shaman template

[hanza]

About CB: Overrated 20% buff bonus is enough for me. If it isn't enough for you, use other guy's template. About immo rings, well cheapest immo rings atm in housing were like 30p. If you really love the class (in this case shamy) and want to give the best template for it - its not really a great obstacle to cross - to get enough plats to buy those rings (if you don't got a summon sm to self farm it), here some guys pay 300p for items to their template ; 2 x 30p << 300p

About swapping stardrop to eoy, well it isn't bothering thing for me to swap. If you really find it awkward thing to do, see above

CB overrated ? well i guess this can be discussed. i see the CB as a "free purge charge" (vs mezz or stun) then utility of purge can be discusse for shamy. i personnaly like it. i ll go for purge 3 asap and if there was a purge 5 i d probably go for it

Cb saved my ass many time while running away or beeing jumped by a group eventho the stats are not ubber the /use worth it.

20% buff bonus i could leave with (make a two dext point difference with 25%) not much but i really take dext as the key point for shamy and would not drop a single point. i got atm 360 wich sounds reasonable to me ... but unfortunatly not enough !!

imo ring ... well a bit topic... dare i say it ? .... yes i dont like the item ... and i would not spend 30p on it (not because i dont have the cash) but giving +4 dext cap even if u have two of them i d rather find a nice rog with +10/12 dext cap only takes one slot and gives u more cap. resists are not much of an issue i recon if u dont care about spell crafting some part ( and even with the template i came up with i managed to have pretty high reists with only rogs and 1 crafted part). same comment as before for the+15 dext and pie.

if i had to put 30p on a ring i d rather invest in a zhaur ring... but then its all question of taste. (please dont flame me )

last point fully agree with cozak. EoY doesn t have really good stats only considering it in template for /use2 beeing a swapable item makes it worthless (at last for my play style).

Yes but how often you really need eoy? Sure its nice item due its ability to resurrect multiple persons in small area, but I wouldn't design a template where you have it reserving the jewel slot. Buff ppl up, swap item to eoy depending on the situation what you are about to do (whetever if its rvr or pve, and the likelihood of being wiped).

Thats tho my personal opinion, and I will not comment on that any further..

its not about it rezzing multiple ppl that make it so viable for a shaman, its firstly that its a 0% power usage on it, rez cost alot of power and shamans dont go for 45%-65% pp temps like healers, also its instant, no casting time required, and if you have a "1-click macro" for it its just as insta as PR, just with rez illness. the ae effect is just a bonus, and also good in pve, towers, bridges or when the LoS if fucked up for some reason (yes it happends, someplaces have realy bugged terain, thnx mythic ;P )
