I always run discipline, extra special mushrooms, the crit ap regen tactic, and dat make me dizzy; instant rez is extremely useless in rvr and sometimes even in pve if a tank somehow goes down. I hardly every need to switch up tactics even for pve because our tanks guard some rediculous dps outputting melee/caster dps classes and tank like a boss.

I also think that dropping extra mastery points into gork is the way to go, especially once you hit 70 as gorks barbs are AWESOME when running premade scenario groups!

Although the career changes were probably supposed to make a shaman’s heals consist mostly of HoT’s and single target heals, AoE is still alive and well, and in RvR it’s extremely important. PVE is a different story and actually I would probably change out my tactics to what you mentioned.

As for points into Gork instead of Da Green. In group situations I see no point. You get no WAAAGH benefit from dealing more damage, only for casting the abilities. This is specifically for RvR and hopefully no shaman is alone in rvr, no matter the build lol. 6 points in Gork won’t boost your dmg enough to notice anyway. But you will notice your buffs are buffing for more points than before.

Just a different preference of abilities I suppose : ) Whatever gets the job done!

If we didn’t all have different methods, we’d only need one class, one build.

Thanks for the comments!

Dat Makes Me Dizzy is useless, given that the cast time is already 3 secs, and it’s far better to be able to cancel and run than to be a stunned sitting duck. Get RUN AWAY! instead. Gork Fix’d it is… eh, okay, but in terms of healing I’d probably take discipline instead and boost the HOTs (which is what most healing should come from).

Git Outta Here and Extra Special Mushrooms are wonderful, of course.

As for path of the green… eh, it works as a point dump. The tree’s abilities are rather poor at this point. Don’t forget that Path of Gork is nice for the times when you have to kill pets, or get caught out alone.
