Sigh. Not even responding to that nonsense.

Instead, I'm going to say: I just realized your shaman is wearing a Living Thunder Earring. That thing is a noob trap, even for a melee. And you're wearing it. On a fucking shaman.

I have no words.

You have such a hard on for max HP you cannot even fathom why a Shaman would wear a living thunder earring. Shamans have limited buff slots, and that earring is the best piece that gives see invisibility, reducing my total buff count by 1. Reducing total buff count by 1 is a bigger advantage than 30 HP lol.

Of course super amazing raid gear like Tormax crown offers see invis, but I have no inclination to get one. Not everyone gets super high DKP items in all slots.

Again, you are living in some strange fantasy land where nothing but HP matters.

Nope. If you aren't planning on getting a true sight item (which is very expensive DKP wise), overall this is the best piece for a shaman for See Invis. Every other piece will lose you stats overall when you combine that slot with the earring slot.

You don't. The earring is a total noob trap. 10AC/10MR is not as good as 30HP/10MR.

But you can't explain that to a guy who thinks 7 str is better than 65 HP.

It's befuddling.

Shamwowi was talking about his mainly solo-built shaman, for which specific purpose the vindicator ear is indeed a reasonable choice. 10 AC is better in that slot than 30 HP when a character that isn't getting complete heals and seldom reaches full health once engaged in combat. He can kill anything Torpor can out-heal, and more raw HP isn't helping Torpor out-heal anything. Since this is a shadow knight thread that's a tangent discussion, though.

Since I don't care for raiding my own ear slot items on my Shadow Knight are an Ivandyr's Hoop and (usually) a Shrunken Goblin ear. Laugh all you want but my character has sufficed for duo'ing practically all the group content in this game and I've been to the same temple veeshan raids everyone else has. I obviously don't call that type of stuff "best" but I do call it "good enough."

Clearly you don't buff people in raids enough, or play a class who has a lot of buffs[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Earrings are also prime candidates to swap for resistance gear, so you shouldn't get attached to what you put there, unless you have high tier raid loot like vulak earring. Half of the time you aren't getting anything other than resistances in an earring slot.

The only befuddling thing here is you think Crown of Narandi and Tormax Crown are somehow equal, and that more than 144 DEX on a character doesn't increase PPM.

Clearly you are out of touch with this game, and should start playing again before giving advise[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you are not STR capped, and you never die, 7 STR is 100% better than 65HP on a melee character. But since you clearly can't think for yourself, go on believing max HP is always better in all situations. You can certainly play like that, but you will be less efficient in terms of kill speed on a Shadowknight. Remember, we are discussing SOLO Shadowknights, not raid tanking Shadowknights doing Flurries.

Who's gonna tell him?

[DeathsSilkyMist]

If your answer to everything is "just spend 1000 DKP on an amazing raid item", you are really in fantasy land lol.
