Shaman DPS is INSANE in WoW Forever
45sThe clip showcases a Shaman dealing massive damage, sparking debates about class balance and spec viability.
▶ Play Clip"The title promises a 'First Look' at a new dungeon, but the video is mostly casual banter and gameplay, with little structured information about the dungeon itself."
This video is a live gameplay session of a group of players exploring a new level 40 dungeon in the WoW Forever private server. The players discuss class balance, particularly the strength of Shamans and the viability of a hybrid Fire/Frost Mage build, while navigating through the dungeon and attempting to defeat a level 45 shark boss.
The group forms and prepares to enter the dungeon, with some banter about class choices and readiness.
Players discuss the Bloodthirsty talent, noting that relying on it too much is problematic in the original game, but it could make enhancements more viable.
The player tries a hybrid Fire/Frost Mage build, combining Fire talent bonuses with Frost's Ice Shards, and finds it fun and effective.
Explains the new Hot Streak: instead of two consecutive crits, it's a stacking buff that reduces Pyroblast cast time three times, mitigating bad luck.
The group is amazed by the Shaman's damage output, calling it 'insane' and noting that Mages need buffs to compete.
A player notes that Shamans become incredibly strong around level 40, marking a turning point for the class.
Players appreciate the damage meter interface, noting it's visually appealing and helps track performance.
The group spots a rare level 45 shark and decides to attempt killing it, despite the level difference.
A player uses a racial passive (like levitation) to navigate, and the group encounters an extremely rare mob that hasn't been killed before.
The group engages the shark boss but wipes due to the level difference and lack of gear, leading to a discussion about needing more equipment and skills.
The group devises a strategy to pull the shark to the stairs to avoid its water advantage, but the attempt fails again.
The group decides to move on, claiming a 'guaranteed victory' and expressing a desire to play more, with one player noting they need more time.
The video showcases a fun but challenging dungeon run, highlighting class balance issues and the excitement of exploring new content. The group ultimately succeeds in completing the dungeon, despite failing to defeat the optional shark boss.

16:55[00:00] I'm playing fire this time. I'm gonna set that fire. Ohhhhh. What the heck? There we go. Get the glass block. Yeah dude. Wait, Guzu, where are you? Yeah, I'm right here. Wait, do me. Do me.
[00:12] Alright. I'm doing it on my own. I think he's a little scared man. Go easy. Oh! Holy shit!
[00:24] Holy shit! Yes, I'm doing it. I'm always winning, I will never not win. Oh he's a druid. It might surprise me.
[00:39] That was a long time ago. I can't do that fast though. I got a cancer to catch up. I'm trying to beat the tab here. Dude look at the spin though. It's so funny.
[00:54] Hey hold on, I got bloodlust, where's the... there. Ooooooh. Oh no. What the hell was that? Huh.
[01:06] Yeah. Nice. Ah, that's a... Can you, uh... Wait a minute. This thing is crazy. I mean, I think it's good to have a whole wave-wide,
[01:20] I mean, it can definitely make an Uncensored Shaman possible viable, which I think it definitely will be looking at these talents. I think the Uncensored will do very well with this talent.
[01:33] Alright guys, we talk to this guy and hit I'm ready and then we descend it. Because I'm going to need to go to the ground. Ground city baby. I'm going to need Randy's help. Okay, this place is actually hard so we need to lock in. Okay.
[01:45] Okay. I don't know, man.
[01:58] I don't know. I don't know what these... Crazy. I mean, we can just do the whole thing if you want. I'd love to. Let's just start. Hey, so we're doing a...
[02:11] Are we getting to the dungeon? How are we doing the dungeon? Okay, so last dungeon I played Frost. Frost felt really good. It feels very similar to TBT Frost. You have Ice Lands. Oh, cool, thank you. Yeah, we have Ice Lands, which is nice.
[02:24] Damage felt good, control felt good. It felt what you would expect. This dungeon I'm actually trying Fire, and I didn't actually realize that Maces have Frost Firebolt. So you can double dip the Fire talent tree with the Frost talent tree, similar how you would do in like
[02:39] Wrath or Kata, which is really, really, really, really fun if anyone's done that. In other words, you can, like, try to get all of the fire bonus damage from the fire tree and ice shards and stuff from the frost tree.
[02:52] So I'm really excited to try this dungeon to check that out. And, yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun. Okay, so for people that haven't seen the new hot streak, instead of just two crits in a row, it's a stacking buff that reduces the cast time of pyro three times in a row.
[03:07] So it's kind of like bad luck protection. in the sense that if you get two, if you get one crit, and then you don't get a crit, and then you get another crit, and then you don't get a crit, you'll eventually get that instant pyro, which hopefully will smooth out the feeling of the orange-y hot streak.
[03:23] So it's pretty nice. I actually haven't played with it yet, so I don't know fully what I feel, but it seems kind of cool. It seems like it won't feel as bad to not get a crit. All right, all right, pulling, pulling. Are you guys ready? Pulling? I'm getting ready. Oh! I killed a cap?
[03:35] Ooooooh! Oh, who's on top of the tank? Sorry. I, I... I see you did 42 damage one time. I'm gonna rip an eye open for an 8-star. I see you start pulling. I'm pulling, I'm pulling. I got the right on trigger.
[03:47] What are you doing? What are you doing? What do you mean you're pulling? I, I, I'm pulling. I'm about to press on my stuff. You should... Ooooooh! Yeah, you're fucking cheesy. Fuck yeah! Come on! Oh! Oh!
[03:59] Damn! Dude, you're with a 22 DPS, 32 DPS, on top of the turret right now. Guys, guys, guys, something. I'm here to introduce you guys all started. I would intentionally introduce you guys to the real interview. I don't know what happened.
[04:12] Someone must have pulled, like, a little early. Yeah. We need to lock in and work at the table here. Oh, my God. Look at those. Those big legs. You do so much damage. That's crazy. Whoa, whoa. This is shaman.
[04:24] Dude. Shaman damage is kind of crazy. What the hell is going on? I'm not just going to have sex. I got a one-hand. Let's just go. All right. You got it. Who's my... who's who?
[04:36] Dude, it is DRUG! Yeah, my spec's not feeling as strong. Yeah, maybe he may just need some buffs, is what I'm seeing. Oh. Yeah, buff made. I'm not waiting anymore.
[04:48] Do we have any more buffs, or no? I just need one. I guess you did. I'm playing familiar here, lads. Okay, alright. Alright, I'm DTSing too.
[05:00] I'm gonna get some Big windchuris. Oh wait, do you want windchuris on him? Windchuris? Yeah, I can give you windchuris on him. Wait, Tom's actually doing damage for once. Yeah, keep it up, whatever you're doing. This is good. I'm pumping too.
[05:14] I'm doing zero damage this dungeon, so... I should've went fury. I should've went fury. There we go, now we're cooking. Oh yeah. Absolute juice.
[05:26] Tom, get the hang of it. Yo, uh, can I have the food? Uh, yeah, no, I don't have any on me.
[05:38] Okay, no worries. You actually need some water? Oh no you fine I have a bunch of shit I could double I go the 33 I did not need it Oh my gosh man So what does this thing do I don know I like that
[05:57] Don't be dying on me, Annie. That's the worst thing I got ever. How do you respec in this? Yeah, my theory track is... Yeah, my spec is not working, guys. I need to respec.
[06:11] I was trying something, it's not working. I might need to get some help from an admin to get any other spec, man. Yeah, this is not good.
[06:24] Do not heal him. Do not heal him. That's crazy. You are person right now. That's pretty impressive. You actually are doing huge damage. That's wild. Yeah, I am doing nothing.
[06:38] I made up a build it's not working so I'm like half fire half rust We need to figure out how to reset this is awful
[06:58] Drink your shit. That gives you more XP and healing power. Oh, yeah, sure, sure, sure. Good point, good point. I'm asking for respect, but you're not getting favorited. Oh, this is crazy, man.
[07:10] That was your bad respect you made by yourself, buddy. Okay, I'm going to be like, no damage, then. This is brutal. Come on, we've got to truck man up on some stuff. We're chilling. Let's go, let's go. Oh, that's Phil, sir.

[07:58] Yeah. Hi! Sorry, I have a fireball here. Yeah, I'm going to start live-slapping, but don't panic. Yeah, yeah, I got it. I have no aggro.
[08:10] Can I have a go at doing something? Oh! Nevermind, I do have aggro. I got your aggro, don't worry about it. What is going on with these fireballs? I'm doing nothing here.
[08:22] Dude, I'm liking Shaman. I'm liking Shaman. You're doing so much damage but no aggro. He's doing so much damage but he's not getting aggro.
[08:39] I think that's one thing I get aggro. Tyler's looking popping the fuck off.
[08:51] Fuck off. Only thing is I'm going Ooma a lot though. That makes sense. I will say this, I feel like Shaman's breakpoint is like right around level 40.
[09:05] Yeah. That's where they can really throw him. Yeah. Alright. Big juicy heal. Guys, don't look at your YSRs.
[09:19] Oh my god. Do not look at the meter, man. It's pretty embarrassing. Are you playing the game right now, by the way? Yeah. He's healing. He's healing his life.
[09:31] That was the boss, right? Yeah, it's the boss, yep. Hell yeah. I will destroy you guys on the meter, by the way. Just a warning. Is there any more buffs?
[09:43] Can I have Arcane? Dude, we're in there. They're like somewhere. I had no count count or anything so my damage is going to be pretty bad here.
[09:56] I'm spinning, I'm spinning. I don't think I want to spin on this guy. Dude you're doing 108 DPS, that's fucking insane. That is crazy. So strong. Nature's Swiftness.

[10:22] That obviously. I like the damage meter actually, it's really nice. So much damage bro. Oh the visuals. I mean I also like it on the top but like you know. Yeah the damage meter does have a nice UI. Yeah it looks good.
[10:35] This is my character access badgey thingy. It's like another weapon. Oh dude. Oh dude. This looks really cool. Whoa.
[10:48] Yeah. Dude, look at the shark. I see it. Oh, my God. I see it, yeah. Is there a water fight? I don't know if we should take that guy on. He looks pretty serious. Oh, my God. Our tank fell.

[11:54] Yeah, I'll get around to it. Hold on, hold on, hold on. I got a drink, bro. I see that you're good. You're fine. You're gonna get a whole lot of everybody. I'm spinning. I'm spinning. I'm chaotic.

[12:19] I didn't buff you actually, but everyone else has a buff. Oh thank you. What are we so salty for? We're on the same team. You're a warrior. You don't need arcane intellect, man. I was just saving my mana. Wait, that's some hit power thoughts. Wait, that's a hip-fire thought.
[12:32] Uh, not really. You get, like, weapon skill. Oh. Where are we? Can we go drop down to the shark? Uh, that shark is level 45, by the way. We can try.
[12:44] I mean, we can have fish. All right, we're not dropping down. We need these guys up here. I don't know if we can kill the shark. Oh, maybe I can make a... Oh, shoot, I can do this.

[13:33] Taking anchor, taking anchor. Eh? Where the fuck are you, though? I'm right above you, man. Oh, okay, got it. Yeah, I'm just chillin' up here.
[13:45] He's bottom front, he says, Wait, wait, I'm taking a run. I was not expecting that to happen. So, my passive thing, like, race pass... I think the only fast racial passive is like walk on air.
[14:00] Like levitate. I click it and I slew it to that mob. We have another mob up here. Oh yeah. He'll come around. Yeah, super rare.
[14:12] No one's ever killed us before I don't think. Oh my god. There we go. That's awesome. Damn it. I'm really enjoying the hunting, Shaman.
[14:26] Loot, loot, loot, loot. No loot? No loot, what the fuck is that? Blizzard! That might be a bug. I don't know. Alright, here we go, left or right? Let's keep following the road. Wait a minute. That way you're going down.
[14:38] Alright. We have 10... 10? You want to kill the shark? Kill the shark. Let's clear one more badge and then jump in. We're going shark. We're going shark. Let's kill shark. How about a shark? I'm taking the guy in the back, in the thick.
[14:53] Druid healing is so much more fun than Feral early level. Oh my lord. Hey, we're doing good on full health. Not surprised I kept us alive last night. I think we're doing very well in this dungeon.
[15:06] God, I was in my prime. I was doing so crazy right now. That was a long time ago, Tyler. A long time ago. Two years ago? Oh my god. It is insane how much damage you gain from D&D. Yeah, it's like ridiculous. Enhanced the Shaman seems very strong.
[15:22] Yeah, it's very nice. Yeah. Okay. Okay, I'm gonna run out of mana before we go. Wait, wait, wait, come over here. I wonder if all of the fish are gonna aggro. Oh please.
[15:35] I'm just drinking up here. Well, if we do, as far as I can say, we need to run. But there's still, uh, epic. Oh, that's for the elite, yeah. I think we can jump in, kill a fish or two, and then kill the shark.
[15:47] In the corner, yeah. Wait here. Wait, you wanna kill these bottom fish? Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here. I'm in, I'm in, I'm in.
[15:59] Wait until it's back. Oh, the shark, oh! Just kill these little ones here. Okay, okay, okay. Come on. I'm gonna get the breather, guys.
[16:11] I hate, I hate when they get in the game. Why? I don't know, it's irritating.
[16:23] Okay, these are dead. Make it up here and then the little tickets up. Yep, have a drink. Oh hey, time is literally ticking by the way, we don't have time for this. Wait, I think it's healthy guys. Wait, how do you, how do you, right there.
[16:36] We are in combat. Okay, the shark is going to come around soon, are we going to pull him? We're actually pulling them? Who cares, we got this. Okay. I'm going to tell you. Tank is the world.
