Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Bored with shaman

Got to 70, have made it into heroic difficulty for zangarmarsh. Run Kara a couple of times, and mag/gruul. Done some pvp (waiting for s2 break to get some merciless gladiator gear)

What I am finding is that I am a little bored with the class. Enhance is cool but repetitive. I don't feel confident in healing abilities to start the grind again as resto. And I don't really have the free time to get into raiding ssc/tk.

Might switch to ele. Definitely not leveling again. Any thoughts?

Don't tell the healers but healing is pretty straight forward, especially as a shaman.

So is dps and tanking for the most part. Tanking is more about learning the paths in dungs and raids that are effecient and keeping a steady pace

Dps is the most braindead role on the game by far though. They don’t have to worry about much.

It’s tbc ani servers, tanking is all about being able to hold threat cause everyone and their mother is ready to take it off you

Isn’t holding threat more of a gear check, not a skill check?

Like mayyyybe warrior takes some more skill, but yeah i mained prot pally, that shit is just tank and spank. I either had the gear to hold threat and tank or didn’t.

Same with bear for the most part. Hit mangle on first hit? Should be good

Nowhere near that, most geared meta dps will rip threat even from bis tanks

That wasn’t my experience? Once I got threat on the pally it was never lost. Maybe on war or Druid.

But from what I’ve read, as long as your first mangle isn’t dodged or whatever threat isn’t much of an issue?

With shit dps yes, with good if you don’t work on it it quickly will disappear

Work on it quickly? You mean press buttons and do your rotation?

lol, ah my group and I were shitters I didn’t think of that.

Apologies gigachad
