Keep me logged in on this device. Forgot your username or password? Battle rez? He was probably more pissed off with the battle res than preemptively soulstoning him. Sometimes I do soulstone one of them before, but only in very specific situations as I prefer to save the battle res.

In a raid environment is a whole different thing. Proper use of Soulstone? Not any more, unfortunately. I ran into a situation where I soul-stoned a tank, who was unable to use the soulstone because he'd already received a battle-res in that battle. For whatever reason, the game has been changed so that you can be ressed one way or the other, not both. Yes, which is why asakawa says to soulstone the druid so it can res someone else. Post by DraconisAerius I would stress, ensure the person you use your SS on knows about it and knows how to use the res properly.

I have, in level 80 raids, seen people fail to make use of the SS on them and cause the group to fail the encounter pugs are so fail. They're thinking about making it like that, but iirc it's still undecided.

Not sure if anyone said this already, but there is a restriction on in-combat rezzes currently: man: only 1 person can be rezzed either through a SS or Rebirth maybe even a Shaman's Reincarnation, not sure about that one though If you have the ability to resurrect other players, check to see whether they're Soulstoned before you do so.

The "soulstoned" buff will appear if you select their corpse assuming they haven't yet released. The only reason they shouldn't self-resurrect if there's an ally alive and going around resurrecting people is if by using the soulstone they might aggro nearby mobs, as by having an ally cast a resurrect spell on them they will move to that ally's hopefully safe location.

But if they've died in a good location, you only have your mana to lose by casting a rez on them. If you are a shaman that has been soulstoned, and die, take care not to use Reincarnation as you will start its long cooldown, use up an [ Ankh ] , and waste the soulstone. Understand the responsibilities you are giving an ally if you soulstone them. Choose a party member based not only on their class abilities to recover your group from a wipe, but also on their understanding of the guidelines above.

If you soulstone someone who tends to die bad, or who rezzes during combat, consider someone else next time.

Remember that the rest of your group are also depending on you to soulstone the right person. In general, shamans are considered a lesser choice for soulstone after priests and paladins because of their Reincarnation ability. However, using a soulstone will allow the shaman to save the Reincarnation cooldown for another wipe, and if someone else is soulstoned, the shaman generally shouldn't be using Reincarnation anyway. So, the argument that "Reincarnation is doing nothing while not being used, and using it sooner and having the soulstone on someone else just sees to the ability's usefulness and the cooldown coming back faster" is moot.

The shaman's resurrection ability has no cooldown, just like a priest's or paladin's, and a shaman is nearly as viable a choice for the soulstone as anyone. The one reason that the shaman would be considered a slightly lesser choice for it would be if the group wishes to have more than one person capable of self-resurrection in case one of them dies in a bad place. Also remember that, much like paladins, some shamans will be built to be in melee combat, and the chance of a melee character dying in a good place to use a Soulstone is less probable than a ranged character doing the same.

Enhancement shamans will generally be tied with Retribution paladins for the lowest priority rezzers to receive the soulstone buff. Prior to Wotlk , druids were considered the last of the healing classes to soulstone.

This was due to the fact that the only resurrection spell a druid had was Rebirth. While Rebirth is, and remains, the only resurrection spell that can be used in combat, it costs the druid a reagent unless glyphed , and has a long cooldown. With the introduction of Revive , a normal resurrection spell without cooldowns or regeants, this raises the potential for druids to be soulstoned.

Druids remain the only class that can resurrect in or out of combat, as well as tougher armor either by wearing leather, or turning into a form. If one is considering to soulstone between a priest and a druid, the main healer should get a soulstone. Druids could arguably be a wiser class to receive a soulstone, but may not be ideal if a priest or other class is dying frequently.
