Well, I finally said adios to my trusted PVP cleaver and welcomed in a Netherbane to my off-hand. A fine upgrade and pretty high up there on my list of weapons for an enhancement shaman. 4th overall in value for an enhancement shaman for off-handers currently. This will change come the 2.4 patch, but a darn good off-hand indeed.
Group:
- Hunter (our guild’s best dps’er on 25-person raids, hands down)
- Warrior (long time great player and tankasaur)
- Druid (feral) / Paladin (prot) swapped in for 1 boss Jan’alai
- Rogue
- Shaman (me)
Totems:
- Grace of Air Totem (sometimes twisted with Windfury for the Warrior and Rogue, but 90% GoA)
- Strength of Earth Totem
- Searing Totem
- Healing Stream Totem
Nalorakk
Just dps like mad and don’t pull aggro.
Notes:
- Heroism at about 35% health left on boss
- My miss rate is better this time at about 13%
- Crit rate (white damage): 38%
- Windfury rate: 29%
- Fire resist rate: over 20% (looks like Nalorakk resists fire a fair bit, hmmm if my spell hit was only better)
Akil’zon
I love, love this boss. Very melee friendly! Just dps like mad and don’t pull aggro.
Notes:
- Heroism at about 40% health left on boss
- Nature Resistance Totem used instead of Grace of Air /Windfury. Could have been higher dps!
- My miss rate: 15.6%
- Crit rate (white damage): 35%
- Windfury rate: 30%
- Earth Shock resist rate: over 23% (looks like Akil’zon resists a fair bit of nature damage, hmmm better spell hit will help, but will effect other melee factors)
Halazzi
Still have a few improvements to make on this boss. Seems like the Corrupted Lightning totem does get in my way of making more dps on the boss, but lasting the entire encounter was more important tonight. I even took a sabre-lash or two. Yuck!
Notes:
- Heroism at about 30% health left on boss
- My miss rate: 15%
- Crit rate (white damage): 34%
- Windfury rate: 29%
- Fire resist rate: over 30% (looks like Halazzi resists heaps of fire damage, hmmm)
Jan’alai
My first ever kill of this boss, heck…. it’s my first ever SEEING this boss. He can be a pain, but I just prioritize my targets for bird adds first, Jan’alai 2nd after the bird adds are down.
Notes:
- Stay alive!
- Heroism at about 30% health left on boss
- My miss rate: 20% ouch! Parries ftl!
- Crit rate (white damage): 27%
- Windfury rate: 25% boo!
Hex Lord Malacrass
I pulled on my PVP gear for stamina buffs. All sorts of any kinds of stamina increases so we can all survive the Spirit Bolts (Shadow) ability from the Hex Lord. Made sure I was topped up in health just before the Spirit Bolts came blasting in.
Notes:
- Heroism at about 25% health left on boss
- Group makeup was changed to Rogue, Warrior, Hunter, Hunter & me.
- My miss rate: 15.9%
- Crit rate (white damage): 38%
- Windfury rate: 31%
Add’l details on his abilities on this fight:
We packed up and held Zul’jin for tomorrow.
We were a bit tired and wanted to try Zul’jin with full rested XP, so we’ll try him tomorrow night. Note: this dungeon will reset in 1 day 3 hrs!
Raiding Enhancements - Shaman 
Did you change something to your overall hit rating ?
I picked up the Bloodsea Brigand’s Vest with the +27 hit rating, but my overall hit rating is around 120.
Hey, so ive just started reading your blog site and was wondering if you are going to spend the 105 badges to upgrade your MH weapon. I too am currently using Dragonstrike and Netherbane, and I personally will be upgrading to increase my overall dps.
Oh and one more thing I was wondering was if you were running with an Elemental Shaman in the raid. And do you mind sharing your SS with him/her.
Staticshock: You bet your arse I’m getting Vanir’s Right Fist of Brutality to replace my Dragonstrike. I’d eventually upgrade to Vengeful Gladiator’s Cleaver, but I haven’t the PVP time nowadays.
No elemental shammy atm. I’m in yer Raidz, Uzin up all meh Stormstrike!
Superb, what a website it is! This webpage provides helpful information to us, keep it
up.
