shaman chest piece question

[Danth]

I'm with Shamwowi on this one.

~130 HP isn't even the full damage range of a single melee round at the level we're talking about. You're a solo shaman, you pull something that hits for 250's, doubles, you need to soak that until you can malo then get a slow to land, which might not be on the first cast. In no world is the fungus tunic going to be better than the vindicator BP in that environment, even ignoring the resists on the vindicator BP. All that really matters is what happens in the first 10-30 seconds because by that point either you got slow on or you're capping/feigning/dead, maybe stretch it to a minute or so if you're chugging wort pots like they're candy.

Not everyone does that type of stuff; in fact, most don't. The fungus tunic enjoys its legendary reputation because it's so strong for grinding weak experience fodder. If a player's world is limited to bottom feeding karnor trash or sebilis NG or being carried to greatness in 100+ man zerg raids then the fungus tunic is probably better. The fungus tunic scales inversely; since its effect is fixed it always gets better as content gets easier.
