Oh you do. I think the avatar just gives me headaches.

sorry bro its been there since like day 2, ive only changed it twice, just can't do it. its too perfect.

if you've got the funding, get a Poison Wind Censor or Granite Face Grinder. pull with slow, add dots, melee. eventually add haste and the pet into the mix (doge is a persistent dot imo) doesn't need to change until you're 50 w/ epic.

but that depends on money situation. I have a fungi tunic and staff on my shaman, on simple fights (maybe i don't even have dots on, or levels where your slow is new and OP) i like to canni between swings of my GFG and hardly lose HP in a fight v slowed dark blue mob.

this exactly. slow pull, spend a dot or two on a mob and melee it to death. canni in between swings and keep regen up and youll be a playa play.

that or duo with pure DPS. i rolled my shammy to solo, but my best exp was duoing with a chanter with a mean pet.

Yes, a PWC is a very good investment. Root, dot and melee. I didn't bother with sicken.

[radditsu]

Regen and a heavy hitter ( if affordable) is def way to go.

[DrKvothe]

Agreed about poison wind censor. If you're going to solo pre-34, hefty weapon + cheap slow is solid.

But you can stop soloing pretty soon. 24-25 is the entry level for HHK goblin groups. You'll make thousands of plat and the trip to 34 will be smooth and quick.

[Iliilliill]

29-34 at the SK Treants is also easy regardless of equipment and will yield you a few k pp. chain nuke, and as a barb you have slam to interrupt if you'd like too. will screw up your druid faction, but fuck them anyway.

[Matthalas Winterheart]

Appreciate all the insight everyone! I've definitely got some things I can apply now. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Slow and Haste are two VERY big mana eaters. Don't use slow if you are just trying to root rot. A DoT that only does 1 damage a tick is a total waste of time at your level.

You will be busy as hell ALL the time on a Shaman either grouping or soloing. I sort of hate mine lol. Too god damn much work. [You must be logged in to view images.

Why does a shaman need a CoF?
