Equipping a Shaman
This page is designed to help Shaman equip their characters.
Gear here is sorted by expected cost (although all prices listed are only rough estimates, as the server's economy fluctuates).
Notable Items
[edit]Items in this section provide strong and unique benefits (usually beyond just stats) for a Shaman. These items are meant to be the class's equipment "highlights". More general lists of armor sets, and links to all Shaman equipment, are included below.
Weapons
[edit]The weapons below are all notable in some way for a Shaman, due to their right-click effect or proc. A few especially cheap or common weapons with a good damage/delay ratio (ie. if good "leveling weapons" for a starting Shaman) are also included.
Weapons (Main)
[edit]Weapons in this category will typically be used as the Shaman's Primary slot item.
| Item(s) | Era | (Rough) Cost | Ratio | Effect/Proc | Proc Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Poison Wind Censer Poison Wind Censer MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM |
Kun | ~500p | 0.71 | Gale of Poison (3 waves of 122 damage on wielder and nearby enemies) | 50 | Popular NOT for the proc (which hurts the user), but because that proc doesn't start until level 50. This makes it less useful to higher-level characters, and thus cheaper for lower-level ones, and so it has a high damage/delay ratio for its price. |

Weapons (Specific Purpose)

Haste Items
[edit]Shaman do far most of their damage with pets, the Jaundiced Bone Bracer, and DoTs than with melee attacks. While a haste item will add 100% of its haste percentage to a melee character's damage output, a Shaman will get only a fraction of that benefit.
For example, if melee damage makes up 20% of a Shaman's damage overall, then even an expensive

AC: 10

SV FIRE: +15

will only increase damage overall by about 7% ... which means that haste items are not nearly as important for Shaman. That being said, a twinked Shaman might still find it worthwhile to acquire a good haste item, and even a non-twinked Shaman may wish to consider a cheap haste item, eg.
