Hello Folks...

I've have now browsed the forums for some time, being fairly quiet, and just sucking the information to me :)

However i think we do lack a thread like [url=http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html;jsessionid=E92FC044C33EE69E8D78D4111454EB19.app09_02?topicId=288790162&sid=1]this[/url]. I found that thread very usefull and informative, still it's based on Restoration Spec. Like the healer thread, I am hoping to help out some lost souls trying to gear up their Elemental Shaman by listing fairly easy quest's/runs/faction items, where you don't require a 10-man/25-man raid to obtain decent gear
So hoping this will be a sticky to help Newcommers as well as "Old School" Shamans :)

I'll start off by copy/pasting the Items from the above thread (Leaving out the Gems/Enchants for now), and hopefully folks can pitch in and i'll update the thread as it Goes :)

I don't really know enough about Shamans to comment on how detailed/finished this is.

Is it done? Is it ready? Is it up to date? You decide!
If you think it's truly worthy of being added to the sticky-linky-post-thingy, say so and I'll get it done tomorrow.

After all, this is supposed to be your forum; tell us what you want from it and we'll do what we can to give it to you! :)



P.S. feel free to educate me in the ways of the Shaman- I'm always looking to know my enemy!

Trying to stay on-topic here:

The 'other' thread you mentioned has already been added to the sticky, Dobs.
That's the "Pre-Kara: 10k mana, 1400 +healing & 100 mp5" one, right?

As for this one, I'm gonna add it to the sticky now. I'm sure there are still a few changes to be made (I could be wrong), but I'm also sure you'll stay on top of it and make sure this thread is and stays sticky-worthy. Good job!

For reference, here is the link to the sticky I'm talking about:
