No unless you can get a ultra cheap sd scepter (sun) that no one wants on mc-side. Then I guess it's good enough for PvE.

As far as I know - It will turn your normal atks to specific magic dmg your building, lets say Sun on your shaman and that works fine. However your skills like lighting ball wont benefit from sun and therefore do sad dmg.

Don't trade your spear keep it. Resi/dmg is all that matters in arena, sad but true. And slow atk speed actually benefits you fighting stun classes, so dont worry about that. I'm not going to touch pvp more then that, cause merc covered all of it. Heroic shield is the lv18 shield and you should find them for 100k gold or cheaper. Its not true however that 1h deals less dmg then 2h weapons - the dps between weapon types are alot closer then many believe. However in a hunt I suggest you having taunt lv5, cause classes like rouge and lock have more and/or better dmg skills which.makes holding aggro hard. This leads you to a problem putting out your SP if you want to mix PvP and PvE. Pure PvE is very potent and fun to play, unlike PvP gear that only needs loads of resi and dmg, PvE play lets you experiment with countless solutions to combine your set. Merc advice is a good tip. Its learn by doing and I've tweaked my set a handful of times before ending up with my current set. For PvP you think short term "wins" and for PvE long term "gains" - my guide lines

All you have is 12% block, but you suffer on many other stats. A year ago I would of thought it was a good tank set, but I know better now and def/hp/block is not enough to make top server tank. It's not bad, but it has plenty flaws. When I find gg free I'll make a vid of soloing him (without pots or minion) shouldn't be that much harder then garr, I believe they both have around 40k hp. Problem is that gg is hunted non-stop by parties (on emerald atleast). You know I don't have anything agaisnt you. Just the way youre trying to act like a "Russian PvPrange" without even experimenting different set combinations before assuming that +10 makes you pro - it doesn't.

Yes and that why random makes you pro. Anyone can win with +9/+10 shaman/lock partner - pros win randoms too atleast a nice 80% win rate. Again please add your PvE stats and/or a video of soloing a tougher boss, until then I doubt HP and def maxed is a tweaked PvE set.

It you wanna impress me stop doing arena with high amp shamans and locks - go random, it's the only way to be pro in arena. Anyone can win with a OP class partner that's amped to his teeth. Second you didnt post any tank stats, highest dodge I saw was around 15% and thats low even for pvp. Does your 6k def and 4000HP solo garr shagg I dont know, maybe barely or do you need that +9 shaman to do it? Anyone can amp, this is mediocre to me.

Playing with +10 shamans and locks, yawn, that's so easy mode and lame. I out-tank your full +10 no problem, 3% def reduction it's nothing. PvE tank is not about having 6k def. It needs far more stat balancing.

Well the downside is that regen is 66% slower the shaman/druids hot skill and regen is only 50% in combat.

True, I've always felt people look to much at lv numbers. Lv15 gear is just as good as lv18 95% of the time, but people waste 300-500k (rare leather and cloth) for lv18 when lv15 is 18k. If it's lv20 gear I won't bother amping either. I can wait for avyondil items then. Still I really want this update, please make heroic real though - a real challange now when tanks are useful for one aspect of the game. I don't wanna see any party with heal minions walk through it like its a Sunday.morning.

My current PvE set - love it! Def is 4760, but i'm working to get it back over 5000. Overall block is 48.6% calculating with DS and without enemy acc

Best overall classes high amped are druid, shaman and necro. Cause they do it all better then most classes. They tank, they PvP and heal really good with small changes in gear. Dps classes - I believe locks and rangers have no problem getting in on hunts. Tank classes - DK or pala, both are great for PvE play. l play only PvE set on dk now and nothing can touch me. Solo Garr shagg with eaze (no heals of any kind ofc) so if PvP is not your major attraction that can be a good path. Raids update :)

Spoken like a true leader - agree. Keep in touch Mel, youre a friend and we dont leave friends behind.

I use leather on my PvE DK and solo garr with 50% hp left when he is dead. At a certIan point tweaking your stats pin pointed will benefit you alot more then def amp. We can use different types of armor types, use it to your advantage. Don't be afraid to try different items. You don't need lv18 sets to be strong. I only use 2 lv18 pieces in my set. Sometimes lv18s give you 0.3-0.5% more to a stat. Yes its better I guess but it'll only make a diffrence in 1/200 fights and the price is 25x higher. In my book it doesn't justify the price. Knife or sword - use knives if you wanna save some gold since they are alot cheaper or if you wanna build your gear for atk speed.

Cause hassn rushed us and got gouge by rouge. Naturally then spanish fled back when me and rouge came. When Spanish ran me and rouge let him go and went back and killed hassn 2v1 in a blitz. Then spanish was cornered 2v1 after hassns death Hassns problem is the lack of tactic and arrogance, he will always rush completely depending on his superior amp, and doesn't consider partners game play for a second.

I've only seen 2 flavors, blood orange and cola.

hey maleshaman, do you guys got a soda called "Cockta" in the neatherlands? We just got some at the supermarket and i believe its dutch :drinks:

One of my favorite rock ballads of all time.

With the shadow build I switched firm mail + champion gloves to equal pieces of bg shadow. I don't feel like kw makes so much diffrence that it's worth the expenses to buy it. Leather is +7 for now, but I gotta get it up atleast +8. However I'm not sure if getting DD boots or helmet +10 will give better def amp instead of using 70 signs on bg. Highly doubt I'll score a +10 with8 signs ever again though (shield did). I'll be buffed for raid update :yahoo:

Bloodys bi-weekly gear tweak. New build - shadow tank. My allover block rate is now 48.6%, I've gained 4% crit and 2% acc. Now if I only had a sd my acc would be 19%+ on a tank :good: Got my glove charmed with 1 acc today - lucky! Just need to amp up 300def more to get back on 5000.

Bosses won't start droping loot, more then lv1 spheres, until 2nd island (lv11-12). Read up on BDs in the BD section and get a good understanding for the different stat attributes and then build your character in the direction you want to use it - PvP, PvE, mix etc.

Yes I know.

Use to be shaman when I started v1.3. Now I only play DK, mainly PvE tank now (prepearing for raids) but I use to have a PvP shield set. Hardest random pvp I ever one with shield set, but mediocre dmg - see ss. I've retired from PvP drama now.

party :snorlax:

Give me raids, sounds like tanks will actually have a purpose ingame.

DK - Barbarian is my favorite melee combo. Great PvP synergi. Nice. But how amped is the opponents, I don't know the us server.
