Thoughts for shaman PVP pelt & Ravenlore

[Gotcha]

Ok, I am almost done lvling my shaman to lvl 94 in case I find a godly +geddon pelt (just in case I go that route my firestorm could be maxed). I have two helm questions I have been pondering over.

Is Ravenlore's -20% even worth considering since people will stack resists at least +30%? Is there really a benefit to this helm with the -20%.

Would it be better to try and get a pelt with +2 druid skills and +3 grizzly and maybe other skills like volcano, etc. (for a whopping +5 grizzly) where instead of lvl 40 grizzly with ravenlore it would be lvl 45 and only loose 1 skill off elemental branch and just forget about ravenlore.

My vote goes for the Ravenlore, with a facet.

Ask yourself this, is +3 to grizzly worth passing up 30 fhr, 30 all resistances, 20 strength and 20 energy? If the answer is no, get Jalal's.

If you think you think you will mostly be up against an opponents who haven't got max resists or aren't stacking, you should go with ravenlore.

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of a rare or magic pelt with +2 druid skills, + 3 to grizzly & maybe another staffmod like volcano, etc. if really lucky. I am thinking that there is a big diff between a lvl 40 grizzly (which is what I would have with Ravenlore) and a lvl 45 Grizzly in PVP. Does anyone have the math on the damage a lvl 40 grizzly does and a lvl 45? Since I will be using a spirit shield mostly and a 20/20 periodically the extra needed FHR to reach 99% can be attained by a few charms. I guess I am really stuck on the Bear issue since it seems like the bear gets like 500 extra damage per 2 skill points placed into it yet I am not sure the actual diff between 40 & 45 so I am stuck between the helm issue.

Level 40 Grizzly (without HoW, might etc) = 4.5k damage (roughly)

Level 45 Grizzly (without HoW, might etc) = 5.8k damage (roughly)

Level 46 Grizzly (without HoW, might etc) = 6.1k damage (roughly)

As you can see quite a big jump in the damage at higher levels. So depends if you want your build more grizzly based or more fire based.

Ya I was noticing that the jumps were getting higher. I will have to base my helm on both with a switch where needed since that is just a huge diff. Especially with HOW helping.

Thanks, those are the numbers I was looking for.
