Enhancement Shaman Leveling Talent Build

copy PS games

When I start to level up another Shaman twink, I prefer to play an Ehancement Shaman. Why? Enhancement combines great damage, survivability and low gear requirements. The best of all worlds.

Let’s take a look at the 3 available talent trees:

The Elemental Build

While you can dish out huge damage, all your abilities require lots of mana to cast. That’s another thing to distract you. Also you will have a lot of useless spells since they are only viable for parties. But that’s not the biggest problem. The problem is that your poor gear will force you to make a LOT of mana breaks.

Restoration Talent Build

The tree that makes you a healer for your raid group - obviously useless for shaman leveling.

Enhancement Leveling Build

Well this is it! This is the best spec to use for shaman leveling. It combines the advantages of survivability, DPS and low gear requirement. Melee damage will help you kill quest mobs quickly without depending on a lot of mana. You can save mana for buffs and healing, thus supporting your leveling speed indirectly.

Here’s quick guide on how you should spend your talent points:

  1. Enhancing Totems 3/3
  2. Ancestral Knowledge 2/5
  3. Thundering Strikes 5/5
  4. Shamanistic Focus 1/1
  5. Elemental Weapons 3/3
  6. Ancestral Focus 3/5
  7. in Flurry 5/5
  8. Spirit Weapons 1/1
  9. Mental Dexterity 3/3
  10. Improved Shields 1/3
  11. Weapon Mastery 3/3
  12. Unleashed Rage 2/3
  13. Dual Wield 1/1
  14. Dual Wield Specialization 3/3
  15. Stormstrike 1/1
  16. Improved Stormstrike 2/2
  17. Lave Lash 1/1
  18. Static Shock 2/3
  19. Shamanistic Rage 1/1
  20. Static Shock 3/3
  21. Mental Quickness 3/3
  22. Maelstrom Weapon 5/5
  23. Feral Spirit 1/1
  24. Improved Shields 3/3
  25. Unleashed Rage 3/3
  26. Concussion 5/5
  27. Elemental Devastation 3/3
  28. Elemental Warding 3/3
  29. Elemental Focus 1/1
  30. Elemental Fury 5/5

To get the most out of your Enhancement leveling build you should dual-wield and use all your abilities once the cooldown ends. But I still want to give you some advice to boost your shaman leveling speed:

In early levels spam Lightning Bolt to pull the mob and autoattack it. Don’t forget to spam your Earth Shock as well. Switch to Fire Shock once you have the Glyph for it.

The real change in your tactic starts when you get Dual Wield, Stormstrike and Lava Lash. Now you enhance your weapons with Windfury and spam Stormstrike, Lava Lash and Fire Shock like there was no tomorrow.

It should be obvious that the Enhancement Shaman deals great DPS, is very mana efficient and has nearly no downtimes. And finally the gear requirement is much lower for Enhancement than for Elemental.

I hope this guide was able to help you improving your leveling speed by a lot!

What are you waiting for? Put the guide to use and get some exp!

Shaman Leveling Guide - Shaman Leveling Spec

July 17th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Playstation 2 Games, Playstation 3 Games, Playstation Games

Leveling 1-80 with your Shaman can either be easy as pie or a hard, difficult and discouraging task. It depends on which Shaman leveling spec you use.

Inexperienced players often get their talent tree wrong and level slow because don’t use a Shaman leveling guide and don’t understand what their talents are all about.

The most important factors in leveling are raw damage, survivability and downtimes. The more damage your deal in short time, the faster you can kill any quest mob. Many players get frustrated and grind it out on mobs, but if you’re smart about it, you level much faster if you just do the damn quests.

Now, let’s take a look at the 3 different talent trees and which one will help you the mobst to level faster and easier:

The Elemental Tree

When you first use it, the Elemental build will seem to be great for leveling… until you find out you have to make breaks to regenerate mana all the time. Obviously this will slow you down much more that it will help you! Also there are many talents that are efficient in the endgame but can hardly help you in the stages of early leveling.

The Restoration Tree

A decent Tree for the end-game. Of course, some talents can help you to survive nearly everything. After all, dying costs a lot of time. But you will deal hardly any damage and killing even the weakest mob can take a lot of time. Basically you will not use for Shaman leveling. This spec is used to be a healer for instances.

The Enhancement Tree

Now, this is what I’m talking about. Enhancement is a leveling build that will help you to deal a LOT of DPS. Also, this Tree is very straight forward, which makes it perfect for shaman leveling.

In my opinion, Enhancement is the Tree of choice for Shaman leveling. The other Trees are great, too, but you should level using Enhancement and then switch over. Sure you might need new gear and practice, but if you add it up, you’re still faster with Enhancement.

Now spec the Enhancement build and have fun leveling!

The Proven Strategy To Level Mages In WoW

July 13th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Playstation 2 Games, Playstation 3 Games, Playstation Games

Are you searching for a proven and effective guide that can help you to increase your leveling power? Great! You’ve found the right spot right here. This mage leveling guide help you to ding 80 with your mage much faster than before.

First things first: Choose a race that gives you an advantage. For example, if you roll a Gnome you will have 5% more mana and the racial ability Escape Artist. This skill will help you to escape in situations when other races would be immobilized, die and have to walk back to their corpse.

The next thing you absolutely need is a good leveling spec. My mage leveling guide suggests the Frost tree when it comes to leveling a mage. Frost mages have one great advantage: They are masters of AoE damage.

A Frost Mage can bomb whole groups of mobs - that means that he can deal AoE damage to mobs that stand very close to each other. Leveling AoE style works like this: First you mount up, ride around and pull a lot of mobs. The next step is to ride around until the mobs all gather in one tight area. Then you just freeze them with a frost nova. After blinking away from the group, the Frost Mage simply has to cast Blizzard and Cone of Cold until every mob drops dead!

Every time you do this, you can easily kill off 10 mobs or even more. Frost is powerful and very effective leveling spec that my mage leveling guide recommends.

After choosing a race and talent spec you need the right gear. Your options are: Visiting an instance or just buy green random items with stamina and intellect at the auction house. Of course, the better equipment waits for you in the instances – especially spell damage which is most important – but you need a level 80 friend to pull you through.

Once you can visit the outland you won’t have any problems finding gear with lots of spell damage and increased critical strike chance.

That’s the mage leveling guide for beginners. Hope you have fun leveling your mage!

Shaman Leveling Guide - Level 1-80 With Your Shaman

July 13th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Playstation 2 Games, Playstation 3 Games, Playstation Games

If you are looking for some useful tips on leveling your Shaman from level 1-80, then you’re come to the right spot. This overview about Shaman leveling will boost your leveling speed and make it a lot easier to ding 80 in no time.

When leveling a Shaman twink - or even a main - I recommend you to follow the “3 Golden Rules”. Fast leveling is impossible without them. Play by these rules and you will save hours of your time. Ignore them and you will inevitably waste hours of your time.

#1 Golden Rule: You Shall Spec A Proven Leveling Talent Build

When starting your Shaman, you should stick to the most popular and most efficient talent spec: The Enhancement build. There are a lot of advantages: You will be less gear dependant, won’t need much mana and can still deal massive DPS and have a high survivability.

#2 Golden Rule: Thou Shall Use The Right Attack Rotation

Many inexperienced players make this mistake: They just use their abilities almost randomly.

Up to level 40 I highly recommend you to use this skill rotation:

Pull the mob with a Lightning Bolt. Then spam auto attacks and Shocks. As soon as you can switch from Earth Shock to Fire Shock. Once the fight is over, use Healing Touch to recover your lost health.

When you hit level 40 and can finally dual-wield, you should switch your attack rotation: You’ll still initiate with a Lightning Bolt. Then use Stormstrike, Fire Shock and Lava Lash in this order. From now on, use the last three skills once they are off cooldown.

This should give your Shaman leveling speed a nice boost.

#3 Golden Rule: Thou Shall Not Forget About Glyphs

Never forget to get major Glyphs to boost the Shaman leveling power.

Start off with Flame Shock once you hit level 15 and get Windfury Weapons at level 30.

When you hit level 40 you can also get the major glyph: Stormstrike. That’s when you have to choose between the major Glyphs. Go for the two that fit your playing style the most.

Is It Really Okay To Use A Mage Leveling Guide

July 4th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Playstation 2 Games, Playstation 3 Games, Playstation Games

In online WoW communities you find a lot of discussions on speed leveling and leveling guides. Endless debates are going on about which mage leveling guide is the best and if you should use one at all.

Some people go so far and say it destroys the gaming experience for everyone. You don’t read any of the quest descriptions bascially just blast through the world, ignoring everything and everyone around you.

Others say doing everything just once is enough and having to read all the quests over and over is a waste of time. They just wanna enjoy the endgame content with a brand new toon.

I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.

What would WoW look like if all players would just use a mage leveling guide to rush through the world to get to the end game content.

They would look like robots, just doing their thing and ignoring everyone else. Kind of like commuters going to work in the morning.

But the fact that these add-ons aren’t banned by Blizzard shows that it’s not offensive to use them at all. People at Blizzard are gamers themselves and of course they know how repetitive and boring it can get. That’s why players are allowed to help themselves to make things a bit easier.

In fact, would you rather give up playing World of WarCraft because you’re annoyed at how long it takes to level up? Or would you rather get through with it and enjoy the end game content?

Hmm.

Guess what Blizzard wants. I think it’s a win-win situation. When you use a mage leveling guide to level up another twink you will play the endgame content instead of quitting the game.

Folks, just enjoy the game your way and stop getting irritated if somebody has a different perspective. As long as we all play by the rules, we’ll get to enjoy the game.

Grab This Rogue Leveling Guide For Levels 1-80

June 30th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Playstation 2 Games, Playstation 3 Games, Playstation Games

Looking for the fastest and easiest way to level fast? Then a rogue leveling guide might help you to get over the frustrating part of leveling. Literally thousands of players are taking advantage of these guides.

Why would you need a rogue leveling guide? Why is this so important? The answer lies in the way Blizzard has designed leveling.

WoW offers players a vast amount of options and choices: You can grind mobs or quest. Grouping and soloing it. And you can visit instances.

If you dig down into each of those you are confronted with even more options - questing for example: You can choose between thousands of quests in many different areas.

You see, you have to make decisions all the time. Which is the best area to quest with your current character level? Are the mobs too weak or too strong for you? Is this quest a junk-quest that takes lots of time but gives hardly any experience or gold?

Unless you know the answers to all of the questions above, you will inevitably stumble through Azeroth searching for the next best quest. And in doing so you will waste days of your time.

A professional rogue leveling guide eliminates decision-making.

Passionate pro-gamer have already figured out the easiest, fastest and most efficient way to solve each quest and the best order to do them. They call it the “perfect questing path”.

A good rogue leveling guide comes with an in-game add-on. This add-on will show you the very next step you have to take to ding 80 in the least possible amount of time.

Really, it can’t get any easier than this. You won’t have to read any quest descriptions or decide which way to go – the rogue leveling guide add-on already knows ALL the steps from 1-80.

The Warrior Guide To Dominate In PvP

June 26th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Playstation 2 Games, Playstation 3 Games, Playstation Games

Mastering your Warrior in PvE combat is one thing - Mastering Warrior PvP is a whole other beast. If you’re looking to improve your PvP performance with your Warrior, the first step is to understand the role you’re playing in the bigger picture.

When starting PvP, many players only look at their own character as an isolated hero instead of a part of a greater game. That’s a huge mistake!

This quick warrior guide let’s look at this whole picture and imagine it was a chess board - the warrior is only a single piece.

As every class, your Warrior plays a very unique role on the battlefield. If you approach the battle from this strategic perspective, your odds of dominating will increase tenfold.

The first foundation to a greater Warrior PvP potential is having a PvP gear with high resilence rating. PvP and PvP are very different when it comes to gear, as every Warrior guide can tell you. Block Rating and Defense become nearly irrelevant. A raid tank is great for PvE, but helpless on the battlegrounds.

Next, master your stances. You need to react quickly in every situation and instantly pick the right skill in the right stance. You have to react in a second. Slow and Stun your enemies when it’s necessary to have your cooldowns ready when you really need them.

So there you have it.

I know this sounds like very basic knowledge, but ever player needs to get his basics dialed. It’s the foundation every strategy and tactic builds on.

Let me give you an action plan to create a warrior who’s going to crush his opponents in the arena:

#1 – Browse through proven Warrior builds and pick one that suits your style.

#2 – Get your Warrior spec in order with the right glyphs and gear. Don’t forget about pushing your Resilence rating! I also recommend you to write down a list of gear you want to get and how to aquire it asap.

#3 – Make yourself familiar with a solid Warrior PvP guide, but don’t forget to go out and actually train the tactics. Visit battlefields and the arena as often as you can to get the real, practical experience. Accept that you’re going to lose a lot in the beginning.

The 3 Steps Of WoW Fast Leveling

June 24th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Playstation 2 Games, Playstation 3 Games, Playstation Games

In World of Warcraft, leveling your char 1-80 is the most annoying part. It’s fun when you do it for the first time. You can explore Azeroth, meet many new NPCs and see the beauty of the world.

But what happens when you decide to roll a new character? You have to do it all over again for days and weeks.

That’s when people stop having fun playing the game.

Follow my fast leveling tactic and get over the boring part of leveling. Well, it still takes some time but it’s much faster and easier - the best, legal way to level 1-80.

Step One – Choose A Proven Talent Build

Just browse the internet. The WoW community is full of helpful information about leveling talent builds. Just make sure to grab one that works with your current patch of the game.

Step Two – Practice Attack Patterns

With every good leveling spec comes an attack rotation that kills off quest mobs the quickest. Start to practice it constantly. That’s an important aspect of fast leveling.

You can’t affort to get killed.

If you do the math, you’ll be shocked how much gold and time is wasted just by making a mistake and dying. You can prevent this with a little bit of experimenting and practicing.

Step Three – Don’t do junk quests

Do you know what I’m talking about?

There are quests that take up a lot of time, but give you very little in return. Just think of all the group quests. Other players often slow you down. Especially if you’re experienced and just want to get to level 80 fast, skip the group quests.

But there are other quests that waste your time, too. And thouse are less obvious ones. You can get around these with one of the many leveling guides available for all the races and classes.

That’s all you need to start fast leveling in WoW. Later you can also consider boosting your leveling speed with the right gear, glyphs and other tricks and tweaks.

3 Tips That Always Work - The Warrior Guide

June 21st, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Playstation 2 Games, Playstation 3 Games, Playstation Games

When you browse the forums for WoW tips, you will often find advices by players will little experience in WoW. That’s why I want to share 3 tactics with you that are actually used by many experienced WoW players and are proven to work.

Strategy 1

Take a route that allows you to complete as many quests as once as possible. Doing only one quest at a time is a waste of time, as every Warrior guide will tell you.

Unfortunately, some quests can also waste your time. Those quests take you to many different places so you have to spend lots of time traveling around the world. I recommend you to quit these quests as fast as you can and invest your energy in more efficient ones. Your time is too valuable to spend on useless quests.

Strategy 2

You have to know when joining a party makes sense. My warrior guide recommends you to group up only ifthere is no other way. There are quite a few group quests in World of Warcraft. Try to do them yourself is and you will waste a lot of time.

But a party that messes around, has no clue or continues to wipe will also drag you down instead of helping you. You are in a better situation going it alone in this case.

Some classes benefit more from groups than others: Classes without build-in healng for example. Also, priests and mages are better suited to groups because they lack armor function. Groups can be beneficial, but they must work efficiently.

Strategy 3

Honor Kills: Probably the biggest mistake that many, many inexperienced players make. You will hardly get more honor points if you keep on killing the same enemies over and over again. It’s better to join a party and actually complete the battleground objectives to get your points. Being in a Raid will decrease contribution points down to the barest minimum for each kill.

I hope you gained some vaule and insight from my warrior guide. I know that when I first started playing, I sure could have used A LOT of proven WoW tips!
