second one looks like better, although i d try to cap slash res getting low matter one ...
i cant give u another advise without seeing artis/drops/sc etc...

anyway its enoughly good

But agree, need to see the items you're using, lots of utility to get from items.

Theres no "real" need to cap slash fully, since chain is slash resistant, 21% is 'enough' in a (toa) template where some resists has to be lowered abit to get more importants stats higher.

Unless it just fit in, you dont really need much +piety cap - only reason i can see is that you want to do more dot damage If its power you need, go for more powerpercentage.

Maybe share your spec and playing style - fg rvr, primarely pve, offensive, defensive etc.

I'd say ALt2 looks splended

 

[Nausilus^^]

ALT 2 looks best of the 3 imo, although power %-age is a little low. Not sure how much that matters to a shammie though.

 

[Diofantos]

I mostly play FG RvR and my primary goal is to interupt casters/CCers and i seldom use a offensive spell like the dot or dd. I choose not to share my artis, drops since that isnt the question but I see a point on you asking for them, ofc I would like to have more power bonus but I have to little knowledge in drops in the game... I think there is so many things that needs to be capped for a good shaman template (and healer)...

 

[Nausilus^^]

Totally agree.. it's very difficult to get enough variety into your template because there are so many items around. I usually end up using the items I know in most of my templates because I'm too lazy to search for new items that I know I can't afford anyway

But at least you can search in housing for items with +power %-age bonus and see what's available and if there's anything that fits into your template.

Imo there's no need to show items either if you don't want to.. Ppl can just tell you what they think needs to be corrected (if anything at all) and then you just have to figure that part out yourself Only thing that could be better if you showed items would be that people might have suggestions for items that would fit better than your current choices. But that's up to you ofc.

 

[Cami]

If you aint gonna share the items you plan on using there aint much we can do

From these 3 i'd go for alternative #2.

 

[Diofantos]

since theese templates uses some rare items i dont want this post to be all about the items, i want it to be a discussion about the template... thats the reason i dont post the entire template with items...

I had the impression that pie doesen't affect damage for seers. Or?

Does a wee bit, something like 6 piety = 1 more dot damage.

For the cave specced it might be a good idea, since one with high piety wont have their dots overwritten by someone with lower piety than yourself.
