Hello!
Recently started playing on Nostalrius and I'm having a blast experiencing all this nostalgia again. I'm really excited to start an enhancement shaman now but I heard something about enchantment not working properly on this server, is that true? I first saw some people discussing it in-game saying that windfury and some totems are glitched, but the game world crashed before I had the chance to ask them, so maybe someone here knows what they were talking about.
I really really wanna make an enhancement shaman and get some 2h WF action going, I don't care if it's not the best but I had so much fun back in the days doing so, but if something is wrong with WF I'll just skip that for now and stick to my warlock.
Enhancement shaman bugs?

Re: Enhancement shaman bugs?
Hey!
I've a lvl 60 shaman on ED and have been leveling a shaman here who's now lvl 38. To answer your question, I have not noticed any major bugs so far. It's grounding totem that works kind of unpredictable at times, but I think it's just hard to script that totem for most private servers. As for windfury, it seems to work fine. Where as on ED the windfury proc would often only do 1 damage on targets higher level than yourself, on Nostalrius you can enjoy the full benefit of this one-shotting madness proc vs any target.

Thanks for the response! I'm only level 10 now and the only bug ive found is that rockbiter sometimes procs flametounge which is a bit weird. The issue I read about was that windfury sometimes doesn't proc properly and that it doesn't add the extra attack power (read here viewtopic.php?f=42&t=3850) but that was a while ago, i havent seen windfury in any of the patch notes so far but if you say it's working like it should I'm really glad

Re: Enhancement shaman bugs?
The "bugs" that I have noticed so far are fairly limited.
1.) Sentry Totem (not that it's largely used) - after walking away from it a ways, the buff disappeared when I right clicked it (to swap vision) and instead acted like the totem had despawned. However, when I got a bit further away (still well within the 5m time period), the vision swapped randomly back to the Sentry Totem. The only way to release vision from it was to relog.
2.) Perhaps more of a problem, Stoneclaw Totem is VERY hit or miss on Nostalrius. A lot of mobs tend to blatantly ignore it. I'm not sure if this is a bug, or simply a thing regarding how threat is handled, but once something else has the aggro, if they have any threat on the mob at all, Stoneclaw Totem will simply not work on many mobs. Others, even without any threat (confirmed with KTM Threat meter) it will still ignore the taunt mechanic from it.
Other times, however, it works as intended.
3.) Rockbiter Weapon tends to randomly proc the Flametongue Weapon damage, even long before the Shaman has accessto the Flametongue Weapon spell.
4.) Water Walking - If you shapeshift into Ghost Wolf form, the buff remains but the effects of the buff are cancelled. You retain the icon, yet regardless of shifting in or out of the form, you will not receive the benefits of Water Walking unless you recast the spell.
These are just things I have personally noticed. Still, for all of the time I've played (currently level 34) I haven't seen any issues with Windfury, and the Windfury Totem (and Flametongue Totem) both grant their benefits to the party as intended (without overwriting your own personal weapon enhancement, and without giving both benefits at the same time to said party members.)

I think Stoneclaw's taunt had a chance to be resisted, without actually passing the "Resisted" text message even on Official.
....I recall dying a lot. Damn you Stoneclaw! You had one job [to keep them occupied while I cast Healing Wave]!
