Heroic badge gear.

Since I'm twinking my lock out with enchants and potions.... I may as well go all the way.

Cashed in some heroic badges for the Relic spellcaster trinket, the Relic cloth shoulders, and the Relic staff. Those un-familiar with Relic gear... you trade a truckload of badges for a shiny beige colored magic item. This item is "Account bound" and can be freely emailed to ANY character on your server on your account. It's always level 1, so this limits the enchants one can place on it. The gear is also super-malleable. On a level 1 character, the staff would be +3 int +2 Sta and +1 spell power. On a level 80 character, the same staff would become +45 Int +40 Sta +95 spell power and +25 Crit rating. Nice eh? An item that levels with you!! The staff works for any Priest + Warlock + Druid + Mage and possibly Elemental Shaman twink you'd want to build.



Still, I'll probably buy one more piece of Relic gear for my Shaman + Feral Druid + Rogue + Paladin. I'm thinking the mace since its gives a good melee boost at every level. Since my shaman does alot of melee. I can't help wanting a 1H + shield.

Why? My wife plays her mage kinda haphazard. I have a level 80 mage and you can do almost all of your fights without letting things get into melee range. Burnt to a crisp at my feet or sheeped and frozen several yards away. Melee is for Melee classes. Her? Different playstyle altogether. One quick blast to pull, and then she exchanges spells at point blank range. She'd be a good Warrior. It also makes her an odd Mage. When I step in to heal or nuke, it makes my Elemental shaman the tank + healer + nuker. THAT is a tough road to travel. I should switch to Enhancement spec and bulk up on armor. That way I can use the same play style and partner up better.
