I recently had a friend ask me what I know about playing Shamans in PvP. I've never played a Shaman beyond lvl 18 though and so didn't really have much to tell her. So I'm asking here to try and get a thread started that I can show her. How does a typical Shaman PvP fight go? I'm assuming my friend plays her Shaman on a PvP server and so we might be talking both 1 on 1 fights as well as group battles. Also, what builds tend to lend themselves toward PvP? I guess I'm really just asking what the general Shaman PvP thought process is. Here, I'll quote my friend asking me about things so you can get an idea of where I am coming from.
In general, she just seems kind of lost right now with the class. So I'm hoping to gather up some info that she can read and will hopefully make her feel more comfortable with things and have an idea of where she is going. Does anyone have any Shaman advice that they could post here?
Quote:friend: i hear all this about how shamans are so good and awesome at pvp but i can't figure it out
friend: i haven't touched restoration at all but i'm thinking i should
friend: i don't really like the other stuff
friend: enhancement rather
friend: there's hardly anything useful except a bunch of crit strike crap
friend: i use my staff for a lot of things but as far as purely offensive goes i think i may be taking a bad route
swirly: I think Shamans are most known for lots of front-loaded damage in PvP. So you will want to look at all that stuff. I don't know much though. I don't have a shaman over 18 heh
friend: well
friend: i have been trying to see magma totem or searing totem is better
