Healer/Shaman ToA template - Quest-based, No artifacts, No drops, 99%

[Pogel]

I put this together as an easy and cheap to get suit that will give good overall utility. All items are questable by a Healer (some are soloable - I've marked the ones I've soloed). This should suit anyone (like me) that doesn't have the time/patience to level artifacts or farm for drops. Even if you do it might be good to have a suit that you can use until you've got them all levelled. You will need neutral Mau faction to get some of these quests.

This might also suit a Shaman, though it has no +Skill items. You could always switch the +power on the legs for +3 skill.

[Brunore]

Not bad, but i think all the cast/buff/heal/etc bonuses get nerfed to 10% next patch

Cast speed does get capped at 10%, but heal, buff, duration and power are still capped at 25%. This template was designed around the 1.68 patch and the changed stats and caps, so should be good to go.

 

[Jaem-]

looks good, maybe needs alil tweaking to get more +mend imo, help with the varience some

 

[Pogel]

+Mend is arguably useful for a Shaman, but not really that useful for a Healer, especially compared to most of the ToA bonuses. +11 Mend works out at about +10% healing effectiveness on baseline heals only. I genuinely don't think any tweaking will help given the constraints of quest-only 99%.

There will be better suits out there that use max levelled artifacts, high ML mob drops, etc. but that wasn't the point of this template.

Us casuals appreciate the idea

 

[Sarnat]

VERY good template IMO since it has no MPs, no artifacts or other hard to get stuff.

 

[Blood]

very nice template.

would be nice if you could include the procs for the quest pieces, and /use /use2 effects if they have any

 

[lator]

very nice template.

would be nice if you could include the procs for the quest pieces, and /use /use2 effects if they have any

That's the main problem of this template: no procs

 

[Zapsi]

Takes hell of a farming to cap this with artifacts and some nice drops otw.
I just want range cap also damm hard to get, best i got was 8 range and using 8 artifacts and 5 drops so zzzzz of time.

 

[Pogel]

Yeah, for some reason quest pieces don't sem to have procs or charges (unlike drops). No artifacts, so no /use /use2.

For those considering adapting it the best pieces to replaces are probably the Hauberk - it has OK bonuses but they're not fantastic and you want a reactive on your chest if at all possible; and the rings, which aren't great.

 

[Animus]

Thought some might still be interested in this, so /bump

 

[Bogrot]

Any idea if TG shaman chest and leg drops are any use now? or has TOA bonuses removed the usefullness of these items?

I have both and was trying to find a way to get them in my template. Im not at home right now but ill post the stats of them later

the chest can surely be used, i assume (dont know stats) because the heal proc is still so nifty... 225 heal, affected by power relics and heal bonus should get it up on 250+? and i like the epic shaman look, go for it if you can fit it in tbh ;-D
