I do agree stamina is the easier of the two for a shaman to cap out if he wants to cap something, but a player who doesn't want to do high-end raids is more or less going to have to pick how far he cares to go with either and prioritize.

You don't need to hang out in ToV to cap your STA. You can buy a Vindi BP, for example. A lot of my ToV gear doesn't even have STA, and I am capped.

She'd be capped if she was an ogre, or even if she had gone heavy stamina at creation; as it is she's close enough and this game is very much a case of "good enough" being actually good enough. There's only so much content to do and about none of it actually requires fully min-maxed stuff. That's more of a hobbyist pursuit, but such a point was also outside the original poster's question range. That we agree that a wis focus is generally preferable for most shaman players, although we come from opposite directions, should probably illustrate that it is indeed a pretty safe bet for most folks, even if there's different ways to do it should some individual want to do so.

When I was asking around awhile back nobody would sell a vindicator chestplate for any price. Stuff like that ebbs and flows with time.
