Sham Leveling Advice please

[Byrjun]

Shamans are garbage at lower levels. All of your spells cost too much mana and don't really do anything. You're best off grouping if you're not twinked. Once you at least get a pet soloing becomes a bit less painful, but it's not great until 50+ or so.

Check out the guide in my Signature, if you are evil you follow it to a T and solo 1-56+. No gear or groups required.

Slow slow slow win win win

This is terrible advice at low levels. It's way more effective to root/dot until you get canni and a pet.

This is only once you get affliction. Sicken is too slow and tainted breath is *barely* more efficient than spirit strike.

You're in a really annoying inbetween stage. It'll be hard for a bit [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The dude is like lvl 10 you think he has the mana to do that? Slow is op at low lvls. I solod to 41 for the most part on my shaman. Root rotting only starts being efficient at lvl 24 when you finally get dots that do damage. Grouping is always a better idea for the lower levels due to lack of damage. Just find stuff you can kill and take your time if you dont want to group or cant find one. Population has increased a lot lately on the server so your chances of finding a melee to help you kill are tremendous. Just go lfg or ask a monk or something. Also inner fire spam is way more mana efficient then any heal until normal "healing" unless in certain situations due to cast time. Just dont give up, shaman is my favorite class and ive been having a blast re-living the adventure!

Edit: spelling.

if you can get your hands on a poison wind censer, it increase your melee DPS by a pretty good bit vs a 1 handed weapon...it's 20/28 I believe and goes for around 1.5k - I know that might be a bit but maybe you know a friend who can loan you the plat

a strong 2hb like that will save you from burning your mana on nukes, you will only need to nuke the mob once or twice using it instead of 3-4 times or so....

im leveling a shaman on Red now so I know the feeling

oasis kind of sucks anyway. One thing you might try is killing wisps and collecting as many GLSs as you can then turn them in in NK for 9p each and a little bump of exp. Bandits in the karanas also drop sashes which can be turned in for exp and bronze weapons. These mobs will be light blue to green in some cases but the turn exp makes up for it. Its just about the best money for your level too so win win.

Shamans are REALLY hard to play solo until level 24. And then not too great till you get your dog at level 34.

You will just have to plug along for awhile or go to a zone where you can get groups. Not many people are going to turn down a Shaman group wise trust me. It is well worth the trouble to keep leveling up, slow as it might seem, for the end result of having probably one of the best classes, both solo and group wise, on here.

But they are a busy class both grouping and solo. And can be very expensive gear wise to have a really nice one higher up. But you made a good decision. Just stick with it and you will be a happy camper down the road. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Second person to even notice (or atleast mention it)!

We group together non stop nightly and only one person has ever mentioned it.

Oddly enough there is an ikky necro running around that same levels named Soke. So that is cool too!
