So considering the TP, they’re worth less than most exotics.

You so silly. Use one of the skins, the blue ones look stunning. Not as much as the condi ones…
At least I hope you didn’t waste that 1g :/
P.S. Yeah now that I think about it… I thought shaman has vitality as primary stat? I love blue If only you could sell them.

Shaman is Toughness primary, healing power+condi damage.

It wouldn’t be so terrible if it didn’t have the healing power, which is a completely useless stat for any condi build that isn’t a BM bunker ranger.

Basically my only real option is to use it on a spec that’s only somewhat good for roaming on WvW, terrible for team GvG WvW activity, and outside that has no use whatsoever.

I’m not sure that prismatic understanding WvW stealth prot spam mesmers run shaman, I think they just go for rabid since most condi builds rely on it. Even the mesmer prefers rabid because Sharpened Images means more bleed uptime.

Anyways, it’s just outright depressing that on a very small chance jackpot, the game spits in your eye by giving you an obsolete item.

I left it in its box hoping someday Anet will start using their head within the next decade and make anything non-berserk, let alone healing power builds, be useful.

But I played ele in GW1, so I know what the odds of that are happening, let alone when.

i Got one also at 38….apothecary

I managed to use it anyway as backup weapon…somehow.
I desperate need a single zzojia or assassin box drop i don t want to bring huntsman to 500 only for a single pistol .-.

In PvE shaman stats are Vitality as main then condi dmg and healing power as minors whereas in sPvP shaman stats are Toughness as major and healing/condi dmg as minors.

The PvE equivalent of sPvP shaman stats are Settlers gear.

Silly how they can’t name them the same way in both game modes.

Oh, yeah, thanks for catching that. I’m just used to the amulet name for my ranger in spvp.

Whether it’s vit or toughness I don’t really mind. What really stings is the useless healing power on it because only a niche ranger build can make use of that stat in a condition build that only works for roaming in WvW.

Healing Power is just a terrible stat and I doubt it’ll ever be good as it only affects relatively few sources compared to the other stats which affect most of your other skills. I can go as far as saying it will likely get no change as they don’t want cleric guardians gaining any more survival.

Weeeeell, I’ve found some use for the settler’s box I dropped… got a scepter for my play-how-I-want condition damage necro. Green with green acrid TA armor it’s not that awful with undead runes.
… Ok, I’m just making up excuses because I like the skin.
Instead I got a magi white dagger and transmuted it on an ascended zerk dagger; the white skin just looks too good, couldn’t resist.
Anyway, the stat rng roulette is bad, but I don’t think that doing it the other way (weapon type roulette with stats to choose from) would be much better. Maybe a little for altholics like myself, but.. meh.
Don’t you even start hoping for the total removal of rng, they enjoy it too much. Take a look at the situation of fractal statless weapons, then look back and laugh.
