Stacking ShardsFollow

I suppose it's possible, but as long as you keep your shards in a shard bag, I don't see a problem. If you don't use shards often, drop the shard bag for a normal bag and just keep a couple shards with you. If you fill all your bags, you could drop shards to carry more, but I would recommend heading to a merchant to sell the junk items occasionally or AH, if they're AH worthy.

I agree with Hands-o-death, get rid of the shard bag, space is to precious, and keep 4 or 5 in a regualr bag. If you use a shard, just make sure you replace it with your next mob. It's easy enough to do, and you'll make less trips to the vender. Soulbags are dead space, and if your timeing is on, you can pull a shard when the mob is down under 5% without wasting mana or actual casting time. The only time you may need a few more shards is if you going into a lwr lvl dungeon with mods that won't generate a soul, and your with a bunch of noobs that don't know how to keep from wiping! But that situation will probably be rare, and you'll have time to prepare.

Of course, you can always get the Lock add-on to manage your shards, and then drain every mob out of habit. The Add I use lets me decide how many shards I want to keep in my bag at any one time. I keep 5, the rest are destroyed unless I choose otherwise. So, shard management has become a thing of the past.

I'd rather see Blizz focus on something a little more thrilling than "Shards", like perhaps, a quest to get a feldragon or a Dreadwing...flying mount.....lol....HEY!...stop lauphing..it's OK to dream!

To prevent the accumulation of too many shards, grab an addon called "Shards" it allows you to set a predetermined number and will automatically delete all shards collected above that number. helps prevent over crowding your bag and painful manual deletion when you've racked up 40 odd.

I always feel naked anytime I'm carrying less than 15. Granted with the changes to the summoning there is a reduced need but my current rotation rarely allows for the collection of shards. and I find I can burn through 10 or more very quickly during raids etc.

I doubt they will let shards stack. That would ***** a lot of locks who dumped gold into their new 32 slot bags. Besides with a soul bag they're not hard to manage. Grab some 20 slot bags to fill the rest of your spots. If you don't use shards very often then do what the above poster said and replace the 2-3 you have on you as you use them.

I know it been mentioned before but i want bag buffs, an offset for having to deal with silly reagents.

What do hunters get, 15% ranged haste. 15% spell haste seems fair ;)

Actually, I have more problems on a progression night with shards as Demo than as Aff or Destro. Every wipe costs me two to three shards, one for HS, one for pet, one for Soulstone. Aff and Destro guys just summon an Imp and Soulstone if needed, so only 1 shard.

Also, with the change to the way we make shards, this really isn't a problem, though I do agreem Hunters getting their bag slot back and us still without one sucks. Maybe make the shard bag equipable in the Ammo Slot since we have nothing else to go there?

First clam stacking, now shard stacking. Blizz is ruining this game =(

Ok, granted I don't use shards too often, but they're limiting the number we can even have in our inventory? Sounds rather stupid. Why limit us?

i never said they did stack, but you guys are complaining that 3 shards won't be enough bla bla bla.. read the change to drain soul. also you complained about hunter quivers.. they're being removed and hunters get a passive 15% haste

POST EDIT

twirl, you will only use drain soul for last 25% if you're affliction, but due to the DS change getting shards will be easy for all specs.

you mean 32, and yeah it's annoying we still have to use a shard bag... but i don't expect much from blizzard.. and i've got so much bag space that it's not an issue for me (i actually wouldn't know what to do with another 22 free slots o.0)

My destro lock used 15-20 shards per boss fight... Don't you guy's Soulfire during heroism as Destro??

The reason most people want stackable shards is because running around with a shard pouch means one less bag for loot and other awesome things. The Hunters used to whine about stackable shards because they have to carry around an ammo pouch or a quiver with ammunition for their primary attack.

But... Come Patch 3.1 where ammo stacks in 1000's and the speed bonus on quivers/pouches has been removed and added to the auto-shot attack, I'll be darned if any Hunter wants to run around with an ammo bag anymore. So why do we have to?
