Shaman Mask Quest & High Tiers

I begin this thread to talk about something I've talked with all the High End Guild Shamans.

The Shaman Mask quest is one of the best quests of game in my opinion, lot of fun involved, lot of lore and of course a really great reward which is with you during all the tier-raid progression.

But when you get to a high tier, despite Mask effects (the Slow Focus and the 35 Recovery) are irreplaceable the stats of the mask are by far one of the worst items of your equipment. I can think about 3 far better masks from IP tier and up that a Shaman can use (and I'm sure on higher tiers there are even better ones).

Or course, giving an item that effect would led to people jump the quest which is something I wouldn't like to happen (quest is cool and as a shaman you HAVE to do it).

I would, though, like to propose 2 solutions to this, in order to not make it useless at high tier levels:

1) Possibility of turning mask into an augment with the effects mentioned above. That would let us have always the effect with us.
2) New quest line which let you upgrade mask involving drops from raid mobs of a tier on pair of the upgraded mask stats.

What do you think?
 
There is already a lesser slow focus on the Thaz arms, plus you can always swap it in for a slow on a raid mob, then swap your regular mask back in. AS for the idea itself, it was already suggested but I think the staff has too much on its plate already to make a turn in or augment out of it.

\/ bwahaha =p
 
this was discussed not to long ago for the effect on an augument.

You realise Thaz arms have lesser swarm mastery for shms ?
 
Already has been discussed previously. The fix then was to add the lesser focus and have shammies actually have to do a bit of work (oh noes) to switch the mask in when they want that extra kick in their slows. I dont think anything has changed since then to warrant another change.
 
I recall when it was suggested, it really is not a pain to swap it in Woldo knows this but it can an annoyance when you need to do it more than usual.
However, in regards to the lesser swarm mastery on the Thaz arms.... lol, I know malleus and Podge used them but the lesser effect didnt have significant differences on killing trash and such, and the reason i know this for someone NOT having them, is the fact that, well... yes... NOT having them also didnt have a significant difference on killing trash and such :p

Lesser Swarm Mastery = a waste and that effect should be replaced if anything.

As far as Sanctum goes, mask usually required even for trash so. Yeah whatever :p

I used them because at the time I got them they were an upgrade to what I was wearing not specifically for the focus. Swapping in the mask for a couple seconds on mobs where a bit more slow matters is just a fact of life when you are a shaman.
 
Solution: Need more High End SHM ONLY items (suck it zarra) with the effect already on it, giggle. LAWL
