Raiding at 80 + AoE Changes

Level 80 rocks, and questing is fun. WotLK >> TBC.

Anywho, a few of us have gone into Naxx 10 over the weekend, and it's been a good run. Finally got to see all the stuff that I missed, and learnt a few more things about elemental.

Things I Learnt:
  1. Hex. This is a cool spell, especially when I hex, bolt, flame shock, and then burst the mob dead.
  2. Lava Burst. The 100% crit chance is nice, but the animation is fairly impressive (think a darker Pyroblast).
  3. Thunderstorm.

Sporeggar rep farming made easy

Posted 31/10/08 at 9:14 PM by Binkenstein
Do you want exalted Sporeggar? I did.

I was going to buy all the [Sanguine Hibiscus] I needed, but the AH was out. This did not deter me. I started doing the Naga kill quests, and even though I'm overgeared, it took a while.

However, I have an alt druid and thought "a 62-64 instance can't be that hard". I was right.
  1. Get a raid of offline people to max Protector of the Pack
  2. Get Glyph of Maul
  3. Spec for Berserk and use it whenever it is up
  4. Use Survival Instincts

WotLK: The Lava Burst Conundrum

Posted 28/10/08 at 7:50 PM by Binkenstein
So from feedback from Ghostcrawler & co, Elemental DPS at 70 is a bit "low", but it is expected that this will pick up when we get Lava Burst. Most players seem to disagree on scaling grounds, citing the lack of empowerment talents, and the limited scaling talents (Concussion, Call of Flame, Overload, Lava Flows, Storm Earth & Fire), of which only 2-3 affect any one spell.

However, there's one thing that seems to have gone unnoticed so far. The Haste Problem. More specifically, the...

Elemental Beta Thoughts & Impressions

Posted 24/08/08 at 8:07 AM by Binkenstein

I'm currently 73 at the moment, running around with a 51/0/12 build. This is mostly because Elemental Oath is "broken" (increases mana cost rather than decreasing) as well as the fact that stack buffs like that aren't that useful in a levelling sense.

Thunderstorm so far is very fun to use. There's the usual Frost Shock + Thunderstorm trick to get a mob far enough away to kill it before it gets back and running away with Earthbind down. I've also been using it in a "crowd control"...
