Chardok is a good example.

Thanks for mentioning Chardok, sometimes I forget that zone exists. I hardly ever go there. Depth of mana pool is nice any time constant activity means the player doesn't have the time to sit around doing torpor/canni at his leisure. The shaman is defacto a hybrid character and ideally wants just about all statistics. That being said, if a player has to sacrifice something, it's possible to tailor a character to the work being done. The guy solo'ing Western Wastes dragons can usually get by with a smaller mana pool. The duo'ing shaman who isn't getting hit can place less emphasis on health/armor. Ultimately gear mostly improves staying power and margin for error, not so much raw capability. The sheer power of the class means it's difficult to build an ineffective shaman.

Spear of Construction
Smoldering Cudgel
Mage focus item like stein or torch.
Fairy-Hide Mantle
Fang Amulet of Calling
Vermillion Sky Ring
box of the void and class 3+5 mana batteries
Journeyman’s Walking Stick
DiZok Oracle Shelelleigh or Garduk
Fungi Tunic
Black/Green/White Flowers of functionality
Jaundiced Bone Breastplate
Ring 9

There’s some super high value items worth getting too:
Shamanistic Shenanigan Boots
Belt of Inconsistency

Keeping a high mana set on hand is useful too. Just to swap out your high AC/Click slots when you need to be spamming chloroplasts for a fight or need 20+ turgurs casts available. SS/matchless chest, benevolence range, pair of SS bracers. A soloing shaman build is very shit at those tasks without a way to quickly add 6-700 total manapool in anticipation of them. But otherwise AC is king, you won’t find a more important stat.

This is the exact list of items I use, except for ring 10 instead of ring 9, and no Fungi Tunic. With ring 10 and 3 aura of battle items, I never found much use in keeping the fungi tunic on hand.

Fungi is 15, Regrowth is 15. Ring 10 is 10 and 3 AOB items is another 16. Basically sacrificing 14 regen (about 6mana/tick).

Does AOB stack on top of worn regen past 15? Assuming max mana regen and never getting hit would optimum set up be fungi, casted regen, 3 AoB items, FT 5?

Not criticizing you choices, I'm certainly guilty of the same. Just spit balling different setups and I always forget where the caps are outside of 15 worn, 15 spell.

AoB does not stack worn regen past 15. If you are wearing a fungi tunic, AoB is only giving you the ATK bonus. Also, Ring 10 does not stack with regrowth.

Best regeneration you can get is +15 worn, +15 spell, +2 from Form of the Great Bear (this does stack with regrowth), and whatever the maximum is from bard song.

Only reason to get ring 10 on a Shaman is if you want to stack free spell regen with SoW. Otherwise, fungi staff and ring 9 works just fine.

Maybe a noob question here, but does the innate regen of iksar/troll stack with all of these? Or is there a total regen cap that makes the extra innate regen redundant?

There is a regen cap I believe but it’s like 50(?). Racial regen does stack and is very worthwhile.

Yes racial regen stacks with everything, it is not considered in any of the caps mentioned. A Torpor Shaman doesn't really meditate, so racial regeneration is +8 standing at level 60. A Troll/Iksar can get up to +40 regen per tick standing without a bard, and Ogres/Barbarians can get up to +32. Once you get Torpor, worn/spell regeneration loses a lot of utility because Torpor is +300 regen per tick. This is why you don't see a lot of Torpor Shamans still using Fungi Tunic as their main chest piece.

Mathematically Troll/Iksar regeneration gives you 4800 HP per hour over Ogres/Barbarians, assuming you are always under 100% HP. That is saving you 3-4 Torpors per hour, which means it is only saving you 2 minutes per hour at best. You can check out my Shaman race guide in my signature for more details on that, and videos.

...and whatever the maximum is from bard song

Think it's 32hp/tick with a 2.5 modifier instrument, or 36hp/tick with Puretone Disc up.
