Honestly if I had more STR I would have more money. Sometimes I turn down res donations just because I am not gonna hit the bank soon and I don't wanna be encumbered lol.

I actually spent about 1k on purely strength jewelry for my chanter [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] base strength of 60 means i struggle. Now i've got +5str rings, +5str bracers + 7str neck, +7str veil, +3str earrings. I'm like the freakin' incredible hulk now! 130 odd strength with buffs.

Damn. How much you bench brew?

Haha, I remember being an encumbered cleric having to yelp every few seconds just to run at normal speed. Good times.

I knew I should have rolled a dwarf.

25wisdom and 5str . or 25wis and 5sta or agi.
You all do understand that having over 200wisdom is a good thing on this emu?
That wisdom over 200 does not give 1 mana per wis over the softcap like on live.

I can't remember exact numbers. It's around 8mana per wis over 200? 255 is the target wisdom right now, until they fix this.
So the rare item that gives +50mana might be better than a +6wisdom item.
This goes for Intel users too. You are all welcome!


pearl kedge totem should be worth 25k+ imo. plus it's dropping very commonly and shouldn't**


from Hasbinbad's link :
The other thing to consider is that stats aren't working exactly on this emu as classic. Apparently right now int/wis is still giving more mana past the "soft cap" of 200 than it did in classic. While dex may help increase proc rates, it seems that weapons proc more than I remember in classic already. My widdershins staff procs a lot without any direct dex buffs, usually once per fight even on greenies. I do notice it proc more often when I use rage and dexterity though I wouldn't say it was an astronomical difference. Strength definitely makes a noticeable difference, even past 200. My level 50 Ogre shaman hits for a max of 66 when my STR hits the 255 cap. Only hits for about 55 when it's less than 200. Not sure how AGI contributes to ac exactly but I do notice I get a nice boost with AGI buffs.

Personally I'd say it's hard to go wrong with stats in the long run, though in the short run it could effect you. I put 5 points into AGI at creation to reach the 75 soft cap (if I remember anything less than 75 drops your ac) but I don't really know if that works on this server or not"YES it does". I spent the rest on WIS since it's harder to reach 200 wis with a shaman than a druid or cleric. That way I could hit 200 with less items and use the rest of my available slots for hp/mana/ac. It seems now however that even if you go over 200 you aren't really wasting points since it doesn't drop to 1 mana per wis/int. I don't even have 200 wis right now anyways, I've already replaced some items with mana/hp and ditched the wis anyways. Plat tiara is far better than any 5 wis helm even under the cap. Black sapphire earrings clearly better than a 3 wis earring even under the cap, etc.

In the sense of str and cha. Hasbinbad takes into account that you will ALWAYS have a shaman buffing you with +67 to all stats. How many people ALWAYS have a sham buffing them. Maybe if All you do is raid when you play. Plus you gotta keep bugging the sham [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] every hour. When they could be slowing mobs and healing.
