Concerted Shaman Community On PTR

Last patch (3.2), I was incredibly lack luster about getting onto the PTR and doing some testing. For 3.2.2, I didn’t think testing was that big of a deal because it was a minor content patch, so I didn’t do any testing there, either. For 3.3, which looks now to be shaping up to be an awesome patch, I’m planning on focusing a lot of time on testing/playing/blogging about the PTR.

To that end, I figured it’d be a pretty rad idea to put together an informal guild of Shaman on the PTR, so that we have a place to discuss new changes, flex our epeen aoe damage, and generally make fools of ourselves. It’s going to be named <Best Shaman on Server>, because I have a huge ego and I thought it’d be funny.

It is going to be informal, which means:

  • -Posting Meters is cool, provided you have a reason for doing it. “Hey, look at this 7500 dps on Sarth is cool; I think it has something to do with Fire Nova” would be sort of what I’m looking for.
  • -As far as I can tell, we have some pretty inane and pointless conversations on the shaman forums. I start a quarter of them. That’s fine too- we can’t talk Shaman 24/7…it’ll get boring.
  • -Alts are cool. Because being able to play a destro lock at 80 with reign of the dead when you’ve not been able to convince yourself to level out of the Barrens is a fun time.
  • -Bashing on Blizzard is not cool when taken in an extreme. “I don’t understand/hate that they removed Fire Nova Stun” is fine. “OMG FIRE NOVA STUN NERF IS PROOF THAT BLIZZARD HATES THIS CLASS” is stupid, and I will demote you to a rank of “not being able to talk in guild” for a length in time.
    -Open Door Policy. If your guild wants to make a concerted effort at Icecrown Citadel, definitely drop guild to do it with them. If your guild decides to stop due to lack of interest and you want to come back in, that’s perfectly fine too…provided you weren’t an annoying twat to begin with.
    -Any spec is fine. I focus on PVE Enhance myself, but PVP Enhance, PVE/PVP Elemental, PVE/PVP Restos are all cool.

If anyone is interested, I’ll be on my Premade Draenei (Yes, we’re doing it ally side) Shaman Failam, on Broxrigar- the PVE server. I’m working on getting charter signatures now, and hope to have it up and running within the next few days.

Hope to see/talk to you all in game form soon. :D

    Ooh, I’m coming to stalk you tonight and pester you for a guild invite. :-) I’ve never done anything on the PTR before, so this will be my first time. Just be aware, my shaman is my alt and I’ll be picking your brain on how to be a non-scrubby enhancement shaman.

    Dooo eet! I’m so totally cool with that. :D

    I’m on either Treelam or Healam some of the time- don’t be afraid to ask me to log over and grab your signature if I’m on one of them!
