Ogre Shaman Gear

=/ I cant really confirm if the iksar bp is worth it.. on one hand it will last you until you are high enough to get or buy a fungi.. on the other hand.. the haste is good up until like level 35, then melee just loses its power for the shaman...

That's a really tough call, becuse both items are kinda meh.. I would wear the gloves until like 35 then see what you can get if you try to swap them out.

I still melee solo at 46 on my sham, iskar bp SCHW and granite face grinder...i can do like 4-5 blue mobs before medding

You should buy the cheap items of the Jaundiced Bone set; the AC is superb. The only stats you will ever need are AC and HPs. They are like 400pp each for 4 of them.

If I had to choose between a SCHW and an Iksar Regen BP on a shaman, I'd take the BP. Being able to cannibalize more - being able to take more hits - dying less.... all these come with regen. SCHW will let you kill faster, but I don't think it would have as much benefit as the regen BP.

There is nothing meh about the iksar regen bp for the shaman class. It is the second best chest item in the game that you can buy. Nothing else you can reasonably buy other than fungi will give you the same return on investment.

The haste item you will outgrow as your melee falls off and your time is better spent spell slinging.

The regen item is timeless. If you're smart you won't drop it until you upgrade to a fungi. Even melee mode the +5 regen will do as much for your overall kill rate as 21% haste by reducing your downtime between pulls. This is especially the case at the lower levels where permanent +5 regen makes low end content trivial. When you outgrow meleeing, that regen will help you do what the big boy shamans do ... Canni harder and cast more.

No contest, regen should be the priority.
