Shaman in Cataclysm

as resto, im thinking this build: Cata Resto Build
the last two points in Elemental Fury could be allocated to a pushback reducer, or other talent in the resto tree - but ideally i wont need it with our awesome tanks.

any input, or ideas for elemental offspec?
enhancement will only be valid for me if they make thirdspec available.

My resto build for Cata

This is my healing spec for raids, I dont give a crap about trying to dps while healing. Unless they give +hit talents I wont bother. I love being able to get the run speed talent for resto and highly recommend the pushback talent because if they continue the current raid design model you will need it.

seems alright, ill have to try the shock'n'awwwlemmehealyou spec before i discard it. Note Focus Insight comes after casting a shock spell, u dont need to hit. For the clearcasting (Elemental Focus) u do tho.

I'd still rather have the extra GCD, priests and palas get hit talents so I WANT TOO

Not decided on the dps while healing thing until I try it, healing is already fun as is. Perhaps I'm just nervous because I know tons of healers who barely focus as it is. Expect to hear a lot of "I was dpsing that's why you didnt get heals and died over a long period of time".

also healers going: i NEED +hit! from now on im need rogue gear.

What I heard was that these 'healing/dps' specs was only for healers bored in heroics, as it would take too many talent points away from important stuff.

Also, to quote Unvi

It is a really nice talent in raids where all the raid takes damamge, and pushback is a hag.

they added telluric currents now, it seems that gives u the sentiment for shamanresto hit talent. Maybe, convieniently placed in the telluric currents talents?

Could you provide some sort of source? Because I dont understand what you just said xD

Telluric Currents: Your lightning bolt restores mana equal to 45% of damage dealt.

It does seem to be the motivating talent to do some dps.

Now that you're going resto shammy and we still have a massive tank shortage I'll probably go Druid, seems to get a few extra skills to make it interesting and I get to set invisible mushroom traps.

And if you can say that again without sounding like Günther here is pressing his gun in your back, that would be awesome. We dont want you to look bad when we try to convince the government that you really changed name to Gomez Gonzales and moved to Mexico with all your money. Are we clear?

I like druid but I dont think that's Günthers gun pressing into my back. Stop hiring your henchmen from ads on gay porn sites.

Druid are fun, I'll be more than happy tanking with a few offspecs as needed.
