Survival or Marksman in New patch?
We’ll likely talk about the testing in this handy thready, but EJ is where the information I get comes from most of the time. Assuming the ES nerf is already on the live servers, and I think it is, I expect to be staying SV. There’s also the reemergence of immo trap rolling, which would be awesome if it is real. @ 14/57 – there certainly are a lot less talents you can skip in SV now. Not having aimed is really going to irritate me.

And for all I know people are still going for survival, albeit 0/14/57 now I think.- God Emperor of Hunters and Priest Forum Mean Person.

I currently run as Survival and I am enjoying it very much. However I noted in a random topic that someone mentioned speccing to MM after patch as it, in effect with the changes, gives you 4 free points to spend when the changes are made. Does this neccesarily mean that MM will be the new DPS build and out do Survival now? I tried spreading the points around on a calculator but until it comes out I cant really do the math or work it out, (not so hot at this maths stuff with WoW). Has anyone done any testing on PTR? Do any of you have any idea what you may do upon patch release? Let me know, I want to keep up with the times and do the job the Guild requires of me. I of course will load up on ammo and whack a training dummy to hell but additional help would be nice. Thanks in advance.-He said what now?
that you enjoy the new toon and hopefully you
Traded.Congradulations! I hope that you enjoy the new toon and hopefully you will have as mh or more ssess with your new Hybrid. just remember as you do Instaes on your way to 70 that youAN heal providing you try toollt a healing set to company you TankDPS set. This will help you get in to a few more groups trust me. Well the druid was already level 70, Feral Tank, with dps set also. I’m working on boomkin and resto sets atm. though not mh point with expansion around theorner. A Hybrid isnt a hybrid unless youan do anything when needed. So very true. So very, very true.I dinged 70 and after a few days resped to resto. In my hunt for gear I have pretty mh dided that sie no one will run anything with an under-geared healer (I understand I hate wing) I need to do BGs and get honor gear to get started. I did theher quest line in SMV and got the Staff of the Redeemer. I am not well geared and + healing is only 550. I was dirted to the Meiless Gladiator’s Salvation by a guild mate. My question is sie I have a blue staff with +194 healing should I save up 25.2k honor and get the one handed me with +423 healing and open up a hand for my weak trinket Karaborian Talisman or should I fus on spending some honor on things like belts, shoes, brers… Might give less +healing, but would have better all around gear. I know with the expansion all points get wed. Makes sense why. Sie I am just hitting 70 and starting on the BGs (did some at 29, but a lothanges between 29 and 70 lol) I want to know where to best budget my points. One final ? I am guessing that the new gear from the expansion will within a few levels reple anythingurrently available. So would it be better to get trinkets and idols that do things like Brutal Gladiator’s Idol of Tenity does – +131 final lifebloom heal? There is an 8k honor one that does +105 to final lifebloom or that for 1k arena points. Thanks for any adve. I enjoy healing andonstantly find myself in the top 3 in most BGs. I am still trying to figure out grid to use it to it’s fullapity, but it helps a lot. I hope what I hear about a real rez on the expansion is true… it is a dent part of why I am staying resto. Though I do miss DPStanking = alt leveling time. And yeah youan see my sweetness gear with the armory link in the sig…
for now, and get s2 weapons on honor
Ok, thanks. No. Get s1 weapons for now, and get s2 weapons on honor in s4.arukomp wrote:So what do you think? Is it worth it? How mh time and money I’m gonna need to get it? It’s worth it if you have nothing better to spend your money on (like me). It’ll probably take 2-3 weeks to powerlevel your blksmithing to 375, provided that you’re getting your ores off the AH. Without mining, my totalosts are running right around 1k gold right now, and I’m just under 300. It’s the Thorium that really kills your wallet. 300 to 365 is easy asake, but it’s 250-300 and 365-375 that are the hardest strehes.It depends on what you like to do. For most people, grinding the honor may be easier. I like raising professions myself, so I’d ponder going for something like that if I wasn’t doing leatherworking.A short prefe… I am not in any way supporting or opposing the ilusion of high level gear into any aspt of the game. I am by all intents and purposesompletelyasual. I have tually only partated in 10 arena mahes, still not keyed for kara not exalted with any ftion and have only ever maxed out one profession…Skinning (LOL!). I am bored in lab and dided to get on and ask a question to hopefully spawn enough diussion to pass the iubation time of myells… And now… Why are the S1 (and as I’m hearing now soon to be S2) that are available for Honor now beingalled “Welfare Eps”? Is it bause we as aommunity see theolor purple as something that should require the plannedoordination (and attendae) of at least 5 (thinking about Heros here) and most often 10-40 (at least bk in the day) people to repeatedly run the same enarios over and over again? Or the plannedoordination of 2,3,or 5 in a PvP setting? Perhaps its bause we don’t think that one should be able to solo and get eps (eept the random world drop)? What are the differees between Raid Eps and Welfare Eps: Raid Eps require at LEAST 5 people (I realize that heros arent raids but I use the term raid eps to elude profession eps and world drops) working together (and in reality usually 10 or 25).an this not be complished in BGs (premades? whh are themselves looked down upon sometimes as EZmode)? Ofourse it wont beommon but I don’t think there are manyommon raiding guilds that are good either. Raid Eps requireonsistent attendae. Well, I’ve never heard of anyone getting Welfares without “attending” the BGs. Raid Eps require you too tually kill stuff. Yea I know folk who justome to AV and “bot up” and still end the day with 2-4k honor if they farm for a few (3-5) hours and I’ve heard of people grinding honor and ending a holiday weekend with 15k-25k honor (I must lk fortitude bause Iant play that long…D4 startsalling me), so I realize that the tual “scess” in a BG doesn’t prlude the progression towards earning eps. Point for Raid in my book. What about Arena Eps and Welfares: Arena Eps require you to attend 10 mahes a week. Well we diussed attendae in BGs above. Arena Eps require you to haveoordination between either 2, 3 or 5 people. But do they? Mh like BGs welfares uan dae and killed feraped and still get eps. Well now Blizz has made so that youan’t get all the present season’s arena eps (weapons, shoulders) unless u are of aertain rating and as sh, presumably not daing and losing. Point for Arena in my book. Arena Eps require you to kill stuff and not doing so will impede progression towards said eps. Refer to above diussion of groupoordination for I believe it’s prtally idental and I don’t want tout and paste. Now the finale… “Welfare” eps seem to be for all intents and purposes, easier to get and require less skill. They are all less useful for PvE than PvE eps and less useful for PvP than arena eps. So is it just theolor? Or something else that sushi nubiri sh as myself don’t have the intellt (the RL kind) to understand. Okay 2hr and 15 mins left guys get to it.
allhange, you will be kited
Oe you hit 70 that will allhange, you will be kited by everyone, elemental will not be able to pew pew while that warrior hams him, and that hunter will dispell that restolamas earth shield.You opponents were not veryompetent I suppose I think. Rule number 1, never leave the shaman lone, or u’ll regret it, kekekek. Oe someone pays attention to u, u know what it’s like at lvl 70s. U die fast and oftenan only sit there and sk thumb, not being able to mh while beingc-ied, stunlked, rooted, watever. I don’t BG mh at lower levels, maybeCs are not as efftive then so it might not be as bad. I still try to mesh my shks, e. hoping for something to go off during a ‘break’ though. These days, my strategy is… be a poupine.oz I’m the number 1 target,.. so I try to survive (stk stam, ress) and let them take a while to kill me, while my teammates kill them, kekeke.

Anyways, I suppose at 70 I’m only seeing extremely welly geared shamans, and that you really lk in 2v2 and perhaps 3v3 (?). 5v5 I heard shamans shine though, and that’sause we’re a group orientedlass. I ran with a pk, and I was able to survive bause of great heals, fus fire, and over all a ne healthy mix of totemsshks. I suppose, however, that at 70 with all theC that bomes available to a lot oflasses thatould easilyhange. shrugs, at least I’m having fun.
BM PvP spec
This is my idea for PvP spec
like any comments on that please.
Would also like comments on pets.
fight bause then ian kill longer
I generally use demo shout every fight bause then ian kill longer without needing to eat or is it really not worth the points? and howould i fit prision in? what should i remove?solo. 25 imp demo shout is the most you need. more is just for pvp or raids with warlksastingurse of rklessness. mobs only have so mh AP, and with 25 imp demo shout you get right up on top of that number. I think it leaves them with 1-5 AP afterwards. Don’t use BT if you are using a 2h. It’s not better than slam. Sp 30 in fury, get flurry. then start going down the arms tree. Something like 2300 should work tell later. Going down the arms tree tell weapon sps and then around 70 you’ll resp to a more spif, pvp, pve dps, or pve tank roll.prision isn’t needed for 2h, also. for 70 2h pve dps, you’ll want blood frenzy, whh doesn’t provide enough points for more than 35 flurry, with MS. 33280 is alass pve dps 2h slam build. So sie then i took your adve and sped the 2300 build. I’m working my way down the arms tree now. Thanks for all your help. ^^Whatever happened to that guide that was on the site about PvP warriors? Imurrently using the 3120 Arms build. I just hit outland, and i just turned lvl 60. Soloing isn’t that bad butan be pretty hard at times. I have pretty good up-to-date gear. I just feel like ian just about get owned by anyone or any mob though, if there are two mobs my level are higher, ian take them but i usually have like 10-15% health after, whh is not good. Iurrently use a 2h sword. I usually hit like this : Rend > hamstring > sunder x5 > white > exute. Any input on this build would be great. Should i get some good tanking gear for groups? should i put some skills into prot to maybe get some more def or health?

as you wield a 2h It doesnt pr often
Unbridled Wrath is pretty mh useless aslong as you wield a 2h. It doesn’t pr often enough for a 2h to be as valuable as it is with a Dualwield build. Bloodfrenzy is better for PvE than PvP. Imp.harge is not worth 2 points when PvP’ing. You will probably be inombat most of the time. And as doodlewarriorommented, lose the points in prot and respend them in the fury tree, even though Last Stand is great. And Endless rage and Imp. MS isn’t that great. For doodlewarrior. Defltion is very valuable indeed. You will need it against all meelelasses (rogue, palla, warrior, druid(feral), Shamans(enhaement), hunters when in meele range and meele pets. Other than that, you should look in the stkies for builds…This is my old Arms build. It’s good in PvP and very useful in PvE. Youan swih the weapon sps as you see fit but I was using a 2h Axe at that time. Imp.harge is very viable in PvE and Imp. lap helps when you’re needed to tank in pre lvl 68 instaes. I’ve tanked using this sp and with the rightombination of gear, you shouldn’t get hit too hard, it’s just that the dps will have to wait for your sunders. With Imp.harge and the mob hitting you, you should be able to sneak in 3 sunders right off the bat. You’re going to have to learn to stae dae when tanking with the sp I mentioned. Battle Stae forharge and then swih to Defensive oe you have at least 2 – 3 sunders. With Ttal Mastery, your MS willause a lot more threat and also the 15 rage that you retain is preless. Other people will have better adve but this is the sp I’ve been using for a long time and it works for me. One more thing about being a warrior is that you need to have very deep pkets. Upgrade your gear often but most important, upgrade your weapon. Ehants will help out a lot. Look out for +damage if you want to wield a 2-hander or firey if you plan to go duel wield fury. At lvl 50 or so, invest inrusader and then Savagery when you hit the Outlands. Hope this helps.
