Best Shaman Race?

[Rooj]

Discovered this recently when I was stranded in Qeynos while encumbered (too many plats!) on my Iksar SK: http://wiki.project1999.com/images/M...arGuideV1.jpeg

I assumed Iksar couldn't vendor or bank ANYWHERE. Lo and behold, I could vendor and bank in the Qeynos Catacombs. Banking in Freeport isn't a problem either if you have invis (which Shaman do get). Also any player no matter who you are can use the druid portal vendors (though some portals have druid NPCs nearby who WILL kill you), and anyone can use the gypsy vendors as well, which are found all over the world. Quite honestly, being KOS in most of the world really isn't that big of an issue.

I know ikkies start out hated. Goddamn damn racism in Norrath but...I know some people who have done insane faction grinds for their epics and what not so wouldnt anyone be able to just build faction as an ikky or is there something stopping that from being doable? If it's do-able the only thing that i think should be the decision maker is if you are willing to grind factions for hours on useless mobs then go with an ikky. my next toon will be an iksar just not sure on class yet. if they can be warriors (havent checked and memory sucks) then im rolling mine as a warrior for sure XD just going to need a nice healer to help out with the faction grinding if its do-able lol

Use gems as a way to bank. High value, low weight. Reasonable buy/sellback ratio.

Maybe so, but have you ever tried to knock them over from the front? Go ahead. Try. You can't. Know why?

Getting faction with an Iksar is doable. I play an Iksar shaman and I am non kos in both Firona Vie and Freeport (in most parts at least, including the bank area of course). Firona Vie takes time but if you chose your leveling spots carefully (goblins in WW -> goblins in LoIO -> pirates in FV) you should be non kos somewhere around lvl 35. Freeport is easier check out this guide http://mentalized.net/journal/2003/0...-infiltration/ I don't remember the exact time but took me 1-2 weeks (rl time and I don't play super much) downside was that you do not get exp at the same time.

Just do the Neriak wine quest and you can bank there fine

How about bash? is that needed at all? also snare neck seems a bit overrated lasting only 12secs with 6 sec cast.

Cazic worshippers can get a neck with undead fear, 2sec cast time 18 sec duration

Did brandy quest on my Iksar. Got me up to amiable with merchants in FP and Qeynos. Pretty useful.

edit: guards still hate me, however.

Pick what you like? You are playing because of nostalgia... the best race stuff wasn't exactly classic. Many of the top guilds had mostly non ogre tanks.

Skill > Race
Pick what you want! Stop listening to what other people tell you is best. Best is very opinion based usually.

Just don't go ogre. They're fat, dumb, stinky & ugly. Listen to my opinion!
