Ancient’s Hammer

NCP is proud to welcome back the much loved WoW Yoda – with an Enhancement Shaman spec that will sledge your enemy into the ground!

This is once again an open ended spec because there are so many options of what you, yes you, want to do with those left over 6 points.  However, before I get ahead of myself, let’s build the ground work for this spec before we get to those juicy extra points.

The Enhancement Shaman is first and foremost a melee combatant… or so they say! Even though you may be melee, you have no, “charge” skill to get into combat fast and start wailing on your enemy.  Instead you have the better option of bringing them to you, in a not so quick method as the Death Knight, but far more punishing. The reason why I say this, is because you can set down a Searing Totem and Flame Shock the enemy, which will start your Searing Flames DoT effect and also get you ready for a delightful Lava Lash due to the Improved Lava Lash talent. If you can, try to avoid lava lashing until you have the full 5 stacks. Also, while the enemy is walking/running to you, feel free to set down an Earthbond Totem to hopefully slow them to a crawl while they try to get to you, and then finally give them some Lightning Bolts until they finally make it to you. This is where the magic really happens!

Hi Guys

Sorry about the lack of posts but the flu has infected the NCP household and has sucked the will to live from all of us.

We’ll be back to our regular programming as soon as we can.

Some YouTube videos I like

Posted by David On July 11, 2012 ADD COMMENTS

Hi Guys

I’m not the biggest fan of YouTube. Not because of the concept, that’s great, but mainly because I don’t have a lot of time spare to browse the many great videos on there and it makes me sad.

But fan of the show, Colty, was nice enough to bring a certain video to my attention that had me laughing like a loon and I have to share it with you all. So thanks so much Colty and also curse you, because thanks to you I spent a large chunk of last Sunday browsing YouTube 🙂

First up is the vid Colty recommended to me – ‘The Star Wars That I Used To Know‘ – Gotye ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ Parody by teddiefilms (check ’em out they’re very talented)

The next vid is one I stumbled across while browsing – the classic Weird Al Yankovic song – ‘The Saga Begins’

And finally the quite clever and sweet ‘Darth Vader in Love‘ from the Peter Serafinowicz Show

Enjoy!
