Slow spells slow the mob for a duration of time, usually around 3 mins, they do not tick.

Slow spells, to my knowledge, do not stack, the best one cast is the one that will effect the mob.

I use to cast the fleeting fury stuff on myself when I was solo meleeing, but that was in my teens. Since then mobs hit really hard, and I never tank anything when i solo, although i hear of people doing this.

You can make a macro to target yourself and heal, but I don't think there is a way to then target the mob you are fighting. clicking it isn't that big of a problem, but even if such a macro existed, chances are you'd get interrupted, or fizzle or something, just kind of seems like a pita

I stopped tanking while soloing a long time ago, but opinions should differ on some of this stuff, then you get a pet at 34.

Dex effects proc rates, so they wont help you unless you have a proc weapon

"whats the limit on the to hit cap" I am not really sure what you mean...I guess miss rate. I still miss a lot with 140 piercing skill, it seems as though we will always miss alot, agility increases AC / avoidance, so it wont help your melee at all

Wisdom increases mana pool, which is helpful of course, hp and sta become more important later on for canni, the more hp you have the more you can canni and regain mana, so I guess this is another opinion question : D all other stats are pretty non important. The soft cap for wis is around 200 I think, so at that point youd want + mana gear or more +hp gear, but until then you cant go wrong with mostly + wis, and some + hp stuff ( stamina doesnt give much hp till around max lvl tbh )

I liked my shaman a lot more once I got my pet at 34, so id say that that is the " take off level " at that point you generally have 1 type of all the useful spells you will have. Other notable levels are 24 - canni and regen. 29 - haste and greater healing. 34 - pet and fury. BTW dot / dmg spells are sold in a diff location, not at your trainer, so if you are missing these, that is why. if you are a barb they are sold in everfrost, innothule for trolls / ogres.

all of the "spirit of" spells stack

for everyone else, feel free to correct anything i have said that may be wrong, I answered these pretty fast. feel free to ask anything else : D
