Thanks

Free target Idol of Malos! =) Place it where you want to drop it hehe.


only thing I seen so far.

[zorgothx]

The spells I've seen on Test so far have been very underwhelming.. I basically passed on all the level 91 spells (at least the ones on the spell vendor).. there was an upgrade to our regular disease dot (which I never cast) and several single target versions of our group buffs (which I ALMOST never cast). We get an upgrade to our disease quick-dot at 92, which is decent.. but that was the only lvl 92 spell I saw worth buying.

so we got a free target malos ... woopie and a bunch of spells noone is going to want thats it ?
were there any shaman in beta?
i heard clerics in raid channel tonight raving about all the new heal spells they got we didnt get anything good?

[SBBD]

The dev's were complaining that shaman gave almost no ideas and feedback so they gave us what they wanted.Next time we need to be loud about what we need.

[zorgothx]

I probably shouldn't complain.. I mean, I'm pretty happy with our class as a whole. The devs have been pretty good to us in the last couple expansions. *shrug* If I had to ask for anything, then it would be something to make up for the quick-dot nerf on raids. Oh well, I can deal.

Interesting AA we got, mirrored pestilence-gives our dot's a chance to twinproc each tic. Worthless aa we got was double attack.

Is this the same cheetah of old that drops the first time you get hit? I can't remember if spells landing on you knocked it off too. With the prevalence of mounts these days, this might only be useful in indoor zones.

Quote: "but after Cheetah they then asked for slow!"
This line just struck me when I read it. They get one powerful new ability (VP,) we got 115%, possibly very fragile, arguably not very useful, runspeed enhancement and then they come back and ask for another powerful(?) new ability. I haven't been keeping up with class balance lately. Are druids in need of help these days?

Lol, I was referring to the double-attack AA. Which, I might add, I'm not against.. it's a fun little addition for the few shammie out their who enjoy meleeing.

"Preincarnation (casts base rank of the spell)"

Base Rank?! Why would anybody use this? It would be better to use the level 75 Second Life Rk2 spell (which is easy to get and has a better chance of saving my life), than this AA. Is this just there so people with boxed shaman don't have to bother going back to old content to get spells?

[Retron]

[Dobbs]

I asked for it, however, I asked for it to have multiple ranks that would lead to it being innate over a duration buff.

Dont think Beta is what they are talking about.

This thread is what I am assuming they are talking about.
