Was running crypts a few nights ago on my rogue, trying to get those last few bubbles to 70. Our group was me, a 68 mage, 69 warrior tank, druid healer (don't remember lvl) and a 66 hunter. Overall the group was actually good for a pug and we were able to coast through most of the bosses without any real hassle. During one of the breaks while our druid got his mana back up, I thought I'd check out the gear on the hunter just out of curiousity....
Sadly the majority of his gear was shaman spec'd mail all with increase in spell damage!!! Spell Damage, come on it's not as if the spell damage was in little letters....it's the big green letters on the bottom...
So I was curious and asked why he had mostly shaman gear. His reply was simply that it gave him a huge mana pool and that was all that he could get at that level of play. I was kind of taken back since when I was 65/66 on my hunter there was always a decent piece of either mail or leather to choose rather than going with shaman mail. I didn't want to argue with him because I was afraid that he'd be one of those rare hunters that likes to melee every so often.
Needless to say he was a so-so player, but just blew me away that he was so focused on worrying about intellect when all the pieces I picked up while leveling had plenty of +intellect for me.
