shm rain spells

The only use I ever found for rain spells is in groups when you have a tank with solid agro and you want some quick dps. Much more efficient than nukes.

I second this. I have used the poison rains to reasonable effect in dungeon groups with a good tank and single pulls. In fact, I was surprised that shamans even had this line of spells because I never saw them being used back on live so many years ago.

They are worth it most of the time over the other shaman nukes in this situation.

Yeah but if have a Warrior for a Tank you are probably going to take it in the face doing that on a Shaman. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you have a Warrior as a tank, odds are you're already being hit anyway.

As for the rain spells....I can't recollect my wife ever using them in several years of playing her Shaman.

I know there are issues with Mage rain spells.... Missing a tick and being resisted...

Do you see the same issues with Shaman rain spells?

It seems like poison is less resisted than some of the other damage types. I'm sure it's mob-specific but I think overall the waves land more often.

Had a wizard doing that with my ranger tanking last night. Was really impressed with the damage / efficiency.
