This is a repost from the WotLK Shaman beta forum

I’m sure that most will have read my initial feedback that was posted by Malan in this thread: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...4749&pageNo=1&

What I’m going to look at today is how things have changed in 8770, and what issues/concerns may still be outstanding (bugs aside).

WotLK: Elemental Talents mk II

Posted 20/07/08 at 12:12 AM by Binkenstein

Since the beta information was released, some of this had to be changed. Please be aware that as WotLK is still in Beta, the talents discussed in this entry may change

So by now you should have seen the numerous fan site WotLK talent tree calculators that have sprung up. My favourite, as always, is WoWHead's. Most of us would have seen alpha information before now, but it's all been "underground" until the WWI in Paris.

Looking at the talents as they are, there are...

T6 Raiding and you! Part 3

Posted 25/06/08 at 9:04 PM by Binkenstein

The long overdue Part 3 of the T6 raiding review for elemental shaman.
  • Reliquary of Souls
    This is an un-usual fight, due to the auras for each essence (or phase).
    • Phase 1 - Essence of Suffering
      Straight forward DPS phase, no healing requirements at all
    • Phase 2 - Essence of Desire
      DPS again, but with a twist. You take 50% of the damage you deal, which means that you will get a fair amount of pushback on this phase. However, this is a good thing as it reduces the

Brain Lag, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Macro

The hardware macro that is.

First off, I know what you're thinking. Hardware macro = bad, right? Well, not quite.

Casual verses Hardcore Raiding

Posted 18/05/08 at 4:02 AM by Binkenstein
After the announcement that Death & Taxes was disbanding, an internal discussion was started on the Crux forums on having fun, which is especially important in a semi-casual guild such as our own.

As with all topics, it wandered a bit, but one point that arose was getting more enjoyment from using alternate characters, or "alts", more often. The suggestion revolved around the "cleared" content that we no longer run, or run when we run out of things to do (either due to clearing everything,...
