Ogre Shaman Gear
 

Hi I'm a 15 shaman with a 7k budget. What gear should I be buying? Thanks

Granite Face Grinder
2x Platinum Fire Wedding Rings
Full set of Large Banded Armor
Black Sapphire Platinum Necklace
2 x Black Sapphire Electrum Earrings

Buy the earrings last in case you run tight on cash.

That is the inventory of a great lvl 15 Ogre shaman.

I'd suggest a poisoned wind censor tho over gfg as iirc it's a few k cheaper and really not that much worse. Can opt to maybe get a back/belt with leftover plat.

True, with the money you could save from buying a Poison Wind Censer you could afford a haste item like Silver Chitin Hand Wraps and do more damage than the GFG without haste.

Assuming you're going to be soloing, that list sounds good to me.

If you'll be grouping, I'd get more ac or mana gear so you can deal with aggro from slows (either tanking or rooting, respectively) and not worry about haste and a melee weapon. CGS is like 250p or less. That's a great shield for a grouping shaman.

Oh man yes excellent.

About grouping, this build is good for that too, hp/mana is good and 15-35 you'll be best melee dps backup. P much as good as a hybrid dps but with bonus shaman spells :)

Usually in my groups I'm the crowd control, slower, buffer, healer, etc. so I rarely melee enough to worry about gearing for melee. YMMV of course. :)

Ya both are fun ways but melee shm in mistmoore is a riot.

Save/invest most your money and work towards an iksar regen breastplate. Investing 1k in some basic gear (5/55 rings, cheap wisdom gear, banded) is advised, otherwise save your money for the upgrades that really matter. Your available spell casting power is directly impacted by your health regen potential starting the minute you get your first canni spell.

-Spend about 1k and save 6.
-Go hunt.
-When you get to the point you can make sow potions, use your cash to buy potion reagents and make 10 dose sow pots during your downtime. Even at low levels I'd generally walk away from a 2 hour xp session with several hundred to a thousand play in my pocket. For each 1k in potions sold, 350 of that was profit return on investment. There are a lot of rich twinks out there who will happily drop a few hundred plat on sow potions.

You'll end off better in the long run.

So I have PWC, HP rings, Full Banded, and Silver Chitin Hand Wraps now. Still have about 5k. Should I sell the hand wraps and buy a Iksar Regen BP? Are the hand wraps not really as beneficial as the Regen BP? Thanks.
