I agree BiS slots kind of throw things out of whack because it's hard to say what something at the vey end of the spectrum is worth. But sometimes you can ask is the value the BiS gives over the 2nd BiS slot worth the cost of 5 other BiS items? | |||

I'll say GEBS. Int/Wis is rather a small factor in experiencing and most raids.

One of the older school ones i never understood was the Runed Lava Pendant. Granted AC was often broken and STR gear in classic wasn't easily obtainable and/or in abundance, but ugh.

In my personal opion a few things come to mind.
First JBB, a bracer that I can click and cast a 8 second nuke... Funny thing is for eight seconds I could be doing something else. Now I'm not saying there isn't use for this item ,however the emotional state people seem to follow is just borderline ridiculous. People advising others to make a shaman that isn't iksar just because of a item clicky , that poses no game breaking advantages. Sure theres reports of shamans soloing dragons with a JBB, but you don't think theres other items that could help accomplish this feat? Second would be the mana pool debate. Now clearly there are some advantages of larger mana pools verse lower. I can think of way to many times where a large mana pool wasn't a key factor in a sucessful group. Now if you were to relate this with twinking a lower character , obviously the character will be able to do more in the group. Either way tho theres downtime in the game regardless. So that one pinnacle of where that character with the larger mana pool has to have a time to regain it. Like everyone else in game the regen of mana is the same rate , unless influeced by a buff or item. Sure the cleric might be able to get a few more heals in with that little bit extra mana , but regardless other stats are being ignored. Now clearly there has been adequate testing on this game for years. So some stuff is proven to work better than others. Personally what defines a unique character for me , is the ones that are able to accomplish a lot with out having to fall into the trends of others , so much that it defines their class or play ability. For instance I got the privelege of group with a ranger the other day. This ranger maxed all his wisdom via starting stats. He was in his mid thirties with a ton of wisdom gear. More than the average ranger. When confronted about as to why? He responded " I like having a bigger mana pool so I can CC, and employ my class differently then others make it". Well maybe it's just me , but that hit home for me. To top it off this ranger was damn well played. We were pulling mobs from Lguk and this dude had well over three rotted at one point in time. Not to mention snared. Sure it may not sound like much , but we all know how crappy root could be on this game. Yes the ranger neglected his role of "DPS" for the time being , however he was able to deliver us really adequate CC. Now whether or not his gear served a purpose or really was " Game changing , to these skills" I found it awesome that despite of the social conditioning , he played how he wanted to play. So in essence, there is more to this game than following the social trends of items play styles etc. Though I may have dropped off topic, in regards to over valued items etc. I believe it all trickles into the social conditioning people are placed into this game. I for one love seeing stupid crap, cause sometimes it works. Though a monk with max intelligence ( I wont name who) was rather funny.... And for the record (edited in) I hate the item " Fungi Tunic", regen is so overated in this game its laughable , may help with downtime hp , but damn for the amount of money for this item. You can hire some druids to run across wherever and regen you for the right amount of cash. Be smart. Work with others and make friends. ( PS give the fungi tunic to me, I'll be your friend ) =P | ||

I don't think you understand how much mana it takes for shaman to do dps by themselves, especially since our pets no longer hit for 4x53 every round.

Having a clickable 15pt regen+20pt regen from Shadow Compact=35 regen per tick on your pet, while having Fungi regen on yourself+sitting while liching = lose no hp while gaining a shit ton of mana. Priceless.
