Patch 3.3.3

Patch 3.3.3: A Call to Arms

So Patch notes and PTR information has started to stream out little by little, and shaman among other classes are noticing changes, well I'm here to break down all of that we know about these changes so far. Now the patch is not 100% completed yet and I'll continue to keep you all up to date as time goes on, but as far as we know these are the enhancement shaman changes as of today.

Shaman

• Flame Shock: The damage-over-time component of this ability can now produce critical strikes and is affected by spell haste 

Enhancement

• Unleashed Rage: This ability is now always on as a passive aura.  

  

Glyphs

• Glyph of Flame Shock - Increases the critical strike damage bonus of your Flame Shock periodic damage by 60%.  

Some good changes as we can see so far, flame shock capable of producing critical strikes without the aid of a glyph and is also affected by spell haste to boot is a nice addition. Unleashed Rage now a passive aura instead of having to crit for it to proc is another positive. As far as the new glyph I'm not 100% sold on it yet, I will have to go over the numbers and get back to you all on that, as I said before I'll continue to keep you all up to date.

Enhance Yourself : Battered Hilt.

 

Hey yall, its been awhile since my last post, ive been busy with stuff IRL but im back and got a fresh post for you all.

Now you all may have noticed in trade chat people advertising to sell an item called a Battered Hilt and have wondered what it does and why it happens to sell for so much? Well the answers is a few things, the item opens up a quest chain in which leads to a good amount of gold and upon completion of Quest : A Victory for the Sunreavers (H) / Quest : A Victory for the Silver Covenant (A) will lead to a Epic sword of item level 251. Now you may ask yourself  "A Sword? why would an enhancement shaman like me want that?" well I'm gonna tell you why, blizzard added a special part to this quest allowing players not able to wield swords, to have there own special weapon as well.

Now there are 3 options to choose from but were only gonna review the one that matters to us enhancement shamans, the Cudgel of Furious Justice, at first glance this weapon lacks the look of a weapon your willing to wield, but what it lacks in looks it makes up for in power and stats, with its high dps and slow speed its ideal for enhancement also something to notice is the the haste that is present on this weapon, which is something rare in these days of Icecrown raiding, most weapons you will find either have hit or armor penetration, so haste is a welcome sight. In all this item is something to look for if your building your way to join a top guild, if you can afford to get your hands on one I suggest it, if not try your luck at running heroic Forge of Souls, Pit of Saron, or Hall of Reflection. Good Luck and Happy Hunting.
