Shaman gear 20k budget

[erlichbachman]

Hi,

Im starting a fresh shaman on the green server and have about 20k to spend. What gear should I get? Also what should I aim for as I progress?

Ikky chestplate, poison wind censer, silver chitin hand wraps, 6/65 rings, shrunken goblin skull earring. I'd save the leftover for JBB, selling whatever you need to in order to afford it when you hit 45.

Pretty good starting list, I would prioritize a fungi staff over JBB, in my experience the JBB is way overrated when you have solid other gear as a manaless nuke isn't that relevant when you have limitless mana and the DoTs give way more damage in a very mana efficient way.

Also make sure you grab a copy of Canni II when you can use it. 85% of your casts will be canni/fungi staff/canni/fungi staff

He loves the fungi staff, remember its a FT II item according to him [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What bcbrown said to 35.
Fungi Staff clicks at 35, get one.
JBB clicks at 45, get one.
Get an epic ASAP if you solo or fungi tunic if you group more. (Ideally both)
Sell the fungi tunic and staff if you hit 60 and want torp but don’t have extra plat.

Idk what the ratio for plat to amphetamines is but you'll wanna find a good deal if you plan to stay awake playing shaman

Agreed.

Prioritize JBB over Fungi Staff if you can only pick one. Otherwise get both.

Fungi Staff translates to 1200 mana per hour, or FT2. 8 Clicks of JBB has already given you 1200 mana's worth of DD spells. Obviously you can click JBB more than 8 times per hour, which translates into more mana saving.

JBB spam is more efficient than root/rotting from 45-60 if you can't afford your Epic. Ensure you have enough money for Torpor before deciding to buy an Epic for leveling. It is better to be a level 60 Shaman with Torpor and no Epic, than a level 60 Shaman with Epic and no Torpor.

As others have said, items like JBB, Fungi Tunic, and Fungi Staff can be sold for Torpor money when you hit 60.
