[4xShaman Arena] Tactics Suggestions for Beginners

[Boylston]

Setup:
Try 4x tremor instead of throwing an earthbind in there.Although my healers have been pushing me to add an earthbind into my rotation so maybe I'm the one that needs to make the switch

I will try this. I don't feel that I'm getting fear bombed too badly, but I do tend to put a Frost Shock on all the targets that matter. Neither probably helps me too much, but I could see how your healers might like having an EB down so that a rogue/shammy who decides to break off and tie them up has to get there while slowed.

Burst macro: I used to use the orc racial always but the 15 second MS is a heavy price to pay afterwards. In your situation it may be worth it though to push your spell damage up a lot higher.

I have really debated this. I may try a few games without it and see if that helps. I've left it in place because of the preponderance of MS warriors... I figure I'm going to have some kind of healing debuff on anyhow.

Everything else on the list seems like you know what the game plan is. Also try not to use the burst combo unless your 90%+ sure it will drop the target.

If anything, I wait TOO long to use my burst combo. I need to get a better feel for when to use it so that I down folks sooner.



Thanks again for the commentary, Ellay. I think those of us that are just getting started now will have a tougher road to travel, but you're advice is helpful.
