I always value effects over stats for content you have less players for. A 8pt ds, 15hps/tick, etc mean very little tanking 2-3 group content but for 2-3 players it makes a noticeable difference.
I assume you have an epic or greenmist since those are class making items. Hp recovery via procs is definitely your bread and butter. Diminishing effects hits hard in EQ. A Vindi bp is great but a Thurgadin quest bp is solid for just over 20k. Same logic for the cloak or ring 8 vs 9. Is either BP better than a fungi for low-person stuff? Probably not. No experience with the crown. On paper 20 mana a minute will keep up with bare minimum tank spell use. Two disease clouds a minute. Probably perfect for a sham duo. | ||

A fungus tunic is undoubtedly better for the easy stuff. Take Sebilis as an example. The wife (60 SHM) and I (60 SK) were in Chef area last night and she had to heal me only two or three times an hour on average, mostly when some Wizard blasted me. A fungus tunic might've erased the need for outside healing entirely. On the other hand, an occasional Torpor here and there can hardly be called a strain on the healer and that stuff wasn't going to kill us regardless. On the opposite side, look at something like Bledrek in Velketor's Labrynth, another common target of ours. He hits for double 420's. Here's where I wonder about the fungus tunic: I would lose over 20 worn (30 displayed) AC with a fungus tunic vs. Thurgadin chestplate. If that AC is sufficient to reduce even a single average DI roll per minute by half, then the fungus tunic would in fact be a net loser even ignoring its -16 net change in DEX reducing lifetap proc rate slightly and other stat reductions. While it would take a lot of log parsing to answer this one conclusively, instinct tells me the higher AC is probably preferred over the regen in this type of case. The fungus tunic is a great item for solo, but in my situation where I mostly duo with a Shaman I'd leave it bagged most the time for regen while feigned or similar niche uses. Admittedly vanity factors in somewhat as well: Fungus tunic looks really bad on a human. Danth | |||

AC and hps are great, I'm a huge fan. If I was tanking stuff that hits for 200+ I'd prob wear an AC bp over the fungi; especially if it was one-off kills vs a steady stream of xp. If it's a matter of efficient grinding though, especially running around looking for pulls, 9000 extra hps an hour is really nice. Not consequential to a shaman but for like a druid or cleric w/o clarity maybe. Yea fungi fashion is a real thing. Human's look respectable at least compared to erudite males, lol. Ultimately my biggest hurdle with a fungi is not keeping it on a different class, usually an alt or the ranger who needs every advantage not dying. | |||

the shawl is never worth it considering how fast you can get 100 dkp in any guild that does ring wars and get narandi crown @ 200% effectiveness of the shawl
