Platinum Tiara vs. Totemic Helm vs. Jaundiced Bone Helm (3AC +35HP +50Mana) vs. (12AC +5wis) vs (18AC effect:Glamour) Would there be differences in your recommendation here depending on low level (1-40), mid level (41-52), or high level (53+)? One negative about my current Platinum Tiara is that it doesn't have a graphic. But the hit points are pretty nice. The other two have decently cool plate head graphics. | |||

Basically, at lower levels, I don't worry so much about AC. From what I understand, AC is capped on a per-level basis, so you'll hit that cap with nearly any kind of twink gear at lower levels. Give yourself the biggest HP pool you can, then. At higher levels, I feel AC plays a more important role for a Shaman since you can easily take a few hundred points of damage in one round. Obviously, a little HP here and there adds up, but in general I would only trade AC for HP/mana when there is a lot to gain. The Platinum Tiara is an interesting option, but I've got other things to spend 8k on first. [You must be logged in to view images.

We just don't know exactly how much higher. Maybe I'll do some parsing when I hit 60 and have some free time. With our buffs, it may be that we can almost completely ignore AC on gear and just stack HP. | |||

He's def getting there, Labido's gettin duked out slowly and surely. I just wanted to throw up an update to this thread as Labido has grown tremendously since this was first posted. He's currently 51 atm. I was hoping I could get a veteran Shaman or two to look over my gear so far and help me fill any weaknesses that I may have missed. Like what's good in Shaman wrists now that I may or may not of out grown the Golden Jaded. My next priorities for next gear as I see it are: Epic (Have max faction + tear so just need to set up final fight) Sarnak Battle Shield to go with 1hander Idol of the Thorned (any better range piece for shaman?) Maybe a Fungi Staff. Next level is level52/Regrowth so may skip this item. Should I? Iksar Hide Boots/Withered Leather Boots (for the HPs, tho I dig my Black Fur from Dire) and finally... Some nice pants to upgrade from Black Chitin Leggings: Looks matter! Rune Etched Greavess will have to be what to shoot for now to fill this category. Jaundiced Bone Greaves are still essentially a pipe dream til Velious and VS opening up a lil. What am I missing? First World problems. | ||

As far as your wrists, the Supple Scale Armband and Bracelet of the Spirits are good choices. | |||

Agree on Supple Scale Armband. Easy to get if you XP in KC.
Also, how about Obulus Death Shroud for shoulders? And them pants... | ||

Platinum Tiara for sure, compared to the others its not even a close call. Especially for the lower levels.
For your range slot, I'd go with a Howling Harpoon over the Idol of the Thorned. The Idol of the Thorned is about +25hps at level 60 for a shaman. The Howling Harpoon is pretty much +100 mana at level 60. Howling Harpoon MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM PLACEABLE Slot: RANGE PRIMARY Skill: Piercing Atk Delay: 35 DMG: 13 Dmg Bonus: 25 This item is placeable in yards, guild yards, houses, and guild halls. WIS: +6 MANA: +40 Effect: Stun (Combat, Casting Time: Instant) at Level 40 | ||

I appreciate all of the suggestions and comments so far.
How does Withered Leather look aesthically on an ogre? Considering replacing my two current items: Black Chitin Leggings and Black Fur Boots with the following: Withered Leather Leggings and Withered Leather Boots Has anyone tried this look with an ogre wearing a fungi tunic? Is Withered Leather just the standard leather look? | ||

I believe the Withered Leather is normal leather look, and is what I ended up with in my build and it looks terrible.
Not to hijack your thread, but I could use some suggestions too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] looks like I ended up too Wis heavy, so when I get to the canni levels I'll probably take some time to re-gear. | ||
