The extra damage was nice on the transition phases since we don't run with a shaman in 10 man. BQL may have been fixed but the Lich King has no problem letting you Chicken Roar.Zosimanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-26434746259136977512010-03-29T23:15:51.370-05:002010-03-29T23:15:51.370-05:00I still stand by typhoon as a useful spell when mo...I still stand by typhoon as a useful spell when moving since if your dots are up you really cant do much else besides cast GotW. I would recommend at least trying it as a spell you cast on the move, on most fights it only equals about .5-1% of my damage, but that is free damage that I would not have made use of otherwise. It also has a use to get NG going for a hurricane if you actually need to aoe things on demand(of coarse you would glyph it for this).Dillybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05558248162798249488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-33484571550233371222010-03-29T11:15:12.147-05:002010-03-29T11:15:12.147-05:00I haven't checked since the change to BQL, but...I haven't checked since the change to BQL, but previously I was getting more than 10 procs of Owlkin Frenzy on Lich King. A 16-18% up time is nifty. This was with 3/3 talented. I'll know more in a day or two after getting back in there after the reset.Zosimanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-77545967829988395152010-03-28T15:30:59.485-05:002010-03-28T15:30:59.485-05:00No idea how they'll make eclipse work, but I l...No idea how they'll make eclipse work, but I like the "capacitor" behavior of the 4p10 bonus. You "charge it up" by critting, but once you stop critting (generally at high levels of crit this means moving) the charge is "released."<br /><br />I think they can actually use eclipse to even out our dps and overcome movement and RNG by allowing us to "store" the proc via charges and release it either over time or possibly even at our discretion.<br /><br />Another idea would be to fundamentally change either Starfire or Wrath to make one the better single target, mana inefficient, max dps spell, and give the other one a bit of splash damage, better mana efficiency, and lower dps.<br /><br />If they craft the fights with mana management more in mind, we'd be forced to choose which eclipse we want to proc situationally. Perhaps Lunar for an add phase, then Solar for a heroism/bloodlust "burn" phase.Duskstormnoreply@blogger.com
