1. What level is your shaman?
80
2. What spec is your shaman?
Resto/Ele
3. Why did you pick your spec?
I liked the healing aspect of the game so I decided to give it a try. After a while, I realized I was leveling way to slow so I dual specced as an Elemental Shaman so I could quest faster.
4. Was your shaman your first character? If not, what was?
No, but its the second one. My first toon was a Dwarf Hunter. I quit him at level 30ish.
5. What compelled you to make a shaman?
There were a bunch of reasons. One was I only had Classic so I decided to make the opposite of a paladin since I wanted to be Horde. I chose the Tauren race mostly because of its size.
At the time, I only had the classic wow and I wanted to play Horde
6. What is your favorite shaman spell?
Lava Burst.
7. Are you excited for the shaman cata changes?
Well there is that nice clearcasting spell, which allows shamans to cast while moving, but I still want them to modernize the totem system.
8. What spec did you level with?
Resto till 62 then I dual-specced with Elemental till 80.
9. Do you feel satisfied with the shaman playstyle?
Yep. I love the strategy with the totems, but I feel that totems should at least be mobile rather than casting them every 30 feet.
10. Do you think shamans are overpowered, underpowered, or just right?
I'd say they are just right, but totems need to be fixed.

1. 56
2. Elemental & Resto
3. I love firing lightning bolt and Chain Heal is such a classic spell
4. No, my Paladin was my first character
5. Curiosity of the class and lore. Being American Indian myself, I could empathize with the lore and ideology of the class.
6. Chain Heal
7. Oh yeh, new attacks and spec changes look awesome!
8. Resto with the Dungeon Quo and elemental latter on
9. As a 56 shammy, yeh I am
10. Currently, just right

1. Level 80
2. Elemental/Resto
3. The Elemental playstyle looked like a lot of fun. My main is a priest, and has been for 5 years, so I decided to try a totally different playstyle (I rolled my shaman back in BC). I also love healing, so I wanted to level another healer.
4. He was my second serious character, and my second 80 (my first was my priest).
5) Big crits and lightning bolt spam =)
6) Tough choice. I'm gonna have to go with Lava Burst. It hits hard, and it was extremely welcome, thanks to the Lightning Bolt spam that was BC.
7)Very. Elemental is getting a lot of changes we need (like Totem of Wrath being passive on all fire totems, a smarter Searing Totem, and a channeled AoE). Unleash Weapon looks like a lot of fun and will add some spice to the Elemental rotation, and Spiritwalker's Grace looks great. Resto seems fine. We're probably the least affected by the new healing model, since it's kinda similar to the model we already have, and Healing Rain looks very cool
8) I leveled enhance till around 30, got bored, and went Elemental the rest of the way. Much more fun.
9) Elemental is a bit dull in PvE, since we only use 3 spells. Resto's a lot of fun, though I wish we were more mobile.
10) I'd say that Resto is just right, and Elemental is a little underpowered. Can't say anything about Enhance.

1. 80
2. Ele PvE and Ele PvP, sometimes Resto PvE instead of Ele PvP to help guild out.
3. I like throwing out bolts of lightning and lava :)
4. A priest was my first character, back before BC came out. I didn't know much about the game and only got her to like 24. Once BC came out I rolled a shammy and instantly enjoyed it. Although I have 8 level 80s now, I still raid on my shaman and rarely play my alts. I've been playing since 2006 =).
5. I just liked the idea of a hybrid class that wasn't a druid or a priest. The idea of totems caught my eye as well, so picking a shaman worked out nicely for me.
6. LOLvaburst :)
7. Yes, although a lot of people make them seem bad. I look forward to continue playing elemental, but feeling more like I'm gambling with lavaburst's cooldown resetting more often.
8. Enhance until 45, switched to Ele, played it until 60 -- went resto until 63, switched back to Ele until 70. Then, of course I leveled in Wrath to 80 as Elemental.
9. Sometimes when I'm feeling a little lazy I enjoy it, although I would like for there to feel like there's at least some skill involved in the Elemental rotation. This is why I'm a bit excited about the changes in Cata. Hopefully I can see them for myself though!
10. I think elemental is a little underpowered, but that's okay, I don't think it's THAT bad. Resto is fine, and I don't really have much to say about Enhance because I'm not an experienced Enhancement shaman.

3. I never liked the so blunt rotation of elemental, and I also lvled as enhancement.
4. No, I think it was a hunter.
5. Alot of forum reading got me wanting to try it out.

10. DPS wise we're just right, I guess, alltho I would LOVE to get a bit more HP in raids, or in general. My guild had a saying: "If Yall doesn't die on this first trash pull cause of 1 hit, the raid won't work"

2. What spec is your shaman?
PVE Enhanc, resto OS
3. Why did you pick your spec?

4. Was your shaman your first character? If not, what was?
Hunter
5. What compelled you to make a shaman?
Curiosity, none of my guildies at the time were shammies
6. What is your favorite shaman spell?
Feral spirit
7. Are you excited for the shaman cata changes?
I haven't read up enough on them to comment
8. What spec did you level with?
Enhance
9. Do you feel satisfied with the shaman playstyle?
I love it
10. Do you think shamans are overpowered, underpowered, or just right?
It's al situational. High mobility fights don't suit enhance very well, feral spirit helps with those but when we can stand still and hit things, we are right up there.
