> Oddly, yesterday I exterminated my level 7 Tauren Shaman and recreated him as an Orc Shaman. Then I read this thread and saw the discussion of Tauren size frustration, as well as **Pleonast** ’s helpful posts about Shamans. I must be plugged into the gestalt.

> I am exploring and loving hybrid toons, and really appreciate all the tips that **Pleonast** gave. And yes, I’m interested in seeing a screenshot of your UI. One of my biggest problems as a hunter is the enormous number of shots and spells (pet’s and mine), so many that I cannot place them all in useful places on the screen. Being intensely visual, I need to know their place in space, rather than the path through a menu, as in that circular addon.

My detailed Shaman posts were in part due to the fact that I didn’t have time in game to help you once I invited your new alt into the guild. So your new Shaman helped create the discussion. 😃

I’ll admit that the some people will be faster with a key a push and click, but for my UI needs that’s much harder than finding an icon already on the screen. Sounds like what you like too. I’ll post an annotated screenshot tonight.

I once had an extreme case of altitus, especially in CoH, but I’ve eventually gotten over it. I have no advice except keep trying classes until you find the one you really like. With dual specs coming out, I’ll be able to adjust my Shaman’s role to whatever I’m in the mood for (except tanking, which I’ve never liked anyway).
