What if you don't want to be an Evil Shaman?

You can stop at a lot of places with Shaman and call it a day. Frankly, you don't even need torpor to be one of the most powerful classes, solo or group.

Iksar best. Bad faction can be a hindrance, but on the other hand, if everyone already hates you you can grind on guards/treants/etc without messing anything up

Not to hijack, but I managed to claw my way up to level 35.4 as an Iksar shaman, but the grind is getting to me. Is the best (or least sanity-wrecking) soloing method just killing hags in Unrest or ganking SK gnolls/delivering their scrolls? For grouping I do KC wall/SolA which works nicely.

Find a melee and duo the gnomes in SolA. Maybe soloable, but I seem to remember them having really high MR. Not 100% sure on that. Either way, fantastic xp into the 40s as long as you don't mind decimating your gnome faction, which as an Iksar, I'd imagine is already kos.

Hmm, I do hate gnomes. I was there a day or two ago with a twinked SK, it was nice.

Personally I did a lot of SK gnolls (and centaurs, aviaks, elephants, lions ... I <3 South Karana). But if you don't like it and SolA doesn't work out (or you can't find a duo partner) check out the Per-Level Hunting Guide; there's a link in my signature.

It's basically just a page with over a hundred different ideas for places to solo/duo/trio, and the vast majority of them are Shaman-doable.

I tend to agree, although they can't use a JBB and Iksar armor graphics look like poo

I can't always follow the crowd on so and so is best for that class. Whatever game I'm playing (style of game) I have a vision in my mind of each class and if there isn't a race that matches up well or I just can't stand then I don't play them. The roleplay in my mind has to sit right. If I play a nature based hunter type then I am playing some type of Elf, a gun toting hunter would be a dwarf, I just have to be able to visualize my Character and in this instance no matter how hard I tried I couldn't see myself playing a Shaman as any of the evil races, but Barb worked because of my extensive reading and my personal thought processes on it. I have nothing against Iskar as I have a Necro one (because it made since in my mind not because everyone said to) because Necromancer SCREAMS Evil. So you see my dilemma. If it doesn't work in my mind I have to do something else or not do it at all. LOL Welcome to my twisted mind.

Yeah, I have that page bookmarked, but I ended up going with the Evil Shaman Solo Guide's suggestion of camping the guards over at the NK/SK zoneline. Mostly since gnolls were camped by level 40s (???) so I just got a bunch of xp over there. Pretty quick and easy!

Good to know. I thought I added all of the places in that guide years ago, but I guess I missed some.


/em adds thread to the overflowing folder of bookmarked threads that have something I need to add to the guide ...
