Heroic Update

Just wanted to take a moment and jot down the heroics I've cleared on the 5 x Shaman team.

The Slave Pens Heroic - Cleared
Sethekk Halls Heroic - Cleared
The Steamvault Heroic - Cleared
The Underbog Heroic - Cleared
The Botanica Heroic - Cleared
The Mechanar Heroic - Cleared
The Shadow Labs Heroic - Cleared
The Shattered Halls Heroic - Cleared

This week I've taken a small break from multiboxing to enjoy some raiding with one of my Shamans as enhancement spec. Really good fun.

QQ

I have decided to put arena on hold until 2.4. I'm playing all 5 of my guys, since I only have between 600 and 650 spelldamage. I'm struggling to maintain 1400 rating on Cyclone battlegroup. Most teams I meet are very well geared, despite the low rating, so dropping targets are pretty hard still. Got the S3 chest last week, the Icon trinket and the Vindicator's belt, so now I only need the new spelldamage trinket and the ring from Battlegrounds.

I've started running heroics again. I need 210 badges when the 2.4 patch arrives for one ring and the Scryer spelldamage dagger. With these 4 items I should be able to increase my spelldamage to well beyond 800. This would be a huge upgrade for arenas.

Some pvp statistics:

Alterac Valley: 75% win ratio.
Eye of the Storm: 70% win ratio.
Arathi Basin: 50% win ratio.
Warsong Gulch: 40% win ratio.

Losses in Av are pretty much against premades.

Eye of the Storm is good for boxers. No flags to cap, and so I can focus solely on the fighting. Teams with many bloodelfs (mages/rogues especially) will cause problems with their aoe silence.

Arathi Basin and WSG is all about how the other players react to my presence. If they understand whats going on, they will support the team by defending bases and capping flags, and leaving me to counter the main force of the opposition. In most games however, I will have 1-4 players following me around. They won't even dismount to cap a flag if their lives depend on it. In some ways I understand it, but it's still pretty frustrating.

Vindication

Gearing continues. I have gotten the Cloak of Subjugated Power, Vindicator's Bracers and Vindicator's boots. I have almost enough badges to get the Icon trinket, which will add some needed spelldamage. Will grind heroics 1-2 more days for the trinket. After that there is only a couple of items I need from battlegrounds, the ring and the belt, and then it will be arena full time. Will get the s3 chest next week. Looking forward to that.
