Hi there,

I was wondering if i can get some feedback on the shaman AA line. i can go 20 points into the agi line and get 15% heal crit. or i can go 20 points into the sta line and get faster cure at power reduced costs. with the TSO content having so many raids that need cures etc, is this a good line to go down?

Also, does heal crit mean wards also ie. a critical ward gives more hp then a regular one? if so then i'm tempted to abandon my str line in favor of the sta line.

thanx for reading.

Jorgan.

Heal crit is important, it increases heals by 30% and wards by 15%.

Having said that, cures in the higher raid areas are crazy AND gear and raid buffs make it pretty easy to get to 100% heal crit. Use the 3% heal crit temp adorn, 4% heal crit potion and raid buffed if you can get over 85-90% heal crit or higher, switch to cure spec.

That's just my .02, of course - I'm sure others will tell you a variety of things :P

I tried faster cures...but didnt notice much diffrence tbh. In most cases your group gives you faster casting anyway...so can just aswell go healcrit. The biggest problem imo isnt the actual castingspeed on a cure...its more if I shall cancel my groupward and instead cast a cure.
There are so many other things in the way...lol so maybe they should lower the casttime on groupwards and stuff instead so we have time to cure

The output you gain from ignoring cures is not more than the output someone else loses from aggressively curing. Whenever you reduce cast times for any ability that you use, you basically reduce the cast times for all of your abilities that you use. This is because you don't just cast the same ability over and over. You go through predictable casting patterns of which ideally includes single target ward cast tandem with cure. Hence, curing faster is the same as lowering your ward cast times.

Man the fuck up, go fast cures to solo heal your grp on tyrranius/gozak.

There are no cures on Gozak... iz ez mode! /wrists.

If they made it affect Curse-cure, and groupcure, then I would go faster cures. But so far from testing all kinds of specs in shamantree, im rather AGI + WIS.or AGI+STR.....but again its reallly up to each person what feels comfortable for them and their playstyle.
Nothing is right or wrong.

str - dog buffs + aoe avoid group ward proc
sta - fast cures
wis - reuse and alacrity

only take agi if you dont have enough gear to get 100% heal crit self or raid buffed.

p.s agi spec was only ever good for palace mobs.. soe fucked that up so never take agi ever again
