Shaman endgame solo videos

[Killval]

Are there any videos on youtube or anything on P99 of high end geared shamans with epic/torpor/malo/fungi etc... soloing dragons in western wastes? I've heard about these gods, but all the high end soloing videos I've seen have mainly consisted on enchanters/necros/and the odd druid or whatever else mixed in, not much in terms of videos from the shaman? Does anyone have a channel name or twitch stream or video they can recommend I wanna see these beasts in action?

Troutjerkyy has one with him on Colal against Yeldema -- https://www.twitch.tv/videos/322672044?t=01h38m43s

Enjoy watching a video for 45 minutes + of just clicking torpor, clicking slow, clicking dot.

hahahaha i know its a battle of attrition but just the simple fact of someone solo being able to do is quite insane you know? and thanks for the link i knew it was out there somewhere

holy crap torpor is immensely overpowered.

holy crap torpor is immensely overpowered.

Torpor is great, for sure. But it's the whole package that makes shamans SO powerful. Torpor can't keep up without slow. Mana will run out without canni. Etc.

Any solo class is like that pretty much. The solo (well, and duo, and trio) powerhouse classes each have a few spells that really work off of each other to make the class so powerful overall. Something something force multiplier.

Sure chanter charm is OP, but without slow a charmed pet still eats shit, and without runes and stuns a chanter has 0 chance to recover from a charm break. Sure lich is OP, but without lifetaps it'd just get the necro killed, and without more dots mobs would always wear the necro/pet down before it's dead. And so on. Maybe you don't always need all of the keystone abilities of a class to solo something tough... something's immune to slow or whatever... but generally that's how those classes end up so capable in solo, synergizing their force multiplier spells.

Yeah, I agree with this. I think the reason Torpor gets all the lime light for the shaman is that it’s the only one if it’s kind. Canni and slow the shaman gets early in life but no other heal prior to Torpor has even a hint of the brutal efficiency of Torpor. If it was just the best version of a spell line you got early, like Demi Lich for the necro, then yeah it probably wouldn’t be thought of quite as reverently

Found this old video I did of me splitting and killing A4 halflings on my shaman: https://youtu.be/7ApokDSMAZA

Hahah forgot about this thread but came back to see you comment, super cool I watch your Enchanter vids a lot on my second monitor when I'm playing on my Shaman/Enchanter/Necro... also I agree totally man, like there's something really special about how they were able to synergize these classes from the get-go, especially those 3 classes I listed above Shaman/Enchanter/Necro they all are super well designed with very little fluff, sure there's some off dumb spells like Necro destroys plants or w/e but for the other 98% or so of design is hardly rivaled by anything else out in any MMO games I've personally played.

Dude made more than one mistake that would have been game over any other way, and still did the job. That's ridiculous.

One day that'll be me fuckin' up and still comin' out on top :B

I've soloed yeldema several times on red on a group geared troll shaman (fungi as best item - zero raid items, no epic, no consumables or outside buffs).

Its very easy provided slow is refreshed timely and a simple rotation of torpor, canni and dots is followed.

Amazing how the person in the vid isn't autoattacking. Press Q for DPS!! He should also be using torpor on his pet rather then superior heal, this would open up a spellslot for a DR debuff. Haste on pet before engage would also help a lot.

Not an optimal performance for sure.

Just saw the part where he cast bane on himself.

Amazing.

+4 dragons are generally speaking significantly harder than +6 dragons. Ayilish rampages and hits harder.

[derpcake2]

I didn't have the gear on red to solo Ayillish, the AE really wrecks pets and the cancel magic can be really annoying to deal with.

That being said a well geared shm can do that one also I am sure, especially with consumables. A simple DS potion would speed up the fight a lot.

I can solo Ayillish without consumables on my shaman. I have SS/ToV/a few BiS (~4100hp/1200ac with aego atm, still missing Strength of the Elements/could definitely upgrade many slots with ToV). The AoE really isn't that bad if you have clickies to replaces the buffs that get dispelled (ring 10, sow boots, grim aura, etc)

It's really just malo -> slow -> dots/pet -> reslow -> remalo -> etc. The only times things get hairy is if I am lazy and wait to long to reslow, because the mana does add up. I can do any of the warrior pit dragons/nest dragons, the clerics are too hard for obvious reasons.

What's more interesting imo is duoing Guardian Wurms outside VP with a rogue. The way I do it is have the rogue get on my druid harmony the 2 other wurms, then I pull with malo and they snare it, and we trade aggro back and forth until slow lands. Then I pull the wurm back to the VP ZL and tank it while the rogue logs over. Then we just DPS it down and I keep slow up. The ROI on this fight is higher than the WW dragons imo. Let me know if you have any questions... sorry I don't have video, but I can try to take some!

Edit: I should also add that I use Flash of Light to pull aggro off the rogue. Also I keep him Avatar-ed at all times.

[derpcake2]

I've quit a long time ago but I'd appreciate a vid, I'm sure many would.

Iirc I self buffed to 1900ish HP, with djarns ring, so that is quite a difference.

Casual play on red doesn't involve getting Aego, unfortunately.

Good old Flash of Light, the taunt button of choice for Shaman tanks everywhere :)

Sorry to hijack this, but just curious, would a 60/60 shaman/monk team be able to duo G-wurms without having access to a druid?

Yes, however it is difficult as you have to land a slow quickly before he eats you even through Torpor. If you get resisted like 4 times in a row or something you're probably dead

Sizar is right, however there is one benefit to that combo which is the monk can split them and even kite the other 2 while you run around and try to slow, then they can bio orb or wherever to pull aggro back to them after you tank it while they reset the other wurms. I have not done that duo, only with a larger party, so be wary.
