Nhia (not verified) — Mon, 07/21/2008 - 09:45

Dont hesitate to hit me up in game if you need any help. I am usually around in some form. If not Nhia, then my warrior (Auraura) or my rogue (Khaylla).

I can help you w/ anything you might need to know shammy-wise in grid or macros and what nots. :)

p.s.s.s.s.s.......NEVER WEAR THAT HELM GRAPHIC! EVER!

To update you. I manage

Jaea — Sun, 07/20/2008 - 13:42

To update you. I manage and heal a Gruul's pug run yesterday with Grid and Decursive (old habits die hard). It took a little getting use to, but I think I have it. I'm just waiting for a chance to show you what I can do.

Also, am I allowed to sign up for your events? I see you have a number on your calender that I am available for. I just don't want to start signing up without your permission.

Sign up for anything you can

Grasen — Sun, 07/20/2008 - 14:46

Sign up for anything you can make, signing up dont gaurentee you a spot but is helpfull to know tp look for you when we need someone

Never know what we'll come for :)

Jaea and I were in

ziz (not verified) — Sat, 07/19/2008 - 21:38

Jaea and I were in Insurrection together. I enjopyed raiding with him and think he would be a good addition to Downfall. He has a good attitude. :)

I would like to apologize

Jaea — Sat, 07/19/2008 - 18:05

I would like to apologize for not being on at the start of the TK raid today. I got caught up doing work at my church. It shouldn't happen again and I would welcome another chance to try and raid with you. Also, I'm sorry I didn't sign up, I was a little confused as to how you sign up. But I've found the link on the link to sign up now, so it shouldn't be a problem in the future.

Ya I'll make sure to hit you

Jaea — Sat, 07/19/2008 - 03:29

Ya I'll make sure to hit you up Friks or Aidinselene. RIght now I'm just getting my key bindings down. Also, I'm not sure where I should sign up for the raids, where would they be posted?

The top right of all pages

Aidin — Sat, 07/19/2008 - 09:06

The top right of all pages should show Upcoming Events, for a Full Calendar, click Calendar at the top of the screen.

Aidin — Fri, 07/18/2008 - 11:24

How's Grid comin? Hit me up on Aidinselene or Friks if you want to go over it in detail!!

Would really like to know

garreth — Fri, 07/18/2008 - 11:17

Would really like to know when you've had a chance to get into Grid. It will completely change the game for you.

Also, would like to run some stuff with you. Please sign up for our weekend SSC/TK raid. This is THE chance to try out with us.

Here is a link to my UI.

Here is a link to my UI. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3131/2677630723_ee6b6f9598_b.jpg

As you can see I've installed your addons and I hope to be able to test out Grid in the days to come.

Ya I've been saving for

Jaea — Thu, 07/17/2008 - 13:53

Ya I've been saving for those 2 items Nhia. I right now have about 51 badges so a kara run and maybe a heroic would get me the belt or I could go for the ring. The reason my gear isn't better is that, I was raiding elemental for a long time and I made the switch to resto to help out in my guild, about a month or more ago. So I will continue to push to improve my gear to be a better healer. Also, I've never used Grid to be honest. I've used Healbot and Decursive. But I'm open to learning to use Grid if that is what is wanted by the raid leaders.

As for my end game raiding experience, I've been in SSC for a number of months as a dps and a few times as a healer. I've been in Hyjal just past the first boss (sorry my we never got farther in) and I've never been in BT. As for Sunwell, I've only been in there for Trash GKPs and that was as a healer. But I've seen many of the BT fights already, since my brother was in some end game raiding guilds, so I would sometimes watch him and his guild do the boss fights. I know that watching and doing a fight are to different things, but I learn fast and I know that I can do it.

Gear upgrades will only come

Nhia (not verified) — Thu, 07/17/2008 - 12:44

Gear upgrades will only come from Hyjal/BT. Some T6 or offset items would be a huge upgrade for you. Also, work on getting some of the badge gears i'll list below:

The Badge Belt: Clutch of the Soothing Breeze (22 Heal Gem)

The Badge Ring: Anveena's Touch (In place of your dmg/heal ring from kara)

Even the Badge Legs/Chest are big upgrades for you. If you have enough badges, but the 2 biggest upgrades for you I listed above. Also, dont use 3mp5 gems. Use a healing/mp5 gem in the blue slots.

Other than that, your gear looks rly good for where you're at. Try to be online like Ataraxia said. Some good time in Hyjal/BT will have your gear upgraded in no time. :)

Can you please post a link

garreth — Thu, 07/17/2008 - 12:43

Can you please post a link to a ss of your ui?

Also, do you know Grid and mouseover macros? Talk to us about your end game experience a bit more.

Keep in touch with

Atar — Thu, 07/17/2008 - 12:27

Keep in touch with Ataraxia. You may get some raid time if i'm hurting on heals one night. Let me know you're around.

you defintely need some

Nhia (not verified) — Thu, 07/17/2008 - 10:39

you defintely need some major major gear upgrades and some help on gem selection for shaman.

Other than that little tidbit, looks decent.

In terms of what pieces of

Jaea — Thu, 07/17/2008 - 10:52

In terms of what pieces of gear do you think I need to improve my gem selection? Are you talking about the 3 mana per 5 gems. Ya they could use replacing.

And thanks for the bump garreth.

And That would be Eastern Time Zone. I live in Toronto, Ontario, which would I guess be Eastern Canada.

Let's get those gear

garreth — Thu, 07/17/2008 - 10:48

Let's get those gear suggestions and gem selection put up here.

Read up on ALL BT and Hyjal

garreth — Thu, 07/17/2008 - 10:36

Read up on ALL BT and Hyjal fights. Watch many movies about them from here: www.warcraftmovies.com

As a resto shammy you could be seeing some pretty good action relatively soon.

Eastern Canada? or Central?

Yes, I like to heal. No, I've never been shadow.
