Caster twinks:

I'm currently working on a 19 shaman, BoA weapons, etc.



My only debate is Voice Amplification Modulator(http://www.wowhead.com/?item=16009)

or Sentinel's Medallion?



I really only see that kicks/shocks would be the only thing affecting the voice amplification neck, and the armor/sta would be very nice.



What is best?
 
I would say since the max 1 sec interrupt in WOTLK it's not worth it, and I would go with sentinels or thick bronze.

I use it on my paladin, I totally prefer it over 3 stam, 2 spir or 6 agi 2 stam.

I think http://www.wowhead.com/?item=16009 is definitly the best for a shaman twink.

The effect of 10% to reduce duration of for example interrupt effects by rogues makes that trinket a very good one :D.

It's a necklace, not a trinket.
 
Seems pretty situational. Seems like anything with lots of hunters=sentinels for armor, and with lots of rogues would be voice amplif?
 
10% reduction on silence time is so pointless...that takes like .2 seconds off of an earth shock and like .5 off a kick



l2fake cast and get sentinels
 
Figured so, i know how to fake cast, as i play a 29 paladin healer twink, and was wondering how effective it really is. Was looking for some numbers, thanks Tetox.
 
np...keep in mind u wont notice a difference either way, 20 hp and a tiny bit of dodge is nothing and so is .2 off an earth shock interrupt...the way i look at it tho is this:



my heal takes 2.5 sec....a shammy has a 2 second interrupt on a 6 second cd...that leaves me 4 sec to cast...will the .2 second difference allow me to sneak a second heal in between earth shocks....the answer is no...not even close



for kick its .5 allowing me 5.5 sec of casting instead of 5...this does give u a nice buffer....however a rogue will gouge u...so its still fucking stupid lol



shield bash is a 6 second interrupt...so this saves u .6 allowing u 6.6 seconds of free casting...does it get u another heal...no...



in conclusion...this wont squeeze u another heal and for those who argue that it will help u start casting that much sooner...well its a valid point, but does a fraction of a second really matter that much...if ur doing ur job right, it shouldnt...any target of ur heals who needs that extra .2-.6 (depending on the interrupt) is gona die anyway (in most cases)



interesting idea: spec a priest into unbreakable will in discipline along with martyrdom and the holy talent that reduces interruption and then get this



u would have 25% reduction to silences, 70% pushback resist, and after being crit u would gain 100% pushback resist and 20% chance to resist silence



that spec would reduce shock silence by .5, kick silence by 1.25 and shield bash by a whopping 1.5 seconds...also reduces a lot of ur pushback and u can resist interrupts



note: u lose 10% on ur renew and .5 sec on ur heal cast...



is it worth it?...discuss
 
just so you know, damage can only interrupt a heal twice. afterwards it's free casting for that heal. they just changed it to that the last patch.
 
yes i know...they also changed all talents to "reduce amount of pushback" instead of "reduce chance to be pushed back"



if u get the 70% reduction talent, it makes it so u only lose .3 sec on ur cast even if u have 10 ppl on u...its still an awesome talent...almost as good as before the patch, just not as needed
