**VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: YOU MUST SIGN SO I CAN SEE WHO HAS ANSWERED THIS POLL!!! IF NOT YOU WILL BE GKICKED!**

Ok i've come to the conclusion that we're supposed to all be resto, but some people aren't in the guild. So to be fair I'm putting this poll up. I still have the ultimate decision(among w/ other shaman class leaders of course.)

Please choose one and then sign and add any comments to this post. If you don't sign this form I reserve the right to /gkick you. Thank you for your time .

Answer 1: You can be any spec, but healing shamans (31 point resto) get first dibs on healing gear. Also the non-healing shamans are still expected to heal, and if there are too many shamans changing, or we need you to spec healing you are expected to abbide by our wishes for the better of the guild.

Answer 2: Everyone who isn't resto 31 point gets booted from the guild or must respec to 31 point resto. No one is to be expected to pay your respec cost however. Anyone who wants to help out can, NO BEGGING THO!!!

P.S. To all the people looking at this NOW(recent change), could u post your spec, and the spec you would be if i decided to use the idea from answer 1?

I prefer #1. Didn't like going resto but knew it was pretty much a must for raids. Don't think you should boot those who decide not to be resto though, but I do think resto shams should get priority over healing gear.

asking me to respec to healing is like asking any non healer to to make a healing class and run him to lvl 60...i didnt make a shaman to heal i made a shaman cause it was closest class to what i wanted.. if ppl are going to complain that there arent enough healers.. than maybe they should make 1, i have been working on a preist for the guild myself. but this is all on my app

When I ran with Malevolence when I was in Righteous Fury I respec'ed to better the raid. I gave up PvP, farming and any other thing that included hitting things. Later after the break-up of Righteous Fury I was guildless and able to run with Malevolence till recently I was forced to join because of a few shamans complaining I was getting loot and not in the guild. You know who you are and I feel you are quite greedy for that. I find that healing is all we shamans should do in a raid but after I heard of the weapon Nightfall and how windfury would help with applying the proc I think we should have two enhancement shamans with these that will go in the non-magic users' groups when in a raid because even if we had mana tide it has no use in a non-magic user group. For those who don't know Nightfall has a chance on hit to increase spell damage by 15% vs that target for 5 seconds. Makes a huge difference with spell damage on raid bosses. Materials for one of these costs around 1000g well worth the price though. I may sound greedy for wanting to be enhancement but I have been saving up for one of these for 3 months so far and this is when I was in Righteous Fury. Right now as enhancement I can not roll on Tier 1,2 or 3 because of being enhancement and I really don't care. The Nightfall is something we shall be using even up to Naxx because of the help it brings to the raid and I would like to see these in use in the raid. My spec is 7/31/12 before joining the guild I was 0/20/31. I still expect to be asked to heal on raids and still bring along mana potions. I take progression in end-game over getting more gear and hope this is resolved soon.

i should be the 2nd enhancement shammy since im pretty sure noone in this guild has better enhancement spec gear than me and i dpsed my ass to 60.. never healed in instances except for endgames so i know how to dps well. my current spec is 19/32/0 for max dmg/crit.

link to my spec: www.wowhead.com/?talent=uE0zx0hZxVbdVMut

btw i took those two earthfury the other day all because i was pretty sure taurinus wouldnt let me dps in malevolence's raid so i needed better healing gear. if i knew i could dps, i wouldnt have took those so sry to all resto shammies out there and ty for ur comprehension.

im also working on getting a new weapon: drake talon cleaver or herald of woe. since tdrules wants nightfall, i dont think a second one is necessary. i also wanna get two deathbringers before the release of bc, or even, one deathbringer and one crol'shoruk
gogo dual wield!

if u dont consider my request i will gquit and find a new home within a more comprehensive guild. i will also gquit if theres one more person complaining about me taking those 2 earthfury pieces. i just explained myself.

(make all rogues respec to bandage mastery)



Thank you,
ODIAN.

i voted 1

when i joined the guild i was ele/enchance i repseced full resto for the guild i really perfer my other spec because its easier to level with it just seams shamans kinda get crapped on gear wise we cant roll on any dps gear and are limited on most healing pieces

In light of seeing how everyone is spec'd i voted #1. Simply because we've goten this far without everyone being spec'd mana tide. However i dont want to see every shaman going DPS or suicide spec, and i would say that right now pre-expac and where we are in terms of gear and raid progression, we are going to need as many mana tides as we can get.

Now after the expac comes out maybe (and hopfuly) things will change and your spec really wont matter/each talent tree spec will be sought after in raids.

Right now i'm 0/11/40 however after the expac comes out i'm thinking (and have been for a while) of going elemental for ToW, and i've talked briefly with taurn about our guild wanting at least 2 dedicated raiding shaman go elemental for ToW. But i'm still thinking about it, and the improved chain heal and earth shield in the resto tree have sparked my interest also.

Oh, and on a last note: all of you that are not resto, dont forget to keep an eye on the health bars and spot heal if you see someone going down.
