Huato

Zuato still needs Drak's blood too, so count him in as long as I don't get too much wife/kid aggro. (Gotta be careful raiding so much during the week with Wed-Thurs being big raid nights. Get lots of aggro for that).

Congrats!! Glad you were able to get it done last night!

There's a nice leather healing head piece in the North side...non-tribute though. Tribute runs are fun, relatively quick, and result in a lot of nice gear. Zuato also needs Drak's blood for his Ony key, so I'd be down with brining him, or Huato if needed instead to LBRS/UBRS.

Looks like you need more Shaman in your group And look who is back!

You've got a few of us that are willing to make that grind with ya Chrys!

Congratulations!! He's a big one too!

Last night ran very well, and I think we're close to being able to take her on our first attempt. I wish that the server hadn't been as lag ridden as it was, but we did a much better job taking her down than on our first time downing her. Very pleased that we did so well, and look forward to taking her down again in two weeks time.

Invulnerabilty pots don't last more than a few seconds and are only good against physical, so that can't be it.

I'm pretty sure priest shields can be purged too...but my memory is failing me there. Anyhow, that is very unusual, and an exploit if they are able to do that.

Innervate has a 6 minute cooldown. The fact you can heal that well as a priest is damned impressive, and I firmly believe Shaman can outheal priests in certain instances (also depends on spec too)...Huato has been in the top 10 list of healers often in MC, and he is not resto spec, so I can only imagine how much better a full resto Shaman would be, and one that has all the healing gear you have.

Definitely count me in on this anytime I am able to with either Huato or Zuato.

lol Amazingly enough...all of my UI add-ons worked fine. I really *should* go look for the updated versions now though.

I find with Zuato that I tend to innervate myself during the long boss fights vs. a priest because as it stands now most of the priests we go to the core with have higher Spirit and more +mana/5 gear than Zuato does, so they don't run out as quickly. Now that I am getting more +Int, +Spirit and mana/5 I do innervate priests more often. The other reason is that the priests have been doing more de-magicing leaving us Druids and Shaman to do the healing on the MT and parties. As for innervating a resto spec Shaman that is assigned to a tank for a boss encounter, yes, I would innervate them if necessary since they are a primary healer. It's amazing how Blizzard made only one class Horde side with the ability to de-magic, yet give their tertiary healing class limited healing compared to the Paladin...so we have to put priests on de-magicing duty and have the Druids and Shaman heal. Not that big of an issue really, but shaman have the WORST mana regen from spirit of any caster/healer class in the game. I can sympathize since I have both a 60 Shaman and Druid. That said...we've suffered a shortage of Druids with the exception of one night in our MC runs. For a long time only Ionas and I (regulars) had innervate, as we were the only two druids that attended regularly that were fully restoration specced. Now that it is trainable I can see us using it more, however we usually average 2 to 3 Druids per run as is, so we have to be picky about who gets innervated at this point in time. We've even had a shortage of Shaman lately too, but fortunately we received an influx of priests to help compensate. I do love the swiftmend talent. I can pop a rejuv on, swiftmend and immediately throw another up for a lot of healing fast.

For those (like me) that want to get more AD rep quickly, a fine Troll Mage by the name of Myrdoch posted this on the AC forums (quoting since a few don't have accounts there yet): Aside from working to exalted for free keying to Naxx, there are very nice benefits to getting at least to revered with AD...the primary reason being that you can get a +5 resist of your choice enchant at revered from the AD Quartermaster for 9 gold. At exalted this enchant becomes a +5 to ALL resistances on the shoulders (not sure of the cost). Other patterns and recipes open up as you move up the rep tree with the Argent Dawn as well, so overall it is a very worth while thing to do.

Oooh...hopefully it kills the window permanently...I had that thing pop up about 15 times during the Magmadar fight last night

So last night was the first chance I really got to try this new 31 point talent out and I love it! There were a few times I had cast a rejuv or regrowth on one of the tanks and their health started going down too fast for the heal over time to keep up...no problem. Swiftmend for the insta heal and pop another on! And of course we all got innervate, but cost 1gold and a few silver. Don't forget to train it!

Cwn/Fomor = kick a$$

With all the flagged alliance around the Necrops around the world last night it was very tempting to get together a little strike force and hit them. Since they wanted to try and discourage horde and others from getting AD rep, I was considering getting a little honor from their corpses.

I'm cool with having him in!

I hope they weren't nerfed...I'm really enjoying my mage, even at level 13. Our run in Strath last night was crit city for me...I couldn't believe it. Not sure if it was just a lot of luck or what.

I'm happy so far with the patch...lots of cool new stuff, and the Shaman review for my build was great! My flametongue and frost brand wepon buffs plus my totems all benefit from + damage now...windfury nerf? No problem. I'll just do fire or frost damage on swings instead...and I'm seeing fire damage in the 230 to 260 range with flametongue.

It still misses a lot of stuff that went on and you missed

Ack! I'm hoping by the time I get home they have everything sorted out, but I'm not counting on it sadly.

Thanks Chemmy! As soon as I can get home and on the computer I will download it.

This patch has that functionality...sort of. It doesn't seem to put windows up but rather puts an icon over the MT's head which theoretically makes it easier to find them (from what I gather from the notes)...unless Zuato is standing toward the front of the raid with his Redemption staff...I've been told it can be seen over all the other Tauren in the raid from clear in the back...by a Forsaken.
