after getting a ranger and a bard (and the rest) to a nice fun lvl i thought, stuff it, do what you always wanted to do and get back to the trolls and short hairy women.

so heres the question we all want to know the answer to,

whats the cookie cutter specs for healers / shammys - not looking to be a buffbot!

also xp makes me cry, does xp make anyone else cry?

I don't play either of those classes but I guess for m/p healers it's 40mend/36 pac, for shamans 44aug/31 cave is the fotm.

My shaman is specced 39 cave 37 aug 4 mend.

I love the cave part, i got capped bases and a few points from capped speccs, i do not however have ae buffshears, and the heals suck.

I love the specc tho, loads of fun, if you choose this one tho you should be prepared to deal with fucktards not suggesting, but demanding you to respec ala "frost, respec 44 aug"

thing is, its a waste to spec high cave nowadays but red cold/heat resist buffs and buffshearing arent. also if you spec 37 aug, you do not have end5, and dont expect people to spec LW1 these days hence they will whine about it when they cannot perma sprint in group. but hey, im not telling you how to play your char, just some obvious tips.

Ive been 43 aug, didnt enjoy it, so i respecced to 39 cave 37 aug. Simply cause it suits my playstyle, and my point is that it's my char. I know very well the benefits of speccing higher aug, and what you also lose out in cave when you do. I've soloed from 3L8 to 4L6 soon, so obviously there is no problem whatsoever with the specc, i know how to play my toon.

Wouldn't you be annoyed if you play a char you really like, and constantly when you group, somebody tells you, (yes, almost orders you) to respecc cause it doesn't fit them? Now I mostly solo with my shaman, and when i run in groups i run in small groups, simply cause i cba with ppl telling me how to specc and play my char.

I don't expect anyone to specc in a certain way, would be nice for a change if ppl could do the same every once in a while.

didnt mean to make a big rant so /rant off :)

Mirari, then respec to 41cave for better dmg output and get buffbot for decent spec buffs which makes more sense for solo/small group.
But group shaman spec has to include at least 42 pts in aug for end5 and red acuity buff (often u need to rebuff it on battlefield) and at least 27 pts in cave for insta pbae disease. The rest points could be splitted between different lines and it depends on your group and enemies u usually face.

Christ, what part of my post was unclear?

I like my shaman the way it is. Quite simple really, don't fancy getting a bb, don't fancy respeccing.

The mates I play with has no problem whatsoever with this, so I'm gonna keep it the way it is.

Ive played as a group shaman, i know what it involves, and i know what kind of specc is required/prefered. And if i somehow would forget theres always people there to remind me, like this post ;)

the original post was about cookiecutter spec for sham/healer though, not about gimped specs that a unexperienced ppl that wants to be original uses.

Agree, cookiecutter specc is the subject, and he has gotten several suggestions now.

However, who are you to decide what speccs are gimped and not, which people are unexperienced and not, and also which people counts as "wannabe original"?

at rr5+ i'd say 46 aug/27 cave because of the capped s/c and resis etc. pre rr5 i'd go 44/31 tho.

(and zerathul, why shouldn't he spec 37 cave if he likes it? im sorry to break this to you, some people like different stuff ;o)

I thought cookie cutter referred to 50/20 specs.

Guess I was wrong.
