The Spirit Realm

I have a few mana augs from DoN that im thinking of replacing with more HP augs. But im not sure if thats the best idea, which is better overrall for a shaman, hp or mana? Check out the Magelo and let me know what you guys think, Also thinking of dumping all other mana augs i acquire and saving for hp until i get the ones that gives + to both.

Edit: Im using Shield of the Vortex for a shield instead of the sec in my magelo, so im down like 40hp and 30mana, from my magelo.

I always go for HP augs over mana augs. Our ability to canni makes us have a much more versatile mana pool, even if you dont have a very large pool to begin with.

Also, I reccomend getting spiritual channeling when you can, it was one of the big reasons that I swayed from mana augs to HP augs.

hphphphphphphphphphphp i refuse to use a mana aug as a shaman.

(only reason i would justify have a mana aug is if all your slots aren't augged.)

yeah, I pass on mana augs.

I think the only mana aug I would loot and use would be the Qvic mana aug, its a free 90 mana. You don't have to use loot points or DKP to take them from any clerics or other casters because they rot all the time, and the shas are mostly one group'able. Other then that I would use all HP augs (still working on my little guys HP augs too) with a few resists augs mixed in until you gear can get you over 300 resists. Oh and the AC aug in the shield is also a nice idea, I used that one.

I think it has a lot to do with what level in the game you are in. The higher up you go, the more multi-stat augs are available. Anguish augs are almost all 90/90/90 with shielding + attack etc. Earlier on you are usually presented with the problem of well, do I want hp or mana since I cant get both on an aug (some exceptions would be the illsalin aug (70/70/70 i think, unrest mission (65/65/65) nest aug (70/70/70)). In that case I would have to agree with everyone and go more on the hp side, however, that hp converted into mana doesn't mean jack when you can only hold enough to hold a few dots worth of mana.
This is the main reason I try to balance out my augs as much as possible. Although HP = mana for us, it only holds true when we have room to hold it.
