Question for Shaman Gear

[Fireblade7]

That's a great idea! Maybe I'll get lucky in both epic (if and when i join a guild) and torpor. But for now, just going to focus on the levels. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Fireblade would be a good Paladin name.

I think JBB is the right way to go.

I paused leveling my shammie, at 54 (zzZZz level) and had him kitted with fungi, haste, epic and jbb. Root rotting is tedious without lvl 56 root, after that it's probably better, especially if you have fungi and can canni more.

I felt like with the gear I got better XP facetanking (sometimes alternating between me and pet during fights) and jbb-spamming after epic-dotting and slowing the mob. The plan would've worked fine without the epic too.

At some point I'll get back to the shammy. Never bothered with fungi staff because I never felt the mana for the buff was an issue and that the hassle memming the spell was equivalent pain to the movement debuff of the staff. If I didn't have fungi I'd probably want a fungi staff tough to save that mana buffing.

Torpor is not 100k. If u wanna spend that much, I'll sell you mine. I'm not 60 yet, half a lvl to go...

Yeah Torpor is like 45-60k now I think. Epic is still like 75k or more last I checked on blue.

Congrats on being so close to 60! Torpor is a game changer.

Wow, things have really changed: I paid something like 100k for my Torpor back in the day, but I got my epic for ... well I got the tear for just 10k, and then got random server people to help me with the fight ... but even the tear with a raid force was only selling for like 50k back then.

I'm kind of surprised the tear is so expensive, especially on Blue. There must be an army of alt Shaman being created, or else some guild is monopolizing the Fear golems and raising prices.

Yeah prices have changed a lot. I bought Torpor for 80k I think, and tear for 75k years ago from a guildie before Green came out, right before the price jumped. Tear was like 120k with the final fight for years, even during Green. Tear prices finally started coming down again recently, 75k is pretty cheap compared to what it was.

Tears are just rarer with the Fear revamp. Sounds like you got your tear before the Fear revamp based on the price and date. Often times the tears go to guildies for DKP, so extra rarity + less market availability drives the price up. They also added a raid rule a few years ago that requires you to leave Fear and re-enter it whenever a raid target spawns. This basically killed the Fear farm crews. Now only Hate is still viable for farm crews doing things like Earth Staff.

[Fireblade7]

Yeah. I’m lucky in the fact that I can basically trade my fungi for torpor at 60. Maybe a little extra plat on top. More glad I bought jbb instead lol.

[Toxigen]

Fungi for torpor is a good trade for sure. If you don't raid you still may be able to negotiate Vindi BP loot rights.

[Snaggles]

Or just get a thurg chain bp. More mana and a free click buff.
