Shaman wearing Druid gear?

[blondeattk]

canni is 24.

bet you been playing for 20 lvls like a dru too? have you actually tanked anything yet.....

yes you need to achieve a bal between ac/hps/wis......plenty threads on this or chk wiki page ofr shaman.

ears/ring slots you can afford to lose ac for wis. belts/neck there are 2 shm only items that are cheap ish......ivory imb collar, and flayed turmoils skin belt.

imo dont rush to hoover up totemic/jbone armour...neither have great stats. Its the fashoin victimistas who are after the plate look, that grab them. The tot helm is the best item but also the most costly/time sink quest.

Id go with treeweave for bp, for high ac.
Not much choice in legs tbh, pre velious......totemic is an option here. tip- rygorr ftw)

Personally i went with the rule, if a slot was less than ac 8, then fall bakc on banded for it. Ive always played shm as melee till 25.(obviously using slow/dot/nuke in the mix)
After which you tend to get sucked into grps as apatch healer/slower/buffer.

30-34 is a frustrating time....hard to solo effectively. hhk guards are an option if you can stand the faction issues!

34+ is a joy!! dont forget to keep your conjuration up )
