Cataclysm feedback: AOE healing class balance

By Lissanna | Published: August 1, 2010
While it is still a little early to talk about overall class balance, I would like to take some time to talk about mana costs of AOE (multi-target) healing spells for the various classes. Disclaimer: When reading this post, DO NOT use it as an excuse to cry about the sky falling, as the sky [...]

Cata class mechanics: The waiting game

By Lissanna | Published: April 8, 2010
So, druids don’t get their class preview until Friday. However, I’ll have intermittent internet access over the weekend, so I wanted to get up one more post before I left. There are some things in the priest reviews that I find particularly interesting and wanted to talk about the implications that my cut across classes. [...]

Cataclysm Gearing: Is reforging something to look forward to?

By Lissanna | Published: February 6, 2010
Okay, so my moonkin is having a terrible time trying to gear up in ICC. I’m having a hard time finding things like belts & bracers out of the 25-man instance that would be worthwhile, and I had to pick up a crit/spirit dagger off Morrow (paired with an off-hand I had from the ICC [...]

Building a better resto shaman alt

By Lissanna | Published: January 24, 2010
Okay, so I have a shaman alt that I sometimes play. My alt has been 80 for long enough that I’m in mostly epic gear from heroics. I’ve tried raiding 10-mans once or twice, without great success. I tend to call Lissiel my “fail shaman”, because my alt just doesn’t live up to the expectation [...]

Merrymaker Lissiel

By Lissanna | Published: December 26, 2009
I finished all of the Winter’s Veil achievements on my shaman! It wasn’t actually too bad, since I finished it all on my druid last year. My shaman healed two wintergrasp battles to get enough of the PvP kills, and went on some low level Nexus runs to get the Santa Hat for ‘Tis the [...]

Practice Makes Perfect – Lissiel the Fail Shaman

By Lissanna | Published: December 16, 2009
So, I’m one of those specialists who spend hours and hours and hours focusing on one character. This means that I know druids really, really well – but I know much less about other classes. Lissanna feels more like an extension of myself than a character that I play in the video game. I do, [...]

Ding! My shaman is 80!

By Lissanna | Published: November 30, 2009
My shaman, Lissiel on Elune, finally hit 80! My goal over Thanksgiving break was to hit 80 on my shaman, and I met that goal! I have an enhancement spec & a resto spec. I’m working on getting them geared up, and such. I’ll be doing some more shaman research soon and I’ll probably do [...]
