Mage and Shaman Forums: Start spreading the news
Posted in Forums, Mage Resources, Misc WoW, Shaman, tagged Forums, Mages, Misc WoW, Shaman on July 26, 2010| 1 Comment »
This is a challenge to all bloggers, podcasters and readers and listeners of blogs and podcasts.
There have been two exciting developments over the weekend.
Not one, but TWO new community forums have opened, both dear to my heart.
Demoralizing Shout
Posted in Misc WoW, Shaman, tagged Misc WoW, Shaman on June 16, 2010| 20 Comments »
Apparently Warriors have a skill called Demoralizing Shout.
I’m not quite sure, because apart from playing a Warrior for maybe one level before realizing I didn’t like it, I’ve never looked very hard at the toolbar.
I don’t ever recall being demoralized by it, but it’s somewhere on their toolbar and I know they use it, I see it in raids just before they charge at a boss.
Mind you, I have never noticed bosses being particularly demoralized either, they just seem to get angry and hit everyone they can reach.
Over the weekend I got to experience what it is like to give a really demoralizing shout.
It quickly occurred to me that I have been on the receiving end of this “demoralizing shout” multiple times in Arenas.
I know how it feels, I practically walk away from the PC when I hear the roar. I have to retrieve my keyboard from the hole in the wall when I hear my mates of vent cry in anguish.. (more…)
You only love me for my Heroism

- I always thought Squidly was loved for his tentacles.
- I hoped he was loved for his heals
- I was accepting of being accepted for his DPS.
- But I’m only loved for my Heroism?
I guess that’s one advantage of playing Gnomeaggedon, there is no real doubt about why he is accepted in a raid.
Sure it might be an Intellect buff (how the raid cried the other day when there was no Mage for Intellect), could be for his table (presented with a smile and a /bow), maybe even because the raid leader has a Gnome fetish.
However I can be reasonably sure that I am loved for my potential DPS (maybe for Spellsteal – but that’s a gift to a Mage and if there is no Mage, you can always purge). This isn’t TBC where Mages have fallen out of favor, replaced by Warlocks, loved only for consumables and buffs, no this is WoLK.
What is it you want from me?
But Squidly, I think Squidly’s heals or DPS are an afterthought (more…)
All I want for Christmas is a Gnome Shaman
Posted in Gnomes, Misc WoW, Shaman, tagged Gnomes, Misc WoW, Shaman on January 13, 2010| 17 Comments »
- I was upset when I went to roll a Shaman, that Gnomes weren’t an option.
- I was upset when Cataclysm was announced that there weren’t any Gnome Shaman (Gnome Priests… Pfffttt!)
It may come as a surprise to you that I like Gnomes.
No?
Well it surprised me. I only rolled one because the Human Mage looked like a dress wearing Chuck Norris.
Then came Christmas… and under the tree (outside Ironforge), was a little present just for ME!
Some people transformed themselves to go for the PvP achievement, I transformed For Gnomeregan! (more…)
Resto Shaman, Where For Art Thou?
Posted in Blogs, Misc WoW, Shaman, tagged Blogs, Shaman on November 20, 2009| 12 Comments »
The question was asked on Twisted Nether Blogcast the other day
Where are the Resto Shaman Blogs?
Ok, that wasn’t the question, but for once I was “there” so I am just quoting based on my short term memory.
My immediate response was to reel of a series of blogs that deal to some extent or another with Resto Shaman.
You can find them on my ReadByGnome page as well as listed out below, but still it raised an interesting thought.
- Priest blogs… Dime a dozen
- Tree Blogs… Just waiting for the forest fire to thin them out…
- Pally Blogs… Boring… Well how much can you write about one, maybe two healing spells.
- Resto Shamanism seems to be one of those areas that suffer as much burnout as altaholics grinding Argent Crusade rep (more…)
Squidly’s Shaman PvP Tips #3: Stoneclaw Totem
Posted in PvP, Shaman, tagged PvP, Shaman on October 16, 2009| 8 Comments »
This post is about all the mindless Horde.
No, not the 95% of the furiously keyboard turning opposition, the other 5%…
Their pets.
STFU!
Hunters and Warlocks, even Mages, love healers. We are easy targets
While their over armored buddies are taking one in the face for their side, they like to try and even the odds.
/tar healer
/send pet
If they are close enough and not yet under pressure from your side, they will also take a few pot shots. Nothing serious you understand, a few dots here, a few dots there (more…)
