What about the die-hard resto shaman though WoW Gold? The true healbot heroes who dual spec PvE resto and PvP resto? Fear not! Blizzard has released a Q&A promising to address all of your woes at least 3 months from now. So you're pretty much ****** for the rest of the season. Sorry bro, that's how life works sometimes. At least they've acknowledged that our class "has never really been a powerhouse in PvP, especially in arenas." Six seasons too late but that's cool.

I was sitting on my mount in Durotar, chillin out you know, doing my thing and this guy whispers me. "omg, ur gear is so good but you have no arena teams!?!" At first, I thought he was joking. I'm 4/5 deadly, furious weapon and offset pieces. Not terrible but not really what I'd call "amazing gear". WoW Gold is not an easy job.

Turns out, the guy can't break 700 rating. Alright. The reason why I'm bringing this conversation up is because of one sentence this guy said, "I didn't know it was possible for shaman to get high ratings." Of course it's possible. But how easy would this guy have it, if he'd roll a druid? Or a priest? I'm not too sure. Innate has been successful on both his shaman and his druid. This ideal "bring the player, not the class" sounds nice and the top players in the world seem to be proof of it. But what about the other 95.5% of players?

This guy who whispered me has the same frustrations as Wisdomcube, Lickerzz, Zestola and Thrrek. I think about what Daara said on my first entry about shamans needing to not only be amazing players but their partners needing to be amazing as well. Shaunconnery carried that one chick to 2400 or something. Would that be possible with any shaman comp? I don't think so about WoW Gold.

So what can we do? Speccing elemental and 10-gaming it in 5s until we're stonger in other brackets is one solution. Biting the bullet and playing in 2s and 3s is another. Overall, I think the shaman community has done pretty well at helping each other out to overcome the inherent limitations of our class. We can always get better at it. After all, there are still shaman players who don't know that you can kite stupid priests by dropping tremor totem over and over again.
