I have 2 sets. One places a premium on AC when I'm grouping because shaman get hit a lot doing CC.

The other set focuses on mana for raiding when I'm not as likely to be getting a lot of melee.

Solo gear as shaman? Dunno. Solo is for WoW people, grouping is for EQ people.

The most played classes, by far, are solo-heavy classes. That's not a coincidence. EQ is for anyone who wants to play it, in any way they deem fun.

ya i agree, ps u can solo a rogue but it requires creativeness beyond the 'snare root kite'

people who play necros, druids, shams, and mages are all gr8 nothing wrong with that, its a great place to start

there's no wrong way to adventure in eq

Shaman is perfect for anyone who wants a class that's great for soloing and highly desirable for groups as well

1-24 is a bit of a slot. Soon as u get Canni everything changes and then again when u get your pet @ 34.

And again especially in Classic - those stat buffs are huge due to the lack of +stats gear

I stand by my statement. If you are primarily a solo player I recommend other games. EQ is a grouping game that shines when forcing people to group for content and socialize. Try Red and a plethora of other games if you just want to solo. It'll be by far a better experience.

Solo mentality pushes for solo focus game play are what killed all of the modern MMOs including EQ.

That is 1 aspect of EQ, it is not the entire way to play the game bro

U are NOT wrong, ur in fact right, but your black and white bipolar thinking is really shading me

I personally like EQ rogues much more than wow rogues, for VARIOUS reasons

like, first of all there are zero dark elfs in wow, and pick pocket is a cool skill in EQ

It takes a clever mind to enjoy a rogue in EQ, in wow, rogues are only about dmg and kidney shotting in pvp, and less about adventure & mystery

weres my burnin rapier quest in wow with fire proc of doom??

what about POISON resist and farmin darkweeds? and legitimate use for pearl rings? not in wow

wow is cool i really enjoyed pvping on a 30 ish rogue in classic wow but it will never be EQ

While I agree with much of this, EQ is also a game that caters to many different playstyles. Also playing on Red isn't really any kind of "EQ experience" at all due to the low population.

The Druid, for example, was designed for the self-sufficiency of a soloer's playstyle.

Also there's little worse in EQ than sitting around for two hours LFG on your Warrior or Rogue and getting almost nothing done. There's a reason why WOW made every class soloable to some extent

Name a game that gives the same experience as dungeon crawling solo on an Enchanter or Necromancer, or hell even a Shaman when they get their Kunark tricks.

There isn't another single or multiplayer RPG that gives that experience or gameplay.

get a good shield that extra ac really helps in that slot and only that slot really its like a permanent armor of faith buffins, unless u r uh, root jousting with a big hitter like gatorsmash
