, boy, it's been frustrating I think drinking while doing anything remotely geeky like setting up new software is not a good mix. Now I shall try the whole "backing away from the damage" thing you suggest!

oops.. I didn't even mean Divine Storm on rotation, however that may help a little too.

The DS/DS rotation is shorthand for Divine Shield / Divine Sacrifice. Basically, you pop Divine Shield on one of your paladins, then immediately pop Divine Sacrifice. With 2 points in Divine Guardian, Your entire party takes 50% less damage for 6 seconds, another another 30% less damage for another 4 seconds. All the damage is redirected to the paladin and if he's got divine shield up, he won't be taking any damage. If you stagger that during a fight, you'll have 40 seconds of damage reduction.

Yes, the 1-80 dungeons were really easy. Gear is the big equation here. Melee scales a lot better than casters, so with a few upgrades, you'll start to "feel" the difference, and the next thing you know you'll be flying through them.
