After the recent complains about the bugs and general power of our Enhancement Totem of Quaking Earth they changed the proc to be 400 AP instead of 200 AP. I have a link to the MMO-ITEM DB here.

It is kind of odd that no other shaman changes are listed for now, but well the improvement of the Totem will be a nice boost and we Enhancement Shamans will no longer run around with the Elemental Totem anymore.

Shaman

  • Totem of Quaking Earth: Each time you use your Lava Lash ability, you have a chance to gain 400 attack power for 18 sec.
    (Up from 200 Attack Power)

It is not yet in any official Patch Notes, but some Shamans confirmed this change already in the PTR Forum. Don’t forget to save up some emblems for the coming Patch!

Here it is, the new look of the site www.myrddin.de! It all started out when I noticed that Google often pointed visitors tot he wrong pages related to the search terms. I started the category “recent searches” to write some posts to get google to point at better content by targeting at the exact search terms.

When browsing for information about wordpress I realized that the look of the website was quite old and the “cool myrddin 3D model” (you can still find it under “My Characters“) cost a lot of loading time. Also there are some nice plugins that helped to improve serving content.

Now, if you come here via search engine, for example “mace rogue” the right sidebar will show the search query and a list of related posts. At the end of each post there is a link to other posts dealing with similar content. If that doesn’t help you can use the search function ont he right or any list of tags, categories, pages. Hopefully you find what you are looking for now!

Just notice the rogue stuff is rather outdated sinc eI stopped playing “Slant, the Mace Rogue” at the start of Tbc. Basically I am not trying to gather all information tha tis available, and prefer to provide summaries of Shaman related information and other “cool” stuff, like for example taming garwal.

Everything is modular now which makes it easier to add and modify new features.I know there are still a few glitches, but I am working on resolving things asap.

Thanks for stopping by!

Not that I am particularly eloquent, but I have no words to express my disappointment with the newly announced race and class combinations for the coming expansion Cataclysm for World of Warcraft.

Race and Class Matrix

I was so looking forward to play Worgen Shaman, could already see that menacing Worgen, wielding fierce weapons in his claws, blood smeared over his mail armor, spreading slobber all around while baring his fangs ready to tear the enemy’s throat out – ROOOOAAARR!!!!11!!!.

It would fit so perfect … but now we get lol Priestlol Worgen and Roguelol Worgen … I personally find that they do not fit the class at all. And we have enough races that can do those already. ZzzzzzZ. Now I can dust in the Horde Orc Shammy I prepared to Faction Change into Worgen once it would become available – Awwwww!

The same goes for Goblins, I saw them already in plate gear, casting holy spells, casting hammer of justice. Instead they become the 4th shaman race for the Horde. With all their attraction towards technical devices and gadgets I just don’t buy them as shamans.

Here is the list

Horde

Alliance

I am sure you are equally excited about the coming news form Blizzcon. Fortunately there are some free feeds with some sort of coverage! Thanks for sharing them!

While playing around with some wordpress functionalities I realized that my old theme was getting really old. No widget support and the posts are looking somewhat boring.

During the next days I’ll play around with themes and designs … If you realize that some things aren’t working as they should you should come back in a few days.

There will probably be minor design glitches, but the postings and comments should still be functioning. The new design will provide many useful interesting functions :-)

Looking through recent search queries I noticed some visitors that were lead here, but probably did not find what they were looking for.

“wow shaman disrupt spell Earth Shock”

Since 3.2 Earth Shock does no longer interrupt spellcasting. Instead it reduces Melee Attack Speed by 10%. Interrupts are now done by Wind Shear, which is off Global Cooldown. It is 1 buton more to use, but overall the better solution.

Since Wind Shear is off the global cooldown you can still use a macro like the one below to fake the old function:

#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/cast Wind Shear
/cast Earth Shock

You can also change it to Frost Shock for example for PvP.


“how to unmount vehicle wow”

Sometimes Vehicles in WoW bug and you can’t exit them, or some fancy addon prevents the action bar change. Here is a way to get around that:

/run if CanExitVehicle() then VehicleExit() end;

If you haven’t changed the default key bind “NumPad5″ to leave a vehicle then that might be an option for you aswell.


“best enchant for off hand shaman weapon”

current best Enhancement Shaman enchant for Off Hand is Berserking. Unless you mean Weapon imbues, then it would be Flame Tongue.


“Mount unmount Stealth Macro”

The best way to do this is most likely to enable “Auto Dismount in Flight” in the Interface -> Options -> Control section. Then you can hit the stealth button and it will auto dismount you. If you really want a macro for that then:

/dismount [mounted]
/cast Stealth

If you want to add some mounts to the macro then this should work, too

#showtooltip
/use [flyable, nomounted] Blue Wind Rider
/use [noflyable, nomounted] Armored Brown Bear
/dismount [mounted]
/use stealth

I would personally add the [nostealth] condition so I could mash it without becoming visible again:

#showtooltip
/use [flyable, nomounted, nostealth] Blue Wind Rider
/use [noflyable, nomounted, nostealth] Armored Brown Bear
/dismount [mounted]
/use stealth

I hope that helped. You are free to add comments below.
