Huato

Ok, will do...I need 11 transmutes at the moment. I used Zuato's last night, so he's down till tomorrow night.

Welcome Ionas!! Now if we can get Zuato attuned (he's our other Resto Druid), we can keep the party alive! That aside, I love that we can spec our characters however we want. My Shaman is 35 elemental, 11 enhance, 5 resto. My damage output is up and I still usually fall in the top 10 for healing on our MC runs.

I didn't figure it was, I just didn't want to jump over there and mislead you guys and gals by joining. I'm going to get beat for this, but I am thinking I may roll up a Draenei Paladin when the expansion hits...they are about the size of the Tauren, and I'd like to get an idea on how Paladin's play vs. the Shaman. I just can't get into playing a human or dwarf, so I'd have to wait till then. *ducks*

I'd be interested if I could log in by then I've wanted to go there for a long time, truth be told. Looks like a really unique instance.

Awesome! Thanks guys!! I need a few done in the next couple of days, so I will be hitting you up. And I need to thank Ghules for help as well! Thanks man!! I owe you big!

Well, the biggest hint is it takes 50 arcanite bars. I'm ultimately going for arcanite bars, but the crystals are cheaper. I can mine the thorium in bulk, and Zuato can do transmutes, although only one every 2 days. I'm also sending out messages in the channels for transmutes from time to time too...if I had to transmute all the crystals myself it'd end up being 100 days just to get them made.

Wow...going to have to hit you up for some then! And I'm with Zilog! Wow! I wish I had that problem at the moment! lol Edit: I still need a LOT of these everyone I currently have 5 bars and 3 crystals.

After seeing Volonazra off through the Dark Portal, Huato returned to the camp Clan Skullcrusher called home. There was an eerie calm over the camp after the events that had transpired, and it was odd for the place to be so quiet. There was almost always two or more Crushers dueling for the heck of it or fighting over the remnants of a humie or night elf, but not tonight. Volonazra's tower stood empty and silent in the middle of the camp, and Huato paused in front of it and looked up to where Vol used to go to study and reflect and wondered how soon that tower would be filled with a new chief...he knew it would be soon, and that whomever took over would have his and Zuato's full support, even to death if need be. After a few moments of staring blankly at the tower, he moved on to his teepee. As usual, Uglutz had left him a 'gift' in front of it. This time it appeared to be the mangled and charred remains of a dwarf and a gnome. Oddly they were still smoldering, so he couldn't be too far gone. He thought about trying to hunt him down and thank him appropriately for the mess, but discarded the idea. The orc would be back around and then he could thank him. After clearing the entrance, Huato entered his teepee, unstrapped his armor, and set his weapons aside. Looking at the back of the teepee set some of the weapons he had crafted ages ago. Some he hadn't touched since seeking the training of one of Thunder Bluff's Shaman trainers - his Hammer of the Titans. It had been too long since he had hefted the hammer in battle. Far too long. Huato walked to the back and lifted the hammer up and admired the craftsmanship. He was still amazed that he was able to mold and shape metal into something so brutal yet fascinating in appearance. He noticed that the leather he had wrapped around the handle had started to work its way loose, so he sat down and began restitiching it. As he sat restitching the leather it occurred to him that Zuato had come a long way with his studies as a Druid, and that he had become a far more adept healer than he could ever be. "Me thinks its time to allow Zuato to heal the Crushers an for me ta go back to da Shaman masters an relearn me skills wid dis hammer" Huato thought outloud. He longed to crush the Alliance and the enemies of the Horde with his creations. He had come far with his studies of the elements, something that he developed young in life and caused his parents to send him to train in the ways of the Shaman. "With me new mastery ob da elements, an wid me hammer, me kin crush all dat oppose us" he muttered silently. "It be time ta craft a new clomper too. Dis one hit hard, but me want one dat hit harder dat come from me own hooves. One dat will strike fear on site of the beast!" Huato knew that everything he and the Crushers could muster would be needed. They had been pushing towards killing the great fire elemental Ragnaros, and that was going to be a major battle to bring him down. Typically anyone that was an enemy of Huato's enemies was a friend, but this Nefarion...what he was doing to the dragonkin was appaling enough, but for him to openly support and prop up Rend Blackhand as the warchief was too much. Huato knew that he would need to be eliminated too, along with his sister Onyxia. Then there was the growing arrogance of the Alliance and their attacks on Thunder Bluff and the Under City. This filth needs to learn not to mess with the Horde! With that he left a note posted on his teepee as he packed his bags and slid his Hammer of the Titans onto his back. It read: Crushers! Me gone to hunt fer items me be needin' to make a new clomper so dat we may take down our foes. If latz be needin' me, send word through da spirits or through me brudder Zuato. Me be der ta help wid anything latz needs. Tell Uglutz dat he be a liddle panzie an dat me be bringin' back a gift fer him too! Huato

I'd love to come and join you guys and gals on a more than just every blue moon basis, but if I did they'd take my Staff of Dominance and beat me upside the head with it! Add to it my Druid will be 60 by the end of the week and I will have a LOT of time wrapped up on this side of the fence. Anyhow, once the expansion hits I think I am going to try out a Draenei to see how they are...and I need to move my Mage to your guild if you'll have him.

Same here (addicted that is). lol

Huato has the water

I'm limited to evening runs due to work and family. I really can't do anything major tonight since I'll be in MC Wed & Fri, and Onyxia on Thursday. I can't wait till we get Onyxia down pat. That will make it a quick fun jaunt then off to whatever. For what it is worth, Zuato is resto specced and has close to +200 in healing gear already, so he can be primary healer for 5 man groups.

Zuato is still in need of being attuned, and I believe at least one other is too...I don't know that I can commit tonight since I ran Zu through Scholo last night and lost points with the wife. Anyhow, this weekend sometime would probably work out pretty good. Zuato also needs the first three dragons for the Onyxia quest line. Knocking the Ony quest line out of the way will probably push me to 60. I'm almost 70% through 59 now.

It should be said that it is nice group leveling gear. I do much better grinding/farming/soloing with the EF stuff that I have and all the + % to crit with spells gear. Things get done a lot faster than I would be able to do so with just stats alone. Zuato is my healer and it takes a whole helluva lot longer to kill things with him than it does with Huato now that he is resto specced...He can survive quite a bit through healing himself but it takes forever to kill a mob most of the time.

Yep...I got to run Scholo last night and am now close to 70% through 59...I was healer for the group and think I did a decent job when I didn't get gang raped by skeletons. I do wish they would not allow innervate to work on warriors or rogues however...I accidentally innervated Smedlock instead of myself once last night because I had him targeted during a heal. Grabbed a new pair of pants while there and my rejuv. is doing 275/tick now. Not too bad at all for my gear really and only being 59. Speaking of pre MC/BWL healing gear, I think I'd like to get my grubby hooves on this helm from DM: http://www.thottbot.com/?i=Insightful%20Hood

Same here Depaa...Elemental/Enhance with 5 points in resto. The EF and Ten Storms sets have better item bonuses than this set does. It aggravates me that Pallys get 5% crit with spells on their set, and they are the defensive hybrid...we get...no + damage, no + crit tot spells. Just straight + healing and mana /5. I think the devlopers went on a bender and forgot which hybrid does what when they were deciding the stats on these two.

Hehe... I got the Staff of Dominance

God #### blizzard and their catering to resto! The Shaman set is nothing BUT healing, and they call it Earthshatter! The Paladins not only get healing but 5% chance to crit with spells on their friggin' plate. Edit: This can't be right...the entire epic set has no resists to it at all...that doesn't go with Blizzard's prior sets.

Lol I had the DKP, and I love the damage I do with it! I really enjoy playing Huato again now that I have that staff. The Druid staff is sweet...gonna have to try for that one with Zuato for sure. I hope this a quest for each class and not a 40 man again, although I would bet money that drops from the 40 man instances are required.

I still need to kill the four world dragons...well, Zuato does anyway.

Happy Birthday Graw!!

I haven't seen if it does the full healing in one shot (which is my guess) or if it finishes off a hot in progress. Either way I think it may be a great thing, especially for rejuv since it is relatively inexpensive mana wise and has the potetial to heal a lot, especially with + healing gear. I read somewhere that it is a fast cooldown, so that will be nice if so. The thing that bugs me is that Mana Tide totems for Shaman is still a 31 point resto talent. Not sure why they would change Innervate but not Mana Tide.

I know what you mean Houli...that would be nice for a Shaman too since we cast and heal.

Ok, Zuato is now attuned to Black Wing Lair but not Molten Core.

Hey all...Zu is 59...and 44 points in resto...and needs attuned. Anyone want to help him get attuned Monday or Tuesday? That's be one more that can decurse and heal...and heal well.
