Default 55+ ogre shammies please chime in on some soloing strats

Just bought me a shammy to doink around with solo...

I've played one on live for a bit but grouped most of the time so that's easy enough...

Just wanted to get an idea of what spells you're using in what order...

Mine is simply:

Open with Root, Malo, Slow, Epic, JBB, Canni, and repeat between epic, jbb, canni (when i can) as needed.

I typically root only once to make sure malo, slow, epic lands then tank it

any other thoughts? any other specific gear that are must haves other than fungi/jbb and ECTunnel gear that i can get under 20k?

I had an iksar, which can't wear JBB. Does using JBB make root break a shitton? Curious incase I reroll another shaman when I sell my Iksar.

Oh, also to maximize efficiency, I start casting my epic right before the 154 damage tick is about to hit, so it lands right after the 165 one hits.

I'm a Troll. Can I answer?

I don't JBB when root/rotting unless it's to finish off an almost dead mob.

Typically, I root, Epic + Plague/BoN until dead. Refreshing Epic DoT about 4 seconds into the 143 tick.

If I melee (which I almost never do solo), then I slow/DoT/pet attack/JBB until dead.

More efficient to root/rot though because you can kill multiples at a time while keeping mana up.


I honestly don't think JBB is a must-have for shamans. It's okay every once in a while, but nothing close to as awesome as the epic dot.

Non ogres very welcome here! I just figure most shammies were just slow tanking...perhaps just the lvl 60 ones with torpor heh.

So yea maybe rootrotting might be best until 60

I'm a lvl 60 with Torpor. But yeah, when fighting higher lvl mobs that summon, you pretty much have to tank.

But most mobs you solo for exp will not summon.

do you find that it's more efficient to just root rot? when i say slow tanking mobs, i include a dual weilding pet for mana-free dps.

oh yea what are most of yall farming? or are you all pushing your limits to see what you can do?

The thing with shammy is, root/rot with epic doesn't cost shit for mana. And it's just as quick if you kill ~5 mobs at once. Epic is pretty OP. I don't ever tank and spank with pet.
