One thing before

Ghli — Wed, 09/29/2010 - 08:36

One thing before getting possibly ginvited into guild.

Please, get grid. I know you use pitbull to heal, but it's not as efficient or compact as grid. Every healer that has lasted most of this expansion is still using grid since the beginning of Wrath. This will cut down on the "who is in group 1 or 4" confusion.

Why is this guy still an app?

acetylcoa — Tue, 09/28/2010 - 15:27

Ran naxx with quincie, was quite gracious to heal for us and did a very good job.  No ideas on how his dps is, but his attitude was top notch.  As many posts as are on here, (i didnt read them all) i would think he would have already been invited.


Has my vote

We don't know if he's going

Ghli — Tue, 09/28/2010 - 17:40

We don't know if he's going to hit the 3 week "wall" every app has ran into yet. The wall that they get into guild, and not show up to raid a week later.

Gemming is completely wrong.

Onrique — Tue, 09/14/2010 - 22:25

Gemming is completely wrong. You say it's about preferance? Based on what? Preferring to do less damage?


Haste>AP since the TOC patch.


Keeping that in mind, your totem is also wrong.


Glyph of LS is also incorrect. Feral Spirit has been the 2nd best glyph since ulduar.


Hit rating is also quite a bit low (yes i know it's techinically spell hit capped, but crit cap is going to be brutal).

I see that a couple posts

Resta — Thu, 09/16/2010 - 07:03

I see that a couple posts were removed.  I'm quite sorry for any trouble I may be causing >_O  I never intended for that.  From the beginning I never had the intent to prove you wrong Onrique.  I understand you are a great player, and your gemming choice IS correct.  I never had the intent to say you were gemming wrong and I was right.  Just wanted to show you I'm not an incompetent shaman.  I actually have a parse comparison to show you.  I compared our fights with H Saurfang.  Your raid on Tuesday the 7th, and my raid on Tusday the 14th.


http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb415/mugen129/Saurfang.jpg


The key thing to notice is the % of our personal dps of each ability, you'll see that on some abilities, such as melee hits and flametongue hits, you do indeed get more of them off.  However if you look closer you'll see that my melee and flametongues hit harder than yours, so they even out in the end. 


This isn't concrete proof I understand.  Black Bruise lowers your %'s a bit, but not much.  I really wish I had equal gear to you to TRULY compare.  But I believe the results would end up being the same.  This is why I believe that Ap and Haste are indeed equal, and it solely relies on what the shaman wants more.  Again Onrique, I can't stress this enough.  I am NOT saying you are wrong at all, I respect and agree with what you said in your other posts.  I just want to show you that I to am correct in the way I play.  Please do not take it wrong.  On my other server I was the only enhance shaman that was any good.  I had nobody to compare with, nobody to challenge me.  I would love to have another GOOD enhance shaman to talk the mechanics with and what not.  If you have any other questions man I will gladly answer them. 


Thanks for reading.

You caused no trouble. What

Onrique — Thu, 09/16/2010 - 07:45

You caused no trouble. What caused trouble were a hot-headed guy after a rough day and a loyal friend who needed to let me know that I had crossed a line.


I apologize for the trouble that I caused YOU. Like you, most of the enhance shaman I have run into have been awful, so I was a bit skeptical of a gearing setup that I havent seen (and dont take this the wrong way) since Ulduar.


We can get in depth about theorycrafting at a later time as I am already running late for work.

In response Onrique

Resta — Wed, 09/15/2010 - 09:17

I based my gemming off a post from Levva on Elitist jerks.  He stated: "After that AP or Haste tends to be best with Crit/AGI/ArP somewhat lesser stats. What you go with will very much depend on your overall gear balance. For best results use the Simulator EnhSim available from here."  also, "Always try to use either a 40 AP gem or a 20 haste gem depending on if you are going for AP or haste. You could also use a 20 AP/10 Haste gem if you are balancing your gear." 


C) Gemming: Haste Vs. Attack Power: They are both the right answer, depending on your current gear. I cannot stress this enough: Gemming Attack Power blindly is a bad idea. Gemming Haste blindly is a bad idea. Gemming Haste blindly is a WORSE idea, because it’s very much the shaman version of Armor Penetration- a vogue stat that every bad kid in Dalaran has decided to do because he inspected some kingslayer shaman somewhere. Haste scales incredibly well with our 4PC t10. It does not scale well with our 4PC t9. If you are wearing full t10, it is most likely the stat you want to gem, but again that is not definite. You will achieve your maximum dps by downloading the Enhancement DPS Simulator and finding an accurate haste EP value for your gear, not by making gearing decisions based on popularity.  from the WoW shaman forums.  http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=16473975656&sid=1


I do not  yet have 4 pc bonus.  So I still think AP would be a better choice for me.


The lightning shield glyph was a test for me and apprently I never changed it, I was using feral spirit before but I thought what's the point of using a glyph that only is activated every 2 mins 20 sec.  So I chose to test with LS glyph, whiche would give, I thought, a small constant dps boost.  Looking at my parses it did up my damage a little bit, since it's constant, rather than only when wolves are out.  However, I am going to go back to feral spirit.


Hit rating has been my concern recently, replacing the ToC gear I had with ICC gear has resulted in a serious loss of hit, and it's beginning to worry me.  The next piece I replace w/o hit and I'm going to be under cap.  So I'm definetely watching that.  I'm barely spell hit capped, I don't like it being that close. 


Thanks for constructive comments Onrique, going to be working on fixing some of the issues you presented.

According to Rawr, each gem

dreziak — Tue, 09/14/2010 - 14:16

According to Rawr, each gem is about a 4 dps difference, from AP to Haste.  Not a huge difference.

Katzeus — Sat, 09/11/2010 - 02:23

This guy is an old friend.  I started raiding with him back in Gruul's lair (windfury group ftw).  I don't know much about enhancement sham, but Quincie's always been the standard I measure other shaman's dps against in the years I've raided with him.  And that 60 hours of play time a week isn't an exaggeration, I'm real id friends with him, he's online most of every day.

He took a break for the end of Ulduar/ToC and when he came back Meow and I had transfered over and joined you guys.  He rolled a DK a month or two ago here on Gorgon to check things out and became probably the most enthusiastic supporter of the server of anyone (his DK is Resta, hence his account name).  I actually regularly troll him about his descriptions of Gorgon to our other friends (ie There are double rainbows in every city on Gorgonnash, Epics fall from the sky like purple rain etc, etc.)  Joking aside, the server where we all originally rolled is terrible by comparison.

He just happened to transfer his shaman, which has always been his main, a couple days ago.  I told him tonight that we'd just had an enhance shammy step down and he jumped right over to apply.

You guys can open a discussion about his class/rotation/whatever, like I said, I'm not a shaman so I can't really say much about technical stuff.  I'll vouch up and down for his skill and chill/no drama attitude, he's the kind of player that raiding guilds want.

Ahhh...Quincie

Meowia — Sat, 09/11/2010 - 02:00

I have been playing with Quincie a very long time. We have raided together for prolly 3 years...2.5 maybe... but a heck of a long time. We have been in two guilds together and a million and one runs together. Quincie is quality.

I first knew Quincie as a Resto Shaman... one of the best I have ever played with. Over time (like a few years) Resto lost its luster and Quincie went enhance and QUICKLY became amazing at it. Quincie is one of those awesome players that just excels at whatever he tries. I have no problem, 100% vouching for his awesomeness because I have seen it and experienced it for years.

/praise

Welcome to Gorg (and I know you love it already Q)

I can't wait to raid with you again!
