Majin Update: Black Bruise

So our Thursday night raid came around, and there we were face to face with "Festergut" the ugly abomination himself. We charged in with full force and downed the beasty swiftly and forcefully, as we sat there as loot was called and handed out I sat unaware of what the ugly one held in his possession. Moments later to my shock I found my Raid leader Post in raid chat "Black Bruise, Bid", My eyes lit up and scrambled to post my bid, and before I knew it, I come to hear over vent "Last Call, 3, 2, 1, Grats Majin" suddenly I was hit with in game tells of "Grats Majin" "Awesome" ect....

Ok enough of the roleplay "lol", So Thursday came and went and I was fortunate to receive my vary own "Black Bruise". As you can see from the image above this weapon is kind of lacking in stats, but what makes this weapon so special is not its stats but the proc in which it provides its wielder. the rate of this proc is fairly generous, and from early tests on target dummies I've seen a 100-200 dps boost from it selfbuffed, I have not yet had a chance to test this bad boy out on a raid boss, since Thursday happens to be our last raid day of the week, but I will keep you updated come Tuesday.  

Enhance Yourself : "Relic Slot" Totems

Enhance Yourself : "Relic Slot" Totems

Hey guys I'm back and I have a fresh "Enhance Yourself" post for you all today and the focus is on the "Relic Slot", an item slot we share with Druids (Idols), Paladins (Librams), and Death Knights (Sigils) alike. As a shaman I've always liked the idea that we hybrids have had that extra slot in which to receive that extra boost, whether it be to Dps or Healing, it has always been something to call our own.

In this post I'm going to review the two new DPS totems released with patch 3.3.

 

Lets start out with Totem of the Avalanche, as you can see in the image above if you were to compare the two, most would think to grab it without a second guess. By looking at it the bonus to attack power (146 x 3 = 438) is nice from doing nothing more then Stormstrike, I consider this totem a nice upgrade for those doing heroics to entry level ICC raiding, but if end game is your game consider option two.

And here we have "Bizuri's Totem of Shattered Ice" Blizzards elemental shaman totem if you will, well most would think that at first glance and again are right to do so. But in recent months haste has started to become a key if not the key stat for enhancement shamans in end game raiding because of the benefits it can bring to the table such as faster weapon swings, which equal more white damage, faster maelstrom proc times, shorting GCD time, and much more, but thats for another post /smile for now lets continue with the totem at hand. As you can see the totem grants the player 44 haste per tick stacked to 5 for 30secs (44 x 5 = 220) and the nice thing about it is the proc doesn't occur from "Flame Shocks" initial damage but from its "Periodic Damage" meaning this totem is very low maintenance in an already high maintenance priority line or rotation if you will. With "Flame Shock" by the numbers providing higher dps to enhancement this totem seems to fit the Enhancement bill nicely, and is my choice for end game totem.
