I just wanted to point out that somebody asked DSM to take off all his clothes in a thread.

Lol.

Question to Loramin actually here- My Magelo shows my max HP unbuffed at 2068, yet its 2148 in-game. I checked my gear and stats over and over but can't figure out where the discrepancy is. Do you, Master of the Wiki (tm) have any idea why? Help would be appreciated!

The Magelo calculations have always been a bit off. For HP and Mana I am sure the formula could be tweaked to be closer, although I am not sure how easy it would be. For AC I am not sure if it is possible, since the value displayed in-game is wrong anyway I believe. I guess they could just adjust the Magelo formula to match the wrong value in the UI.

So I guess the operative question would be which gear is easier to get within the listed restrictions of being an endgame-non-raid-shaman? STA or WIS? Whatever the answer to that is, seems like OP would want to pick the opposite, no?

Correct. STA is generally easier to cap with Velious Era gear, even if it isn't raid gear. For example, Othmir Prexus Totem gives you +20 STA, and you can buy it in EC. You also need to take into account that Shamans can buff their STA by an additional 50 via Riotous Health. You can only buff WIS by 10 via Bear Form. So that is +70 STA just from 1 item and 1 buff.

Just did my first AoE'ing WW dragon solo today, Hachaeva. While I'm more raid geared than the theorycrafting we are doing on this post, I definitely went from full mana bar to almost zero during the encounter. And I'm built for mana slightly more than HP.

Grats! Yeah WW Dragons can drain you of mana if you get unlucky resists and whatnot. The trick to using as little mana as possible is clickies and minimizing spell usage. I don't use Bane of Nife, for example. I just use Pox, Epic, and sometimes JBB. I also use my pet (unhasted) to basically act as another DoT. He does enough damage to basically stop a WW Dragon's regeneration.
