BiS DPS/Balanced set, Enhancement Shaman

[tøhzt]

I've picked up a load of gear for a 39 shaman and I think i have most pieces and the bis list on the 39 forum seems a bit off to what i'd go with, does anyone have or know what set to roll for a balanced stam set and an all out AP set,

I've got most items as far as i know but quest item's I have no clue

Thanks

What's off about the BiS list? That's as balanced of a set as you can get. If you want to see a max DPS set here it is.

I run a high stam/ap build, you lose a good amount of Crit over other builds but you’ll still end up with 12.55% Crit after talents. I’ve had a lot of success with it, good luck! https://sixtyupgrades.com/set/5nE6HfpEJEC9B6X9ZCN9ef

TBH I personally believe having a fairly high mana pool would result in the best 39 enhancement shaman.

Can anyone with a 39 Shammy tell me approximately how much Agi it takes to get 1% Crit in game?

13 AGI is .98 crit

Wow, that's super favorable. I was already reconsidering how much I value Agi based on the importance of procing Flurry. It would be interesting to see how high someone could get their crit with an Agi heavy build. Thanks to WF and Crusader, it could be that reaching 20%+ Crit nets you a lot more procs, making up for low base AP.

My estimate puts this build at 22% Crit with talents, but it's a bit flimsy for sure.

I'm just rounding to whole numbers so I'm considering 13 agil == 1% crit.

Using 60 stat weights for raiding (str = 2, agi = 1.17) and adjusting agility's weight it to 39 (13 == 20, 1.93 == 1.17) you can see that str still provides a higher, albeit not by much, dps increase.

They're so close that I'd just say its personal preference. Highest number of stats per piece is probably what you want to go for.

not sure if stats vary at lower lvl or if this is just based on a lvl 60

Yea, my post was only relevant for shamans and (maybe) warriors.

Every gear planner (that I've seen) has been incorrect with agility scaling at lower levels so it is really, really hard to figure out without having a 39 of the class you want to look at.

I have no idea if 13 is the right number for 1% crit for shamans at 39, but why would someone just go on the internet and tell lies.

Okay just to clear it up...On a 39 Female Orc Enhancement Shaman 13 agility will increase your critical strike chance with melee weapons by .98%

man 13 seems fucking low for almost 1% crit wonder if that image i posted is for 60s only and it scales abit with low lvls, it has to if your getting nearly 1% for 13 agl.

 

[Strokes]

Yea, that article was only relevant for 60.

It takes about 32-33 agil to get 1% ranged crit as hunter at 39.

I can't really show the difference on my hunter's in game page because I haven't trained weapons to 195...

No offence to your post i shouldn't have included balanced set, but i've bought the set you have put in there also still haven't even got round to levelling yet, also managed to pick all the gear off the max DPS set also

can't wait to try it out when i find the effort to level!

Thanks for the help!
