Shaman help
Hi there, im thinking of doing an Iksar Shammy but have a few questions.
Do i really need JBB? Is slam needed at all for 60 solo? How big is the Iksar bonus here? is it 40 - 45 AC bonus like on live? | ||

JBB is the best shaman item aside from Epic/Fungi Tunic.
I had a 65 Iksar Shaman on live, and 60 Ogre Shaman on another EQEmu and P99. I'd strongly advise going Ogre or Troll. | ||

Iksar AC bonus is dependent on how they implement it here. It also can't be measured in pure AC - it is measured in parses of damage taken.
On live, it was pretty massive, leading to rerolls and outcries and so forth, as is well documented. It was due to two factors mainly imo: The relatively low 289(?) worn AC cap in Velious, and the fact that fights were MUCH longer, making the bonus really add up. On here, only Monks have an even playing field armor wise currently and it is a substantial improvement, there are parses if you search the forums. There's no way to say how big of a difference it'll be here in Velious. Slam stops interrupting mobs beyond a certain level. I think it's 50. Interrupting mobs in general becomes harder. Anything "hard" in Velious isn't affected by Slam, far as I recall. It'd trivialize things too much. However, this is not live. Someone said JBB is the second most important shaman... personally, I'd take Puppet Strings. In Velious you can Canni4 4+ times in the time you can channel JBB. That is at least 388 mana. Personally I'd recommend directly asking the better shamans their opinions and going from there.

unless you know you're going to hit max level and do all that highlevel shit (good luck raiding without being in TMO) you'd be better off picking what you prefer to play over minmax bullshit
