Maradon! had this to say about Reading Rainbow:
This is a true recounting of most of my time in wow these days:[3. Looking For Group]<Maradon> Need tank for shadow lab
<Some Rogue> I'll come
<Some Mage> invite
<Some DPS Shaman> I'll go but I get all murmur's loot
<Some Alliance> DOOL ME LOLOL UR SCRD----Mote Farming Interlude----
[4. Guild]<Guildie Healer> I want to go to shadow lab.
[4. Guild]<Guildie DPS> Me too!
[4. Guild]<Guildie Healadin> Yeah shadow lab I need rep
[4. Guild]<Maradon> Shadow lab! FUCK YEAH!
[4. Guild]<Maradon> Any tanks?----4 hours of mote farming later----
[4. Guild]<Maradon> Any tanks for shadow lab?

For my brother and I, replace tank with healer, or healer who will even make an attempt to heal while my brother tanks for the group as a paladin.
It's funny really. Shitty healers make it so much more difficult for my bro to tank than it does if someone just tries to keep him alive.

What the HELL is wrong with your server?I can't find another server in the entire game like it...
There's GOT to be some kind of all-bloodelf SA Goon or penny arcade guild there.
I thought that every post-BC launch server was like that.

I've been enjoying my shaman. Decent damage output and using totems properly can let you be pretty damn survivable in PvE.Right now I'm enhancement, but whenever we do an instance I'm the healer so I've got a set of caster gear for that. Windfury totem makes you the friend of any person who does a lot of melee.
Shamans are still pretty cool, but Enhancement is horrible for healing. Once you can start doing BC stuff, respec Elemental. You'll be able to do good damage through Lightning Bolt, while always having some okay gear on for healing.
As for server, Dark Iron is pretty well balanced (I think it's like 60to40 AtoH).
50% scale. Asha'man fucked around with this message on 06-01-2007 at 03:39 PM.

It seems they don't wanna move servers. Frankly I'm pretty fucking done with PvP servers anyways. Being stunned for the entire duration of a fight and then dying after getting in two swings is kinda shitty.

Sounds like you broke rule 3 of red servers 
Being totally unable to control my character for 80% of a fight is just getting retarded old.

While it is a tad melodramatic, I enjoyed it. Maybe because I'm drunk.

Dr. Gee stopped beating up furries long enough to write:
No, the most recent was a 44 Warlock in Loch Modan. He was basically just chilling trying to get noobs to attack him so I figured, "Hey why not?" Set up some totems, and started swinging. Earth Shocked his first and third fears, but other than that I was feared the entire fight. He didn't even hit me with a bolt, the dots did all the work.Being totally unable to control my character for 80% of a fight is just getting retarded old.
Uh.
Grounding totem and tremor totem will nullify or remove fear effects.

Led had this to say about Cuba:
Uh.Grounding totem and tremor totem will nullify or remove fear effects.
Grounding totem absorbs a magical effect once every 10 seconds, so usually it absorbs a DoT. Tremor totem only removes a fear effect every 5, and you have to be in range (which is harder to do than you'd think). Both are easily wanded.
Once a warlock gets Death Coil, you can forget about fighting them as a shaman. Before then though, they aren't too tough to kill as long as you can keep most of their fears locked down. As soon as they get DC though, it becomes way too easy to chain fear a shaman.
Even with all of that, I still hate fighting rogues more.

Edit: And actually, you're seeing the number one plight of shamans in PvP Geeorn. We have no ability that breaks a CC effect while being affected by it, and have no ability that allows us to shut down another character for a short period of time.

Naimah wrote this then went back to looking for porn:
You forgot the unspoken rule: If there is a warlock, run.
Some days I truly do wish I had a good pve/PvP spec that was useful in both. Ah, the days of pre-TBC. 
I feel more like a mage without the instant AE CC in BGs now more than anything else. :/

Thank you for revealing that you've never PVP'd with a warlock in any serious capacity. For starters, it doesn't matter WHAT totems you have deployed, it is NEVER worth wanding any of them.
To wand even one totem down you need to drop everything you're doing, wait out the cast time of your wand, wait out the travel time to make sure it's dead, then wait out the global cooldown spam that results from auto-wand. You're looking at five to eight seconds per totem, assuming they die in one hit. In that time, the warlock could have nuked twice. I can't think of a single totem in your repertoire that's more important than 4000 hp

LOL DEATH COIL! Death coil is the excuse used by people who have absolutely no talent or knowledge of their class in PVP. It's WoW's "I was lagged and it was a bad map and you're shotgun whoring."
But go ahead and keep telling folks that a three second disorient is what's keeping you from being awesome at PVP. I'm sure they'll believe you when they face kidney punches and tauren warstomps and scattershots all the time and still manage to kill their respective wielders.
My warstomp, is better than yours.
