Just Grinding BGs

That's all I've been doing lately, grinding BGs. I rotate from each one and collect tokens.

I think the 3 Shamans each have 20k Honor, and I need 40 Eye of the Storm tokens now for Vindicator Boots. I think I have 22 EoTS. Aszhat have 40+ EotS but I think I'll save 25k and get S1 Gladiator weapon for a nice +spell damage increase along with +40 spell damage enchant.

Team Shaman: Sha'tar Revered

Yes, I got all 3 Shamans to Revered with Sha'tar. I just need 6x Fel Lotus and I can make 3x Alchemist Stones. I will have 15x Primal Mights tonight also.

Also, I am close to Revered with SSO, that 1 more week would get me Exalted just by doing Daily quests. So that means I need 6x Nether Vortex for the epic alchemy trinkets.

Last night, I main tanked for Zul'Aman and only got the bear boss to 30%. Our off-tank wasn't up to par in gear. After I re-gem and re-enchant my tanking gear, I got 14k health and 15k armor unbuffed. After some buff, I got 17k/17k health and armor. The warrior was about 2k less than me. Anyway, I got the 20 slot bag quest, and also got the Shaman's in to get their 20 slot bags as well.

Team Shaman: Shadow Labs

For a change of pace, I helped a druid farm an Idol that increases Lifebloom healing.
We cleared to the first boss in Shadow Labs and reset about 7 times.
So I got 14 Spirit Shards from it. I only ran the 2 Elemental Shamans, Azzhat and Aszhat with my Prot Pally, and the Resto Druid and Enchanced Shaman.

Team Shaman

I'm halfway to Revered with Shattered Sun Offensive faction, and I've missed a few nights and not really doing much of the SSO packs.

I also did some Mechanar clearing, but the Totem of the Void is not dropping. I really should just work towards resetting the Legion Cache instead of clearing Mech Lord and the last boss, Panth.

However, I get a nice cloak upgrade last time, so I might as well just do it until the 2 Elemenal Shaman (Azzhat and Aszhat).

I also did some of the quests that gave Sha'tar rep. I should work on the Shield quest line but the time to get that would be the same time clearing Mech for the totem drop. I'm halfway to Revered with Sha'tar.

I also started working on upgrades via Arena and Honor points. I got the S3 gloves and put +Spell Damage, and +Healing enchants accordingly.

Next, I grinded EotS for 20 tokens and got S1 maces for everyone who can. I put +Spell Damage, and +Healing enchants accordingly.

Then, I grinded WSG for 20 tokens and got Vindicator Bracers for everyone and put +Spell Damage, and +Healing enchants accordingly.

I think the next BG item I will work on is Boots.

Team Shaman: Direction

I seem to be all over the place when it comes to pursuing to gear up. Here's a summary of the plan that kinda intersect with each other.

1. Shattered Sun Offensive. To exalted with this reputation has many benefits.
  • Gold from the daily quest towards epic flying mounts.
  • Neck and Shield
  • Alchemy trinket
2. Sha'tar. I need revered.
  • For Spell Damage Glyph - head enchant
  • Alchemy trinket
  • Totem of the Plain farming in Mechanar
  • Possible Badge of Justice run

Team Shaman

Well, the routine starts with Transmuting Primal Mights between 4 alchemist, 3 of them my Shamans. I transmuted 4 Primal mights, and 2 of them them proc'd 2x twice, a total of 4 Primal Mights.

I should also consider spending Primal Water (15g) and Primal Life (20g) for 5x Transmute Primal Mooncloths, but it's not as important today. I can probably sell each cloth at 50g each. Sell bags at 350 to 415 maybe, or just keep it.

I end up 4-boxing Alterac Valley last night, and had time to do the IQD quest, but no SSO packs.

I also spent 16k honor for Aszhat and ran a 3v3 Arena team with 2 other teams. We went 2-8, my elemental shaman was not ready for it, but welfare epic points are welcome.

Alterac Valley weekend

My Shamans did some AV battleground this weekend for some honor points.

I also managed to get all 3 up to 350 Alchemy, finish their Philosopher's Stone, and become Master Transmuters.

I did not run them doing IQD quest, but I only did 1 run with the main epic team.

KZ and Fire Nova Totems

My guild did Karazhan last night and I main tanked it.
Our goal was to do 2.5 hours of run for badges.
We got 13 and died attempting Prince 3 times--just random crap that gets people killed in this event. Oh well, 13 Badges are good and got my total to 45 now.

I did not have time to play the 3x Shamans except for a few entertaining minutes in Ogrimmar.

I used the macro:
/cast Fire Nova Totem
/in 3.5 /logout

The drops a Fire Nova Totem and logout out my shamans.
In turn, the totems turn neutral and explodes and damages nearby players.
I killed a few lowbies, one even at level 46 with about 3 logout worth of totems.

Team Shaman: update

I started Wednesday evening clearing Black Morass with the Prot Pally to help out the guildies--Sanctume Prot Pally is about 405 rep away from Exalted in Keeper of Time for that 15 Agility gloves.

I then spent some time individually running 2 Shamans in BG, and got mostly Arathi Basin. Only 1 of them completed the daily BG. I ran them individually because I was busy checking the AH for herbs to get the 2nd Shaman his Alchemy to 300.

I also flew my Rogue Herbalist around Hellfire looking for Golden Sansam which is my cockblock herb to 300. I think I have enough to get the 2nd Shaman to 300 Alchemy, but I need another set for the 3rd Shaman.

Then, the next step is to get their Herbalism to 350 or 375.

I have 12 Primal Mights ready for the 4 Shamans to get Master Transmute.

After that, I am thinking of getting them Sporeggar faction for the Transmute Earth to Water.

I would then work on their Alchemy Stone while they continue their Shattered Sun Offensive faction.

Speaking of SSO, I ran the IQD daily only and I did not have time to do the SSO packs out in Outlands. 1760/6000 Friendly rep to SSO now.

Team Shaman: Daily & BG

After I did my IQD and SSO packs quest with the main team, I ran the IQD and SSO packs daily quests for the Shamans. They went from 0 Neutral to 60/6000 Friendly in one evening.

Badge of Justice count:
05.06.08 Azzhat: 0 of 3
05.06.08 Ashat: 0 of 3
05.06.08 Azhat: 0 of 3

After that, I went into Alterac Valley. 28 Killing Blow for Team, 2nd plate but a first win in AV.
The next game, we lost as the noobs around me prefer road fighting than pushing on the Grave Yard and Towers.

Team Shaman: Gear Up!

Well, last night, I was 5999/6000 Friendly to Sha'tar faction, so I head on over to Mechanaar to get that last point into Honored. But I end up clearing all except the 2nd boss.

Then I went to Ogrimmar since I forgot to train the spells since back in level 66/67--that was around 100g each Shaman!

I got all the PvP Rep Vendor gear, the Elemental Set, and Resto Set. Azzhat and Aszhat are both Elemental, and Azhat is Resto. I don't have the Helm Glyph enchant yet, nor the Meta gem. But I did put all Red +Spell Damage to the Elemental Set, including a few pieces for PvE nuking.

For the Resto, I put in Stam/Resilience and Healing gems for PvP, and all Healing for the PvE set.

I also spent the time cleaning the bank and sold all the gear I don't need, which got some of my training money back.

I did not spend money in +Spell Damage or +Healing enchants yet. I will get the Spell Thread for the legs.

I started buying herbs in the Auction House and will work on getting their Alchemy up. I should start the Shattered Sun Offensive daily quest, and work on grinding some BGs. It's Alterac Valley weekend coming soon.

Team Shaman: Ding 70!

Yes! Aszhat, Azzhat and Azhat all hit 70 last night. Aszhat hit 70 midway in the Scryer quest chain in Shadowmoon Valley. By the time Azzhat hit 70, Azhat was onlt 20% into 69.

It was a tough weekend, and I only did 1 day's worth of daily to get some gold. But I had plenty enough to buy each shaman the started flying mount (1200 each). Money-wise, the shaman's had 800, 640, and 500g on them when they hit 70.

What is next, to get them geared!

Let me list my routine for them:
Isle of Quel Danar (IQD) daily quests.
SSO Packs quest: Nagrand Goggles, Netherstorm Sunfury Attack Plan, and Throne of Kil'jaeden.
Sha'tar Rep to get the last PvP Rep.
Heroics for more Rep and Glyph Enchants.
Gems and Enchants.
Epic Flying Mounts.
Badge of Justice.

Orphants for Lower City

I helped a guildie do Old Hillsbrad last night for Keepers of Time faction. I only brought my 70 Prot Pally and 1 of the Shaman, Aszhat.

Prior to heading over to Caverns of Time, I did the Orphant quests and got 1250 Lower City faction. Not bad for travelling to Sporeggar, Throne of Elements, Outland Portal, Silvermoon City and Caverns of Time.

I decided to do the Orphant quests also for the Priest, Holy Pally and Warrior. The Holy Pally finally got honored, but the priest was short in rep.

The normal daily instance was Shadow Labs, so I went there with my non-Shaman team, killed the first boss, and 3 Mal Instructors for the daily.

Team Shaman: Old Hillsbrad

I tried Black Morass with 70 Prot Pally, 70 Frost Mage, 2x 67 Elemental Shaman, and 66 Resto Shaman to NO SUCCESS. I only gave it 1 attempt, and first Rift Lord messed me up.

When the tremor totem mis-pulsed on fear, my shamans gets out of alignment, then the time to fix them is enough to lose control of the adds, and sometimes lose agro on the Rift Lord.

I think I need to upgrade my gear and get them enchanted for better DPS.

Anyway, I decided to run 2 more Old Hillsbrad in normal mode and got the Shamans to Honored with Keepers of Time.
