Another shaman in velious topic!
I’m back from about a year absence to the game (Hi friends!) and I have some questions about Velious as a shaman. I read http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=132972 but since I never played Velious live (or any endgame content live, for that matter), I’d like a bit more detail. Here’s my magelo: http://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:Winga although I’m using dusty rusted arms/wrist (instead of jarsath). So basically I’ve got a bunch of junk and an epic =D. My immediate goals are to hit 60 and get Torpor. I don’t know if I’ll be finished with either one before Velious comes out, because my play time is extremely limited.
1) Is the plane of mischief or skyshrine armor remotely realistic for someone without time to be active within a raiding guild? 2) If the answer to the above is no, should one consider Kael armor? The set offers ~50 more armor and a small amount of additional stats. If so, is it realistic to do this after completing the coldain ring quest line? Are there any other really notable advantages to Kael? 3) What 6-man grouping experiences can I expect from Velious? 4) What new leveling opportunities, solo or grouped, can I expect for 57-60? 5) For alt leveling, how would your ideal leveling path to 55 or so differ with the release of Velious? 6) Can the coldain ring quest be completed twice, once to 10 and a second time to 9? If so, do the buffs from the lvl 9 and 10 rings stack? edit: 7) How quickly (or at all) will a shaman run into the worn AC cap in velious?

I haven't played Velious since since 2001-ish, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but ...

I think Velious also introduced some armor in the Plane of Growth, but (obviously) that's raid only. Then there's Mischief armor, which is great except it will be REALLY hard to get (both because Mischief quests can take forever and because everyone and their brother will be fighting over Mischief). So, I think any non-raider should initially go for the dwarf armor line, then supplement it with pieces from Mischief or random pieces (eg. 7th Shawl). Quote:

6. Rings will not stack clicky wise. Also keep in mind the 10th ring does not stack with Regrowth or Fungi staff.
7. A raider with Chestplate of Vindication and Shaman Boots from PoM will cap fast :P. Honestly though worrying about AC on a shaman is pretty meh IMO.

That's interesting about the ring, such a shame! So with the 9th ring we'll get a damage shield, 10th we won't. Weird!
The AC question was related to choice of offhand/ranged. Although I guess SBS and talisman of benevolence would trump any of the other combos available to non-raider, even without considering lower AC options.

No.
The buffs will not stack. Regrowth will prevent 10th ring from sticking on you.

Should in your opinion sure. Should in classic, definitely not.
The ring is still the best ring for shamans outside of the Vulak+AoW ring combination. That being said the ring will be rough to obtain on this server.
