A GM might be able to tell you who logged in your monk.

I put in a petition.. will see what happens.

Was kind of hoping I would be in EC tonight trying to sell my staff and buy stuff to twink with =/

Iksar regen and small size are a huge plus. If you sell those tink bags, you've got more than enough to comfortably level to 60. I'm 56 with no jbb, and it wasn't particularly challenging. Epic + root is OP. If I had JBB, I'd probably have to slow the mob in nuking in case root breaks, and that's actually a huge mana cost when you're root/rotting 4 at once.

If you stick to cash spots til 45, you could probably get that extra 20k you'll need on top of tink bag 20k to purchase a JBB if you go another race. Don't discount barbarian. Between exp penalties and noob leveling quests, we level super fast.

Alchemy is a non issue. Halfling druid to 19, bind at halas alchemy shop, buy 1k pp charisma gear, still selfport to wc and do your crafting in tunnel. Plenty of enlightenment to help you skill up.

I agree that JBB doesn't help much at 56. It's a lot more powerful solo tool BEFORE you get epic and Paralyzing Earth. JBB becomes an incredibly useful tool again at 60 so you can actually do some dps to that 20k HP mob you're soloing (or as a way to destroy trash mobs without using buckets of mana constantly).

"small size" is irrelevant to a class that gets shrink as a class ability.

Regen bonus is nice, but it is yet another thing you'll realize isn't that important once you get 60 (with fungi, regrowth, and torpor, your racial regen will be insignificant).

The alchemy suggestion is just kinda funny. Sure, it's possible to do all that, but 1kpp worth of mats will last you for about 3 minutes of combines above 100 skill, if that.

That was 1kpp worth of charisma gear. Really more like 800pp iirc. I get the same price on my 111 charisma druid that I get on my max faction barbarian with charisma buff.

Yeah, mat trips are much more expensive than 1kpp, obviously. I spent 5kpp just getting the mats to skill through the DS pots, which are pretty slow moving products. Still, the biggest sellers are SoW, IVU, and Shrink, none of which are particularly expensive to make, so I don't often need more than ~5kpp on that alt.

Gotta admit, though, once you get torpor jbb becomes not quite as big of a deal. pox / bane / epic are just wtf worthy dots.

I would go with a Cleric. Once Velious comes out there will be a BIG NEED for them with all the HP Velious mobs have. Complete Heal is a game breaker then.

There will not be the 40 second fights like in Kunark. And they are really not that much plat to equip. Regents can add up though. But they will REALLY be need for the long fights and raids chain healing. You said you like to group. They fit your need to a tee.

Depends on the mob. Mana spent on pox / bane is still mana you need to spend time regenerating back. And if you're fighting a mob that does decent dps, you will need all of your mana to spend on torpor. I find JBB more time efficient than pox / bane a vast majority of the time, and time efficiency is really the main consideration as a 60 shaman.

Even if you are fighting something where you have the liberty to bane / pox, you probably have the ability to mix in some JBB clicks during dot ticks.

Basically, JBB is really useful and it'd suck to not be able to use it. It's not overrated.
