Thank you guys for coming to my defense against the Loramin's allegation that I don't know what I'm talking about because "girl" is in my avatars name.

Wisdom is very important. It should be everyone's primary stat [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Stamina is also nice too, obviously! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Anyway, if Stamina was the most important stat, everyone would want a troll with max STA for their sham, which is obviously not the best choice. Because HP regen > 20 points of STA when root rotting and canni-i-ing. (which is not the only way to play a sham, obviously) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

WTF? "Stamina > Wisdom" has been the standard since 2001, way back when I read The Shaman's Crucible as religiously as I now read this forum. All I did was repeat it, which I would do to any shaman of any gender: there was absolutely no "mansplaining" or anything else to do with your chromosomes involved!

I think someone has a persecution complex ...

IMHO even just 1 point of regen > 20 points of stamina. As I keep repeating, maximums don't do anything except save your bacon when things go south (and if you play well you'll either avoid those situations or get out of them without needing the extra buffer of higher maximums). Regen on the other hand reduces downtime, at least when soloing: that translates into faster leveling.

I tend to think it helps more than higher maximums in groups too, as even 1 HP regen eventually leads to another spell you can cast to help your group.

I wind up sitting around AFK a lot anyway. So even that is not a big deal in the end. I agree with both perspectives. I think it comes down to what you prefer for your playstyle.

I prefer to just have more mana most of the time, that way, if I never fill up on mana, I'm always netting a gain as much as possible. But, that almost never, ever happens anyway. So... given 500mana or 500hp... I think definitely, in group scenarios (which is my playstyle) 500 mana buffer wins. It makes that big splitting pull not a big deal sometimes, it's a few extra roots, or a re-slow on that final mob. And I think that's what EQ is about. Getting a rythm and a bit of strategy.

Of course +80hp rings before level 20 are like, amazing tho [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

During fights I run AC gear & my fungi.

If I have time to med before a challenging fight, I use specific gear that will push my wisdom above 200 and maximize my +mana.

You know there is a perk to having a very high HP pool and that it's you get the most out of your Torpors.

When you have a significantly lower HP pool then torpor often hits you at 100%.

With a higher pool you can get lower hp, more safely, and get more efficiency out of your torpors.

I think that when you're a level 60 shaman with Torpor you shouldn't care about this 'issue'
