While this is true to an extent, i hope you respond to my last post. Because i really do think you are doing a disservice to OP by suggesting 25sta.

Well for one thing I was sort of hoping you'd post some numbers about Sebilite Protector. I did a lot of work to show how HP > mana, and you responded with "well you have to root" without any further explanation of why you'd burn through mana before HP.

Meanwhile, you've provided exactly one example of a camp a non-raid shaman would do that might be better with mana over HP ... whereas most 60 Shaman fights (for gear few other classes can get ... I'm not talking about farming HQ ore in Permafrost obviously) involve slowing a mob and beating it down over time.

And in all those fights (Crypt, WW dragons, PoM A4, etc.) the hard part is living long enough to land slow. So no, I still don't see how 25 Stamina is a disservice.

I feel you are either not understanding or not reading my posts. I have already said it does not come down to a choice between mana and hp, but rather a choice between varying levels of flexibility and ultimately higher min max potential at whatever level of gear you find yourself.

The point i was driving home was that by selecting wisdom you can have more mana and hp than a person who selects stamina.

As far as prot, i can coth you down if you’d like to see for yourself. You’ll find my estimation accurate.

No, you can have more mana ... and less HP.

Seriously, this is basic stuff: if you put more starting points into Stamina, you wind up with more HP than if you put them into Wisdom.
