How to Win BG's?

It's very simple ! But if you are new you might dont have idea how to do that :> That's guide just for you!

Firstly : How to quee!

You can do it by entering your PvP Menu and that choose a Battleground label, and you can choose from 6 different BG's. 

(remember to always click "first avaible" i have for true no idea why someone would not choose that one :P

Soo you got quee for it, you got Invitanion, you enter BG's and now what??
Now it's time to rox :>

Warsong Gulch:

That's basicly a Flag Deathmactch.. or something like that.. If you have ever played Quake you know what I'm talking about.. 

Your "mission" in that BG is to get Enemy Flag which is located in the centre of enemy base, and take it to your base WHILE your flag is still in your base :>

If one team do that 3 times he is TEH WINNER :>

Recently blizzard ad a timer... In my opinion that was really bad move.. after 20 minutes team with highest score Win, that was just another change to make that game simply..

(Anyway protect your flag, pick up flag from your enemy take it back to your base) x 3  = win :>

 

Arathi Basin

That BG is about controlling bases.

Everyeach controlled base give you some Resourses every few seconds if you will gather 1600 of them you will win :>

There are 5 bases.

Farm, Lumbermill, Gold mine, Blacksmith, and Stable

"taking" a base is realy easy, next to every each of them is a flag, if you will click on it you will start "taking" after 10 sec if noone will interupt you that base will be "in progress" and it will belong to noone , after 1 minute it will become your and start producing needed resources 

So.. More bases= more resources= faster win :>

If someone will  re-cap your base it must take also 1 minute untill that base will start giving him resources, BUT it will immidiatly stop increasing yours, but if you will manage to take it back it will immidiatly start giving you :>

It's easier that you can imagine really ;>

Just clear arena around flag, and then start capping it :)

And dont forget about protecting your bases :>  In the middle-up of your screen will be ressult, keep an eye on it :) Cause if you are loosing it mean that you need to cap another base :>

 That would be all for now :>  Gonna write more in no time so stay tuned: >

 

As promissed new guides coming :>

 

Alterac Valey 

40vs40 player battle or maybe not battle but real WAR

Both teams start with  600 reinforcements, every time you Succefull capture enemys Tower that team is Loosing 100 reinforments. also if you will Kill they Sub- generals, There is 4 tower + sub-general so even destroying them all aint giving our victory, so there a deal, For each death your team is loosing 1 reinforment point. So if you will kill 100 enemyes while getting down all 4 tower and  sub-general you will win.

You can of course Kill 600 enemies and win this way :> Your target is to get Reinf. to 0 :)

But for true those tacitcs are not THAT popular as they should be, usually teams are just Killing General (not SUB- general) If one team losee his general is insant loose .

The trick is that General has really big amount of life + for Every each Tower he has one Marshal - so at start there is General + 4 marshal

They hit Hard as hell, and every marshal Increase General Life by 25%, it's really HARD to kill him with them all up. that's why it's highly recomemend to take down towers first :) I have seen even end game Geared tanks getting one shot by General + 4 Marshalls;>

If you really want to rush and take him down, you will need few tanks and even more then few healers;>

In AV there is also a great amount of Graveyards, the idea is to get a GY which is at enemy base so every time you die you will be ressed next to it without having to run throu whole Map to keep fighitng; > SO everytime you can just Capture it.

There are also 2 mines in AV, If you will kill their Boss which is the very centre of it your team will start getting some extra reinforments, it's not MUCH but it's still usefull :>

 Eye of Storm

 

That's Battleground which I'm constantly loosing :> That's why I'm not going on it :)

It's a Mix of WSG and AB, You have 4 bases, and flag.

Eveyr each you capture the flag your team is getting points.

Every capture base gives you some points.

BUT

you can win ONLY by getting 3 or 4 towers, capping a flag is TOTALLY useless, it gives barely any points, it's not fast enought , so teams which will focus on Capping flag and keeping e.g 1 tower will losse versus team with 3 towers.

The whole Idea is to RUSH on start

it's 15vs15 battle, so You should have 1 guy each on starting bases just to capture them 1 guy AND ONLY one guy who would go for flag and 12 guys (6 on each tower) storming enemies bases.

If you will cap fast enought all Bases you will win for sure.

What you are NOT supposed to do is FIGHT for towers if you know that you will losee eventually, it's better to just start running away and capture some other tower :> Beacuse fighting BLOCKS you, if your enemy will get 3 towers and then they will keep pushing you at your Last Stand you need to let them take it BUT in same time you should be already getting their towers instead.. (if there is 15 ppl storming one of your bases that mean that theirs are unguarded...)

As I said I'm usually loosing it... ppl just dont know how to Defence on it... that's the biggest problem;/

Strand of the Ancients is.. hmm have you ever seen Saving Private Ryan ? or any film about D-Day in Normand ?:)

There is 2 teams as always, first one is Invading, second is Defending,

If you are Defending you need to Keep your Relic safe for 10 minutes, your enemy will need to destroy at lest 4 gates to reach it, at the every each gate there is a cannon which is supposed to be with Gunner on ii so he will do massive Dmg to Demolishers which will be trying to destroy your gates.

So after you will be defender the roles will turn, and you will have to attack! If you manage to defend your bases for 10 minuets, you will have whole 10 minutes to get to enemyes relic while attacking BUT if you somehow manage to fail on defend, then you will need to get to Enemy Relic faster then they reach yours :>

There is always timer in the middle-up of the screen so you will always know how much time there is left to the end of rund.

If you will start as an attacker then you will need to cap their base asap, and after that to keep your Relic Save for longer then you were attacking :>

 

Isle of Conuqest... it's a Mix off (more or less) of all other BG's.. it has Reinf and General as AV - if you get reinf to 0 you will win, if you kill general you will also, it has Base to cap- if you will do it you will win, there is a lot of Bases, after getting some on them you are getting soem new buffs or ability to use Gun ship or Sieges engines.

For true I'm havent played more then 10-15 Isles, because.. NOONE is playing them ;/ Apparently noone like it ;/

 

 

 

Is getting annoyed... I mean it... It just after 5 years of playing one class I fell just betrayed... Blizzard continue dont give a shit  about Shammy in PvP... they just dont care...All classes are getting some Boost but not Enh Shaman.. I'm just sick of people which are telling me to go resto/ele... why the hell I'm supposed to do that ?

I got 2200 in 2v2 bracket and 2000 in 3v3 in Current season.. it was like.. trip to hell.. constantly getting owned by Warrior & Druid teams basicly warrior could just spam harmstring on us and auto attack while Druid throw 3x Lifebloom and that was it.. we couldnt do anything.. Anyway we manage that.. but thinking now about it it would be so easier as Resto or Ele..When i checked top 2vs2 teams. which include rogue+ shammy, there was like 2 teams like us on higher rankings..and like Bilion of Rouge+ Resto, Rogue+ ele shamans...

What's so hard in making all specs Viable in PvP i have no idea... I just would like to talk with Dev's sometimes and ask them why they hate my claass so much heh but anyway.. we need to play with what we have :) 

YES! we exist!

And for true we can do very proper dps! If you dont know how to output gogo read that post ;>

Enh best raiding spec is http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?shaman#d6dQ5QLfXQUBv,,10835

We DO NOT have Rotation- MOST important thing.

We have PRIORITY.

Shaman have 3 spells for dps which have CD

Stormstrike=SS, Earth Shock=ES, Lava Lash = LL

Basicly Priority is

If you have 5 stacks of MW cast Lighting Bolt

Then it goes SS, ES, LL

Remeber! MW has HIGHEST priority, So if you will cast SS, ES, and get 5 stacks of MW, you cast Lightbolt then Lava Lash, 

There is GREAT AMAZING addon called shockandawe

With it dpsing as Enh Shamman is just no brainer :>  

Remeber one thing even if you are fighting against 1 mob (like mob or something) Magma Totem is superior :>

 

Ele Shaman..has THE EASIEST rotation :> in game ??:P
Basicly all you need to do is to keep an eye on 1 (literaly) 1 dot [flame shock]

and 1 CD Lava Burst .

So rotation is (depends of how much haste you have) Flame SHock -> Lava Burst -> Spam Lighting Bolt-> Lava Burst-> spam Lighting bolt etc etc, oh and ye refresh Flame Shock :>

That's preety much all :>
I Hope i dont have to mention  that all Cd's pop right at start; > Wolfs/Trinkets/Elemental Mastery etc etc or w8 with them till Bloodlust

TIP  : pop Wolfs BEFORE BL, even if someone already popped BL, use wolfs AND use YOUR own BL

How to be Raid Leader?
Very easy!
A lot of people are afraid of being a RL.. personally I have no idea why.
For true it’s the easiest thing to do in that game. Gives a lot of profit, and basicly noone can blame you for that cause then they  will get kicked. /grin

So let’s take e.g. VoA 25 raid, it’s really easy raid probably easiest in game for now :)
What do we need to do it.
-2 tanks
-5 healers
-18 dps
Of course getting dps will be extremely easy, problems start when it comes to getting tanks/healers.
Sometimes just spamming Lfg channel is not enough.
Go to Dalaran e.g. and spam Trade Channel or just Yell :) It works! Really.
What’s more if you have some Shaman/Priest/Druid/Pala dpsing ask them do they have Healing off spec.
A lot of people have it nowadays, don’t be afraid to ask! They will probably tell you something like that
“Ok I will heal but I want to roll on dps gear” of course you must allow that :)
What’s more be sure that you wont take more then 3-4 people of same Class. It’s just bad ;) A lot of ppl are coming there for loot.  Hmm for true everyone is going there for loot and for loot only :>
Be extra carefull in choosing ppl, avoid fresh  lvl’ed in greens, You may also want to ask for Achiev. But  don’t rely on it, a lot off ppl are getting Boosted in Raids Dungeons, by guilds etc etc or just they somehow manage to sneak into some raid, and they have no clue what to do, on the other hand there are a lot of ppl without achiev which have never ever die in fire :)
Try to make Raid Composition as perfect as possible, It mean bring as much class which provide buffs as possible.
Check out that page. http://raidcomp.mmo-champion.com/
It will show you how many buffs you have already and how many you are still missing.

What’s more be sure that you wont bring e.g 5 holy paladins for raid. Or  18 melle dps.
There is high possibility that such a raid composition will fail :P
Make sure that everyone know tactics, Make sure also that Tanks know what they are tanking, and healers know what are they healing :> it’s REALLY  important.
It also might be a bit helpful if you will spam on /rw DO NOT OVERAGGRO TANKS AT START
60% wipes on Pugs is cause ppl are overaggroing.. that’s really bad :>

I hope that straight after you read will log WoW and make your first raid; >

If you are new players, or just reroll Shaman, you obviously may make some mistakes, that's normal. And if you want to get rid of those mistakes, and people which are laughing at you cause you are "failing" that's a guide for you.

There is one extremly important thing that you need to know about shaman, what everyone should now, SHAMAN is SUPPORT class, even with all changes in Woltk, we are still only support.

Most off people still forget about that, and demand from shamans to do as good DPS as Class which have been made for dps, Rogues, Mages, Locks, Hunters, Difference is not that big, but it still exist. If you compare 2 good players, in equal gear, e.g Rogue and Enh Shaman, on static fight, rogue is supposed to outdps shaman. That just happen nothing to do with that.

Even shaman with better gear then that rogue may not win Dps battle. It just happen.

True shaman power, lays in totems, shamans are BEST buffing class in the game, e.g Ele shaman contain more then 70% of needed raid buffs if he pop proper totems, It's only 1 (one ) class, and you still have 24 slots for raid.

Next thing about shamans is that they are EXTREMLY scalling with gear, shaman must be really awsome geared to show his Dps, any average geared class will tottaly outdps not properly geared shaman.

 

 

I've been playing WoW since Korean Beta Test were started. What's more I was always playing a Shaman, of course i had some several alts, but still Shammy is going to be love of my live.

In the vey begining when the Mulgore grass was greener that now is, when peopple were having fights with monsters which come from hell itself, when great warriors was facing Killing Ragnaros, Nefarian killing and smashing them.. Shaman were unfortunatly only.. healing..

That was preety bad times for us, we could only heal and heal on raids, everyone demand from us to go resto. I really dislike it, So i decide to fight with it! I just couldnt play like that anymore.

What's more intersting Shamans were king of Battlegrounds, while wearing some awsome Two-Handed weapons. we could literally one shot someone if we got lucky windfury proc, those were amazing times, Peopl were actually terryfied when they saw shaman chargin in them with Hand of Ragnaros, they already know what will happen, noone could survive, those deaths were always swift.
