30 SK mostly duo/small groups. Weapon choice? Haste?
Currently level 30 Iksar SK. Primarily duo with shaman, and often trio+ if we can find dps. (we play late night EST.
Should I be focusing on obtaining a new 2h to replace my dark reaver? Perhaps a shield to replace my 10ac shield of Kurn's? Or saving for a haste item? With the pre nerf cos being way out of my price range now I'm looking for a goal to work towards. Current gear is a mix of dreadscale, seb scale, have my 5 ac 55 hp rings. Jade mace/shield of kurn for 1h, dark reaver for 2h. I've found myself mostly using the dark reaver since it's finally hitting for decent damage. Will probably keep it a while for the proc. (I don't remember it stacking with siphon on live was stoked to see that it does here!) I've saved up about 1kpp so far, so about a quarter of the way towards schw or fbss if I want to save a bit longer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

That dark reaver is terrible xD
Try picking up a deathbringers rod, 30/40 2hb that is probly under 300pp now. Also a noc blade is a much better 1h option and i would think theyre really cheap now. Jade mace isnt a knight weapon so the ratio is really bad on it | ||

you can get an axe of lost souls for some what cheap. not as cheap as deathbringers rod but it comes with stats and the same ratio.
since you are a tanking class, haste isnt your main priority, but it does help. I was cheap and waited until i could get the free plane of air belt with 16% haste. | ||

Picked up a Green Jade Halberd today. Stats gave me over 50 hp and about 7 ac btw the + hp, sta and agi, and seems like a decent ratio. Should hold me well till I can farm enough cash for a solid 1h/shield combo. Thanks for the advice.

Duoing with a shaman, I would recommend a nice 2 hander for damage. You will have the mob slowed so you won't need the extra AC from a shield. You'll want to do as much damage as possible to make the fights go faster.
I would keep the 1h/shield if you feel like swapping it for interrupting casters. The other option would be to fear kite the caters, assuming you have room at your camp. | ||

Thanks for the advice. The new weapon and armor that I picked up this week definitely helped my dps out quite a bit. Shaman usually does a great job of being efficient, as do I. We generally have little downtime and this is with the sham charming a cat in OT as well to add a little dps.
I think my next move is to farm up a nocti/sbs combo now that I have a nice 2 hander, and just keep grinding out the levels. Feels good to be out of the pre invis/fd lvls. Nice to be able to explore a bit with a few tools to prevent a long cr.
