A Shammy Talent Guide - By Aryxymaraki
by Kumaren | 25/08/2006 13:11:47 Note: I love Aryxy. Hes a very cool Shaman. On with the posting. :) Contents I. Introduction II. Elemental Talents III. Enhancement Talents IV. Restoration Talents V. Talent Builds VI. Version History I. Introduction ADDED 4/18/05 It appears that this thread has broken, and won't display posts later than post number 425. I have no idea on how to fix this problem; I sure don't want to delete it and wait for a new sticky. I'll probably email Blizzard and ask them to delete some of the pages of replies. As Doomhaven suggested; well, I'm overconfident, and I think I know what I'm talking about most of the time :D Therefore, I have decided to try to make a comprehensive guide to the shaman talents. Whenever a talent is referred to, it is spoken of as though it were maxed out. For a talent-spell (like Mana Tide Totem), it is assumed to be at the max rank. Copious parts of this introduction are thefted verbatim from the mage talent guide, available here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-mage&t=23& ;p=1&tmp=1#post23 If you're looking for an FAQ on the class in general, I refer you to Doomhaven's thread here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?ForumName=wow-shaman& ;ThreadID=36816 If you decide that instead of answering someone's question directly, you just want to give them a link to this thread (I've never done that...I swear... :D), the URL is: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?ForumName=wow-shaman& ;ThreadID=36840 Talents in General Once you reach level 10, you receive a talent point each level until level 60, amounting to a total of 51 talent points. These talents provide you with a way to customize your character to suit your playstyle and preferences. You can choose your talents by pressing the 'N' key and allocating your points by clicking. Note the three tabs at the bottom of the window: Elemental, Enhancement and Restoration. These are referenced as 'talent trees' and are set up in tiers. You'll have to spend points in the shallow tiers before you can access the talents in the deeper tiers. Certain talents also require specific prerequisites before you can train in them. You can explore talents and talent builds with World of Warcraft's handy talent calculator, available here: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/shamans/talents.html Res etting Talents You can reset talents by speaking to any Shaman class trainer. The first time you reset your talents, it costs 1 gold. The next time it will be 5 gold, then 10 gold, then every time there after 5 more gold, e.g. 15, 20, 25, etc., all the way up to 50 gold, where it is capped. You pay to reset all of your talents at once, there is no way to undo one or two talents. For each month since you last reset your talents, the fee will be set back one category. There is no right way or wrong way to spec, and above all your spec should be tailored to the way you play. Enhance the aspects of the Shaman that you most enjoy and take everything said in this guide with a grain of salt. To put it another way: Q u o t e: No one can tell you what a Shaman is. You have to see it for yourself. hay gusy, wat is goin on in tihs thraed? |
