Questions concerning shamans etc

[Stridsberg]

So!

I've decided that my first group will consist of 5 shamans.
It may not be optimal but i WILL make it work.
Thought of adding warriors but it just dont like the playstyle..

With 5 shamans i can cast 1 Chained lightning 1-2 Lightning bolts 1 chock even before the mobs are in melee range. Thats ALOT of damage before the mob gets to me. Then i can switch to melee and just tank them while white damage and fire totems finishes them off. (hopefully)

Spellcasters will be negated some thanks to grounding totems and Earth chocks



Specc:

One of them will be specced into restoration for mana intense fights, Ancestral healing for a 25% armor boost etc

Depending on how well it goes the other 4 will be elemental specced and if the dungeons are hard go 20 or 21 into Enhancement for all the defensive talents like Shield Spec, Anticipation, Thoughness, parry.

If they aren't that hard they will go 20 or 21 into restoration for Natures Guidance, Tidal mastery and maby even Natures Swiftness instead of Elemental mastery.

One will specc into Guardian totem, seconds Enhancing Totems, third Earths Grasp, fourth Restorative Totems

Usable items:

https://classic.wowhead.com/item=7954/the-shatterer With 5 shamans pounding on a mob with windfury i see this weapon proccing all the time wich may help alof on survivability
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=135...ightning-bolts Will try my hardest to have this on all my shamans..
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=205...d-water-spirit A mana totem that stacks with your party.. 5 please...
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=213...-the-timbermaw Dont know if this will be worth grinding.. Any Thoughts?
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=7734/six-demon-bag Don't know how expensive these will be but together with 5x ramstein lightning bolts thats ALOT of instant damage.

Any other nifty items i may have forgotten?

Race:

I've decided to go with Tauren cause of their 5% hp boost and i think that War stomp beats the troll Bezerking.. I can use it on a roundrobin button for panic situations and stun while i heal my team up.

Professions:
I havent decided on everything but i this is an idea
Engineering on all characters. Bombs, dynamite and maby even Goblin rocket helmet could help with some CC. repairbot ofc
Enchanting on one is a must for disenchants from dungeons
Skinning for instant profit
Mining will i leave out untill BRD for the Dark iron
Herbalism perhaps

Second team:
4 druids/Rogues
These will have the other professions like Alchemy, tailoring, leatherworking, blacksmithing etc for cooldowns and such.

I will save up a lot of bag space if i can send all the mats for pots etc to a character i dont run dungeons with .

What if i want a specific item on my main character once i start raiding? Wouldnt it be optimal then to have a 4 druids running stealth throw a dungeon and just kill that specific boss over and over untill the item drops while my shaman just stands at the entrance? Or does he need to be near the boss while its getting looted?





I will be playing on a European server and are always looking for new friends!

If you got any tips and tricks please do share!

See you out there!

5 shamans is a team I want to have also, for pvp.
But I want to have a large variety of classes and I want all the other casters so going to lvl them first but really tempting to level shamans.

The aoe nuke and instant damage is so good.

Shocks non crit ~650, so ~3.5-4k damage every time shock is used, or more if lucky.
Instant chain lightning that does slightly more damage and jumps. (or instant spell to heal)
Fire Nova Totem ~450-500 damage non crit, so around 2.5k damage with 5 totems.
Goblin Sapper Charge 600 damage each so ~3k with everyone.
Ramsteins Lightning Bolts 1k damage to everything nearby.

Goblin Sapper Charge + Fire Nova Totem should almost guarantee that everything nearby dies.
1 shock or instant chain lightning should kill most people that aren't too geared.

Grounding totem doesn't break unless direct damage spells are used.

55% increased movement speed with ghost wolf with pvp boots. That is pretty nice also.

Really strong spells, easy to play and works really well to nuke with.

5x shaman works. At the lower levels, I leveled mine as enhance and switched to elemental post-60 in one of the expansions. The good thing about classic was that you could drop totems twice (i.e. 10 totems-ish) and a lot of buffs/resists covered. Early on, I seem to remember 5x healing stream totems stacking as well, and that was enough to cover random/AoE damage though still wasn't enough to cover incoming aggro melee damage. Sadly, I didn't have time to try that in the beta stress test, though I may give that a shot in the next one.

What EU server will you be on? I'm making 5 shaman, 5druids and a mixed team. Could use a buddy for UBRS and other fun
