[[Jett]-OMEGA]

Sorry bro, I couldn't help but think of you when I saw this keyboard picture.

Lol, Sadaauk posted that in the other forum already. But think, if they just gave mages what they wanted, they would all shut up.

Since when can mages use the function and escape keys?



also thats the preBC keyboard, theres no button for "table"

[Xaxas]

We macro'd the table with a /cry to the conjure water while in a party. Though its getting bad for the mages in beta. We can't complain about how underwhelming or lackluster our talents are due to them not even working.

About half of the talents in every tree have failed to work and AoE damage no longer seems to hit targets, even if the mage (or warlock, same problem for them) is standing on top of the target.

Kind of funny seeing the list of "Blizzard, these aren't working" longer than the QQ posts.

The good news for me, lolsmite will still be dumb, so shadow still. For my fail rogue though...looks like combat may not be the way to go.

LOL the shaman forum has ALWAYS been pure QQ. I think we made Drysc leave or something outrageous. His later posts were all like angry and pissy. It was kinda scary.

I dont think shaman have keyboards, I think they just have 'Q' bound to their mouse wheel so they can watch tv.

Well, I threw in a full suggestion for mage talent changes.

http://www.war-tools.com/t56837.html if anyone is interesting in looking. I'll never go frost and fear being stuck as arcane, so I only made the fire suggestion. If blizz takes just half of it, mages will be just that much closer to being fixed.

Fire-form seems cool, if not just for the effect, but the transformation.

hot streak...hmm....not sure about that, but it still seems balanced well.

I should go make one for elemental.

...brb

[Xaxas]

The current hotstreak requires upwards of over 40% chance to crit before you see any real increase in crit chance. I figured a way to increase the crit more actively with less chance would help since raid DPS isn't about burst but consistency. It would also be a very nice addition to Combustion in a PvP situation for some insane burst DPS.

Fireform is one of the 2-3 ideas that fire mages have always dreamed of for our 51 pt talent. A summonable phoenix pet similar to the Water Elemental is another idea. It would act like Keal'thas' in that an egg would spawn after it was killed or the duration ended and allow it to come back a second time assuming the egg survived.

Obviously, I like fireform more. Mostly due to my hate of cooldown reliant dps. Sometimes entire cooldowns are wasted to lame timing with various boss abilities and that always bugged me.

wtb elemental forms for shamans

Fire elemental - attacks deal fire damage and cause dots (because i want to damage hydross in SOME way)
water elemental - attacks heal party members for x% of damage you deal (attacks also deal frost damage, and the heal could be changed to mana or something [suck it shadow priests basically])
Earth Elemental - Attacks have x% to stun/snare or something of that effect, also increase armor,etc. (pvp form)
Air Elemental - Attacks do 1/4 damage but cost no mana (i really dunno what to put here, suggestion?)

Also: I've had times when i have crit lightning 4x in a row easily (only about 31% crit with totem and talents)
psst...give me hot streak

[Xaxas]

Well, its not to say it's impossible to get 3 crits in a row, as one mage with about 30% crit went and pulled off a 12 streak. But they ran some numbers, (which is easy for that talent) and with about 30% chance to crit, you get about 1.5% additional crit assuming you didn't replace what would have been a crit already. Once you get to numbers around 40-50% crit, this becomes a massive buff.

But thinking realistically, 40% chance to crit is only possible in ideal conditions for mages, which won't be happening until mages can pump some real damage out.

Oddly enough, a certain warlock thinks the Phoenix pet is actually better suited to mages than them using enough power to eventually consume their selves in fire.

But anyways besides the math it seems like a really fun talent.

now go make a war-tools for my tree, im lazy.
