3. spec
37aug 39mend 4pac

I have been debating with myself over this for a bit now. The other possible spec that comes to mind would be 40 mend 36 aug. You would be trading the yellow energy-resist with a 100% rez.

I know you should be aiming for keeping the group alive in the first place - but people will die anyhow and i've heard that people can drop very quickly on this patch level, so the 100% rez would be very useful.
Also, resists don't make you able to resist spells more do they? So the sorc-mezz for example would only be a few seconds shorter on duration?

I can't really decide on this but have been thinking that the rez could be way more useful than a little bit shorter sorc-mezz-duration and a little less hib-bomb-damage perhaps.

What do you think?

There will always be occasions where you don't have that backup paci though. I understand that augies are for resists but do you think the energy buff for those 2 occasions (hib pbaoe and sorc-mez) is really more important than the 100% rez? At least you would have the 2 other yellow resists which seem like the important ones.

Really hard to favor one side but I'm still tending to the rez by now. Not 50 yet so I have a bit more time to think about it.

Since you talk about that : viewtopic.php?f=61&t=40983

In short : what about resists on the lvl 34 AoE mez ? Really wanna tri spec on my pac (33/18/38) but I fear there'll be too much resists.

havent tested it myself and ppl i talk to/play with have divided opinions on it. the biggest advantage on the trispec however is that you get a self s/c. if you´d run the oldschool healer combination such as 44pac 31mend / 40mend 36pac / 37aug 39 mend you would be forced to run a couple s/c charges in the group or run without s/c on your pacs cos shaman wont have enough buffs for everyone. the 33/19/38 spec is definitaly viable and most pacs i know use it. if you´re running a set group with same support all the time id go 44pac on your main pac tho.
