Another redundant/meaningless SK question

And then there's always the slight possibility that shawl 8-10 are added, as was originally intended in Velious.

That would be pretty sweet if they did add those.

Fungi ----> Crown

If no torpor, then Fungi over Crown no matter what.

If torpor, could make an argument for Crown...but my guess is still Fungi > Crown. Let's face it, your shaman is doing the bulk of the work in this duo. Save him some mana and just get the Fungi.

If you are duoing with a Torpor Shaman, Crown is way better. The Shaman is healing, slowing, and replenishing their own mana. The only thing a Torpor Shaman cannot do is heal your mana. Mana is a big bottleneck on hybrids, so more mana regen means less med breaks and more killing. Unless you both have pocket enchanters for Clarity or pocket Druids for POTG.

Just to put a bit of math on it, if you are doing a 10 minute fight, Fungi Tunic is giving you 1500 HP in that 10 minutes. 1500 HP is one Torpor, which costs a Shaman 200 mana. If your fight is win or lose because of 200 mana on your Shaman, the fight was super risky already.

The Crown gives the Shadowknight 200 mana in that 10 minutes, which means 1 less minute of med time. It only takes 30 seconds for a Torpor Shaman to get their 200 mana back, so you are increasing recovery time by 30 seconds, and your Shadowknight can cast more spells in that 10 minutes. Also, if your Shadowknight is wearing a nice BP, it will have quite a bit more AC than Fungi, so you are getting some hits reduced with that extra AC. You would theoretically proc a bit more as well without the -10 Dex, which is good if you are healing via epic or another lifesteal proc weapon.

Just get a fungi, vindi bp, and crown IMO. Should have no problem getting all 3 if you have the means of getting a crown.

They can’t wear it, so that’d be the worst possible buy.

Exactly. That is why I did Shawl 7 on my SK. That is the easiest Flowing Thought I item you can get. SK's can buy Flowing Thought II with Crown, but not Flowng Thought I.
