I leveled with Water Shield (leveled in 3.0), and even did HCs with it to help with mana. Whilst soloing, mana just was not an issue thanks to that shield and Shamanistic Rage.<br /><br />With ISS, you COULD use Lightning Shield whilst leveling instead... the difference would be nothing to write home about, though. Just something I now want to look into for post on leveling Enhance :PFaulseyhttp://faulsey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388446314351440865.post-9263871081640298952009-04-21T20:22:00.000-04:002009-04-21T20:22:00.000-04:00Faulsey's on a crusade here, eh?
I'm not saying I...Faulsey's on a crusade here, eh?<br /><br />I'm not saying I'm NOT taking it. Just, at this point, I'd rather get to Elemental Fury as quickly as possible.<br /><br />My build is currently geared toward soloing, and mana is not an issue. True, Convection isn't great, but I need those points in Elemental SOMEWHERE, and Call of Flame does nothing for me right now.<br /><br />Settle down, I'll comment more extensively in a post later this week.Samodeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14683080835462952182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388446314351440865.post-63922754394151500152009-04-21T19:46:00.000-04:002009-04-21T19:46:00.000-04:00Whaaaaaaaaaaat!
ISS is PvE and then some - Enhanc...Whaaaaaaaaaaat!<br /><br />ISS is PvE and then some - Enhance can deal a lot of damage very quickly, so mana should never be an issue in PvP. In PvE however, pre 3.1, it was difficult to keep up a max-DPS rotation (one including magma totem) without going OOM very quickly.<br /><br />ISS is quite simply the best PvE enhancement boost this patch. Take it. Seriously - 20% of your base mana every 8 seconds vs 4% Mana decrease to Shocks and Lightning Bolts (your current 2 points in convection) - there's no competition, ISS wins the mana race.<br /><br />http://bighitbox.com/index.php/2009/04/enhancement-shaman-31-guide/<br /><br />http://www.faulsey.com/?p=1160<br /><br />Given I haven't raided yet as Shaman, me and Stoney don't agree on Shamanstic Focus - I'd be inclined to defer to his far greated experience, but I'll need to test it myself to be sure. However, we both agree - take ISS.Faulseyhttp://faulsey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388446314351440865.post-42185712847641680702009-04-20T18:12:00.000-04:002009-04-20T18:12:00.000-04:00I'm enjoying Affliction too.
