P99 Shaman Simulator

[Serendib]

I wrote a Shaman Solo Simulator! Try it out here:

Have all the fun of playing a shaman in PoM from your browser!

Currently has no resist or interrupt logic, but will get there eventually. Thought you might like to try it out

not classic, ban that guy.

Nicely done.

Sound effects would help immersion a lot, also maybe some scripted events and a scoreboard? :)

Hey that's pretty cool man, forgot the doggo tho.

I loved it, and yet ... why?

[Ooloo]

Dear lord.... so THATS what I've been doing??

As someone who has never played a shaman past like lvl 10, it makes me want to actually play a shaman to 60.

You start to realize after 20 years that the eq devs had a perverse incentive to design classes that they personally wanted to play.

Like "hey dont look over here, I'm making a class that's good at everything. What are you working on frank?"

Why not?

Most excellent. I have been playing a version of that I call healthbar whack-a-mole. I play a cleric.

[tristantio]

Hah that was fun, thanks for the link.

[zelld52]

Same. Never played shaman or cleric before p99 and its basically mini games

It was one guy that did most of the design. And he based everything off the enchanter spell book :eek:

Its actually shocking how accurate this simulator is...

[ReoDobbs]

UI looks better than the "classic" option on green

[Tunabros]

wow very nice job

this is like 99 percent accurate

No. Please. Don't! As someone with Alt-itis on Live, (twinked & non twinked) SHM was the SINGLE class I didn't make past 12. Little did I know, it'd had changed my live exp 100% better, as I found out on P99 as my 4th alt, turned Main when not raiding. Just make sure you roll Inny for the neck, that clicky will help your soloing immensely when pushing limits on things for loot or just to see what you're capable of it you roll Troll. I still think 5regen from the start, combined w/ snare neck (unsure if Ogre can receive it) is > frontal stun immunity but both will/can save your life so its a very complicated debate there. Ikky being out of the question due to not being able to use JBB, debate on that over. Yes, very useful in Velious at 60 for most things, with or w/o malo. The first 25-30 levels are ROUGH w/o twinking of even the smallest degree, not fun with twinking tbh. After your mid 30s and you've got your canni dance ticks timed, smoother sailing. JBB@46+Hardest hitting 2H = solo to 60 boring but very efficient, esp if you keep up haste and borrow a haste item from another char. Hope this helps, haven't read the rest of the pages yet, so may be pointless but yeah, cheers.

Very cool, nice work!

[Trexller]

so, instead of actually playing a shaman...

you made a program to simulate another simulator of a 23 year old elf simulator?
