You mentioned you don't think being crit reliant healers is a good way to heal. What other talents/abilities/skills that a shammy has that will be affected by crit?

well before patch crit raiting was around 12 percent i was worse geared than i am now but it jumped up by an extra 5% after patch and im not sure that having to rely on criting is good because if u get unlucky and dont crit a few times in a row ur going to be losing alot of healing but as shammys heal alot any way without critting now with riptide+chain heal and healing wave + healing way, ofcoure critting is good but as you really only need to be criting 1ce every 15 seconds on the tank you dont need an amazing crit chance to do this to pro acestral fortitude. but im starting to like the idea of seeing alot more crits non the less

no pre bc this was along time ago before i quit

My question about crits was to test your knowledge on resto shamans, it was purely to see if you knew all the other talents affected by it.

i guessed ^^ dw i know that having a higher crit chance will help raid by increasing armor and activate ancestral awakning when i do crit which heals 30 percent of the crit heal on lowestparty member in range also i take in 1 orb of the water shield so i gain mana so there are a few plus side

U stopped before the release of TBC and just got back ? , wich means there is a gap of like 1 year and 11 months ?

ye i quit for my last 2 years in school

So now you come back , I wish I could stay away from WoW , freeking drugs it is .


Anyhow G/L with you aplication

jow I know i have left and all but..

Crit:
It's awesome, you don't need a lot but around 20% is cool (lower is fine aswell, but stay above 15%). The reason for this is that every time you crit you get so much in return:

> Healing is dubbeld on that target (with a chain heal its on three targets)
> Armor is improved by 25%
> you get 203 Mana back for it if you have water shield up

The reason you don't wanna have more than 25% is off the way watershield works. If you take damage it activate aswell and returns mana. if you have been critting all this time your water shield will be gone and also you don't wanna be spamming water shield the entire time. The second reason is; watershields that procs has a cooldown to re-activate.
So stacking to much crit will be unneccesary. Also priest can do a armor buff, and mana is gainable in more ways.

Then a new talent Tidel Wave, it buffs your crit rating which is awesome, use it on raid healing to provide you with mana and the raid with extra healing.
Don't use it to heal a single target thats in need off a lot off healing, use natures swiftness for that.

You mentioned ancestral awakakning but you won't see this a lot as you mostly heal with chain heals which will not affected this talent.

The rest off the talent are pretty much straight forward and present themselve.

Riptide will be nice to have. Use it on a tank to help out but remeber that a shamans roll is mostly to heal the raid and not the Tanks (some fights it might be but mostly its the raid).

Ps. you don't need any mana talents atm as off the big raid buffs now. <3 spriests

A shamans chain heal can crit on 1 or 2 or all 3 jumps, the 50% heal of the jump before is based on it's none critting heal.

Tidal waves increases haste and healing done on healing waves after a chain heal and has nothing to do with crit. Tidal force however gives you 60% crit depleting 20% each time you crit.

I disagree even though i do have huge stores of mana up to 14k when buffed up i still burn through it all on the longer boss fights on numeros ocasions even after using mana tide and potting im down to 200 mana with the boss still around 5 percent luckily i do regain mana pritty fast but it still is worry when ur so low and u know if u dont get that crit off to get some mana back when u heal ur usesless unless ur getting hit a bit and even then u have to heal urself, i think at 80 though this will change as everyone will have amazing store of mana shamans expecting to have up to 30k max buffed which is gana be a huge amout and personly i would like to see me burn through that xD

Trigk, don't worry, you do not have to adress any of Korgans opinions, he is no longer a member here. Just be patient this might take a couple of days but don't worry, WotLK is still 2 weeks away
