Prismatic PVP gems on my Shammies?

[cmeche]

I am currently sitting at 520 res, 2200sp with tow, and 17.8k hp on my 4 shammies. I am almost at the point where i can do the jc dailies on all 4. What should I spend my first jc coins on to help pvp wise? It looks like i need at least 2 coins to buy a pattern and then another coin to buy a dragon's eye.....so i def dont want to waist any coins on patters that i dont really need.

+SP, +Stam, +Res, +SP pent.....?



Thanks for the help.

Your sp looks good, resilience is a little low but I wouldn't gem more than one of the +20 resil gems from WG, it just gimps too many other stats if you try to statck resil up to 1000. You can get around 750 resil with only one gem and pve weapons/shield. But I'm most worried about your stamina - 17.8k is like a pve geared mage. Try to push for 20k at least, you'll notice a huge difference.

Spell penetration is massive too. I'm not sure what yours is at but try +75 at the bare minimum. 80-100 would be better and if you need a prismatic for that, go for it.

17.8k stamina and 520 resillience is indeed very low!

Im sitting at 23k hp and 800 resillience unbuffed and if im focused i can drop to dead in matter of seconds. Note that this is without astral shift but the plan was to play with a paladin but i ended up with a priest. (respecing tomorrow, gonna lose 4% hp but its so worth it when im chain silenced,stunned and fear like i am atm)

Thanks for the replys. I have 3 pieces of pve gear that I am working on upgrading to pvp. And a few enchants that need to be applied to my existing pvp gear. Would it be wise to drop some +sp gems and replace them with +stam?

I'd aim to hit 20k HP before you work on Res. If you ahve the entire hateful set you should get close, deadly another 2k or so and furious another 2k or so
