Welcome to the Shaman Simple Questions thread. This thread is for all your simple questions which you expect to have simple answers and thus do not require their own thread.

Note that all forum rules still apply: we said simple questions, not stupid questions (which have no place on these forums). You're still expected to make a reasonable effort to find the answer yourself by searching and reading the threads and making use of spreadsheets and any other tools that may be available. If, however, you're fairly confident that your question is not easily answered with available information, but don't think it will generate sufficient discussion to require it's own thread, this is the place to ask.

Hi, yesterday I found a template here, to calculate my weapon speed EP, to put in LootRank. But today I cannot find it, even though I've searched for every possible search word I could come up with, I still haven't been able to find it.

Does anyone know the template, or can anyone give me a link to the template?

Yep, that's the one I was looking for. Thanks

By the way, what thread/page is that one in?


Edit: Ok, thanks.

Anyone have a list of the new coefficients for our different spells? Lightning Bolt/Lava Burst/CL/Flame Shock(does the glyph impact the coeff at all?).


Also, anyone know why they gave us two primary dps abilities that abbreviate to LB?

Along these same lines, does anyone know the coefficients for our heals? I'm trying to do some theorycrafting for resto shamans and the only tested coefficient I can find for -any- heal is on wowwiki, and that's 162% for healing touch.

There are buffs and debuffs that you'll see on Northrend mobs (Rabies - Spell - World of Warcraft springs immediately to mind) that increase your crit damage.

what glyphs will you suggest for a static shock build? http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?sham...30331131231051

currently i have WF, LS, LL Glyph (using FT offhand currently quite often)... but im thinking about the SS glyph...
any maths here?
thank you very much!

You definitely want the SS glyph. Get rid of the Lightning Shield glyph, it's a much lower DPS increase.

Does anyone know if the scaling on Feral Spirit is working correctly, and what the AP coefficient is?

How much hitrating do we enhancement shamans need at level 80? (Also answer in % since I'm currently level 78.)

Hope this question is chill for this thread, I haven't seen anything post-wotlk specifically about shaman professions, and I assume a lot of us are thinking the same thing: what professions would make sense for a shaman, or is it really too early to say which is "best"? The main things making it difficult for me to pick one is spec. I am currently leveling up and am skinning/mining and specced enhance. I am most likely going restoration once I hit 80, and want to pick professions best for that, but it'd be nice if it were good for enhance as well. I am leaning towards LW and JC or enchanting. LW is appealing for the equipment enchants, but I'm not really sure if there's going to be any useful bop items for all specs.

So yeah, basically just wondering if picking LW/enchanting/JC are all safe choices for all specs. I think they should be, but its a big investment and I'd like some feedback.

Since I don't think there are really any shaman specific benefits coming from professions since the gains have been pretty much streamlined. Due to mana constraints one might consider alchemy from resto point of view but the stone is not nearly as powerful as it was before, at least from my point of view.

For completeness: The WotLK profession thread is probably one of the best resources on this topic right now.

There is a nice summary of WotLK Prof benefits in the Resto TTT thread.

Does Duel Wield Specialzation affect spell hit also?

No. It also does not effect your hit when wielding a 2-hander.

But you should not wield a 2 hander.

As for best profession: I personally feel most shamans will take advantage of dual spec, and thus should consider professions with flexible buffs. I personally am sticking with enchanting and blacksmithing, as you don't get much more flexible than two extra gem slots.

So they changed their minds? Thats odd, I read the beta forums regularly and never saw a post saying they aren't going to. The only one I remember was shaman were reporting they still didnt scale.

I have all the healing coefs in my resto calc sheet. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

I have looked around and haven't seen it, has theorycrafting been done on Berserking vs Mongoose?

Well, some napkin math on the subject assuming they're both 1 ppm. Mongoose gives 120 Agi (132 with Kings) and 2% Haste (~65 haste rating). Assuming a 1.7 EP value on agility and a 1.3 value on haste rating (based on Rounced's numbers in the TTT) we get 288.5 EP from Mongoose (or 308.9 with Kings on), and a flat 400 AP from Berserking. Since they should have equal uptime, Beserking wins out from a straight EP standpoint.

I tried Icebreaker (for kicks) on a fast offhand -- proc was 130 damage, could crit, and never missed. The proc rate was really, really bad. 0.4% in the parse I looked at.

Has anyone tried Black Magic yet?

Generally, what stat balance should Resto shamans be looking at at level 80? A balance of spellpower, int, crit, haste and mana per 5 (using just generally the best iLevel item available for you in the slot?) or should we be stacking a stat (like haste, crit or mp5?)

Is there any "ideal" level of haste crit or spellpower at early level 80?
