Enh shaman questions

[Prey/Doc]

So, I am new the the bracket. Got my hands on a PoD so i thought i would give it a shot.

first question, would it be worth it to put a weapon chain on PoD. I know crusader is so strong, but disarms just destroy me, and I feel like I have plenty of dmg even without Sader proc. Also, I can always throw sader on my 1h/shield then switch to PoD after proc. Is this goofy or there a world were this seems viable.

Second question, What 1h/shield should I be using? rn I have the healing mace from cath and green tower. I think the healng mace is probably not optimal from a pure dmg aspect, but its not like +healing is wasted on me, and the dps on it seems pretty good.

IMO a weapon chain is not so expensive, so you could try it first and if you don't like it enchant Crusader over it. I like your thinking, you will continue to do damage if you keep your weapon, but how often are you being disarmed and will it outweigh the potential damage and healing (albeit minimal) you get from Crusader?

Most people will agree Crusader is the way to go.

The mace from SM is a hard hitting mofo, but I also like to see the shammy's with Hypnotic blade and the flame-brand thing.

I don't have a sensible answer for you, but you've just given me an idea. 2 PoD's, one with crusader and one with fiery. Switch to the fiery one whenever crusader procs or you get disarmed.

900g for a bit more DPS and countering a few seconds of disarm every BG is what twinking is all about.

Oh I definitely agree w the concept of multiple weapons to switch out as needed. I don't have great gold generation so that isn't an option for me. Also your post suggests you can weapon swap away from a disarm but that isn't the case. If you wanted to avoid the disarm you would have to switch to PoD w chain before the disarm is used. The devuff exists on you not the weapon so changing weapons after would not help.

Not sure how you drew that conclusion from their post. I didn't see anything they said that implied you could swap in the middle of being disarmed.

The guy said that you can use a PoD with crusader until it procs or you are disarmed, and then switch to fiery. Which, I am pretty sure you cannot do while disarmed.

Also, isn't there an issue of switching items with the same exact name? Unless you use a mod or click the item.

Oh I see now! Yeah that's a no go on hot swapping while disarmed. As far as the same name issue is concerned, it shouldn't be a problem if it's a 2H, you can just use a bagslot macro that is super simple and reliable. There are problems with identical names mostly when dual wielding or sword/boarding.

I completely forgot about bagslot macros! It's been forever.
