Nikita,

Do you use Lava Surge?

I have seen something like it set up for DKs where one spell takes priority 1, then what ever spell you are clicking Priority 2. Its done with down and up clicks treated independently (As separate spells).



I left before they even changed tremor totem. What else has changed from a boxer point of view?

Also are Mages still OP as f$%#?

No, I dont use lava surge, when you go for a kill there is a high chance LvB would be on CD on 1 or more shamans. Fights are tougher, but in a good week I should be able to get to 2000 rating. Kinda depends on the teams im queing against.

Mages are decent, I blow em up fairly quick, one of the classes on my n1 kill prio list in arena. Just train the mage until he iceblocks, switch to another target, and when hes out, switch back to him. He wont last long

Lava surge: Gives your Flame Shock periodic damage ticks a 20% chance to reset the cooldown of your Lava Burst spell.

So provided each shaman casts flame shock at the same time on a target chances per tick of flame shock that 1 lava burst comes off cd is:

1- (0.8*0.8*0.8*0.8) = 59% chance per tick of flame shock that you get 1 lava burst cd reset

which basically means that if you have used your lava burst on target one, the chance is much higher that you can go for a kill faster with lava surge than without. having fs up on multiple target increases this effect even more

withpowerauras on your main you could easily create a symbol that shows up if all 4 lvb are available, or just how many

Lava Surge is good, in theory - but for multiboxing it's just not that effective. Having 4 lvbs hit at the same time is far greater than getting a proc on one. Raw DPS may go up, but it's all about smashing a dpses face in with burst.

Well, Ive tried using Lava Surge in my spec earlier in Cataclysm, but wasnt that happy with it. Think im gonna stick with my spec for now

There is no doubt that it is a good ability, the question is if it can be utilized well. I think the ONLY way to use it would be as a steady form of DPS. Probably bound to Number 1, where every DPS key you press hits 1, then the DPS key.

It will however add a 'out of sync' element to your team.

Ill try it out some time. Still getting everything re-set up.

I use it in PvE, but find little use of it in the arena im afraid as I said earlier, its too RNG based. And when I want dmg, I want my DMG! I go for mastery, so everytime I use my kill rotation, I get atleast 1 LvB/CL proc divided on all 4 shamans, and thats all I need!

[Nikita]

Thats right Alemi, I feel the same way. I know that FS, LvB, CL and earth shock x 4 will kill someone if I have 9 stacks on my shield. And since Im a mastery whore, I get procs from LvB and CL everytime I use my kill rotation.

Ok, you guys have a fair point. I ran a bunch of 5s, and they went really well!!! I like the changes to Shammy, I must say. I had a positive win ratio! Ha ha ha.

One thing my healer made me do, that I came to LOVE after a few games was to use Earthquake. Its a manna pig, but it locks down ALL the melee and rogues trying to stun lock my healer.

My games go like this:

• Run right at their gate,
• pop a macro that does Damage trinket, Spirit walkers grace, and drops totems (With 4 grounding, 4 Stone claw),
• Do a heavy burst rotation on an easy target,
• Even if he does / doesn't die, I drop a Earthquake on my feet, then Mass hex their entire team. By this time I have a full 9 stacks of Shield,
• Healer stuns some1, and I blow their face off. The rest of their team is hexed / stunned form the Earthquake.

It is working amazing!

Best part is that games are only 2 min, win or lose. Nice and fast.
