Shaman Gear

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Okay, so I'm playing on Yelinak, where we're about to have LDoN released (I'm writing this in March, 2023), and I realize that I have dozens of expansions to go (Yay!) and I'd like to think ahead and plan gear.

There are so many more excellent sources now that this work will be largely only for me - but then, that's how Samanna.net started anyway. For awesome loot searching, please visit:

I was going to make a bunch of fancy tables, but they're not really needed with all these awesome resources. So, just for fun, I'm making Best-In-Slot tables for non-raiding Shamans at each expansion.

What's the Formatting?

If it's listed here, a Shaman can wear it and can obtain it without any raiding. In period BIS tables below, I'll use the following conventions for no special reason. In fact, I may get bored and just do it all in black anyway. But to start with:

  • All Classes
  • Chain Classes
  • Plate & Chain Classes
  • Priest & Caster Classes
  • Priest Classes (or some whacky mish-mash)
  • Shaman Only!

As a refresher to me, here is how the classes are categorized:

Class Categories
* Plate Chain Leather Silk
Melee WAR BER ROG MNK
Hybrid BRD PAL SHD RNG BST
Priest CLR SHM DRU
Caster ENC MAG NEC WIZ

L50-60: EQ, RoK, SoV, SoL

I'll redo this with BIS tables for each release.

L65: PoP, LoY, LDoN, GoD

You know, I was going to make all these tables, one for each slot, listing what you can wear and where it comes from and what the main stats are, but EQItems.com already exists, so why should I bother?

Instead, I'm going to list the Best in Slot (BIS) gear for these expansions. Primary criteria will be HP, regardless of what Brohg says. :)
