Nc- Caster Temp Hammer/Shield -Take 2 - Input Pls.

I could use some input on this template,.. I've been trying for a while to make a Hammer / Shield template for all my casters,.. the last one (posted further down) got pretty exspensive with alot of Dragon Drops (3200Ish Scales total).. So i decided to make another go at it.. and this is what i came up with..

Imo then its a decent template, would love abit more con and the Runed Saga Etched Shield in the temp but i couldnt get it to fit..

My Main Focus:
Arcane Siphon, Power Regen Sleeves, Interrupts (BoZ, ML10 Cloak), 10/10/10/10, Resists, Stats,

looks good to be honest NC might run that on me WL time to farm scales uck

Yeah.. Should take less Scales than last Hammer/Shield temp tho.. only thing i really miss is Dragon Shield, but the stats just wouldnt work so i had to go with Cloth Cap and Crafted shield..

Not sure if i wanna run CL/DR Staff (for power regen) or if im going to try with Traldor's Oracle (For extra dmg buff)..

EDIT: Sc in first post is corrected..

Spoke abit with Chosen, and he pointed out that i missed a Shapechange arti (as i ofc already knew) but after a little discussion on the subject we agreed that the only thing that would really change a fight would be full grp to run the same Shape (MS,Cat or DS,Phanter) and he adviced me to try and fit it in my temp.. That i have now done with this result..

With the Following temp i will have:
2x50% Power regen (Cloth Cap + Staff). 1x30% Grp Power regen (JS).
Self + Grp ShapeChange (DS).
20% Arcane Siphon(JS + Dragon Hammer).
10 Mythical Power regen (Sleeves).
Rest you can see in the temp itself..

Really like the last one, the resists on matter/spirit/energy is the only problem as you have already mentioned!(But not critical imo).

+ You have higher AF and the DS shapechange!

I would realy like to test out my own version of this template, without DS :p

Only problem is i can no longer get my hands on the sleves ;(

Any idea on when the merchants will be back, or if they will be back at all?

Did they change the DS panther form? Because if they didn't it's completely useless as it breaks back to normal form the very second you get any type of spell on you from another realm.

Afaik the DS Bracer Form still breaks when getting hit, but the idea behind it was that all casters in GG would run DS so we had several forms to use after battle... But the idea kinda got picked down by ppls not being willing to run in the form so i dropped the DS temp and run the first one i posted with higher resists.

Im running this temp on my SM and i've never run out of power during RvR, not even in zergs where you just spamm the spells.. and i only got Avg power myth equiped.
