Shaman Weapons (Switch)

[whitekush]

So, clearly i'm still working on my shaman, and i had a question.



I start with Devout Aurastone Hammer +22 int + Forest Buckler +7 stam



After i burn 330 mana, i need a weapon to enchant 30 SP on..



either another Devout Aurastone Hammer or Blessed Hammer of Grace

which will be used with my Forest Buckler+7stam, and then i have Arctic Buckler+5health/mana per5.



What do you think?



Which is better, Devout+30, or Hammer +30



thanks!

I think its a question of survivability and utility vs damage and utility.



1mp5 is not huge but can make a tiny difference. Considering your swapping out will mean you are mid fight and the resilience on hammer could matter. The 3 int gives you a tiny more crit and still has stam. They are about the same but hammer seems to have the edge. Due to the 5 second rule.

I use the hammer with 22 intellect, then swap out to evocators with with 20 spirit. I originally had hammer with 30 sp, but changed chant and was too lazy to grind more emblems for another one

Devouted Aurastone Hammer (22 Int) + Deadskull Shield (7 Stam)



When you burn through 330 Mana,



Devouted Aurastone Hammer (30 SP) + Forest Buckler (7 Stam)



When you go oom



Evocator's Blade (20 Spirit) + Arctic Buckler (4MP5)



Edit: By the looks of it I'd guess your Alliance, so just start off with a Forest Buckler instead of Deadskull.

I'm kinda getting bored of 19s already :/ thinking of going back to 29s...

Keep arctic buckler on at all times. Better in the long run.

Agreed, I keep my arctic with 4 mana (and health!) per5 on most of the time. It also has the highest armor count of ANY shield in the bracket, almost 250 more than forest, which is why I will never use forest buckler. I didnt plan out xp, so I usually start out with a Redbeard's crest if I get in close to melee, then arctic and evoc to pillar hump and regen.

Lutra, if you level, I'll come down south and kick yer ass. Don't do it!!!!

The Blessed Hammer of Grace's 1mp5 is better than the 2 spirit 4 int from Evocator's IMO.
