If my 80 parties up with level 85 guildies, can he run the lower instances and get the random credit?Comment by 3151This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by BlizzoThe launcher has been up-dated. WoW LuancherComment by ryguywow, good thing they really did nothing at all 2 help Shamen with mana issues...
why on earth make 2 healing classes top of the rung.... pally priest... and leave the rest out 2 the damn fields
makes no sense go 2 a random as a seasoned shammy almost a damn instant kick from group.

Chain Heal's effectiveness has been increased by approximately 10%.....ya not what I was wanting 2 see... not bad but wont help mana issue

Healing Rain now has a 40-yard radius, up from 30, to be consistent with other shaman heals.... ya pretty nice but WAY 2 much mana being used

Tremor Totem has been redesigned. The totem is now usable under Fear, Charm, or Sleep effects, and pulses much more rapidly, but lasts 6 seconds and has a 1-minute cooldown..... do not even get me going on this .... 6 sec use and 1 min cool down ? /toss fail..

Greater Healing Wave mana cost has been increased by 10%; healing done has been increased by 20%. ...serious... what is the point make a heal better... but also make the mana cost more... ? how did that help ... really >?

well, that just about sums up the balancing for the Healers huh... nope even with the pally /cough nerfs they will still be top of the rung... and real close second will be priests... druids... then sitting in the pot of shi# is the shammy.. how sad...Comment by InterestThe Destro Warlock talent change to is incorrectly listed as in your notes.Comment by NekrotikBut since it was working well, they just HAD to go and take away 15% of the damage from Black Arrow and Explosive Shot. The rest is fine, but this change effects DPS without due cause.Comment by NatalakSo the +100 Int Enchant is that now totally gone? or did they make it so Now its +40 down from 100?
would love to keep +100 on the nice 259 Shield I have :)
Cause thats a HUGE! drop. well... at least they made up for it with the new alch trinkets :) yay!Comment by 683371This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by AdamsmTHE GLYPH OF ARCANE POWER IS STILL NOT WORKING
