Enchant wrist, shoulder and weapon are wrong. I would also consider : Festering Bracers - Item - World of Warcraft since 2 crit > 3 intel/ 3 stam.

you thinking 8 crit on bracers?

i agree with you on shoulders, only reason i have aldor is because i was already honored with them on my main, and reversing it takes to long and ive tested most ofthe weapon enchants and black magic is my favorite still. i guess its a preference thing

 

[Dorigon]

The 45 second ICD on Black Magic alone makes it iffy.

It's 10 crit bracers maximum after scalling on wrist.

it's okay i can understand that you were already Aldor, and yeah scryers better.

for the weapon, after massive theorycraft with my guild mates, jade spirit is the best for ele for simple reasons:

1) No ICD so you can basicly make it proc everytime. while black magic got 45 sec ICD.

2) Jadespirit proc first hit after a certain time while black magic no.

3) Jadespirit give you more sustain damage while black magic is for 1 burst.

4) the talent of ele that reduce the cast time of lighning bolt is enough alone (0.5 sec less), since black magic reduce the cast time 0,35 sec not enough. So not viable.

5) there is no need for haste as ele premade because decents players won't interrupt you they prefer keep interrupt for 3 orb MB / devoring plague they won't interrupt you before your 7 stacks tho. They will let you free cast since your baseline damage is not that great compare to hunters or others casters. Shaman is all crit based and Jadespirit when proc give some extra crit which is really appreciate.

but it's still your shaman if you don't want to follow my advice then do whatever you want.

Alright, fair point. i'll give jadespirit another go then i guess. Thanks

Can you give me some ideas on what to replace the incorrect items with, if they're available on Alliance? Here's what I have so far, still working on replacing some gear (belt, AGM, maybe a lucky Hotshot's heh) and my other ring and trinket are on a different character currently. I also know the enchant on my gloves is wrong, but it's the best I can do until I find someone on my dead server with the correct healing power enchant.

I feel like my stats are pretty decent, but I'd like to get as close to BIS as possible with Alliance-only gear.

In my opinion you should consider glove reinforcement on that gloves or the wild rider gloves but the alliance version (green item from quest but 1 more stam than wild rider)

you should also get the belt from be a raptor in STV quest chain.

the same bracer i linked to my EU homie. With 10 crit on it.

and a dead pirate ring if you are lucky this sunday.

i do prefer glove reinforcement when you don't have AGM and a trinket of course.

I'll definitely look into those gloves. I might try to transfer a pair of Woodworking Gloves I have another server too, that might be an ok option?

The belt from the raptor quest chain is the one I'm working on just need to get all the prerequisite quests out of the way, and I hate questing.

Definitely going to snatch up those bracers, and I already have Dread Pirate Ring, it's just being used on another character.

Thanks for all the info, I appreciate the help friend!

nah remove woodworking from your mind this isn't 19's when you play against full optimized people, you will mainly face F2P's i don't 1 intel will be a big deal. It will be such a waste just keep it unbound. Get the gloves that have pretty much same stat as wild rider but 1 stam more and alliance side. You will use it when you will have AGM. Before agm found another of your gloves on AH and put glove reinforcements.

it's good you have the ring tho, the wrist is super easy to obtain it's like 1 quest literally.

Do you happen to know the name of those gloves or the quest that gives them? I think you might be talking about this, but it looks like they're Horde only?

wouldnt power torrent be better since thats 75 int?

 

[Goesid]

wouldnt power torrent be better since thats 75 int?

Also has 45 sec ICD

The 45 sec ICD don't even worth the 13 intel you earn.

Jade Spirit is a clear winner.

Keep in mind Stone Bulwark Totem also scales with SP, and having more common procs will also help with your survivability.

There is a reason why every gladiator and rank one shaman play with Nature Guardian.

It's a passive it's auto activate while silenced / stun / kicked / feared / dissoriented and stuff...

While the Stone Bulwark totem you have to trinket first in order to put the totem. 2 CDs waste against 1 passive CD waste.

30 sec against 1 min.

Nature Guardian any time in my eyes. It prevent you from a suddent death.

1000 damage absorb every 1min is tough to pass up. I played Nature's Guardian for a very long time, and it is a sweet talent. But at low levels, the TOTAL survivability it gives seems to be less useful.

 

[Dorigon]

I definitely prefer SBT on my 24 ele - the total benefit is huge.

 

[Ridwane]

I don't really feel it .

Guess it's because i've got saved by Nature Guardian so many times on both 19s / 24s / and 90s shaman.

 

[Apnea]

I've been impressed with the totem at 24 as well, though I played with Nature's Guardian at 19.
