    This is awesome. Just a suggestion: Guide for level 60-69 build progression for dungeon catered leveling as lvl 60 raid spec healer (at least T2?). For instance, I'm thinking Imp Reincarnation may be more valuable, etc. Naxx gear being so good is also a shock to me, so what Naxx farming should look like (suggested level/group size) for those of us that left at BWL/AQ40.

    You said that the totem twisting build probably won't be used by many shaman in tbc, right now my guild wants me to twist in Naxx and I really dislike the play style. Are there fewer twisting shaman because there will be fewer melee overall? Anyway, looking forward to more videos. Take care :)

  • @Stutzi152
    @Stutzi152 3 года назад

    Most of the things in this guide are really good covered, but I can’t agree to certain points: 1 Tailoring set isn’t as good as most people believe it is (yes Statwise PMC is really powerful), but whitement is not worth at all since Metagems are so huge, 2nd in T4 and T5 you will most likely wanna play with the haste proc metagem, the BH one isn’t not rly good for rshaman and the last point is professions in TBC and late game, no you can’t lose you profession and still have the items equit until you unequip them, except for enchanted rings (you will enchant your 2 BiS rings from BT and get rid of enchanting of you wanna min/Max), and your BiS professions for SWP (you mentioned the Alchmiestone) will be LW and Alchemy since the chest and the trinket are both bis pieces, the engineering goggles are good but not good enough!

    Ive been looking at old spreadsheets of gear (2007ish) and they place t4 above the tailoring items. Besides pre-raid bis hunting, it seems to me that the hassel of getting tailoring items wouldnt be worth it if they can be replaced in t4 content. Thoughts?

    • @kirarozu
      @kirarozu 3 года назад

  • @edwardelric8418
    @edwardelric8418 3 года назад

    One thing I noticed during the stats page... You mentioned spirit doesnt change from classic to TBC. While technically thats true, if you have a Priest running improved DI you will gain 10% of your spirit as healing power. I feel like this should be mentioned because whos not going to run with a priest? Does that change the importance between spirit and mp5? idk but its worth talking about.

  • @larssto
    @larssto 3 года назад

    Just a comment regarding crafting profession equipment and then subsequently dropping that profession. In Classic you could equip and unequip a profession item as long as it was soulbound to you, even if you no longer had the required profession. For instance, as a Warlock I crafted Robe of Void in Phase 1, then dropped Tailoring for Engineering for Phase 2 onwards. I was able to equip and unequip my Robe of the Void the despite no longer having Tailoring as a profession.

    • @DefcampMelderonTV
      @DefcampMelderonTV  3 года назад +1

      Its not a terrible racial at all. However, it has a very low base heal, so with around 1100 SP you are only looking at around 450 health per tick. Priest renews and Druid Rejuvs are more than double that. And, it may be free, but it has a cast time and a long CD. When you think, I could chain heal or cast GotN, you would rather Chain Heal in almost any circumstance. Not a bad thing to use at the start of combat as a tank hot with ES. Also, the hit from Heroic Presence gets outscaled very quickly

    • @nyroku8580
      @nyroku8580 3 года назад +1

      Alchemy/engineering/jc/enchanting all provide useful items that you will use or keep from Kara to sunwell (alchemy stone, goggles, gems, enchants).
      You will replace tailor cloth items at some point in t5 and t4 and heroic items can get you there with no problem.
      If you wanna keep 2 professions for pve i would go jc/enchanting for better gems and ring enchants. Alchemy and engineering are decent choices for the 1 item they offer (trinket vs goggles).
      These will be useful even in t6.

  • @PULAG

    • @hamsterpaj111
      @hamsterpaj111 3 года назад +1

      Yes and no. Your Lesser and major heal should only be used in Critical situations. LH quick low heal, and use instant heal for MH. It's abit more spamming CH for mana now in tbcc because everybody is trying to clear it ASAP running skips and shit and you need your mana to keep up with the quick groups(if they pull when you're drinking do not care, healers are the most important class in tbcc). It changes alot when you go into the tough heroics( SHH, SH ARCA). Then it's just about learning the class and feeling how your group is. A great way to learn how to use your CH is YOUR positioning. Never think the dps or tank will move to help, (they wont). But you cancelling a heal to turn your back to tank to stand behind that range will heal both the range and the tank.
      There is no real "guide" to heal, be it 5man,10, 25 or 40. You always have to adapt. That's why I have been healing since classic because it is the most fun role to play. No run is the same. Even if you run with the same team

  • @kasplat5874
    @kasplat5874 3 года назад

    You might not care to cover 1-69 for the various classes, especially since we don't know what patch level they'll pick for TBC, but the leveling experience is different than Classic, especially if they pick a late TBC patch level.
    Also, I'm guessing boosting will be even more out of control, though it is more likely going to be level 70 Protection Paladins that have the easiest time taking players through earlier content, even with quest and non-heroic gear.

    huh... maybe i misunderstand but it seems you don't value spirit much... and because of that I wonder on some of the prebis choices... like avian cloak of feathers... but not lifegiving cloak. Its a boe epic but its probably going to be about the same amount of accessible as the world boss one. Is this list just what is most accessible for most people or is it your list of absolute prebis? Also, do you know of a list that has several options.. like prebis then second and third best? That way I can at least be as close as I can until I am able to get certain drops. Maybe it takes me a little while to craft whitemend. What other options are there that are second or third best to whitemend?

    @EB-bl6cc 3 года назад +3

    -- long post, feel free to skip if you value your time --
    The most misleading thing about rsham guides (and healing guides in general, I guess) is that some stats can't be evaluated as easily as dps stats, you can't just plug them into a spreadsheet and get a value. Stats like mp5 you can't even begin to put a hard value on - its value can vary so wildly based on different variables (what the fight is like, how good your group's dps is, are you using pots/runes on cd?, how smart you are with the 5 second rule, how badly do you overheal, etc. etc.) The result of this is that mp5 is usually overvalued by.. well almost everyone! This will increasingly be the case if we get unbuffed values in TBC (seems likely) as the fights will be shorter than you see on pservers so you will need less mp5. But even on pservers, mp5 was overrated. The most effective way to approach healing is to think like an arcane mage. If it's a serious fight, you want to end the fight with very little mana left and as much healing as possible (while also not sniping other healers' heals if you can help it). This will keep people alive the most effectively. If you do your homework and learn the tricks of the trade you will be able to do this while ignoring the mp5 stat for most of the expansion. You do need a decent amount of mp5 at the very beginning (pre-bis for sure, and then some in T4. You can always keep different pieces in your bag to get a feel for what you're comfortable with) but playing smart you can basically ignore the stat in t5 and especially in t6. You get enough of it passively on gear that's good for you otherwise that it ends up being fine. Mainly I would suggest if you have two pieces that are similar, always choose the one with more +healing (or haste in t6) over the one with +mp5. And then keep a few pieces in the bag longterm (such as the mp5 trinket from ZA that no one ever wants so it's an easy grab) for the scant few fights in T6 where you actually need to care about mana. If you're simply good about chugging mana pots on cooldown (which shouldn't be a big deal from any coming from classic where the consumables grind is much worse) that is already a lot of mp5 and you will be way ahead of most people by doing that and prioritizing +heal (and later +haste). The TLDR of +healing vs. +mp5 is that +healing is ALWAYS helpful whereas mp5 is only occasionally helpful and often useless.
    That is not even mentioning the immeasurable values of +healing vs. +mp5, such as being able to keep people up better in burst healing situations. Getting leatherworking is great for drums of battle for burst heal situations and drums of resto the rest of the times as an additional partial mana pot for you and your party. I would say that it's the most important profession, even for rsham, and it's not even particularly close.. when considering greatest overall group output. Obviously if you're a little self-centered and only looking at personal output then an argument can be made for others. Having a little bit more healing or mp5 on a couple pieces of gear pales in comparison to the 100 overall static haste given by drums to your party (+80 haste 1/4 of the time x 5 players) or the 120 overall static mp5 to party given by drums of resto (24 x 5). Not to mention the flexibility to choose these things on-demand as the situation requires. Tailoring is great for the first 1/3 or so of the expansion - getting pieces that have some good stats - but plan on dropping it at some point in mid to late T5 (depending on when you get your drops). I'd recommend LW + Tailoring until you drop Tailoring, rather than LW + Engi. The value gains from the tailoring mooncloth pieces outweigh the gains from the engineering helm. Whitemend is also a thing if you need it, although it is less strong than the mooncloth pieces and will be replaced faster. Heading into T6 what the video says is a pretty good idea of what you can do, my main disagreement would be that LW is the priority over the others, not the other way around.
    @ totems, decent coverage here, there is some nuance you could add if you ever want to do a deeper dive type video. For instance - new shamans to TBC (whichever spec you play): get used to dropping your fire ele and THEN hitting lust, if you immediately slam lust and then remember to fire ele.. he won't be lusted; large dps loss. Also watch your GCDs around this point, they can become very crowded with the dropping of fire ele/casting lust/still trying to keep tank or whoever topped/etc. don't be afraid to delay your lust a couple seconds so your tank doesn't die lol
    You didn't list flametongue totem but there are some rare situations where it can be used. Mainly if air is occupied and you have a tank in the group that could still use something on his weapon. Maybe you are in the tank's group and he is getting destroyed so it's decided grace of air is needed for the +agi, and/or you don't want to parry haste the boss with WF. I'm not sure how it stacks up with sharpening stone but a lot of tanks aren't hardcore enough to carry that. Or weird 5 man situations like you have a mainly caster group so you're dropping wrath of air but there's a random dps warrior as your last dps and you know he's not using sharpening stone. Or you're dropping nature resist, etc. etc.
    Also mana spring 100% required over healing stream is not really true, if the fight is short and no one is going to run oom (shade of akama says hello) you might as well throw healing to make sure people in your group stay healthy. Or it's just dire straits and everyone is getting rekt and you really need to live, healing stream is obviously better assuming you can see it coming and don't have to waste a GCD mid-rapage. If you can't tell by now I'm very much a results-over-mp5 guy so you can understand my point of view here. Wiping from healable situations when a bunch of healers have plenty of mana is always a bad feeling.
    @ twisting, there's been a lot of research done on this for TBC, whether talking enh or resto, and you really need to be perfect in order for it to be worth, as the gains are minimal. Any mess ups (at all) and you would have been better off not twisting. Which is harder to avoid as resto than enh unless the healing needed is really light, since you'll be going multiple seconds without being able to cast a heal, and you have to make sure you aren't mid-cast when the time to twist comes. In some static fights where you can really concentrate on it, it is recommended if you can manage. Brutallus mainly where getting the dps high enough can be an issue for some raid groups. But overall you can basically ignore it, especially if you're resto. It's so seldom going to be worth it.
    @ downranks, I'd be interested to see why you ever think it's worth to cast rank 5 LHW. I've never downranked LHW, maybe I'll learn something here
    Sorry for the ramble, I have a good amount of experience playing an rsham at a high level in TBC but my thoughts aren't too well collected. Hopefully didn't come off as too much of a critic, the video is good and you put good time and effort into it. The mp5 thing grinds my gears whenever I see it. It's the same kind of thing as the people that mistakenly get taught that +hit is always king no matter what, and you should sacrifice all your stats and your newborn child at the altar of +hit.

      @@vaskontheroad8926 oh, yeah ancestral knowledge is trash until wrath when I think they change it to int or something. Early in TBC the best spec for pve Rsham imo is 0/0/61, there's just no great reasons to go outside the tree. The enh talents are trash, while ele only gives 3/3 elemental warding which is sorta ok, but not worth putting 8 points in the ele tree for IMO. Most places do recommend the 8/0/53 spec though. Once you get later in the expansion and start doing hyjal and ZA then the 0/7/54 ghost wolf spec is worth.
      With 0/0/61 you end up getting a few meh talents but they are still better than the stuff in the other trees, IMO

    There's a big difference between "here are all your spells and totems" and "these are the spells and totems you're actually going to use." And, unfortunately, at least based on my TBC experience from Karazhan up to and including Sunwell, you're leaning too heavily in the direction of the former in your keybindings section. I can write out a longer spiel about how 1,2,3,4 + alt mod + shift mod is enough to contain everything that you're going to use frequently, but I doubt anyone would care to read it.
    More spells are occasionally needed, but these are typically things that you know you're going to use well in advance, so moving your hand slightly to use them is not an issue. Similarly with totems. The vast majority of the time, you're going to drop a static set of the same 4, which means you plop all of them into a castsequence macro that you update if your group composition should for some reason change (won't happen mid-fight), and that's largely the end of it.
    Not to say that this is a bad video in any way - it's great. I just think you fell down on this one thing, which admittedly is something that a lot of guides do.

      If you're only getting 10% haste from Berserking it's competitive in T4 and 5; however, it gets out-scaled through the expansion and lacks the synergy with other on-use trinkets or abilities.
