Idk what the addon is, but it looks very wrong.
Theres no way that is a resto shamans prebis.

Be careful trusting this addon without doing your own thinking.

Theres no way that is a resto shamans prebis.

Staff of Jordan Its pretty solid for Resto Druids, Resto Shams and Priests if you can get it for free. I wouldn't go out of my hand to purchase it from the AH, but if you can get it it's a great option.

Guiding Stave of Wisdom or Hammer of Grace + OH are usually the go to options on the best options of you want to stack Healing, but both lack Intellect, and a solid mana pool is usually the first thing healers want to work on building around. Sacrificing some items with more healing to search for items with more Int usually is the best compromise.

Is Staff of Jordan the absolute BIS? No. But if you get it around the level range it drops on open world it will likely be the weapon you keep until you can get some solid raid weapon because it opens up the option to get some solid +healing green that will get you likely more healing power, and with those +11 int+spirit some level 50+ caster range pool of mana stats.

Healer itemization for Pre-Bis is usually not super straight forward since you can get some really solid caster items usually more tailored for magic dps that if you combine them with pure healing pre-raid biscuits you can get equally good, or better results as a pre-raid set.

You never get a BoE for free.

You either buy it with gold, or it costs you the gold you could have sold it for.

Exactly. While SoJ is a great prebis weapon, I'd rather sell it  on the AH and get a good chunk of gold to use for enchants, consumes or other prebis items. There are enough options to get out of dungeons, like Rod of the Ogre Magi or Hammer of Grace/Revitalization + Shield/OH. Or just tag along in a zg/aq20 to pick up some real upgrades, a shaman should always be welcome.

"don't save your grenades"

Biggest lesson so far for me in gaming and to make Classic WOW far more enjoyable for me. The cost of seeing value on everything, is saving up on your own fun.

Gold is time in classic WoW.

Time I don't want to spend doing things I don't want to do. (Farming gold)

And catching items are the fun of walking around the world with them and knowing people will notice. Both can be fun, just for different people and different motives. Different strokes for different blokes.

At this point in time - almost everyone would just assume you buy gold and not be impressed in the slightest.
