first, Strength next, then some2009-05-14 00:00:00At 40, you should fus on Stamina first, Strength next, then some Agility and Defense. You won't find mh real tank stuff, and mailplate will spell power is just rare at that point.
Don't gorazy with gear when you're leveling. Get Stamina whenever it's available, then get strength, spell power. Leveling with a mage, I guess you are doing a lot of AOE. You will need good HP (Obviously) but you don't get toonvert Stamina to spell power until 52 (you get full 30% at 52.) A lot of palys will tell you - get strength, but until you get "Tohed by the Light" you don't get toonvert stamina to spell pow...
lvl 40 Then, it's 100% plate2009-05-14 00:00:00To tank, make sure it's mail until lvl 40. Then, it's 100% plate armor. Key Stats to look for (while leveling): + Stamina + Defense Rating Oe you hit the levelap, that willhange. You'll need to start gearing avoidae.

So I was reading the paladin FAQ and they said for a tank you should have 200 bonus spell power. I have quite a bit of stamina, Ian easily reh 600 (if I'm not there already). Anyways there is a talent to irease spell power by 30% of your total stamina, so that would ...
these numbers won't2009-05-09 00:00:00Lets do some hypothetal math, these numbers won't realistally mah anything in-game but ok, lets have fun. Lets say a normal healing shaman (party buffed) has approx 150 mp5 just from gear and mana totem. Big healsost lets say, 650 mana, small heals 330 mana. And on a boss fight (depending on mitigation) lets say you have to heal with at least one heal every 4 sonds, At least two big heals to one small heal. 1630 mana per heals every 12 sonds. Or with tidal mastery its only 1549 (rounded up). And you'll gain a little more than 360 mana bk. So you save about 81 mana every 12 sonds, whh is pretty mh equal to roughly 34 ...
one they suggested, just bause2009-05-09 00:00:00I don't know about the first one they suggested, just bause I always seemed to have threat generation issues as is, without getting faster LBasts. I'd go for the mana regen one just bause A) It's going to irease your mana pool B) Spellrit % and ) Help toorrt the #1 issue for Elem shamans to date: Longevity. And get an orange SpellritDmg gem for the yellow slot. About 80g for both.
getting a halfast time lightning bolt would be overkill. that would make theast time less than the ...
its not your fault, its2009-05-05 00:00:00nothing that youan do. it's not your fault, it's the fault of the tank not knowing how to TPS properly. if i rememberorrtly... sheild slam > revenge > devestation > hero strike in terms of priority.. with shield blk being used as often as possible and hero strike only used if you go above 50 rage... generally mro'd into being used with any of the above so as to be used as mh as possible... oh and the sheild slamrevenge thing might be reversed at lower gear levels due to less strength and shield blk value gear (or is it rating... i always forget) find a tank that knows this and regardless of their gear, they'll beable to push out 800-1000 tps MINIMUM.. with T4-T5 equed pushing out up to 1.2k TPS and T6 geared doing up to 1.6 TPS average. so umm.. yeah, nothing youan do to sort your tps over than adjust your spell rotation. Ihked your a...
higher lvl raids, but as I2009-05-05 00:00:00I wish Iould get into the higher lvl raids, but as I said my hedule shoots that all to hell. Seeing as how my guild fell apart while I was AFK I'm just happy to get into Kara pugs at this point even though the tanks are usually hero with some kara gear, one tually said he felt dead inside after trying to deal with my threat :( I very rarly useoD oroA on a normal rotation. It's alwaysoS or whatever the group needs, albiet I never thought of putting upoR to help the tanks threat. I shall also give the downranked Shadowbolts a try and if that doesn't work I might swih to Felguard. Havn't used a pet i...
I am getting ready to get to the level where2009-05-04 00:00:00Well I haven't seen it here so I will ask. I am getting ready to get to the level where Ian slap some points in this talent and was wondering how good is it? I pked up sond wind whh I like and it feels like it helps alot. However I would like to know would this extra little buff help me? Does it stk with Sond wind? Didn't really see anything on it in Rz's guide... Im gonna rhk the other one again but the title seemed to be for somethingompletely different. Thanks for y...
it might be better than SB for the2009-05-04 00:00:00That's kind of what I was thinking. I figured it might be better than SB for the hunter's but I don't see how mh I would really get bk out of it a tk. I read the talent some more and the more I look at it the more it seems like a veriant of Spirit bond. I also didn't realize until I revisited the talent tree that I would need 3 points in it in order for it to be efftive. Some how I missed that last time. I prolly will drop one of those points in pieing howl as I was planning on taking that anyway. Alsoommanding pressee l...
